What????

So, I come home from a weekend away to find that my sweet boy broke the rules and did something big while I was gone...he got a tooth! And the next day he got another tooth!!...at 3 1/2 months...WHAT???? I had no idea you could get teeth that early..I was even more shocked since Charlie was 10 months before he got his first tooth. I was looking this morning and since the first one came up on Monday they are now both almost 1/2 way out!! I will be ready for them to be all the way out...Easton is not loving his new teeth!!!This was Monday..the next day the one on the left broke skin! (check out those lashes!!)
Charlie wanted to make sure we knew he had teeth too!!!

Come on...LOVE HIM!!!

Since we are getting to be a big boy, we decide it was time Easton joined us at the table...I totally thought he would fall over to the side or something, but he sat there like a big kid and just talked all through lunch!!

Lake time!

So, we headed back to the lake again last weekend with the Brooms!

We had so much fun last year and I have been really looking forward to getting out on the lake again..I enjoy it, but I love to watch the boys enjoy it even more! We left Easton in good hands with grandparents..I knew we could take him to the lake and he'd be fine, but we went to SeaWorld the last day and I knew he could possibly melt away that day..my super hot baby does not like to get even hotter! Mamaw and Grandad's house has an elevator...need I say more! We were super lazy and used the elevator all weekend..Charlie thought he was cool stuff!

these are backwards..oh well! This is me knee boarding...I know to many people that this is no big deal. It's true that when you have grown up on water and been on boats your whole life..it's not a big deal. I did not grow up on boats and water and have skied once or twice in my life..once in Jr high..and that ended poorly..and once in college out of peer pressure:) So, when my husband assumed that I could not/would not try the knee board I instantly went into "you don't think I can do it?..so now I must "mode"..it took a few tries, but I got up! Long enough to get a photo and feel like the effort was worth it! I actually think this picture was from a time I did not get all the way up, but you get the idea!

this is Kendra explaining to me how to do it..notice the huge laugh/smile on my face...she made it sound simple..and I thought that balancing on the board alone was difficult!!

you know we were rocking the skull tattoo's..there were at least 5 on his body at all times!

Bradley got crafty and made the kids Mickey pancakes..Kendra and I request our initials and a heart..not together!..and we were denied! Guess we know who takes priority!!

This face does not scream "I'm loving it"..we decided that we think he get motion sickness. Charlie would be super happy and going non-stop and then the minute we got on the boat he was very somber..and said his tummy hurt:( The minute we got into the water or off the boat he perked back up...if I was a good mom I would have taken him off the boat, but since we rarely get to do this he stayed on and even got tossed on the tube occasionally!

He was not about to let me and Cass go alone so he hopped on with us! On one side you have Cass screaming "Faster" and on the other you have Charlie saying "Slow down"....does that seem backwards???!!!

This trip Charlie realized that Cason can play too!! The boys had a good time and played good together!..but I think Charlie's favorite thing was to be "bulls-eye" to Cass's "Jessie"(ToyStory)! She got to order him around and he got to be a horse..does it get any better!!

I am biased, but he is beautiful!!

..and a little gay in this hat!! He would never put this hat on if it was his, but since it was Cason's, he was game!..why is other people's stuff always cooler!

I think I took a lot of these type of pictures...I just couldn't stop staring at him!

the hat makes me laugh every time!

no clue what they were doing...something manly I am sure!

someone has no fear.....:)

Yes, this screams WT and safety hazard..it lasted all of 2 min and we were hands on at all times! The kids..and maybe their moms..have a thing about being in lake and being fearful of things touching us..I am doubt full that I passed this to him, but the idea was tossed out!

how is that for a self portrait...amazing..or not!!:)

I think the really cute picture of the three of them is on Kendra's camera..this is the best I got!! Is Charlie is yelling at me to put down the camera..again?? I actually think I catch him right as he screams "Cheese!!"

This fuzzy picture is my husband wake boarding..something he has not done in at least 8 years...and he sure did just pop right up!! Kinda makes me super proud and kinda make me want to hit him...I'm just saying! Every time Bradley and I would fall Charlie would get real concerned and start asking "Are you okay?" over and over until we assured him we were fine! Up next..Arkansas and SeaWorld pictures...man I LOVE summer!!!!!

tide you over

While I am working on some post from our last 2 weekends out of town..let me tide you over with this..any guesses what this big boy accomplished while we were gone last weekend????..he is giving you a hint!!

Fourth of July

So, I am behind on my posting, but since the plan is to get the blog put into a book for the boys..I am trying to keep up..even if I am a bit behind! The fourth was a great day and both boys did great all day...parade, pool time, Toy Story 3, dinner and fireworks..such troopers! Easton did great with the loud noises during the fireworks shows, but Charlie cracked me up when he covered his eyes not ears..it was to bright he said!!

I played with the editing on these..I usually stick with one style for each post, but I was experimenting with some new ones so it's kinda a hodge podge!Pool time!

What an amazing family photo...or not!

Someone was so happy to spend some time with Daddy.. after Daddy had been gone for a while!!

Chilaxin pool side!..this was before I put him in the ice cold water and he turned a cute shade of blue!

Sitting down to watch the parade!..they were super entertained and well behaved once it started!

he's mine girls...:)

Why does this make me laugh!!

this was the best it got that day!

same picture..I just couldn't decided which edit I liked best!

I attempted to take a picture of all Eastons fourth of July outfits..we went through 6 that day...why is my belly not that cute when it's that big!!

Since when did I get a lazy eye?...maybe that's where Easton gets it from:)..I notice it on both of us in EVERY picture!!

Someone thought this was cute and very funny.....

so someone else felt the need to duplicate!!

Charlie now thinks that parades are the greatest thing ever...good parenting on my part since I cant remember taking him to another one before this...!

Loved hearing Charlie try to explain "Independence" and "Freedom"..at least he knew the day was about more then fireworks!

Real or Fake??

Okay, I feel the need to start out by saying..I love Easton.. so much that I still tear up every now and then when I look at him..my heart is just overflowing with love for that boy..he melts me in a way that my "serious Charlie" did not at this age...with that..tell me he doesn't look like a fake baby in these pictures!!???!?!?!?

Not sure if it is the pale or shiny that causes it, but I have a ton of pictures where he looks like a fake baby doll!!

****funny side note...I had someone the other day tell me that they were trying to describe how differnet the boys are..they really have been two almost completely different babies for me and when the person.. who will remain nameless tried to describe them she may have said "they are so different its like black and white with those boys".....um, pretty much!! She got embarrassed when she realized what she said, but I found her uncomfortableness super funny and entertaining!!

Long time no post...

There is a million really great reasons that I am behind on my blogging..I have only opted to share the really lame ones!

These next 7 pictures are just a large reminder that I will probably never get a great picture of both my boys again until they are bribe-able or threaten-able....all theses pictures are just a small representation of all the photos on my camera!!..reason #1..why blog bad pictures!

Charlie is reading his shirt to us..thanks, but we just said smile!!
nice..:)

Easton..bless his heart!!

Charlie: "you want me to smile?"

Telling us what Easton's shirt says..we got it, just smile please!

again with the shirt???

at least one child followed instructions!

just thought I'd toss this one in..this kid can be entertained for hours if you put him under the fan!!..

reason#2 to not blog..when he is entertained I get work done around the house..and by work, I mean get caught up on The Bachelorette during nap time!

reason # 3...Charlie.does.not.cooperate when he sees a camera...case and point above!

reason #4...Easton looks like this in most pictures..he actually usually has a smile! But there is ALWAYS spit up on him. We average 5-7 outfits a day..I only wish I was kidding..

reason#5..always doing laundry in free time..see above statement for explanation.

reason#6..Charlie is special..and I don't always mean the "good" kind of special!!

please see reason #3...

working on some more post..but ya know, no promises!!..at least till summer is over!!
