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!!

Slip and Slide

So, when we started looking for houses we looked for ones with pools..ours had a pool when we put the contract on it, but by the time it was ours the pool was gone becasue of foundation cracks in it. Bradley has promised me that we can put another pool in (not really, but I am really pushing that one..I even opted to not have a 4th child if I could have a pool..and while that sounds tacky, I had already decided on no 4th kiddo..I just hadn't told him that!) but until we get that pool we are going to have to white-trash it with our slip and slide..and dont think I am calling yours/all slip and slides white trash..but we white trashed it up!!! I have promised the kids to get two more slip and slides and that we'd connect all 4 accross the backyard..that will make for some fun/white trash times!!!

Charlie

Addison..her and Brady went so stinkin fast every time that EVERY picture is blurry!

see..this is Brady!

Sage

Noah

Easton chilled inside while the big kids played outside..check out those fingers in his mouth! He loves those fingers..no thumb, but yes to the fingers!!

Charlie may have placed the ball in his hand!!

LOVE.IT!!

Whenever Easton is in one of these toys Chrlie will..without fail, everytime..get in the other and declare that "You have two babies momma"..to which I reply that I sure do!..and no matter how old they get, I always will!!

Potty time

I keep wanting to document potty training...but then I get overwhelmed and nauseous just thinking of potty training..why document that really un-fun time..I was never one to dread potty training..I'll just wait till he is ready and it will be no big deal....well, I waited till he was ready and it was a BIG deal!!! Doubt I'll ever write it down..no need to relive it! But, bottom line is we are potty trained and were all super happy about it...not looking forward to Easton turning 2 1/2 and doing it all again!!!!

nice...

Water baby

So, we have been loving the pool, but I have been feeling kinda bad for Easton. He usually just chills in his carseat, his bouncy or sleeps on a lounge chair..not anymore!! I got him in the pool this week in charlies old floatie and he was loving it!!! It was a perfect fit for him!!
