Um, this weather rocks!!!

Um, this weather has been AWESOME!! The cooler mornings and evenings have been so nice and we have been hanging outside so much!
I told Bradley that if we lived somewhere where the weather was always like this then we'd have the most fit and active family! We have been walking, running, riding bikes, "hiking" and eating only at patio restaurants!

I love this nature center near our house...so pretty to walk through!


Photo bomb!!


Crazy kid!


























Hoping this nice weather continues!!

First day of pre-school

Got the boys off to their first day of pre-school today and they both did great!  I wasn't worried about Charlie, but I was about Easton.  I was not planning to send Easton until recently..after ECI suggested it a few times..and then I also realized that he needed to learn to be away from his mama.  His need to be right by my side was only growing stronger so we are hoping school teaches him some independence!  To my surprise, Easton did better then I had anticipated!!  He totally cried, but it was shorter and quieter then I was ready for.  YAY!! 

Pictures before school were not a success..but they were taken and we were super early to school...so I get points for that, right!!!

you get out takes and all today!!

really Charlie?!!?

the bow must be making Harper's head heavy! 

and they are about done...

this wins as the best of the three of them!

um, this face says so many things....

no more pictures mom...

he is "trying to break my camera with his big smile"...what, a little white lie to get a kid to smile never hurt anyone..

He wanted to show off his back pack....and I get mom of the year for letting him pick this one out.  The 3-d shark head is terrible, but he loves it!!

He was not ready or excited for school until he got the back pack and then he was super excited to go!!!

Easton knew something was up today..my smiley happy kid was whining and crying for me while I was trying to take his picture..at our house...I got no good pictures, BUT I did manage to capture an accurate representation of how Easton felt about school!!

Keeping his backpack up on his shoulders wore him out.  I looked over about 5 min later and the back pack is laying in the driveway and Easton was getting in the car!

This face is the one I know and love!  He thought I was done with pictures so I surprised him and got a good one..while running from him:)

Since school is now 4 min away (HOLLA) we were early.  To kill time each boy picked out a song on my phone and then headed in with all smiles!! 

The boys had to talk to Daddy before school!

So blessed that today was a great day!

park days..at 100+ degree temps:(

Its summer.

Its freaking hot.

This past week has been better.

But these pictures are from about 3 weeks ago.

At that time it was still 100+ temps:(

Daddy can run and play and get hot.

Ill sit with Harper in the shade.

Its for her sake since she is a baby.

Not because I hate being in the sun.

Don't judge.

Try being this pale and liking the sun.

Enjoy past pictures of Charlie.

Because he now covers his face when he sees a camera.

I blame his father.

This kid has an ARM on him.

Two actually.

He can throw this ball like a kid twice his age.

Yup, he can throw like a 5 yr old.

You get the point, he is like super athletic.

You can blame me for that one.

Surly you caught the humor in that last statement.

So much for capturing his childhood.

This is a phase right?

It will pass right?

Even if he has been like this for 2 yrs now?

My boys rock.

They all make me laugh.

They all crack me up.

They are all awesome.

Glad God said yes when I asked for all three of them.

Still learning the ropes to baseball.

Helmets belong on for the whole game.

In his world they do.

Hello hot husband:)

Learning you don't always get your way is hard.

It makes for a cute picture though.

Who took her out without a bow.

Proof that I do play with my kids.

I did chose the easiest one to play with though.

This is what her head should look like.

Her smile is awesome.

Her rolls are awesome.

Someone tell my husband that rolls are the new thing, please.

The camera was not the enemy this park trip.

Crap, he grew up again.

Make is stop please.

But stop it at a time in his life when he is really agreeable.

I make buy beautiful babies/kids.

I love this kid.

Kindergarten is a whole year away.

I tear up at the word kindergarten now.

He can never leave me.

Harper Jane is awesome.

Find me a happier and easier kid.

I dare you.

She also happens to be really stinkin cute too.

Hello awesome kid.

Easton bring my heart so much joy.

Never have I met a happier 2 yr old.

He is so tender and loving.

Everyone that knows Easton loves Easton.

****you all know I suck at grammar and all things writing related.  I'm sure my sentences make you English people cringe with discomfort.........your welcome:)****

Daddy's birthday

This year for Daddy's birthday I took the kids to the dollar store and everyone got to pick out daddy a gift....well, if we are being honest...Charlie conned me out of a $5 bill and picked out 4 things for daddy and one for him and Easton to share!  Charlie The kids had a blast doing it and it killed an hour on a very hot day!!

I loved Bradley's expressions as he opened each gift!! 

So, Charlie chose a measuing tape

and a flash light!! 

 I cannot even remember what the other 2 things were!!

Bradley let the boys blow out his candles..

and it took East quite a few tries to get them out!!

Love my boys...and my sweet girl whos hanging out in the back of the picture!!
