1 & 3 years

We finally got around to having Gunner's 1 year and Tuff's 3 year pictures made. I haven't gotten them all back yet but here is a little sneak peek...

 

 

 

Anita did a wonderful job, as usual! Can't wait to see the rest!

 

 

I plan on taking my little monkey and little dinosaur out for some treats tonight! I should have some pictures to post within the next few days. One thing is for sure, I have the cutest monkey and dino I've ever seen.

 

:)

 

Happy Halloween, friends!

Happy Friday!!!!

Wonder what we've been up to?

Tuff has been on fall break this week so he's been playing his heart out at MeMe and Papa's all week!

 

A little horse back ridin'

(the same horsey mama used to ride when she was little)

 

Reading mama bedtime stories

 

 

Playing with big brothers boots while he's away

 

 

Where was big brother...?

 

On his way to the circus with cousin Ada!

 

 

Eating peanut butter straight out of the jar and from a spoon!

(Just like his papa and mama)

 

 

Getting ready for Halloween!

 

 

Speaking of Halloween...

check out my scary skeleton!

 

 

 

Who's learned how to say "chhheeeeesseeee..."

(can't you tell?)

 

 

LOVE my sweet boys!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

Last night as me and Tuffy were laying down for bed, I could feel his hands wandering over to me. He started rubbing my face all over. Right when I was about to ask what he was doing, his fingers stopped on my lips (it was dark). He was holding his hand there so he could find my lips with his. The next thing I knew, I was getting a kiss and shortly after I heard "I love you mama!"

 

<insert melted hearted mommy>

 

It might have been the sweetest thing he's EVER done.

 

THAT is the very reason I wake up every day. I no longer live for me, I live for my babies!!!!

 

Life is good, friends!

 

Have a good weekend!!!!

:)

Pumpkin Patch

Tuff's class had a field trip to the pumpkin patch on Tuesday. I decided to brave it and take Gunner & Ada along for the ride too. Once it warmed up and everyone got some lunch in their bellies, lots of fun was had.

 

Here are some of my favorite pictures from the day...

 

 

Gunner worked really hard to get this "ball" (pumpkin) off the ground

He worked hard and he succeeded.

"I think I'll sit on it now!"

Tuff being a good big brother and helping Gunner Blake through the patch!

 

 

The twinkies checking out the ducks.

Gunner loved sticking his head through the posts to look at the ducks

 

 

Funny faces...

 

 

 

Fire truck fun

 

 

 

 

Pumpkin train riding

 

 

 

 

And here's a flashback of the boys from last year's trip...

 

 

Gunner Blake was just a few months old and snoozed through most of the patch!

Can't believe how fast my babies are growing.

I am one blessed mommy!!!

A little 'Cowboys & Angels'

This past weekend, they had a small music festival in a couple towns over from where I live. It was free, and Dustin Lynch was performing. Dustin Lynch is currently my favorite, so we loaded up and headed to see the show.... It might have been the best idea I've had in a while. I had a blast with lots of good friends and Dustin Lynch put on an awesome show!!! :) A few pictures from our night spent with Dustin Lynch...

The boys have been doing pretty good. Meme was out of town last weekend so their schedules were a little different/crazy. Tuffy really enjoyed his week with school, playing at Baba's and playing with his cousin, Jace Thomas! Gunner hung out with Papa a few times, Aunt April some, cousin Patrice one day and Baba a little bit. I think both boys were happy to see Meme back on Friday! Mama was too.

:)

 

Gunner has been a little fussy the past few days and then he started running a fever Saturday afternoon. I thought it was his teeth but that fever continued into Sunday morning. He was VERY grumpy and not eating or sleeping much so I decided we better get his ears checked out. We loaded up and headed to see the DR around lunch time yesterday. Ear infection was confirmed. What can I say? Mama's know. This is his first official ear infection since he got his tubes in June. Let's hope this isn't the start to more. :-\ He slept really well last night and woke up with no fever so I'm hoping those first few doses of antibiotic already has him on the up & up!

 

 

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

Happy Monday!

Silly Boys

Me and the boys were playing around on Saturday morning having a little photo shoot.

This is how that turned out....

 

 

 

Sure do love my silly boys!
