Playing Outside!

Jason is already enjoying the play ground. We went out today for a bit and played. He tried out EVERYTHING!!! I know he is going to master every part of it in no time!



He has not been feeling great, though. He has tubes in his ears and both are clogged. He has been having a lot of recurrent infections. Because of this, tomorrow, he is having his tubes replaced and his adenoids (throat glands) removed. Hopefully, this will make him feel so much better and prevent ear infections in the future. Please say a prayer for him that his surgery goes well and his recovery is quick and problem-free! We will keep you posted on his progress!

Memorial Day Weekend!

For the long weekend, Grandaddy, Momma Sam, Pops and Buddy and PawPaw came to help us build the greatest play ground ever!!! Jason is so excited about it. They worked all weekend with Daddy to finish it. It has a pirate tower with a lookout and stearing wheel. It has two rock climbing walls and a huge slide. There are three swings and hours and hours of fun to be had!!! This summer will be a blast! Thank you all for helping us, we are so lucky to have such great grandparents!!!!

Fun with Friends!!!

Monday, we had another play date with Ella Grace and Cambrie Joy. We went to their house to play in the water. Sara Kate had her first popcicle and she LOVED it... she ate 2!!! Jason and Ella Grace played in the water and Sara Kate and Cambrie Joy had a blast of their own. Their mother, Kym, and I just enjoyed 'adult' company and tried to catch a few rays.... We had so much fun. Both kids passed out on the way home!!! We just love our friends!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Well, since EVERY day is mother's day, this one was like every day. I went to Laura Elizabeth's baby dedication but had to leave right afterward to go to work. Steven took the kids to Momma Sam and Grandaddy's house to celebrate the day with his mother.

They had the best time and we had a nice grilled cheese dinner and watched the Red Sox when they got home. Jason loves to chant "Let's go Red Sox" and "Manny! Manny!!!" (one of the big hitters). Sara Kate is cruising around anything she can and loves to play chase with her big brother... they are so cute when they play together!!!

Getting ready for Mother's Day!

Pre Mother's Day fun started with playing outside in the baby pool, even though it was a little cool... Jason had a blast splashing Scout, while Sara Kate loved on her Daddy. Then, it was inside to paint cards for the grandmothers. Sara Kate wasn't so sure about having her hands painted, so we ended up doing her feet. Jason seems to be a pro at it now though and enjoyed painting a picture and HIMSELF after doing his handprints. We love to paint!!! (Just a hint about the above slide show, the middle arrow zooms in so you can see the pictures better and the side arrows rotate the pics!)

Pictures of my growing babes!!!

Here are the latest portraits of my babes.... Jason is 2 years old and Sara Kate is 8 months. We made the mistake of going on a saturday afternoon (note to self, never do that again!!!) We waited an hour, the kids were stir crazy and hungry and the place was packed... thankfully, we got these few good ones. I can't believe how fast they are growing!

A day at the farm!!!

Today we went to Oak Mountain Petting Farm!!! We had so much fun petting the baby goats, lambs and baby Donkey.... Jason had never seen an 'ee-hock' (peacock) and was determined to catch one.... "touch it, touch it, you hear it?!?!"
Then, when it turned and called at him, you have never seen that boy turn and run so fast and scream, "donwanit!!!!" We laughed so hard!!! Even Sara Kate got in on the action!!!

Afterward, we came home and Daddy did some work in the yard.... We went on a walk and Sara Kate 'passed out' from the events of the day while Jason tried on Daddy's saftey glasses.... What a great, beautiful day!!!
