Weekend Getaway

This weekend Cory and I went to Amarillo for a quick getaway. We had a friend getting married and my birthday is Tuesday, so just a quick weekend without the kiddos. We had a good, relaxing time and the wedding was interesting! So all in all fun times!

This was a huge rocking chair at the Big Texan where we ate lunch...Cory said it was a big chair for a Big Momma, but I refused to get in. So he got in instead!

The wedding we went to was at someone's home in their backyard...they actually got married on the pool...it was really pretty!

Here is the happy couple, check out that cake...it looked so pretty! It was red velvet, so I didn't have any, but Cory said it was good. I am also not sure what was in the punch, but Cory had 4 glasses of it atleast!
Here is a shot of us together...I don't have many of these, so I thought I would share!

Baby Cole - 7 months

Here is Cole's 7 month shot in utero...only 9 more weeks technically, hopefully sooner!

Caden's Future Career

If Caden doesn't want to become an engineer I think I have found his other calling. He is addicted to the FOOD NETWORK! I know that it is mainly my fault, but he is hooked. I have not been off the couch much this week, so I have had the TV on more than usual. It is clean, no questionable dialog or content...so what can it hurt right! Caden loves Rachel Ray and her 30 Minute Meals and is warming up to Giada of Everyday Italian. Caden is also quite the helper in the kitchen if we let him. So watch out Food Network...your next chef could be right in my living room!

See What I Found Mom!

Carter was being rather quiet the other day, of course I wasn't watching him 100%, but I thought he and Caden were playing in their rooms. Well much to my surprise this is what I find... He was sitting on the side of my bed on the floor next to the wall, with my lipstick pouch from my purse. He had the lipstick out and was trying his best to put it on. While you may think his face doesn't look all that bad, his hands were completely brown and now check out my lipstick tube.
Caden had some lip gloss on him, but not much. I asked Caden what he was doing and he said, "it was all Carter's fault mom, he found it and brought it to me." Needless to say I was not pleased with either boy!

Lack of Blogging

I am sorry to all my loyal readers ( I know there are oh so many of you...) that I have not been blogging much lately. We have been laying low lately and the camera battery isn't working anyway. I have also been busy reading and just trying to spend time with the boys. I will hopefully be back up and running later this week...don't give up on me and stop reading!

Quick Trip and Crazy Caden!

I went to Enid yesterday with Brandy and Graydon. We wanted to go to Hobby Lobby and I had to get a new outfit for a wedding coming up. Side note, people shouldn't get married, until I am not fat and pregnant!

Here is the funny story...we stopped in at Old Navy and Caden decided if I was getting clothes, he needed something too. Well I found these really cute hoodies on clearance and let him pick one. He wanted to wear it in the store, no biggie I thought, he will take it off at the register. Then he wanted it back on. I tried to explain to him that it was almost 100 degrees outside, but he didn't care. He kept it on, zipped up, and hood on from Old Navy to Braum's, while eating ice cream, and for the entire drive home. But it gets even funnier. He wore it while playing all evening, at dinner, and although we convinced him to take it off for his bath, he quickly put it back on for bedtime. I snuck in when I went to bed to take it off of him!

Here are a couple of shots Brandy took while we were driving home! Sorry for the quality...they got distorted when I saved them on my computer?!?! Who knows, anyway, it really was hot!

The goof ball cheesing in the back seat!

We had to leave so early this AM for my blood work and Drs appt. that he didn't get a chance to see it, but as soon as we got home and he found it, he had it on! Silly boy...Cory's mom said that he used to do the same thing, so at least he acts a little like his dad once and a while:)

Worst Mother of the Year!

Okay, so go ahead and nominate me for this award, I feel like it already! We all know I am not the most compassionate mom and I am always telling the boys to quit crying and suck it up...well God taught me I need to have some compassion today, because they are still my little baby boys and they do tend to get hurt at times. I hear you, God, thanks!

The boys were out back playing this afternoon and I brought them each a cup of water then came back in. I sat something on the kitchen counter and then heard crying...normal so I didn't hurry! Caden starts banging on the back door telling me Carter feel off the porch. Again, I don't panic but go outside and find the little one crying so hard he is holding his breath and laying on his back. I pick him up and bring him in to notice this giant goose egg.
This was taken about 10 minutes after so he had calmed down and was back to his smiling self. I tried to ice it some, but he was having none of that! I gave him some Tylenol for the killer headace he probably has, and wiped the tears away! He is now playing like no big deal. Even Caden commented though..."Wow Carter that is one huge bump!"

Choo Choo!

These are the words I hear echoing through the playroom this morning! Loud and Clear! Caden has passed along his train engineering skills to Carter and they spent a great deal of time this morning building tracks and chugging trains! They were so cute playing together (and not fighting) I had to snap a few pictures!

Caden is teaching Carter how to get the trains out of the roundhouse.

Carter was so tired from chugging all the way down the track, he had to take a quick nap!
