These boys are changing EVERY day!!! Just a couple of months ago, I thought Zachary was going to try and “divorce” me and find a new mommy…he was just plain ornery to me…EVERY day! He’s turned a new leaf and is this little angel I met over 4 years ago!!!

Here we are heading to school and he says to me, “Mom. You smell something? Something stinks.” Yes, we smell something EVERY day!

The twins are running ALL over the place, communicating more and more, picking up new words, can tell you where we are when we are out and about (know the street that Zach’s school is on…they will say, “Zach. SSSHHHHCool!”. They are little buddies and Zachary is really loving having brothers to play with instead of take attention away from him!

Zachary is taking swimming lessons 2 times per week and is a little fish!

Trevor is a stinker…he has a temper…if he doesn’t get what he wants, he has the old “kick the dog” syndrome…but he is also very sweet and loves to cuddle up and watch Elmo on the couch!

They are getting more and more irritated with high chairs…eating some chicken legs at the table (you can see Brandon’s hand on his chest…he coughed and was patting himself…they both do this…if they fall, fart, cough, trip, cry…the pat themselves…I guess I do that a lot!!)

Brandon is a little sweetie these days…he loves to cuddle, loves on mama and sleeps so good…he is always happy and loves to dance!! He’s my little shy guy (completely opposite of Trevor & Zachary)…

I’m just loving enjoying these little guys every day…sure, some days are more challenging than others, but they are a delight…I love seeing them first thing in the morning…all of them fighting for that first hug, kiss, sniff…they fill my heart…

They LOVE blankies…LOVE them. I love watching them grab one and sniff the corner and just kick back!

Spiderman is in the house!!!!

We went to a birthday party…Trevor was the unlucky one to be suffering from hand, foot and mouth, so he stayed home and we took the little blue eyed boys!!

All the boys were fighting a bug, so we took the cushions off the couch and built a fort and turned on some music and released some energy!!!

It’s nasty cold and flu season…last year, we were a LOT sicker…the twins needed tubes…with that done and out of the way, we had have a relatively “slow sick season”…minus these past two weeks…poor little Zachary had it the worst…a nasty cough for almost 2 weeks…but he’s back up and at ‘em…

This guy loves to blow kisses!

There the sweet boys are…yep, I’m in love!!! With their daddy AND them…I’m a lucky girl!

My Little Artist…

I got an email a few weeks back from Zachary’s teacher telling me that Zachary had drawn a blue HotWheels and his drawing was selected for a local competition at Monument Books! How cool!!! We were very proud of him and took him to see his drawing and vote for it (doesn’t each brother get a vote as well??? that IS fair!)…he was proud to show it off and later in the week, Monument Books hosted a little party for everyone who was selected and lucky parents were asked to join them AT the toy section of the book store!~ Hmmmmmm!!! We don’t know who won yet, but we had fun celebrating!

Since they were serving desserts, I had to make a special cake for Zachary to enjoy with all of the “winners”!!! He got to enjoy a bit the night before!

Love this little buddy of mine!!!

Party Time!

We’ve had a busy week of Grand Openings, Business Anniversaries and good friends celebrating an anniversary in a big way!!! I felt like I was running all week, trying to get here and there and read to Zach’s class, bake an eggless treat, attend a field trip to the toy store/book store and fit everything else in! I did it and I had fun…I mean, when was the last time I took a shower before dropping Zach off at school and put on some slacks, heels AND make up? Um, never.

The kids had fun dressing up (Zachary was in HEAVEN in his dressy Spidey shirt with jacket on top…in fact, we had QUITE the argument prior to the party because he wanted Spiderman over the top of the coat…which defeats the purpose of the coat, but he just couldn’t decide which was better…a Spiderman dress up shirt or a suit jacket…so he wore it the correct way, with the jacket opened up on the side so ANYONE could see he had Spiderman on his shirt!)

It was an anniversary/birthday party…adults and kids were there to have fun!!!
