A day at the mall

Last week we went to Cool Springs mall for a little shopping. We used to go all the time when Caleb was little just to walk around and let him play in the play area but we never do it anymore. Now that we have Ace too it seems like more trouble than it's worth to go in public places because they want to run around EVERYWHERE and pick up EVERYTHING off of shelves and all this leads to tantrums and ahhh....I am worn out just thinking about it!

I was always one of those people who saw kids acting up in grocery stores and promised that MY kids would NEVER act like that. I am sorry to all of those Mom's out there that I thought you just could not control your kids. I literally do not take the boys anywhere anymore , especially by myself. I am now one of those Mom's that other people are talking about. Don't get me wrong, our boys are very good boys but there is something about public places that bring out the tantrums.

We felt brave last weekend and thought we would give it another try and it ended up just like all the other times. We might try it again in a year....maybe.

As soon as we walked into the mall the boys just were overwhelmed....it was so funny. Ace had never seen a mannequin before and he was so excited! He ran up to all of them as fast as he could screaming "man, man". I guess that would be strange to him....I wonder what he thought they were?? I had to catch it all on video because it was just too funny not to share.

Boys, we promise to try and get you out more often......

This is my life....and I would not change it for the world!!

Happy Birthday Jamie!

We hope you had a wonderful birthday! All the fun started last night at Jeff & Courtney's and carried on into tonight with more family and great food!

Every year Jamie request the same thing....a "real" strawberry cake and enchiladas and every year the cakes turns out crooked and the icing thin. Can someone please tell me how to make thick icing????

Caleb was so excited to help make the cake and he did a GREAT job. He is turning into a little chef. (just like his Daddy) Jamie's Mom, brother and sister came over tonight to help us celebrate his big day.

Happy Birthday babe! We love you SO MUCH!!

Sweet Boys

We took the boys to the Red Caboose Park today and they had a blast. This is Caleb's favorite place to be and soon to be Ace's too, I'm sure. It seems like we have all been sick so much lately with ear infections, bronchitis and runny noses that the boys enjoyed just being able to run and play outside.

I look at these pictures and just can not believe how big they are getting. Where are my babies??

I promise they really do love each other! I try all the time to get a good picture of the two of them together and every time Ace starts crying..but I LOVE this picture anyway!

Happy Valentine's Day!

What a beautiful day...after church we came home, ate some breakfast, opened all the windows and headed outside for a day full of fun! The boys were so excited to be playing outside again. We are so proud of Caleb for being such a great big brother! He is so good with Ace and wants to show him how to do everything....and Ace wants to be just like Caleb.

Caleb was showing his little brother how to cut the grass...

how to play ball.....

how to ride his motorcycle...

Ace, you are the luckiest little boy ever to have such an awesome big brother!! I hope you always enjoy each other like you do now!
