Montgomery

May 6, 2015

On Saturday of last weekend, we headed down to Montgomery for the day to celebrate Anna’s first communion. Robert took the boys into the church…

The cousins loved getting to see each other and it was a beautiful, sunshiny day!

We all went to lunch at the club afterward and enjoyed getting to catch up…

Mr. Maxwell

May 5, 2015

Maxwell is the best. The best. He’s such a little grown up in a kid’s body. I love to hear the things he says…One day he wanted to know something about a specific big cat and I didn’t have the answer so he told me just to go to bigcat.com and look it up! ha! He’s always telling me to “just order it off Amazon, Momma!” A few weeks ago he started telling me how to do a flower rubbing picture and I asked him where he learned that and he said from tv and then followed up with “Momma, even tv can teach you things!” So true, buddy, so true. His vocabulary is crazy. In the yard last week he asked me if something was still “viable” or not. That’s my smart boy!

Other Maxwell things lately…

Last week he got to go to a Barons baseball game with Robert…

Robert said he had a blast and was very entertained – and being very entertaining too!

I asked him that night what his favorite part of the game was and he said, “The race between the hot dog and the taco!” ha!

Maxwell also got some new shoes. His other orange and grey tennis shoes were tie and he said that Mrs. Kathy “hated” that she always had to re-tie his shoes at school so we got him some more velcro ones…

Looking sharp in his new shoes and the tshirt he got at the Barons game!

Finally, Maxwell got to take a trip to Toys R Us with Robert to spend his hard earned allowance money! After checking out all the aisles, he finally decided on this tiger rescue set-up….

He had $25 and it cost $29 so Robert told him he’d give him an advance on his allowance by 1 week so he could buy it! πŸ™‚ He took his wallet to the store and paid with his own money and everything. Cutest. thing. ever. I’m so proud of him! My sweet boy even shared the toy with Spencer when he got home…

As my mom said, “He’s a special little boy.” Yes, he is indeed.

I sure do love him.

Back to work

May 4, 2015

She works hard for the money
So hard for it, honey
She works hard for the money
So you better treat her right!

It’s back to work today…luckily I’ve got these 3 cuties and their dad that definitely treat me right!

3 heads on bed

I’ve done it before…and before that…and it still stinks. I know it’ll be fine once we all get into a new routine but that doesn’t make it any easier. I’m gonna miss these 3 faces all day!

What a week!

May 1, 2015

Y’all…this week has been a doozy. This was my last week of maternity leave and it did not disappoint! Lots of exciting things going on around here! For starters? Spencer learned to use the potty!! Go Spencer go! I just decided he was ready and went for it as I knew that this would be my last week to fully focus on him all day long. While the first day was completely exhausting for all….

he’s actually done GREAT! (with the help of a lot of M&Ms of course!) While I know he’ll have accidents and it’s still a long process, I’m honestly so happy to have the big hump behind us. He’s super proud of himself…

plus, he looks pretty cute in his big boy underwear! πŸ™‚

Other exciting things around here? New toys for Samantha…

Side note shocker – my picky eater actually liked my oatmeal more than his pancakes!

We also had a playdate where Samantha got to see her buddy Sam again!
