Happy October! My brother’s having shoulder surgery today so please keep him in your thoughts. He needs to get that bum shoulder working again and staying in place!

I obviously take a LOT of pictures but there are naturally some that become favorites.  This is one of Maxwell that I love…

mbb 9 months

That was taken at the beginning of May 2011 so Maxwell was 8 months old.

This past weekend, I put those shorts on Spencer and just couldn’t resist.

This is the end of September and Spencer is 11 months old.

They really don’t look alike but they are both as sweet as can be.  Two boys sure is fun!

Would love to hear from you! 4 Comments

pumpkins and mums

September 30, 2013

Happy Monday!  Hope you all had a great weekend.  Ours was good – just still trying to get rid of all the sickness.  This Hand, Foot and Mouth disease is for the birds!  Anyway…on to happier things.

One of the blogs I read had some pretty pictures of porches all done up for fall and she said “Mums and pumpkins on porches – these are the things that “do it” for you after thirty”  Ha!  So true…at least for me!  We hit up the nursery Saturday morning to pick our pumpkins…

Maxwell helped me pick out a Momma, Dad, Maxwell and Spencey pumpkin!  He then wanted to photograph them all on the porch!

As you can see in the picture, we also got two teeny tiny pumpkins – one for Maxwell’s room and one for Spencer’s room.  Maxwell couldn’t wait to show ya-ya his pumpkin when he got up from his nap!

I just love Fall and all that comes with it!  And I love these pumpkins with my little pumpkin!

See you tomorrow!

TGIF

September 27, 2013

You know, with sickness and work and everything else, some days you just feel like this…

bad day

But, Friday makes everything better!! We’re excited for a fall weekend.  Maybe get a few pumpkins and some mums…play a little soccer…enjoy the pretty weather.  Ah, yes, weekends are good.  If you need a little something to make you smile as we head into the glorious weekend, here you go…

A little fun in the Halloween aisle at Target…

and guess who figured out how to walk with the help of this little chair?!  He was SO proud of himself!

Share and share alike

September 26, 2013

So, this one didn’t go to school yesterday…

mbb window

and probably won’t go to school Friday…

because he woke up yesterday with some mysterious spots on his leg and I think his baby brother has given him Hand, Foot & Mouth too.

Not surprising considering they’re always together…

brothers

and basically on top of each other!

And, don’t worry…

no babies were harmed in the taking of these pictures.

He caught himself before face-planting!  🙂

Here’s hoping for a mild case of the virus and healthy days ahead!

Soccer part deux

September 25, 2013

First, a big congrats to my cousin Amy and her husband Birc on their new baby, Walker, born on Monday!  Savannah is going to be the best big sis ever!!

Second, as I mentioned on Monday, soccer game 2 was MUCH better than soccer game 1.  Maxwell’s wasn’t totally 100% on board with playing the game, but he was about 75% and that’s great with me!  We got new jerseys – go Team Blue! – and everything was organized much better than last time.  Robert got the kids out there and even got them doing some drills…

Love these balls in the air!

He even got them going with a little Red Light, Green Light action!

Maxwell kept holding his hands behind his back like this while practicing…so funny.  Guess he was serious about not using his hands!

Spencey was just chillin’ and enjoyed the day like this…

Once the game started, Maxwell wasn’t quite so sure he wanted to play.  But, with a little convincing I got him out there…

Then, with a little more convincing I got him out there again…

and then (with a small assist from his hands!)…

he got that ball down the field…

and scored a GOAL!  Go Maxwell go!

Overall it was a great day.  Good coaching, the shady side of the field and a win for Team Blue (not that anyone’s keeping score!)  🙂

And, PS, bags of grapes are no better than orange slices.  Kids will still go for the goldfish instead!

See you tomorrow!
