Say cheese!

June 4, 2013

I’ve talked about this before but here goes again.  Maxwell’s camera face is just hilarious…and frustrating!  Whenever I want to take his picture, he always gives me this “cheeeeese” smile….

Goodness gracious.  Or worse yet, I get this…

or even this…

Which is saying “Momma, I really don’t want my picture taken right now and I’m just going to sorta open my mouth in the shape of a smile but not be happy about it.”  I know all he wants to do is play with his trucks..

But, I can’t help always wanting to take his picture.  And while the pouty face can definitely be cute…

Most definitely…

all I’m looking for is a happy, natural smile…

Just maybe with eyes open!

There it is!  Hooray!  🙂  This kid’s a good sport to put up with the mama-razzi!

Twinkies!

May 31, 2013

Ok, ok, ok.  Let’s face it – it’s gonna happen a lot.  I will dress them as twinkies until they’re old enough to protest!

And this is the only time I’ve ever thought they looked alike…

Guess they can make the same silly face!  Love these sweet brothers.

May 30, 2013

What?  You act like you’ve never seen a zebra that was carved out of a tree trunk in someone’s front yard?

Weekend recap

May 29, 2013

I love long weekends.  Especially long weekends where we have no real plans and just stay home.  We had a great holiday weekend just laying low.  What did we do?  Well…

On Friday afternoon, I got the boys all ready to go to the pool for the first time this year!  They were so excited they just sat there with their mouths hanging open…

ha! and, yes, I totally dressed them alike again.  I can’t help it.

My parents got an apartment in Birmingham and we’re able to use the pool up there.  Hooray!  We had a great time..

Even Spencey loved kicking his feet in the water!

Robert met us up at the pool and then we went out to dinner.  By the time we got to the restaurant, Spencey looked like this..

I guess all the kicking wore him out!

Saturday, after a little extra snuggle time in our pj’s…

we got to hit up another pool – this time for a birthday party!  It was Maxwell’s friend Chiles’ 3rd birthday and everyone splish splashed to wish her well!

I’m pretty sure Maxwell’s favorite part of the party was the cupcake..

They were pretty good!  Olexa’s!  yum.  The rest of the day was filled with a good nap and a fun dinner out at The Club.

Sunday morning Robert went to play golf so the boys and I had some bagels in the morning…

Then we watered the plants…

The day ended with a trip to Target to get some new pool toys…

Can’t wait to use those noodles this week!

So, that was our weekend.  Don’t be jealous of our exciting life.  🙂
