Mothers in MGM

May 14, 2014

First, a BIG Happy 5th Birthday to Delaney today!!  We love you Delaney!!

maxwell and delaney

Still one of my favorite pics!  🙂

Second, after breakfast on Mother’s Day, we loaded up to head down to Montgomery for the day.  I tried to snap a pic with my boys since we were all dressed up.  You’d think they’d at least cooperate with their MOTHER on MOTHER’S DAY would’t you?  Nope, not even on Mother’s Day.  This was the best we got…

Mother's Day

I’ll take it.

Side note, I honestly decided to wear the orange top and shoes because Maxwell’s favorite color is orange. When he saw me dressed he said, very excitedly, “Momma you look bee-yoo-ti-ful!!”  Yes, the orange shirt was the right decision!  🙂

We got in the car and Maxwell quickly stuck his nose in the ipad…

While Spencer stuck his nose in a book…

He didn’t last long though…

and thankfully got a little nap on the way down.

We met the Browns and the Brown Juniors at the country club for brunch.  It was a beautiful day so we let the kids run around a bit before we ate…

Jenny and I treated ourselves to mimosas…it was Mother’s Day after all!

After the kids ate a healthy lunch of french fries and waffles, we headed over to check out Jenny and Ronnie’s awesome new house.  The kids played, the adults chatted and it was great.  We then decided to all head to the pool back up at the country club.  I wish I had pics from the pool but I was too busy wrangling a VERY happy Spencer in the “zero entry” section of the incredible pool.  Maxwell was in the other section of the pool with Robert showing off his swimming skills and must have belly flopped jumped off the side 352 times.  It was such a fun afternoon!

We then loaded up the car and the boys watched the iPad almost all the way back. It ran out of battery power about 15 minutes before before we got home and, by the time we pulled into the driveway, both boys looked like this.

An exhausting day but so much fun!  So glad we got to see the Montgomery Browns for the day!

Would love to hear from you! 5 Comments

Take Me Out…

May 6, 2014

to the ballgame!

Robert took Maxwell to his first baseball game on Sunday.

Birmingham Barons v. the Mobile BayBears with great seats!

Maxwell had fun even if he decided he didn’t really like to eat Cracker Jacks.  The bag of M&Ms he got were more his style!

It was a 3:00 game which meant he skipped his nap.  After a morning playing outside and an hour at the ballpark, he looked like this on the way home…

When did he get so big?  I see many more ballgames in the future for these two!

More Easter fun

April 23, 2014

On Easter morning we had a bundle of bedheads all excited to head upstairs and see what the bunny brought!

But, we had to make them first take a pic on the stairs where Spencer tried to swipe Katie’s glasses!

We did end up with a cute one though…

We made it upstairs to find out that the Easter Bunny did indeed find us in the mountains!  Hooray!  He left quite a “super” group of gifts for the boys too – a Superman tshirt, some Superhero pi’s, some Superman and Batman books and even a reversible Superman/Batman cape! (rumor has it that the Bunny emailed GJ and Susu to get a little help in making the SUPER capes!).  The boys loved it all!

And we all loved the sunshine that finally decided to come out on Easter day!  Hooray!  We went outside and let everyone run some energy out!

After a good meal and plenty of good conversation, Robert and I loaded up our little superheroes and headed back to Birmingham.

As much fun as we had in the mountains, it was good to be home.  Robert and I tucked out tired selves into bed that night knowing  we were being safely guarded by two snoring superheroes…

Hope you all had a Happy Easter!

The boys

March 11, 2014

(Non)interesting things of late….

I finally bought a waffle maker.  Always wanted one, never had one.  I saw one on sale on Gilt and splurged $30 for a Cuisinart waffle maker.  I love it…even if Maxwell did ask for his normal “round waffles” when I tried to serve him one at breakfast.  He’ll never leggo his Eggo I guess!  I stayed up too late the past 2 nights watching True Detective.  Have you seen it?  We watched it on On Demand so crammed all 8 episodes into only a few days.  Awesome, awesome show but I’m tired!  and feeling like I need a shower after watching all the chain smoking on that show!  This daylight savings is throwing me off too – it’s still so bright out when it’s time to put the boys to bed.  I don’t like the dark mornings when I go to workout, but I sure do like the time to play outside after naps.

Today – some pics of my boys from a few weeks ago when Robert and Maxwell went to church.

Maxwell’s so excited about having his picture taken! (ha!)…

church

But we got a good one anyway!

But, throw little brother into the mix and, well…it’s never gonna work…

boys

But his face in this one sure does make me laugh!

Make it a great day!
