Happy Father's Day!

My sweet boys on Father's Day. Noah and Wesley are very lucky boys to have such an awesome daddy.

Wesley's great grandma meeting him for the first time. He instantly fell asleep on her! It was adorable.
Noah chatting with his great grandma. It looks more like he's trying to scare her. :)
My grandma and grandpa (mom's parents) adoring Wesley on Father's Day. I was so glad they got to see him before he gets too big!

Catching up..............

Sorry pictures have been delayed lately. We've been working through strep, mastitus, strep-butt (strep infection on Wesley's butt), insane diaper rash, and acid reflux. Things have been rough! But not rough enough to keep from taking some dang cute pictures. :) Check em' out.

Our little soccer stud!

This is a cool soccer outfit passed down to Noah from his cousin, Payton. He LOVES to wear this. He can't wait to play soccer and baseball on a team when he gets bigger. :)

A much needed visit from Mee-Mah

Priceless.

Bath time with the boys!!

WHOA! A little cross-eyed here.

Happy Memorial Day!

We hope you all are having a wonderful Memorial Day weekend. Here are some more pics of the boys. Brian scanned these in so they aren't as clear as digital ones........but good enough. :)Remember to pray for our soldiers and their families this weekend and thank God for all those who have risked their lives to protect us and this country. It's so easy to forget how blessed we really are.

Two weeks old today!

Well, we just returned home from Wesley's 2 week checkup. He's gained a hearty amount of weight and now is 9lb 3oz (exactly Noah's birth weight at 40 weeks). Yesterday was Wesley's actual due date. He is looking great and it's hard to believe that 2 weeks from this very moment, I was in the operating room having him removed from my stomach. It's so strange. That really seems like yesterday.........I can't believe how fast the time is flying. I know that I'll blink and he'll be 6 months old. But I thank the Lord that this transition has been smooth and filled with so much joy. Noah is such a sweetie and I don't know where I'd be without all his help. I marvel at him daily as he approaches the big 3. All is well in mommyhood!

Week two!

Well, we're on to week 2 and things are going fairly smoothly. Wesley and I both are due for our 2 week check ups on Friday. He is already looking bigger to me. I'm anxious to see how much he weighs now. Wes is a really sweet boy and is very alert.........just like his brother was. He has two or three periods a day where he is awake for 1.5 to 2 hours each. Many think this is unusual for a 12 day old, but it is right on par with how Noah was. He is a great night time sleeper which has been awesome. Brian has been taking one of the feedings (hooray!) which tend to be either midnight or 3am. Not bad. Noah ADORES Wesley and truly hasn't shown a jealous bone yet. He kisses on him and just looks enamored with him. What a blessing! I really feel like I've been given the 2 sweetest boys in the world! Thank you God.

Who is this guy? What is my brother doing with a doll?
Sweet angel.
Noah serenading Wesley to sleep.

Slightly bug-eyed in this one, but oh so cute.

Easter Fun!

Noah's reaction to finding his Easter basket.
Total cheeseball.

Absolute doll in his Easter garb. I love this picture.

Noah's debut on Anna & Olivia Spivey's trampoline. He could not get enough!


LOVE THIS PICTURE. Check out the boy's hair. The static is unbelieveable.

Noah practicing his upcoming big brother skills on little Caroline. As you can tell by her stare, I think she adores Noah. I know that Noah adores her!!

The happy family of 3. Soon to be 4!! Ahhhh. This was at the Forest Ridge train in Fort Worth right by the zoo. If you have never been, you need to go. Little boys just love it!

Noah gardening with Mommy. We had a lot of fun. Now our basil seeds are actually growing!

Car Talk with Noah

It went like this.

Silence in the car on the way to school. Then............

Noah: I’m bigger.
Me: Yes, you are getting bigger.
Noah: I’m taller.
Me: Yes, you are getting taller.
Noah: I want to sit there (pointing to the front passenger seat).
Me: Smile. No, you aren’t big enough to sit there.
Noah: But I’m big.
Me: Yes, but you have to be like, 7 years old to sit there. You are only 2.
Noah: Yes, I’m 2!
Silence.....
Noah: I want to be 22!
Me: What? 22?
Noah: Yep, I want to be 22.
Me: No way. If you were 22, that would mean you were an adult. Being a kid is much more fun.
Noah: I’m a kid!?
Me: Yes, you are a kid.
Noah: No, I’m Noah!

Ahhhhhhhhhh, conversations with my little guy. They make me smile.

My handsome boy

Seriously???? Who is supposed to resist this boy? Certainly not his mama. :) This is his school picture. What a little ham. He and his girl-friend Randy like to team up and be the most irresistable kids ever. I am pretty sure he got this pose idea from her considering he had to watch all his friends take their pictures before he would go (so the teachers told us). Anyway, his sweetness is altogether real and today we had the best day together. He kills me with how perfect he can be sometimes. Yes, I know. All it takes is reading a few posts ago to understand that this is clearly a momentary fog I'm in. But I don't care. Days like today make the hard days worth it. I got lots of hugs, good talks, mostly obedience, and he ate everything I made for him. What more could a girl want? It's killing me that he's growing up so much. It's so fun, but then it freaks me out that I'm going to have to start ALL OVER in a mere few months. Can't say I'm ready for that. I suppose the first few months with the newborn sweetness prep you for what is to come. I'll just take one day at a time................sounds good anyway.

But to sum it up, Noah is a true Valentine this year for me and I love where we are in our mommy-son relationship. May it never end!
