Good Laughs, Good Times

I'm not good at updating here lately...but today I was going through some stuff on my phone and couldn't quit laughing at what all I found.  We have some pretty funny moments around here these days.  

She loves getting dressed up in my heels and standing in front of this mirror while singing, "Standin' in the Need of Prayer."  Only that particular song in that particular spot.  Don't know why.

Will was over visiting the other night while his Mommy and Daddy were out doing something and he and Kate got into her little jewelry box.  Kate had Will blingin'.  I'm saving this one for his rehearsal dinner. 

I went in to get John up from his nap one day and found him like this.  For some reason he managed to get one sleeve off.  

Matthew did not want to go to bed this night despite many concerted efforts on our part.  We finally caved and brought him out to play some more.  I think he was a little delirious.  He could not stop laughing!

Sweet little girl getting ready for church...

...and school

This was the day Matthew was sick with the stomach bug.  He was throwing up and couldn't seem to figure out why he felt bad or what was happening.  He would get up to play every couple minutes then grab his blankie and lay back down on the floor.  Poor little guy :(

Matthew again.  He has decided he likes taking off his clothes (usually pants) when he's napping.  I fear he might turn into a poopie painter.

Matthew always takes off his right shoe and sock.  Only the right shoe and sock, not the left.  It never fails.  If I put him in the car with both shoes on, the right one is off before I can even get out the driveway, and usually thrown somewhere in the car where I can't find it or easily get to it.  I have started just putting on the left shoe and leaving the right one off up in the front with me until I can get him out and know he will be out running around somewhere.  They both still like to suck on their 2 fingers when they are tired...like he is here. :)

This is John with his blankie.  Kelly bought both the boys these blankies when they were born.  We have always kept them in their cribs with them.  They have just recently gotten super attached to them.  They drag them around the house everywhere.  So cute :)

Matthew's "language"

Kate out in the woods w/ her Daddy

A common scenario around here..John and Kate playing together while Matthew wanders around in his own little world.  


Kate has been saying some really funny things lately.  Tonight about 30 minutes after I put her to bed I heard her hollering, "Mama I need to peepee!"  I went up there and put her on the potty, and she looked up at me and said, "I was lying on my back and the pee-pee was asleep."  ??  Maybe she was half asleep, I don't know?!  Last night I had her and Matthew in the bath tub together when Matthew stood up and started pee-peeing right there in the tub.  She shouted, "Mama he's pee-peeing!!!"  Then the tears started coming..."Ahhhhh I don't want the pee-pee to get on me!!"  Oh my goodness...these kids keep us laughing so hard around here.

Kate's 3, Border Bash, Fun Fall Times, & Yes, We're Still Here...

We have had a busy Fall season!  Finally getting around to posting some pictures of our recent adventures....

I cannot believe this sweet girl is 3.  Birthday morning pancakes and wishes!

Happy Birthday to Kate!

Sweet friends


Cinderella dancing with Daddy :')

We had a great time visiting with some really special friends over Border Bash Weekend.  We had a full house and it got a little rowdy at times, but what fun to watch all these little guys play together!  I mean, so what if it was one of the most horrible UGA losses I can remember?!  It really helped soften the blow to be in such good company that evening.  Can't wait to do it again next year, y'all!

Love this time of year!  It always goes by so quick, and before I know it, it's time to get the tree out again!  Hope everyone has had a Happy Fall!

Lake Keowee

We spent this past weekend with my mom's side of the family at Lake Keowee in South Carolina.  Lori's boss owns a home there and gave her a full week to spend.  Since it was large enough to host all of us, Lori and Brian kindly invited us all to tag along.  We had such a fabulous weekend at this beautiful place!  The weather was awesome!

This is Matthew the last 15 minutes or so of our trip there.  The first two hours and fifteen minutes he screamed.  The. Whole. Time.
























Thank you for inviting us, Lori and Brian!  We had a great weekend!
