Little Artists

I'm always so amazed at the my little guys' artwork! When I asked Stratton to tell me about his picture, he pointed out that the green box in the middle was "one BILLION dollars".....Thanks Obama for making my 5 year old numb to the "B" word.... The second piece is the life cycle of a butterfly using pasta....who in the world thinks of these projects? And the final piece is one of the first Bible verses that Sharpe learned.....I think his version was God made the cows...Genesis 1:27. The other verse he learned that week was "God made the flowers. Genesis 1:11." Oh, how he warms my heart quoting scripture!

Playing in the Rain

100% little boy.....

Slay's First Taste of Cereal

Well, we're three for three on the cereal....none of 'em liked it the first time around....

Photos on the Square

We got all dolled up for "professional" photos at TreeHouse Toys, but thought while the boys were dressed (and at least STARTED the day in a good mood), we would snap a few extra photos on the square. The two individual photos of Stratton and Sharpe are at the end of the "photo shoot". Their faces tell it all......

Learning to pop wheelies

Oh so typical at our house..... tears included.

Golf Outing

What an hour! Brandon took Stratton, Sharpe and Matthew (our neighbor) to the driving range. Suprisingly, the boys did really well. Slay just watched, but it won't be long until he can reek havoc on the golf course, too!

NOBC Band Practice

Yes, we even take the boys to Praise Team Practice....they love getting to run and jump and all while listening to worship music.

Book Reading

We are so proud to have Mrs. Julie Cantrell as our next door neighbor. She is a great cook and a great writer. She recently published her first 2 books entitled, "God is With Me Through the Night" and "God is With Me Through the Day." She had a book signing March 7th here in Oxford at Peas and Carrots. As you can see, my boys were front and center!

Snow 2009

I made the comment Saturday night that I would love for it to snow so the boys could see it and play in it! Well, be careful what you wish for! Imagine my surprise when I woke up at 4 a.m. to see it snowing!









We couldn't wait to wake up the boys...but first, we had to dig out some cold weather clothes....of which we had little to choose from! The boys had a ball. I went out mostly just to snap some photos, but did take one ride down the hill with Stratton on a garbage can top....It was quite a sight! And this is our neighbor, Adam with Elle!

















Sharpe wasn't much on riding down the hill, but did enjoy just walking around and being cute....until he fell.....

Latest Artwork

Gotta love when kids are asked to fill in the blank.....Sharpe says sheeps eat pizza and Stratton notes that he wants to be a coach!

Bowling Birthday Party

Another Saturday spent singing "Happy Birthday to you....". This time we went to the bowling alley. The boys have never been bowling, so this was an adventure. As usual, we had to "force" Stratton to play and Sharpe jumped right in! Fun fun!

What Are You Looking For?

"Shorts....Like Stwatton's"...... (Mom just sighs and finds a pair)

My Little Helper

Guess I should have blogged this before the photos of our birthday party at our house.....and YES that is a photo of Sharpe LICKING the beater....Isn't that the best part of cooking? Anyone notice that after Sharpe and I made the cake batter.....well, Daddy came right behind us to make sure it was done correctly.......all in love.
