Catching Up

The boys have been up to so much since my last post. We celebrated Easter with Clarence's family. The children had an Easter egg hunt at Aunt Sandi and Uncle William's house. Other than the chilly temperature, the day was great!

Isaac turned 5 years old on April 10th! I can't believe he's already 5; time flies so quickly! We had his birthday party at Chuck E Cheese. Everyone (even the adults) seemed to have a great time.

Flying the jet - one of his favorite games

Isaac and his friend Jackson looking at a Transformer toy he received for his birthday.

Isaac and Alex received a wonderful gift from their Granny and Granddaddy Parker - Bunkbeds! Clarence and I are very thankful to have these! Isaac was really growing out of the crib mattress on the toddler bed.

Alex was scared to climb to the top bunk until he saw his big brother do it!

Alex likes his bottom bunk though... He's quite comfortable I'd say!

Last week DLES had a Mother's Day luncheon for all of the Pre-K mothers. Thankfully I was able to leave work in order to attend. The children sang songs to all the mothers and gave us two beautiful gifts - a hand made pin and a beautiful photo and poem (this one made me cry!)!

"I Love Yooou"

The most precious Mother's Day gift ever!

That's all for now! Hope you enjoyed!

Snow Day

Isaac was so excited this morning to see snow on the ground. He couldn't wait to go outside! Alex, on the other hand, was not so sure... Here are pictures I took this morning.

It's been a while...

I know it has been a while since my last post. Nothing really exciting has been happening around here. Since Isaac returned to school after Christmas break they have been focusing on safety, and he has learned his address, his parents' names, and we're still working on his phone number. We are so proud that he is learning so much!

Alex is doing really well too. He is starting to talk more and his new favorite word is "awesome". It's so funny! I think he is saying at least one new word every day. This time in his development is so amazing!

Here are a couple of pictures that we have taken in the last month or so.

This is what happened when I didn't open the Honey Buns quickly enough...

Isaac watching TV - I'm not sure how he could tell what he was watching...

I have added the link to my friend Laura's website. She has been knitting items, and she now has them for sale on this website.

Check it out! There are some really cute hats and scarves.

Merry Christmas

Our family had a wonderful Christmas and we hope yours did too. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. It seems like we've been around the world and back and came home with a toy store!

Not quite ready to see what Santa brought...

Look what Santa brought!

This toy is so funny!

He finally did it!

We have tried to get Isaac to sit in Santa Claus's lap since he was born. Well, I guess the 5th time is the charm! Isaac was very excited to see Santa Claus this year. He told him three times the 4 things he wants for Christmas. It was so cute!

Happy Birthday Alex!

Today is Alex's 2nd Birthday. We had a fun time at Pump It Up! in Mt. Juliet. Here are some pictures from his party. His brother, Isaac, decided to help him open his gifts. This was a good thing since Alex was very distracted by playing with the Lightning McQueen that was on his birthday cake.

Time for a break...
