Wonderful Week

We have had a great week. The warm weather has been just wonderful. The boys have loved playing outside at school and at home. Everyday when I picked the kids up from school, this is what Trent looked like:


Thanks, Grana, for the new white t-shirt. It was cute while it lasted!

Zachary decided it was time for a shaving this week. I loved that brother was the "mirror holder".


Zachary and Brandon had their first tball practice last night. I didn't get any pictures of them before they left, but the sight of Zachary's tiny hiney in his baseball pants makes me smile!

We are headed off for a fun weekend. Lots of pictures to come.

Compliment the Cook

This is just about the greatest compliment I've ever received on my cooking...

New 'do

I couldn't take the long, cool boy hair any longer. It was really cute when he would allow me to fix it, but that wasn't his favorite thing!

Before:

After:




The first words out of his mouth this morning were, "It won't be hard to fix my hair this morning!"

I'm holding out on baby brother's long hair. Not ready for him to look like a big boy!

Texas Week

**See bottom of post for day two pictures

Day one:

I loved how Trent hugged up to his brother when I told them to get together for a picture.

Putting cowboy gear on your body makes you gallop

I took a picture of Trent with Ms. Sherri, but I promised her I wouldn't put her pic on my blog. I had to crop him out and put him on here though. Do you see a kid who is working his teacher???


Day two:

Cutie pie!

Taking the rope today to show off his skills!

Now that is some serious bucking!!

This cowboy needs a hair brushin'!

(Please notice the gun and holster on his hip.)

Day three:

Excitement died down a little bit for the last day of Texas week, but we are still sporting jeans and boots!

Can we fix it??

Yes, WE CAN!

We took the boys to Texarkana last night to see Bob the Builder Live. I honestly thought that Zachary was a little old for it and might get bored, but they both loved it!


Displaying the toys that Daddy bought them. He is such a SUCKER!

When we got in the car, Zachary said that he wished he had gotten to shake Bob's hand. I said, "Would you have told him that you dedicated 2 years of your life to loving him?"

Trent piped up and said, "I've been watching him my WHOLE life!"

All 2 1/2 years...
