Bathroom Pics

I've been meaning to post pics of our bathroom for a while now ... so here they are. We are loving it!!

Now that's a shower ... all 3 boys LOVE to bathe in there :)

Happenings

Ok, so here it is ... my first post on my new iMac. I'm not going to lie, it wasn't as easy as I hoped. It's definitely different from a PC ... I know I'll get used to it but it will take some time. And I tried and tried to upload another picture that Kevin sent me in an email, but I couldn't figure it out. Anyway, we've had a nice relief in the squelchering heat and have spent long afternoons outside. Kev called me from work yesterday and said he couldn't take it anymore and just had to get to Omaha for the College World Series, so he booked a 6 a.m. flight out this morning and arrives back home at 11:50 tonight. Vandy lost today :( but he had a great time!! Poor Graham has been making me sad at bedtime lately ... he keeps telling me that he wants someone to sleep with him. He says that Luke and Carter get to sleep together and Daddy and Mommy get to sleep together but no one sleeps with him :( I feel bad for him but not enough to remedy the situation. I told him that maybe when he's 6 and L&C are 4 we can talk about them all sharing a room ... I'm sure by then he'll want to have his own room!!

Loving the slip-n-slide

"Whoa that water is cold" says Carter

I taught Graham how to play War this week ... he LOVES it when we have a battle (even more when he wins) and his favorite card is definitely the joker :)

Slacker

I've been a blog slacker lately ... it's partly due to not having anything blog-worthy to post, my struggle with Graham not staying in his room for rest time very well since summer began which means VERY little "me time" during the day and by night time I am incredibly exhausted and do not feel like updating, and Kevin gave me a new iMac computer for my birthday ... yes, VERY exciting but also a bit intimidating. I haven't even tried uploading pictures to it yet ... again a combination of not taking any pics and me being too tired to get on the computer and learn it. I'll get there (don't worry, Katie). My goal this week is to take some cute pics of the boys, upload them on my new computer, maybe even do some editing in iPhoto, and post ... I'm sure you will all be waiting with bated breath :)

Memorial Week in Sea Island

Sea Island, GA is definitely a little slice of heaven. It doesn't hurt that I'm spoiled rotten while there with great weather, yummy food, action-packed activities and constant companions for my kids, sisters-in-law who are all about getting sitters so that it's actually a vacation for us mommies, fabulous golf for our men, and I really could go on and on. My parents are insanely generous and go all out to make our week together so wonderful ... thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Snacks seriously makes Luke giddy :)

Luuu and Car-Car

Boy do these little guys love each other :) Luuu and Car-Car are the names that they call each other and all they seem to do is laugh together!! I got a rare treat ... a 25 hour break from Graham (Jackson's family took him with them down to visit my grandfather in Clanton, AL ... again, I can't say thank you enough) and some true alone time with just my little guys. We had time to read lots of books, extra snuggle time, and they even got to play in Graham's room ... shhh, don't tell Graham. I know I've said it before, but I truly feel blessed to have twins!!!!

Under Siege

I feel like my yard is under siege with all of the cicadas here in Nashville right now. Graham loves them and Luke and Carter like to find them and say "bug" but one time Luke touched one and its wings fluttered and he was beyond petrified. They really are EVERYWHERE and are SO loud in the afternoons ... I'm not going to lie, I don't think I'm going to miss them over the next 13 years :)

And he's off ...

Graham is learning to ride his bike without training wheels!!! He had a cheering section with Jake and Evie here ... they all had a sleepover last night -Jake slept with Graham in his bed :) We all had a blast, however Kevin and I did decide that we're not sure 5 kids is for us :)
