Fun Family Visitors

While Kevin went to Vegas we were very fortunate to have some out of town visitors. My parents were at a convention at Opryland and then stayed an extra 2 days at my house. Katie and her boys were on spring break and came to Nashville for a couple of days mid-week. My boys loved having some fun cousin play time and also thoroughly enjoyed being spoiled by Bet Bet and Snacks ... and let's be serious, I really enjoyed being spoiled by Bet Bet and Snacks :) Thanks for coming for a visit ... it always does our souls well to be with you!!

Story time with Bet Bet

I took Wils and Brantley to Graham's school for lunch ... his smile when he saw them was priceless :)

The Madness has begun!!!

Kevin turns into a little boy on Christmas morning every March ... especially on Selection Sunday. He is so giddy right now!!! And it helps that Vandy won the SEC championship today and got a #5 seed in the NCAA tourney. He's heading out for a guy's trip to Vegas on Wednesday and will be watching an ungodly amount of basketball. Graham has turned into a pretty hardcore Vandy fan, too. He told me tonight as I was putting him to bed that John Jenkins is his favorite Vandy player and that Jeffrey Taylor is his second favorite :) GO DORES!!!!!!!!!

Luke is excited that Memphis made the tourney too!!

Silly Boys

I went to check on Luke and Carter before I went to bed last night and this is how I found them :)

Happy Half Birthday

Luke and Carter are officially 2 1/2 today!! We all celebrated after dinner by eating a half of a cupcake :) Graham knows that he will be 4 1/2 soon, and after the cupcakes he asked if we could celebrate his half birthday, too!! Life with two 2-year-olds is a bit interesting ... i could definitely do without a double dose of the tantrums, but one of my favorite things about 2 year olds is what comes out of their mouths and with having twins, it's so fun to listen in on their conversations with each other. Yesterday, Luke and I went into get Carter up from his nap and Luke bent down low and got in Carter's face and said, "Hey Baby, take a good nap?" As much as they exhaust me, I just love that they are still so stinking cute!!!

Carter looks so concerned that Luke's cupcake fell over

TN Aquarium

We took a day trip to Chattanooga to check out the TN Aquarium. Our dear friends, Stephanie and Hart Knight, invited a crew and everyone had a blast. We saw lots of fish, stingrays, sharks, and most excitedly penguins!! After a good lunch of mexican food and exhausting the boys we anticipated an easy ride home with naps all around .... BUT not only did we get to visit the aquarium in Chattanooga, we also got to visit the ER in Chattanooga. Carter fell on the stroller and bit through his bottom lip ... poor baby. Got him all fixed up and finally made it home about 3 hours later than expected. A very fun and exhausting day ... pretty much sums up my life these days :) Boys, boys, boys ... well, my crazy boys, anyway!!

Obsessed Much

Carter has become OBSESSED with Woody from Toy Story. He is almost never without his Woody hat and Woody dolls. About 10 days ago, I started napping Luke and Carter in separate rooms and to appease Carter by not having Luke in the room with him, I told him he could sleep with Woody (I normally don't allow toys in their room because it tends to cause fighting and sometimes even injury) ... worked wonders!!! When he has to put them down to eat or bathe, he tends to freak out if he thinks someone else is going to get them ... a frequent phrase is, "No Lukey get 'em" He is such a funny little boy!!!

Who loves Woody?!?!?!

Remember this pic ... maybe I should have known then that he would develop a deep love for a little cowboy :)
