thumb sucker

I shouldn't be shocked....I got a good forewarning! I pushed and pushed a pacie but after 7 different name brands little Brooks had the finally word....The thumb it is! I must admit...I Love the fact that he's a thumb sucker. His daddy was a thumb sucker and is very proud that one child of his has chosen to such their thumb. It's So SWEET!!! I especially LOVE when he rest his pointer finger on his little nose!
He sucks his right thumb but uses his left hand to get his right up to his mouth!

weekend trip to AR

On Friday we packed up our little family and headed to Arkansas for a weekend of celebrating Sarabeth and Payton! First stop was visiting their very first home!! It so just perfect!!! It also has an amazing back yard! Not much longer until the BIG DAY!
Next stop was to walk around Harding campus. I must say Harding has the prettiest campus I've ever seen! There are beautiful flowers everywhere!
Ya never know...one of these littles may be here one day!
Beebs is such a wonderful aunt!!
Take a looksie at those HUGE azaleas!  Seriously TALLER than we were!!!
We then met up with Paytons family and walked around Little Rock! It's a very neat city! River Front is especially fun!







One of the cool things about Little Rock is its Trolly's! Madelyn thought we were saying "Charlies" so all of us started calling them "Charlies! They reminded me of Mr. Rogers.
There was a Blues fesitval going on downtown so the Trollys were pretty busy! We were very entertained by a lady who ended up standing right beside the seat that Nino and I were sitting in. Nino was holding baby Brooks. The lady was hanging on to one of the hand loops from the ceiling. She said "I'm glad I shaved my armpits for a reason!"....her other quote that had us rolling was...."Better HOLD on what ya GOT!" She said this MANY MANY times! Basically every time the trolly took a turn or stopped! 

Murphy found a little buddy on the trolly who had the children entertained for at least 20 mins!

After getting off Madelyn asked "Are we back in AR?" funny little gal!
On Sunday we went to Paytons home church. They had a wonderful shower that afternoon and got lots of wonderful gifts! They are very loved!

This is Paytons youngest sister, Riley. She's so sweet!
On the way home we stopped and got gas. Right beside the gas station was Trains. Murphy LOVED them!

lets go fly a kite!

Shane and I decided it would be a good idea to go to the park and have a picnic and fly a kite! Madelyn talks about having a picnic all the time. It's one of her favorite things to do!!
Brooks even enjoyed being outside! He just sat and watched and listened to everything going on! He never even made a whimper!! He is such an easy going baby!!!
Look at that sweet darling boy!!
Madelyn had a blast with her kite!! She ran all over the place!!!
Shane and Murphy were on a mission to get their kite high into the air
...sadly it never really worked out...

After a while Murphy decided to start picking "flowers" for his mommy. Raising a true gentlemen!!
 I love this sweet big boy!!
Then he made another attempt at the kite!!


These 2 are so funny! They love to get onto the ground and just waller everywhere!! 
They laugh and laugh!!


I absolutely LOVE this picture of Shane and his children!! He is crazy over these kids and boy are they crazy about him! He almost gets pushed over everyday when he comes home from work!!
 It's so adorable to watch!
Me and my darling babes.
