Late night shenanigans...

Lately the boys have been sleeping with me in the master bed while poor Edward's been sleeping downstairs on an air-mattress.  The other night Reese's knee was sticking out of the covers, and it must have looked a lot like a boobie to Hayden, cuz with his eye on the prize he catipillar scooted over to it and latched on.  Made me laugh. I rewarded all his hard work efforts with the real stuff ; )

Good Manners

This weekend Reese perfected the art of saying Thank you.  Every-time I'd hand him something, open a door, give him a kiss, I'd hear "Dank uuu!"  It is super sweet and melts my heart, but I was kind of at a loss as to how he'd learned it since we've never prompted him to say it.  He hasn't been to daycare in over a month (Kara -my friend who watches him occasionally for me on Mondays- taught him the rules of time-out, and I will forever be grateful to her.  Now whenever Reese gets into trouble he runs over and slides into his time out spot like it's home plate and won't budge till I give him the OK. It's marvelous.) But I began to notice how often I say "Thank you" to him, and it's quite a bit! So maybe, just maybe...he picked it up all on his own from our example, a thought that is both exciting and intimidating at the same time. I hope we've got our game on in other areas as well!

Pool Party!

We had a summer pool party for the Faith in God Girls on Tues, and then a RS pool party today.  Some sweet ladies were willing to watch Hayden while I swam with Reese both times. He had a blast!

Sunscreen on and ready to go...

 My visiting teaching partner Dani has two boys just a year or so older than my boys.

Reese loves playing with Drey!   

Rocket ship =)

Fathers Day!

Edward was selected to appear in the Walmart World Father's Day Special.

We are very proud of him.  He has such a good work ethic and never complains about putting in long hours, and then when he comes home the first thing he does is get down on the floor and play with the boys for an hour.  

He is such a good Dad and we love him so much!  

We sure love Daddy!
