Dad and Me

I've been trying to take more pics of Sanders with Matt lately.  Matt is a wonderful father...it amazes me how he can get up and go to work early and then come home and be in daddy mode- Sanders absolutely LOVES him.  They rough house together and the giggles from Sanders are ones I wish I could "freeze in time." Seeing the two of them together makes me so...happy! I know I am blessed to have such an amazing husband, who shares with me the responsibility of raising children!!

Reading Splash Splash- the book of choice for that particular week.

Fountain- FREE fun!

Blowing out candles for Matt's 31st

Sanders 15 Months

Where is the time going?  I haven't been able to blog because 1. I couldn't find the cord to plug the camera into the computer and 2. I have been trying to spend time playing, laughing, loving, playing more and laughing more with Sanders before Shephard and Sawyer arrive.  The hot summer days have been jam-packed with fun things to do.  We have fed the ducks in Fairhope, gone to the park in Daphne, treated ourselves to snow cones at Eskimos (he likes the blue cotton candy flavor...maybe because I do,) played at the fountain, swam in the bay...the list goes on and on.  The biggest "milestone" this past month was walking...and when he took off, he took off.  It makes all of us laugh at how he waddles around- too cute!

Watching So You Think You Can Dance- He loves to dance!

Fountain Fun with the Coles

Feeding the ducks

LOVES frozen grapes!

Last, but not least...FIRST STEPS

Oh happy day!

So...it's the little things in life that make us smile- right? Well, here is one of my "little happy's."

Yes- Exotic Coconut Lotion from Bath and Body Works.  It only comes out twice a year.  January and June. You could order it online all year, but why pay the shipping and why miss the opportunity of going into the store to experience pure JOY?!?!  I've gotten several friends to become big fans. In fact, Regan met me up there the other day and I just had to take a picture of the happiness I wanted to spread after purchasing.  I  felt like a kiddo on Christmas morning!

Yes...two grown women thrilled to have gotten their hands on the gold!  Go into B&B...purchase some.  This week it is only $5 for a lotion,  a body wash, or a body spray.  I promise it won't let you down.  I've never worked at B&B, had the desire to, nor am I being paid to endorse.  Go get some to brighten your day!!!

Morning Baby!

Don't we all wish we could feel like this every morning?  This is without coffee or food!!!!

I just woke him up and brought him into our room to play on the bed...he LOVES to be thrown around and to play rough! Good thing boys are on the way- soon he will have two brothers to rough house with...along with Dad and Max the dog...and of course mom! How busy but fun our house will be!!

Summer Fun

Here are some pics of what we have been up to the past couple of weeks:

**Sliding inside on rainy days...and

there have been many of those!!

**Helping mom unload the dishwasher

**Playing a new game at bath-time with Dad and Max

**Army crawling outside on the cement...I'm

thinking walking would be better than this position. However, sweet Sanders has a double dose of stubborness, courtesy of mom and dad!

**First trip to Auburn and Momma G's-War Eagle and Yum Yum!!

**Lake Martin: First boat ride- He was cautious at first, but ended up laughing and giggling throughout the ride!
