Fourteen years from now...



We are in trouble...especially adding Sanders to the mix!!

Picnic

On Tuesday of this week I was already tired of cleaning the kitchen, so I decided to have a picnic outside to make for easier clean-up.  We were eating spaghetti, so outside was a must!  The boys stopped from devouring their food for a few brief moments...I say devouring because it is only Thursday morning and we have already gone through 12 bananas and 3 gallons of milk...goodness gracious!!!! Donations accepted to my mailing address : )






We had a photo shoot

In the middle of August, I decided it was time to get some pictures taken for the boys birthday invites.  Amanda helped me get the hoodlums ready and distracted during the attempt...below are the results:

Attack!


Escape!

Sawyer and Shephard...this is actually their 11 month picture.  Shephard cracks me up with his grin!

New Shoes

Matt and I decided to see how Sanders would do with soccer, so we went and bought him some cleats and a ball.  His first "game" isn't until the end of September and Im sure there will be more day dreaming and picking grass than actual kicking of the ball.  






I can't believe this "big brother" is old enough to play now!  
On a different note,  I can't believe Sanders is old enough to communicate verbally with me.  I tell him daily that I don't want him to grow up...and he tells me "I have to grow up mommy."   Even at times when I tell him not to do something, he will say "don't say that to me mommy, please." The fact that he asks me politely not to say something makes me want to laugh then and there, but I have to hold my composure and tell him that he's being disrespectful.  I could squeeze and hug and play and rough house and so many more things... I wish I could bottle up this time forever!

So much fun!
