Rodney's 39th Birthday

We had a low key birthday for Rodney, but that is the way he likes them. We went to church, ate at McAlister's, then home for cake. It was a special day and we are so thankful Rodney and all he does for our little family! Happy Birthday! P.S. He rarely reads this blog so I can totally put his age on here!

Cake Making 101

In March is our favorite guy's birthday - RODNEY! The boys and I had a great time the day before making Daddy's favorite birthday cake - strawberry cake. The boys were a big help and so excited to help with something special for the best Daddy in the world.

Spring Soccer

The boys were very excited about soccer this spring. Carter Wayne would be with his same team and Sawyer was getting to play for the FIRST time. Here they are in their "practice" gear. Ready to go!

Snow Day

We had one good snow day in February, Rodney even got to stay home! We suspected that we would have a light winter because we finally had an awesome sled. The boys got it for Christmas from my in laws and they loved it!!! It still got some use as a "boat" in the house. But we hope next year we get a few more times to use it in the actual snow. :) The boys had a blast in the snow. They really enjoyed going up to the local school and playing on the icy playground. It was a fun day that ended with two very tired boys. :)

Happy Valentine's Day

The boys looked so precious on Valentine's Day. Carter Wayne had school and he was so excited about the party. Sawyer and I were headed to Tuesday Bible study. I just love the pic of them hugging! I looked all over for a plain grey long sleeve t-shirt for Carter Wayne to wear under this red shirt. Nowhere to be found. There was one in the girls' section at Wal-Mart - the shoulders were ruched-but it would be under Carter Wayne's shirt so I went with it. I mean no one would see it, right? Well, half-way through Bible study I see that Carter Wayne's teacher is calling. I go out of the room to call her back and CW has thrown up and is super sick! I pick up Sawyer and head to pick CW up from the school. The whole way over there all I can think is my poor baby has thrown up all over his shirt leaving them to remove the top shirt, only to find that his mother has dressed him in a girls' shirt!!! Mortified! I get to the school and they have not removed his shirt but he looks horrible. He tells Ms. Tera and I that he felt sick all morning but didn't want to miss the party. Bless his heart! Sweet Ms. Tera promised to save all his goodies. We went home and got a doctor's appoinment.The pic of him in the car is coming home from the doctor. I mean, how pitiful is that?? He was out the rest of the week. This began 3 months of sickness that I do not want to ever repeat again. We just passed that bug around and even ended up with me getting the flu. Yuck! But at least no one at CW's school thinks his momma dresses him in little girls' clothes (I threw that shirt away!)

Playing Catch Up Part 1

Let's start with February, shall we?? Here are a couple of pics from a typical cold weekend. Loots of train track building went on this season. This makes me sad because here in July, just a few short months later, my boys seem to have left the trains behind. How did that happen. Now they are in to Angry Birds and Power Rangers. Breaks this momma's heart. Sweet boys are growing up too fast!

I have been a horrible blogger! We got iphones in February and I didn't use my camera for a month and I barely got on my computer. Well, the new has now worn off - with the help of my kids' new obsession with Angry Birds - so I will be attempting to update in the days to come. Afterall, this is my only scrapbook and it would be a shame to not have it for the boys! So updates coming soon! I promise! :)
