Boys will be Boys!

Charlie is definitely all boy, there is no denying it! He loves to get dirty, run around with out shoes on, play in the sand with his dumpers and diggers and he will never pass up the opportunity to ride his tractor. This morning while we were playing in the back yard we heard quite the commotion out front and he kept asking "what are those boys doing mommy?" I kept telling him they were picking up all the yard clippings and such but he just kept asking. So I thought to myself, why do we just go up front and take a peak. This by far was one of my best and cheapest ideas, the kid could have stayed all day to watch the "boys" as he calls them pick up all the trimmings. The boy driving the truck even honked his horn for Charlie and the smile it brought to his face was priceless. I just love how the simple things in life, like a truck with a swing arm picking up yard trimmings can make a little boy so happy! On our way to run errands this afternoon we ended up behind the same truck and Charlie asked me to follow him, which we did for a little while before we had to part, to say he was a little upset would be an understatement. Luckily tomorrow is trash day and that little boy of mine will get to see the garbage truck, which by the way is is favorite!

So excited to watch the "boys"!

Mommy do you see this it is so cool? All boy enjoying the truck!

Brotherly Love!

Charlie is obsessed with holding his baby brother, he truly loves having him around and asks multiple times a day to hold Coleman. Last night I snapped a few shots of Charlie being the best big brother and loving on his baby brother. We do have to watch him when he is holding him since sometimes he can be a little rough or he just is finished holding him and pushes him off his lap. All in all he is great at his job of big brother and well the little brother is just a long for the ride most days. I can't wait to see how things progress as they get older, in my vision I see Coleman chasing after his big brother and friends thinking he is a big kid and I really don't have a huge problem with that!

Brotherly Love

Looks like he is biting him but I am pretty sure this was a kiss! Trying to help Coleman back up when he was falling.

Readjusted and all is well

Zoo!

We were recent recipients of a Zoo Membership and today since it was so pretty (finally) Josh and I decided to take the boys! Coleman was pretty much just along for the ride but Charlie had so much fun seeing all the animals and running around and playing! I have not been to the zoo in quite sometime and was very impressed with all the renovations that have recently been completed. The new African Trail was great and we loved seeing the Tigers, Elephants, Giraffes, Zebras and all the other animals. We also enjoyed seeing the Kangaroos, the petting zoo and feeding the birds nectar. I could not think of a better way to spend our anniversary, then to enjoy a day outside having fun with our boys! I am looking forward to many more visits with the boys over the summer!

Daddy and Charlie playing the drums!

C-Man along for the ride! Feeding the bird!

War Eagle, I love Tigers!

Mommy and my Big Boy!

Six Years!

Happy Anniversary

How is it possible that we have been married for six years already! I will never forget this day six years ago, it was cold and snowy (so much for a sunny warm wedding in April) and I was running around like crazy trying to get ready. Fast forward six years and it is a beautiful sunny day and the sound of a talking baby and toddler are what we wake up to. Life is oh so sweet and I wouldn't change any of it for the world! Looking back I really don't know if I ever imagined where we might be in six years but I could not have scripted how our lives as husband and wife and now a family of four has played out. Happy Anniversary Josh, here's to many many more and many many more fun adventures!

Dare Devil

I thought Charlie needed a little blog love since it seems that his brother has had a few post lately. Here is a video of our little Dare Devil riding his tractor backwards, he would much rather ride this way then how he is suppose to. I still can't believe he will be three in a little over a month he is getting to be such a big kid!

Like a Rolling Stone!

It appears Coleman has had a few big things happen over the last several days. This morning he was enjoying some tummy time (or as much as he could enjoy it) when he decided to roll over from belly to back. I went back to check and it appears that Charlie was about the same age when he rolled from belly to back for the first time as well!

Enjoy the video it may be a little dark because we did not have any lights on but you can still get the picture! My baby is growing up!

Grins and Giggles!

Coleman is getting so big yesterday morning I was playing with him while Josh was feeding Charlie breakfast and he started giggling at me. I could not get him to do it again for Josh but finally last night when we were all playing he started to giggle again and Josh was able to capture it on video!
