Bare Chested Boys!

My boys love to run around without their shirts on! Actually, they'd prefer no clothes at all but we have a rule that they must at least wear underwear (or a diaper for Isaac!) in case the doorbell rings! Here's Wyatt showing off his big muscles for the camera!

And here's Ike feeling a little grumpy at the end of the night begging to go to bed (at 6:30pm!).

Here's big bro trying to wrestle lil bro. Isaac is defintiely not in the mood for any rough housing. I love the looks on their faces... captures their true feelings perfectly! Isaac is taddling on brother and Wyatt is appearing to feel a bit remorseful.

Love this! They are having a little conversation in the bathroom.

They have apparently made up and are ready for a shower before bed!

Family Fun!

The past few days were full of family and fun memories...

Thursday we visited a darling little book store called the Reading Reptile with cousins Ashtyn and Daxton. The kids had so much fun picking out and gobbling down a storybook character cupcake...

Riding an old-time 10 cent/ride horse... and participating in storytime and one very MESSY art project!

Then on Friday night we went to the Sylvester Powell Free Family Fun Night with Mimi, Auntie B and cousin Dax! They had open pool and open gym for 3 hours and we stayed the whole time! I didn't get near enough pictures in the pool because my camera kept fogging over, but the boys loved the water!!!! Daddy got a little overwhelmed trying to keep track of these two fish in the sea, so somebody had to get out. That somebody was not so happy...

But Isaac was a-ok once Mimi and I took him into the gym for some playtime! He played hard and was completely pooped by 8pm when everything shut down (also an hour past bedtime for Ike man!). He got to shoot some hoops, run around like crazy, and...

drive the fire truck!

Then on Sunday we drove to Manhattan, KS to see Uncle Joel, Aunt Jen, Ellie and Alexa. It was a gorgeous day so we spent plenty of time outdoors on the play set....

Ellie and Wyatt played a little ping pong with Uncle Joel...

and I got lots of time holding Alexa. Wow! She's as light as a feather compared to my Isaac! : ) She just watched the kids play and didn't ask to get down even once. She is just so sweet and snuggly and extremely layed back--totally opposite of my boys! It was fun to get a little girl-time!

It's always fun to be with family!

March in the "Impatry"! :)

This is Wyatt's FAVORITE song right now... But he always puts his own little twist and flavor into his music. Enjoy!

Photo Shoot!

This is one of my very favorite outfits that my friend Christa gave to us at Wyatt's baby shower. I had to be sure to get some snapshots of Isaac in this cute little ensamble before he outgrows it. Wyatt had his 9-month shoot in this outfit... Poor Ike hasn't had professional photos since he was 6-months-old. Well, they might not be professional quality : / but we're getting plenty of shots on the good ol' Canon!

Doesn't he look like he should be in a jazz band or something here?

You just gotta love a baby's profile!

I was just with a group of ladies yesterday who were commenting on what a 'hands-on' daddy Joe is. Yes! He IS very hands on... our boys absolutely adore him. And I'm so grateful he's so passionate about raising our boys together! I can't imagine a day without him or raising these babies without his leadership and helping hands! I just wish that every little boy had a daddy like my boys' daddy...

Bible Verses!

Kisses and Cheese!

Celebrating with my Sweethearts!

Here are my two little lovebugs ready to open their Valentine's goodies from Mimi...

And here are the gorgeous flowers that my very favorite fella brought home for me! Several years ago we decided that Joe would plan the events of our anniversary and Valentine's Day would be my turn to plan a date night... So, I've got a fun filled evening planned for us at the New Dinner Theatre next weekend. Looking forward to a date with my man!

Smiles were few and far between today as both of my lil supermen went on antibiotics for ear infections this afternoon. : ( They've been little troopers but certainly didn't enjoy all of the candy hearts and sweet treats quite as much as they would have on a normal day! My mom came over to have a RED Valentine's day dinner with us since my dad works the night shift... We certainly didn't want Mimi to spend the evening alone! I had a well planned, festive meal in the works until we had to make a late afternoon visit to the pediatrician for an ear check... So by the time we got home, we improvised our meal with pizzas, strawberries, and red soda pop! Below, my boys are trying hard to enjoy their goody bags from Mimi, but they are defintiely looking a little under the weather! Can't believe my Wy guy turns THREE just one month from today!!!
