more July!

So I had some great fun pulling weeds and doing a little landscaping one day this last week. I put Eli in the pack'n play on the front porch and Noah rode his bike up and down the sidewalk and played with his friend Jack. For those of you who know me, I do NOT have a green thumb whatsoever, so taking care of a yard with extensive landscaping is not my idea of a good way to spend 3 hours. But it needed to be done! I even bought a hanging flower pot for the front porch. We'll see if it lives for very long!

On Thursday I turned 32 and Jason brought me gorgeous flowers. J and I went out for a BBQ dinner and then went back to have brownie ice cream cake with the boys. Noah asked, "Who's coming for Mommy's birthday?" Apparently since we had a party for Eli's birthday, he though we'd have one for mine, too! Too funny!

Happy 1st Birthday, Eli!

So little man had the big "1" and boy did he have fun! Lots of great people to celebrate with and he got some fabulous gifts, too! He didn't know what to do with his cake, but he loved pulling and chewing on wrapping paper! And Noah loved "helping" him open his gifts (or pretty much opening them for him!) So fun and so cute. I can't believe I now have a 1 year old and a 3 year old. Where has the time gone? I really enjoy my time with them! They are both full of so much personality and so funny, bright and sweet. God has truly blessed us with 2 amazing boy!

Happy 4th of July!

Happy 4th of July! Hope you all had a safe and enjoyable holiday! We sure did! Jason's family arrived last night to a dinner of fried chicken, mashed potatoes and sweet corn made by my fabulous hubby! Noah was very excited and Eli was overwhelmed and just wanted to be held by Mommy!
We went to visit friends in town that used to live with us in Kansas City and Noah got to hold his first sparkler, which he loved! He told Jason, "Let's do more Daddy!" Both boys fell asleep in the car on the way home.
We will enjoy our time with them all while we can!
Take care!
