Macy LOVES "isssh"

While I've been busy editing pictures lately, Jamie and the kids have been running around having fun without me :( Thankfully, he takes the camera with him wherever he goes, so I won't miss anything. These pictures were taken way back on the day of our big snow here in Myrtle Beach at Bass Pro Shops.

While I was home editing, they were watching the fish and riding ATVs. I'm ready to cut back my workload, so I don't miss any more fun with my babies. It's hard to find balance as a mom isn't it?














Macy really does LOVE all things fish. Jadon still has yet to sit through "Finding Nemo," but Macy will sit there amazed at all of the colors swimming in the water. She's also recently learned to say "duck," after Gramma and Grandpa bought her a stuffed yellow duck for Easter. It's one of the words she can say very clearly.

The 'rents

Jamie and I are convinced Jadon and Macy would prefer to hang out with Gramma and Grandpa any day over us. When they pick them up, they don't even look back. They're faces light up, and they look at us (the people who clean up egg puke from the carpet and their hair!), as if to say, "See ya!"

Fridays with Friends

On Friday evenings, Jadon's buddy Ashton (and sometimes his sister Ary) come to stay for about four hours. Jadon is always soooo excited to have friends over...a little too excited for me and Jamie most times, but we do our best to re-direct. Have I mentioned how thankful I am that Macy was a girl? I cannot imagine having two rambunctious boys so close in age. Holy moly! They're cute though...four hours at a time :)







This last Friday, Gramma and Grandpa came over to help us with the house-full of kiddos. That is what you came to do, right Grandpa?

Animal House

When the grandparents stop by, all sorts of circus-like crazy happens!

Don't let Gramma's book reading fool ya!


Grandpa gets them all riled up with his elephant, horse, tiger, spider, whatever-Jadon-calls-them rides ;)




Let's not forget the ole swinging in the blanket trick either:


Jamie and I are so very thankful to have not one, but two sets of grandparents who love our kids as much as we do. Having Gramma and Grandpa just three miles down the road is so nice, and having Nanay and Tatay visit us every summer gives us something to look forward to. Jadon and Macy love you all sooo much, and Jadon thanks God for each of you by name every night, when he says his prayers...and so do we :)

"Go Weesa's House"

Every other day we get the request to "Go Weesa's house. See Grandtaw. See Enninie. See Ziggy." We are happy to oblige because Gramma's development is much quieter and less busy than ours is, and she lives on a cul-de-sac, as opposed to our house, which is on the main road in our development. It is nice to take the kids there, where they can essentially have the entire street to themselves without the worry of any cars coming.

Macy is such a big girl now. Just look at her in Jadon's Step 2 car! She looks so proud of herself, when we put her in it, and she immediately grabs hold of the steering wheel like she is actually driving. Adorable! Gramma was working out of town this day, so we sent her these pics from my phone, so the quality isn't the best, but Macy's smile certainly is :)



Jadon LOVES riding his bikes at Gramma and Grandpa's too. We took his "ATTV" there this weekend, and he had a blast running it up and down the street.




He had to make a detour, once he saw this rock. He was obsessed with it. Shhh...don't tell him, but the next time we go there, Mama's gonna take some paint, so we can decorate it :)




When did he get so tall??? Oh the sadness :(

Just before this pic was taken, Jadon was nearly in tears begging, "Grandtaw, letsa drive truck!" As soon as Grandpa stood up from the dinner table and said, "C'mon let's go," his face lit up and he ran for the door, straight outside to the truck, and stood beside the door waiting for Grandpa...the anticipation of getting in nearly killed him!

Big guy ;)

"Bye, Mama. See you later!"



The lack of quantity of relatives and family we have here is easily made up for in quality. We love you, Weesa and Grandtaw :)

An Outfit from Sally at Sunset

We just happened to be outside at Gramma's the other night, when God painted the most beautiful sunset for us to use as a backdrop for a few pictures. Thankfully, I also happened to have my camera in the car and Macy happened to be wearing this adorable outfit, a gift from our friend Sally.

P.S. Jadon is soooo rotten! Poor, poor Macy. She is his biggest fan, despite all he puts her through.
