True Colors.

Aden's first strawberries
He LOVED them so much he even ate the green.

mmmm. more please.

You see this cute little sweet face? A face that could do no wrong. A face that never starts fights or hits his brother because after all he is the baby. Times have changed and I think the playing field is about even between the two brothers. What Aden lacks in strength and size he makes up for in brains and pure meanness. He will wait until Walker is not paying attention find some sort of weapon(golf clubs are usually his first choice) and go to town whacking Walker over and over again. It's a little funny to watch this take place because the look on both of their faces are priceless. Aden has a plain blank look on his face and Walker is in disbelief that his younger brother is beating the crap out of him. Don't get me wrong I don't sit there and watch this go on and on. This happens in a matter of minutes. Aden knows when to strike because I am usually putting clothes away when I start hearing the screams.

Yesterday we were at my Nannie's house and we got to witness the true younger brother colors of Aden. You see Walker usually gets in trouble for taking a toy away from Aden when he is playing with it. Well I was walking to the back porch behind Aden, (which he did not know I was behind him) and I watched him run straight to Walker and snatch the toy out of Walker's hand and start screaming bloody murder. He was trying to make it look like Walker started it all but I saw everything and so did Nannie. We both were laughing so hard that I didn't get a chance to correct the action that took place. That little booger has already figured it out!!! I know that I'm going to have my hands full for a very long time to come but it is so worth it. I LOVE the fact that they can talk to each other and figure stuff out together. They love to talk to each other in the car and if I turn it to up beat music they both dance to it. I love my little monkeys!!

Better late than never birthday pictures!!

Walker's 3rd Birthday

mmmm cake

Walker eating his cupcake and loving it!

I guess I take after my mom on trying to make birthdays special for my kids plus it keeps my mind off the fact that they are growing up fast. For Walker's birthday I decided at the last minute to get my mom and my friend Cheryl to meet us at Chuck -E-Cheese for a mini party. I lucked up because Josh was game on taking the day off to celebrate with us. Walker had a ball and so did Aden. We had the whole place to ourselves for the first hour. Thanks mom and Cheryl for making Walker's day even more special by being part of the fun.

After C-E-C we took the boys home for a nap. When they woke up we did our yearly birthday tradition. The birthday boy gets to pick out his present(which by the way takes forever!!) and he gets to pick where he wants to eat his birthday dinner. Last year it was McDonald's and this year Walker picked Cracker Barrel! I was glad for the upgrade. All in all I think Walker had a great birthday and I didn't even cry when they called out his name at Toys R Us like I did last year.

Funny Walker

I have a quick Walker story that has taught me a little lesson. Yesterday Josh, me, and the boys were getting ready to leave our house and I heard a huge bang then I heard Walker screaming outside. So I ran outside thinking Josh hit the house with my car and pinned Walker underneath. Once I opened the door I saw Josh holding Walker and I knew they were okay so I said out loud " What in the heck was that noise?" to Josh. So for the next 20 minutes or so Walker kept asking us "What in the heck is that making noises?" over and over again. Luckily we were on our way to a birthday party so it took his mind off the question. Oh and the noise was a transformer blew out across the street from us. Those things are LOUD when they blow.

Pure sweetness.

I was able to take a picture of Nanny and the boys at my cousin's baby shower with her smiling. She doesn't like smiling for pictures much but I guess the boys bring out the best in her. It warms my heart that my boys have a special bond with my Nanny like I do. I am crazy about these three amigos and I just love this picture!!!!

10 years!!!

Ten years ago today I married the love of my life and my best friend and today he is so much more to me which I thank God everyday for the wonderful life I have. Happy 10 year Anniversary!!!!

I thought all of you would like this.

Easter party at church

We had of first Easter block party at our church Saturday before Easter. They had hot dogs, cotton candy, popcorn, games, the Easter bunny, moon walker bouncers, a band, a Easter egg hunt, and a firetruck!!!!!! Walker and Aden had a blast with everything. Walker got to go in a moon walk for the first time and loved it but I don't know if it was because he could jump or flirt with the girls. He's a cutie and trust me Aden did his fare share of flirting with girls too. I guess they have already learned from the biggest flirt - their DAD!!

Captain Walker

Getting ready to hunt.

Hey what is this?

See all the eggs around him? Well he didn't pick up a one of them.

Aden started getting into it to show off for Ali behind him. If you notice Aden's outfit it is because that is Walker's first Easter outfit he wore.

Another naked post

Hello!

Oh my hair.

Can you see the love?

Future Tellatubbies.

I know that I post a lot of bath time pictures on here but that is the only time that I can get the two together in one place and lets face it, naked babies are cute!!

Big Change in the Boone House

Well first I was going to blog about how Aden walked all around the house today like it was no big thing. Granted he only took about six to eight steps at a time but he was so proud. Walker and I kept cheering him on so he kept trying more steps. It is so cute to watch a big brother get so excited over his little brother's accomplishments. They are each others biggest fan.

They are starting to play better and better with each other and have also started wrestling. I thought they were a little to young but I can't stop them. You should see Aden when he body slams Walker then Walker puts him in a head lock kinda move. I guess boys will be boys.

Now for the BIG news are you ready? Drum roll please!!!.................

WALKER POOPED IN THE POTTY!!!!!!!!

Yes it is true and Josh didn't have to coach him into it.

Walker was getting out of the tub and told Josh "Don't dry my boodie Daddy"

Josh looked at him and said "Why do you have to poop?"

Walker: "Yes"

Josh: " Well sit on your potty"

Walker: " Okay"

After a few minutes of pushing Walker produced the biggest kids poopie I have ever seen!!

They called me in there to look so I had to run and get my camera to document this huge event which Walker was so proud. I gave him Tic-Tac as a treat!!

The things that will make a mommy proud. I love you boys more and more each day!!!

Rain Rain Go Away

Another rainy day in Georgia means another whinny day in Booneville. I try to wear them out inside but between our to do list of chores and cabin fever I am going nuts!! Thank goodness that mom got Walker the Easter Bunny coming to town movie or I would be bald now. Thanks Mom Walker LOVES the movie!!!!!

Aden did take some independent step this morning but right when he got to his fire truck he took a nose drive right into the fire truck and that was all he wrote on the walking. Last night I was trying to get him to come to me but instead of him walking or crawling he got on his hands and feet and walked that way. What a goofy boy but that's why I love him so much.

I finally got Walker and Aden signed up for preschool next year at our church. Walker will go three days(Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) and Aden will go Thursdays. I am stocking up on tissues for the first day of Walker's school but I am excited at the same time. I will be able to get out and help Josh more which makes him excited.

Tomorrow we are suppose to meet with a realtor to put our old house on the market. I am bitter sweet about that but GLAD when I can close the book on that chapter of my life. It is only bitter sweet because that was my boys first house and the crazy sentimental personality of me is sad but the relief of not having to live there is so so much better. The boys love our new house.

That's all for me today but if I end up taking pictures I will post them later. I wish I had my camera charged earlier because Walker did do the sweetest thing to Aden this morning. Walker was laying down on the floor and Aden went over to him and crawled on top of him so Walker hugged him and rocked him. He was singing Rock a bye baby to him and Aden laid his head on Walker's chest. It was just priceless to see. I love my two monkeys!!!!
