Will they ever forgive me?????

With Disney Fast approaching I thought this to be cute!!! Of course my boys will both hate me one day for these pictures but they looked way too cute to note consider it a photo opportunity!! Our neighbor was giving away this costume and Caleb saw it and thought Paker would love it!! Caleb came right home and tried it on!! Parker was napping and when he woke up and saw it he said "OH MY" we were rushing out the door at the time so as soon as we got back home he had to put it on!! I have to say these are the cutest nemos I have ever seen!!!











This will probably be my last post until after Disney (unless more funny moments happen around here)!! Can't wait to share all the wonderful photos we take while we are there!!

Cookies anyone???

Well today we invited friends over to bake and decorate Christmas cookies! Imagine 7 little ones all under the age of 4 trying to use the cookie cutters and sprinkles to create the perfect cookie to eat! I thought you all might enjoy seeing us in action as well as the finished product right before going in the oven!!


I think they cared more about the sprinkles than anything!


The two one year olds were on the floor at this point, very upset about not being a part of the action!!

It was a fun morning though! The boys really enjoy their friends and the special moments like these that they get to enjoy together!! We are very thankful for all the wonderful friends the Lord as blessed us as well as our children with!!

Here Comes Santa Claus . . .

This is the first year we went to Lenox and rode the pink pig ride! For those of you not in ATL this is a big thing that many families do as a tradition!! There normally is a long line for it but we got lucky and it was really short this year so we decided to give it a try and the kids loved it!! It made them really excited about what is to come next week at Disney!!!
Here are the boys waiting in line to ride! They were so excited!! Parker kept saying "I ride it" over and over!! We may have to follow the trend in ATL and make this an every year thing!!!


This is kind of far off but this is the actual picture we got of them with Santa, I was so shocked they did not cry! Caleb was very unsure and almost cried at first but once he got up there he was fine and loved Santa!! I bribed Parker with M&M's so he would not cry and he managed to hold it together! It is amazing what a little chocolate can do to a kid!! Of course the second I took him off his lap he said "MM's pwease"


Caleb is telling Santa he wants (get this) "A LOT OF STUFF!" The good thing for me is he was not specific so I don't have to rush to find one certain thing and A LOT of stuff from a 3 year old may only be a few small things!!! Parker is looking at them both like they are nuts!!



Here we are waiting in line to see the big guy Santa!! We were as excited as the kids!! Such a fun family moment!! My dear friend Jennifer went with us so she was great in helping us capture the moment!! Thanks Jennifer!!

Will it stay this way forever??????

Ok, so my pictures uploaded in the wrong order so before I put a comment under every picture I thought I should comment on the title of this post!!! You will understand that question a little better once you look at the last few pictures!! Caleb and Parker are just having so much fun together and love each other so much I am just hoping it stays this way forever. The first thing Parker asks for in the morning is "DEDE" which is what he is now calling Caleb!! He will go in his room grab his leg and say "Get up DEDE" then they walk around holding hands and just loving on each other. It is just so sweet! They both hate seeing the other saddened by anything and it just melts my heart!! They have their moments every now and then but for the most part they are just great together. I worry about one day maybe bringing another one into the mix He/She may get left out for sure!! Anyway, Hope you enjoy the new pictures! Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, Christmas is right around the corner but first for us is our yearly trip to Disney!!! We leave a week from Sat and the kids are so excited!! Even Parker will tell you all the characters he is hoping to see when he gets there! We come home on the 20th and then Santa will be coming!!!



Here are the boys one morning when their buddy Chapel had spent the night!! The three of them play really well together!!

This morning I was trying to get dinner in the crock pot and I turn around and Parker had gone in the pantry got the cheerios put them on the table then crawled up there and was enjoying a little snack for himself!! Caleb was at school so he was being sneaky all by himself!! This is the look I got when he was caught!!


This was this morning right after waking up!! Sometimes I think Caleb would like a little space in the morning but there is none with Parker around, he can't get enough of his big brother!




Yesterday, Parker was just crawling all over Caleb and Caleb thought it was the funniest thing!!! I couldn't get the camera fast enough!


Parker went from sitting beside Caleb to wanting Caleb to hold him!! This was just the sweetest thing to me!! He kept telling him "Hold ME, DEDE" and Caleb said "can't you just sit beside me"!!!
