A Little Bit of July....

July seems to have flown by faster than any other month. The boys are growing so fast! They are a month away from their 3rd birthday and they are measuring like 4 year olds! We've loved our summer!

Haircut Anyone???

Gotta love 'em!  Here's to mop-heads full of beautiful hair!!

Loving Summer!!

On those hot summer days, we do fun crafts like finger paint, puzzles, crayons, play-doh, bubbles, balls & sprinklers....

When that gets old, we do something extra special like going to the zoo with our great friends...

Boys are so much fun! They see life in a unique way. There are countless times when the boys are holding a parakeet on their seeded popsicle stick and they ask very important questions like, "Where do they make poopoo? Where are their hands? Where do they go night-night?"  I love the newness of everything to their young little minds.

Loving the Outdoors...

Nothing like the Texas heat wave! Might as well be outdoors!

A Little Bit of May....

I can't believe that May has come & gone! The boys completed their 1st year of preschool. They LOVE school & have learned so much from their teacher, Ms.Teresa (right, below). She said the boys have shown the most growth out of anyone in her 2 classes, height-wise & knowledge-wise. They grew 3 inches in 8 months!! I couldn't be more proud!! (Cayden, L; Cam, R)

My MOPS table; end of MOPS for the summer, beginning of my Coordinatorship....

May has flown by faster than I could have imagined. The days are long but the months are short. All I know is that life is beautiful. Not perfect, but beautiful....

Mother's Day 2010

I love Mother's Day. I aspire to be the best Mom I can possibly be to our two little boys. Afterall, God has entrusted two precious, loving, beautiful boys to me. I had breakfast in bed from the boys (poptarts and a cup of coffee); I opened up cards & cried at the beautiful gift I received from the boys (made at preschool). It was beautiful. Happy Mother's Day to our Moms in our lives.

The Arthritis Walk

While the Damans were here visiting, we were able to do something a little special.... Scott & I had signed up to do the Arthritis Walk 5K honoring my mother-in-law, Linda, and my friend Lisa. It was so wonderful that their visit fell on the weekend of the event. Lisa & I met when I was about 12 wks pregnant with the boys; we currently serve in MOPS (Mother's of Preschoolers) together.

Gramm & Papa's Visit

Camden & Cayden were excited that Gramm & Papa were coming to visit. They hoped that their favorite Billy Goat, Butch, would somehow make it in Gramm or Papa's suitcase; see pic of Butch below...

You never know what they're up to when Papa's in charge....

We headed to the zoo, the boy's favorite place!!

Ah, & a rare feeding moment-the giraffe was looking for snack over his fence. The boys were too far to feed to him, so we settled for some greens =)

These boys love being with family. They are getting to the age where they enjoy receiving phone calls & spending time with others. We love how most of our family makes an effort to stay connected to our boys--they need that. We all do. Thanks for making life special!
