Circus day, Meritt is 1, and Disney on ICE!

I just LOVE weekends when Derek's off work and we can do normal family things, haha. We've had a good week and took too many pictures :)

Outside boys! I know where they'll be this spring. Anytime it's over 50 they run outside :)

Circus day at school

They each had to do an 'act' in front of the class and parents. Colin did awesome with his monster jam tricks and wasn't nervous in front of everyone at all!

  

They had cute games for them to do after and we lucked out that daddy was off that day too and could come!

Dinner at our fav with Aunt Jessie and Mer while the men worked!

These boys have played sooo well together the past few weeks...I mean hours at a time with no arguments. The sweetness comes in waves so we are enjoying this phase!

C had to get a few small cavities filled and did so great! He came home to tell me about the movie on the ceiling (didn't mention the tooth stuff at all, ha)

Cousin grill out Friday night!

Crazy how big these kids are now.

Some of Eli's fans!

E did so good and scored his first basket!!

This sweet girl turned 1 Friday and we got to celebrate with everyone Saturday!

Doozie is popular :)

What kid doesn't love an overstuffed bear?!

Colin loved getting to help Mer open her presents. She was too cute checking them all out.





Goodness this year went by fast! You are sooo loved Meritt!

Daddy is the best (Connor's words) and built them an awesome room fort!

Disney on Ice for the first time! The kids were amazed by the skating and loved all the singing!

We have just started watching Frozen and that (along with Toy Story) were their favorite parts.

Big C was soaking it all in

Connor LOVED it. He waved at everyone, clapped, pointed at everything. He started bawling when we told him it was the last song! We'll definitely have to do this again next year.

Dentist, Chatty, Hunts, and more!

Thanks to some icy roads last week, we spent too much time inside, ha. We were stir crazy and ready for some adventure! We loaded up our weekend with travel while Derek worked and had a great time. We visited Keshia and kids in Chatty and spent time with grandparents in Huntsville. Here's our week of pics!

This boy is still attached to my hip during the day...mostly as a storm trooper :) I'll take it! 


Lots of cuddling and playtime :) We got out to Nori one day and the boys devoured their salads and edamame :)

We got lucky there was a cancelation and got to get into the dentist. The boys both did great and were excited to do lunch and playtime with Mimi and Pawpaw who were in town keeping Eli and K for the day!


Mimi was a trooper and did the tricks they requested ;)

Daddy day while mommy worked! Star wars shirts and boots! Plus some of Connor's boys.

They love when he takes them to Waffle House!

Aquarium day with Ali and Silas!


These 2 so love each other! They both take Connor and Silas under their wings and we don't hear from them in the back room for hours! Our time together is never enough with them.


Beautiful weather to get outside at Pawpaw's! Even had popsicles...come on spring!

Surprised the boys with a morning trip to the Space and Rocket Center. We met Doozie and Nana there and the boys loved it.


Connor was a little nervous that the capsule was going to blast off...Colin was disappointed it wasn't going to.

Book time all together has become the bedtime tradition these nights. Love piling in bed with my loves :)

Can't believe that stinky face boy in the above pic is the same sweet baby in this pic taken 2 years ago, hehe.

Belle has been enjoying this weather too and has been worn out from playing with her BFF Brady all weekend! I think Derek missed her a little while we were gone :)
