Not much going on at our house but watching the crazy weather. On Monday the boys and I spent the day at home playing. On Tuesday night Chip and I went to see the Broadway show SPAMALOT. It was great! We use to have season tickets but recently gave them up ;( This was our one pick for this season and it was hilarious! We also made a stop at Krispy Kreme afterwards for some yummy doughnuts! This was a BTL tradition for us.

Will and I had a lunch out by ourselves today. It was nice to spend some time alone with him...we don't get that much anymore.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We spent this morning decorating cookies with our Sunday School class. It was a lot of fun seeing all the kids making their yummy cookies look pretty! Will's cookies pretty much ended up with an inch or so of frosting and a ton of sprinkles/candy on top. He had fun following the older kids around after he was done....he is usually not around many kids older than him.

Will and Ben spent the evening with Gigi, Pop and Uncle Robby. Daddy and Mommy had a relaxing evening out. Will wanted to get flowers for Gi so he was excited to give them to her. He had also made some Valentines.

Mommy got some pretty flowers for Valentine's...thank you Daddy!

Ben is sick

I took Ben to the doctor today after 2 days of crying and being miserable. I first thought it was teeth but come to find out he has an ear infection! I got to look in the otoscope and it was pretty nasty! He is also cutting his top incisors which makes him a very unhappy baby! Hopefully piggy-backing tylenol and motrin with some drops for his ear pain will do the trick!

Climbing...already??

Ben climbed onto our little picnic table today. Sorry, no pics..I was right behind him the whole time! We were outside playing and Will's straw cup was in the center of the table. Ben loves drinking from it but makes a huge mess and he likes to bite the straw. Ben walked across the yard and since I had put the cup in the center he decided to climb and get it!

A taste of spring!

We enjoyed a beautiful Saturday at the Botanical Gardens. It was a special day for people to bring there dogs and Will loves dogs so we went to enjoy the fresh air. He "read" us the map and showed us where to go! Gigi and Pop met us there for a picnic. It was so nice to get some fresh air and let the boys run around! After a nap Will was in the backyard driving his gator to his "construction site" and back to his "garage" by his playhouse!

Pictures

Will and Ben had their 3 year and 1 year old pictures made a week or 2 ago at Whispers Photography. Ms. Kristin has given me this great pic of the boys for my blog. It was defintely some work getting these guys pictures together! Both my boys are movers!!! I know she had to cut my hand out of several pics. Will keeps asking when we are going back to see Ms. Kristin!

Wild Man!

Ben is moving and shaking things at our house. At his one year check-up they asked if he could stand alone for a few seconds...we laughed and said he can run!!! He is everywhere and fast. Ben is now walking backwards and laughs while doing it.

It amazes me how much they learn so quickly. He is now doing a couple of signs (I have not been as good about teaching them to Ben as I did with Will). Ben is also saying mama, dada, hi and something to the effect of "thank you."

Daddy is going to register him for school next fall. I do have mixed feelings since Will did not attend at this age but think he will do just fine!
