My city boys.....

On Saturday after Jonna's birthday party, we went to GaGa's (my mom's) house. MeMe (Vicki) came over to visit the boys and with the weather so pretty, we stayed outside a good bit.  The boys LOVE to run in Mom's big yard! 
Planted next to Mom's house this year/season is cotton.  They supposedly have already come through and picked it but with those big machines, sometimes it seems like they leave more in the field than they really get.  Anyway....I realized the boys had never seen cotton or played with it.  So MeMe and I took both boys to the edge of the field (which is the side of Mom's yard) to show them what cotton looked like.
To be honest, I don't think they liked it or really knew what to think.  They touched it as if it was some sort of foreign object that they were not sure if they could or should touch.
But they did like walking and looking around in the cotton field. 

And I liked showing the boys a little things that they will only learn and hopefully one day learn to appreciate when they are visiting our hometown.

Happy Birthday Jonna!

On Saturday, we went to Swainsboro to help Jonna celebrate her 2nd birthday. The boys had a great time playing with their cousins and visiting with family.  Luckily it was great weather outside so the kids got to play outside and Little Pa took them on lots of golf cart rides.  I love Jonna's cupcake birthday cake!  I was the neatest cake I had ever seen! :-)

 While Jonna was opening presents, she stopped to show off her Dora birthday card we gave her to Kyle.  (Yes, he is wearing the birthday hats like horns!)

This picture is SO cute to me....Jonna is playing with Cookie Monster and Evan is just patiently looking on.  Ha Ha, if he was really this calm all the time!
After the party, we tried to get a picture of the four cousins together, as you can tell Marti does great! Jonna and Kyle look like they have a big secret and about to get in to something.  And Evan....well Evan does not care to look in the direction of the camera EVER.  (But even with everyone looking in a different direction or at each other, I think it is still a cute picture!)
