Words...

Before Evan woke up on Wednesday morning Kyle was awake in our room talking with Ben and I. The conversation was centered around when Kyle was a baby and some of the neat things he did.
The conversation then turned to words Evan can say. We were all naming off his words that he says which consists of bye bye, hey, go, mama, dada, bubba, and gaga.

About this time Evan woke up so we all jumped up to say good morning and to start our day. This word conversation was long forgotten....until we were on our way to school.

Kyle said "Mama, I know another word Evan can say."

I say "What is it baby?"

Kyle says "DELICIOUS" and busts out laughing!

So if anyone hears my 10 month old say delicious please let me know cause I defintely want to hear this one!

Staycation 2011

Last week was our annual "staycation" week. This is the week that the boys school is closed and I take vacation to stay home with them.

The first year Kyle was in school and we came up to this week, we made the decision to stay at home and do fun things locally. We have been doing it every year since and I am SO glad we started this tradition.... It is wonderful to go do fun, exciting and different things everyday but then sleep in my own bed at night. And the best part....I don't have to pack for an over night visit! :-)

This year proved to be just as fun, if not better than all the past years! I will try to post as many pictures as possible from each of our activities. I will warn you...I did take a A LOT of pictures. :-)

Happy Father's Day

On Sunday, we didn't really get to have a fun filled day with Ben since he had to work but we did get a few minutes Sunday morning for the boys to give him cards and the presents they made for him.

Kyle was SOOOO proud of making his Daddy a hat for Father's Day. Kyle drew pictures all over it. I think on the front of it is a picture of Kyle and Ben and then on the top he drew a strawberry and a tree.

Ben with both of his boys!

Saturday Fun

Saturday morning the boys and I got outside to play. We decided to go out front to play with chalk and Kyle wanted to ride his bike.

Evan sat in his zebra and watch, squealed and cheered Kyle on with every lap he made on the the driveway. One of my favorite things is hearing Evan clap and say "yea, yea, yea!" It is the cutest thing ever!

Once Kyle got off his bike he started drawing. I think Evan liked his helmet!

Sweet boy!

Kyle and I drew turtles, sharks, suns, a hopscotch squares, and anything else we could think of! We had so much fun but before I realized it we got SO hot!

I am looking forward to getting outside with the boys again this weekend. Maybe it will be a little cooler?!?! Nah, its summer in south GA.... :-)

A new defintion to describe me...

Mamarazzi

"Mothers who constantly follow their children around with several cameras and video taking equipment, snapping photos at each turn and documenting each milestone or event with at least two dozen photos and a video." http://www.urbandictionary.com/

Yep, that pretty much describes me!

I take pictures of big days like the first day of Vacation Bible School for Kyle.

Or just because it was Monday for Evan.

I take pictures of everyday regular things like Kyle's taco tonight when he put more cheese than meat. (Yes, he ate all of it!) :-)

Or because Evan was squealing and having such a good time with puffs.

My boys know that their Mama will always have a camera and I will be sure to record every day of their lives. I keep telling myself that one day they will appreciate all of these memories I have captured. So yes, I am very proud to be called the Mamarazzi! :-)
