Sunday in the Sunshine

After a long week of grey clouds and fog, the sun finally decided to peek out and say hello this afternoon, and we were all eager to get outside and enjoy it for a few minutes before it slipped away again. We put Simon in the swing for the first time, and he wasn't really sure what to make of it. His favorite place to nap is in his baby swing in his room, so it wasn't a surprise that all that swinging made him sleepy, and he took a nap straight afterward.



Sawyer and Sutton were thrilled to have their baby brother swinging alongside them.

I think the action settings on my camera are off, because these pictures are pretty bad, but at least you can see how much fun they were having!

Swinging hand-in-hand

(no, Simon's not about to fall backwards...it's just a weird picture, and he's on more of an up-swing than Sawyer is) :)

All tired out from all that fun in the sun ♥

Craft Blog Makeover

I got a makeover over at Mom's Crafty Space. Come and check out my new look!

Monster Jam

Last Sunday Mitch took the big boys to see Monster Jam with their friends from across the street. They got free pit passes, so they arrived early to the show to check out the monster trucks up close and personal. We couldn't find our small point-and-shoot camera that morning, and Mitch didn't want to tote my huge camera with him, so these pictures and video are all from his cell phone (that's why they're such stunning quality lol).


They had great seats - lower level center, but up a little higher in the stands because we were worried that Sutton might get scared with all that noise.


All headphoned up and ready to watch the show. Sutton actually had regular earplugs on underneath those gigantic things too, and he still complained that it was too loud! What can I say, the kid doesn't do well with really loud noises. :)


Mitch bought them each a special Monster Jam shirt, and they've asked to wear them every day this week.

They LOVED the show and have been talking about it for days now. All four of the kids agreed that their favorite part of the show was in the video below...when the truck "does donuts" in the dirt.

Weekend Moments

I think these kiddos are going to be bummed when their dirt pit gets converted back into one of my garden beds come Springtime. Looks like this year we'll have to resurrect their old sandbox!

These smiles can melt anyone's heart (he's actually looking up and smiling at his big brother Sutton here).

Curled up in front of the fireplace after a long day (with Daddy's phone still in his hands!).

Random Pics

Just a few random pics that I keep forgetting to post!

♥ My Boys ♥ just hangin' out with each other and being silly

The training wheels are off! You'd never know that he's only been riding without them for a short while! I went around the block with him, and at a full RUN I still couldn't keep up with him!

{Sawyer, Deacon & Sutton} These guys never get tired of playing dress up! Thanks to Grandma's awesome post-Halloween shopping skills we now have a few more goodies in our costume trunk including this new fireman outfit and a Transformer. The old costumes are still getting plenty of love too, especially the puppy and bee since they're so snuggly and warm!

Yum!

Mitch won the award last night for Best. Husband. EVER. when he came home with these gorgeous goodies. I think his exact words were "I know you like flowers and all, but you love cupcakes." ♥

He stopped by Icing on the Cupcake and brought home some yummy treats for me (which I shared with all of my guys, of course!). We had vanilla cake with chocolate frosting - delicious frosting, typical vanilla cake; caramel apple cake with cinnamon sugar cream cheese frosting - awesome! seriously one of the best cupcakes I've ever had; but my hands down favorite was the blueberry cheesecake cupcake. Oh. My. Gosh. AMAZING.

Look at that yummy goodness! Vanilla cake with a filling of soft blueberry cheesecake, topped off with cream cheese frosting and coarse sugar sprinkles. To die for! I'm a lucky girl :) If you haven't tried Icing on the Cupcake yet, I highly recommend them!
