Family Day!

Bryan and I decided to get away with the boys for the day. It seems that between the new business and the constant remodeling of our home we never get time to just be together as a family. So we packed up the guys and headed to Rutherfordton to KidSenses...the neatest place to take your kids. The boys favorite part was the fire truck but there is so much more than that for them to do. We had a great day and I know we will be taking them back again...they love it. Here are some more pictures of the day. Michael enjoying the fire truck.

Daddy and Michael were two hungry guys.
Walking back with buddy...they wanted to hold hands which is so unusual but it was really sweet.

OUCH!!

Today Michael had his first major boo-boo, and I am sure that this is just the beginning because I have two wild guys. Michael and Wilson were with Bryan up at Memaw and Deedaa Cates' house. I had to go to my little job for a couple of hours. Evidently Michael was running through the grass and was heading for the driveway. He lost his footing where the grass meets the pavement and made major contact with the road...poor little fellow. I am sure I would have cried along with him if I had been there. He is such a trooper though. Michael has a fascination with boo-boos and loves to tell you all about little ones that he gets so this should provide him with a lot to talk about. We will probably go see Dr. Whalley tomorrow just to make sure everything is nice and clean. I hope it heals quickly.

Peekaboo!

Today when I asked Wilson to pick up his toys he got really upset about it, so he jumped in the bin to keep me from cleaning up...didn't work, but I did catch some cute pictures. Oh where, oh were is Wilson?
Peekaboo!!!!!!!!!

Happy Mother's Day

I just wanted to wish all the dear mothers in my life a very Happy Mother's Day. My day was not quite the day I was expecting but I was being a mother so that is what counts. Michael woke up with a tummy bug and after a couple times throwing up we headed to the doctor. After a shot and a prick on the finger he was back to himself. We spent the rest of the day inside just watching cartoons and reading books. It was still a great day just being able to hang out with all my guys. Wish I could see all of you on this Mother's Day. You are all role models for me and I love everyone of you. My mom and dad, aka Grandma (Meemaw or Moomaw) and Poppa Claus with all their grandkids...and all because two people fell in love!

And to all of my sisters...you are my best friends and the best mothers in the world, I love you all.

Going to Gastonia

Today we headed to Gastonia since Bryan was busy doing the curbside pickup. We had a great visit with my sis Cindy and all the Massey's. They took Wilson, Michael and I to the Whitewater Center so we could actually see the place and see my niece Emily who is working there this summer while she is home from Carolina. We had a great day and the boys were officially pooped out from all the fun. Wilson climbing on some rocks at the Whitewater Center. Uncle Chris is spotting him.

Andrew and Michael playing the guitar...Michael would rather beat on it like a drum.

They do get along...Erin and her favorite brother Andrew.

Jillian Comes to Visit!

Since my sis Kerry had to get her hair cut and colored this afternoon her daughter Jillian came to our house to play with Wilson and Michael. The boys were so excited, they love all their cousins so much. I have decided that I want Jillian to come all the time. She is great with Wilson and Michael and cleans up after them all day. What a great helper. Here are some pictures of Jillian playing with playdough with Michael and Wilson. We missed Allison, hope you are feeling better. Wilson, Jillian and Michael making snakes!
I can always count on pretty Jillian to look...Wilson and Michael not so much.

Bubbles!!!!!!

Wilson and Michael discovered that if they splash around enough in the tub they can make a whole lot of bubbles. Bryan caught a couple of pictures of them playing in the suds. Michael and Wilson buried in the bubbles.
Michael says he is Santa Claus.
