Pictures for the calendar sister

Can you use the ones on the right side?

Great Weekend

Chris and I had a great night together! We went to the Ribeye Steak House in Champaign. Yummy! Then we went and saw the movie 2012. We both really enjoyed it, although it almost made me come home and get my boys and smother them in motherly love. :) We ended up coming home to spend the night, but mom still kept the boys. It was really relaxing and we both slept really good in our own bed until 10am on Sunday. I can't remember the last time we got to do that. So, it was definetely a wonderful, relaxing time together!

Anniversary Getaway

I'm so excited for tomorrow to get here! Chris and I are are going to Champaign and staying overnight for an early anniversary get away. I love that we do this every year. It is such a much needed time together. Thanks to my mom for keeping the boys!!
On a side note, Joshua turned 5 months old this week. I can't believe how big he is getting and how much more aware of everything he is. Kinley loves to play with (by) him now and try to make him laugh, which he does a lot. It is so sweet to watch, even when he randomly will yell "laugh Joshua"! Too funny. :)

Got Thumb?

3 Years, 4 Months

These are just pictures of the pictures we just got back. :) I have admit I think my boys are pretty cute! Kinley loved getting his picture taken this time and Joshua was a champ too. I can't believe how big they both are! Time goes so fast. Help me Lord to enjoy each moment!

My 3 Year Old

Kinley turned three last Wednesday on the 14th. I can't believe my boy is 3 years old. He is so precious to us and the time has gone so quickly. Here are the top 10 reasons why I love my Kinley boy.
1. His bright blue eyes and big smile
2. The way he makes me laugh with all his antics.
3. The way he loves to "help" right now whatever I'm doing
4. The way he gives "his" Joshua kisses and talks in a high pitched voice to him
5. His excitement when Daddy comes home and his contentment when we are all together.
6. The way he loves his Papas and Grandmas
7. The was he greets me every morning with "Hi Mommy, it's light outside, time to get up!"
8. His love for books and animals.
9. The way he says "Pleeeease"
10. Because he is a special gift from God and I'm so thankful for him!

Crib or Bed?

I am trying to decide if we should put Kinley in a regular bed or keep his crib up for awhile. He has started climbing out of his crib this week. So far it has only been when he is ready to get up in the morning and after his nap. So . . . part of me thinks he is ready for a bed and wouldn't do to bad in it. But . . . we will be moving him into his new room hopefully in the next month or two and I'm not sure I want him to have too many new things all at once. Any suggestions? I also have access to a crib tent and could go that way for awhile too. Decisions, decisions.
