Boys Will Be Boys

We've had the most delightful day! The weather here in Kentucky is absolutely amazing and we are taking full advantage. We've had a busy but relaxing day running to Home Depot, eating lunch at Pizza Hut and going to Emma Kate and Macy's birthday party.





I just had to share this picture because it really captured the three of them. True to form, Little Miss Priss Pot Emma Kate, it totally cheesing it for the camera, massive bow and all. Then there is Macy, bowless and completely unimpressed with the idea of taking pictures....so sassy that one! And of course Eli is off in left field somewhere totally focused and anything but sitting still! I just love those sweet girls and hope if I ever have a daughter she will be as sweet and adorable.



But little boys are plenty fun as well just take a look at the rest of our afternoon....







We came home from the party and Eli was "helping" Eric in the back yard. I went inside to grab something and came back out to find Eli covered in mud. He had found a puddle obviously perfect for any 19 month old boy to use as a basketball goal. Only when he went to "rebound" he fell in and this was the end result.




Oh my! How did he even know what a mud-puddle was? Eric and I certainly don't tromp around in them! It's a God-given, adventure seeking, little boy instinct!





So, I did what any boy momma would do. I stripped him down to his diaper fed him dinner and scrubbed extra good behind his ears before bed.


Boys will be boys and I'm telling you, I'd LOVE another one...SOME DAY!!

Hit Me With Your Best Shot

Have I ever told you that Eli loves sports?  Ha!  I look back at him with baseballs and basketballs at 18 months old ,and it blows my mind that he's still so interested.   The thing is, he doesn't discriminate.  Baseball, basketball, football, soccer...you name it, we play it! Not only do we play sports all day, we also have to watch certain videos on Youtube.   We watch "Boys of Fall," while wearing a football helmet. We watch Alabama's "Cheap Seats,"  John Fogerty's"Centerfield," and Kenny Rogers,  "The Greatest" while holding a bat, carrying a ball, and wearing a batting helmet. And now, thanks to Space Jam, we have to listen to the movie sound track while shooting hoops!  That's a blast from the past! He hasn't found a song about soccer or golf...YET! And with all that playing, who has time to run inside for a potty break?  Not this boy! I never thought

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our yard is basically an o
