The Great Outdoors

Yesterday we had very strange weather for February. I think the high was around 70. This time last year Mom was getting ready to come up here early because we were going to get a lot of snow and I was afraid I might go into labor and she might not be able to catch a flight. We did get the snow but I did not go into labor early. Anyways yesterday we played outside all day. Jacob needed some good ole fresh air and come to think of it so did me and Tucker. It was such a nice day and the rain didn't even come until late last night. It is cooler today and now they are predicting snow on Sunday. Good things always come to an end!

Playdate

This past weekend Johnny went down to Tampa for a quick trip so we decided to stay here and just chill out. Instead of being bored out of mind on Monday I got together a playdate for all the stay at home moms at church. We have a lot of moms that don't work but Monday wasn't the best day for a lot them so I only had about 5 moms that could come. It was really the perfect amount of moms/babies. We had sandwiches and dip and the kiddos had peanut butter and jelly. The older kids played downstairs in the playroom and the younger kids stayed upstairs and had fun with the walker wagon that Vycki got the boys. It was so nice to spend the day with Christian moms and get to know them better. I am really looking forward to doing this more often. Johnny made it back home safe and sound. Beau on the other hand didn't make it back due to a really bad stomach virus. I just hope we don't all get it.








This is Ashton. He is the newest additon at church.




Jacob is like ok let me take over.



Hang on Ty!






Ok, let me and Tucker show you all how its done.

Sorry Ty I guess you can just play with the beads.

Come on Brooks, you can do it!

Thank you Nana

For Christmas Nana got the boys this cute little radio flyer walker wagon. It was the perfect gift for both boys to enjoy. Since we flew home we were not able to bring the wagon with us so Nana had it shipped to the boys this week and boy are they enjoying it. Tucker prefers to push Daisy around and Jacob prefers to push his big brother around. Thank You Nana!



Ok Daisy lets go!


Daisy is not really sure what is going on


Trust me I do this all the time.


Ok everybody its Jacobs turn!



Nothing better than brothers having fun together.

Growing up with Dogs

I have always loved dogs. My first dog was a mutt named "Tramp" and another dog we had was a weeny dog named "Jake". A few years after Johnny and I were married we decided to get a dog and then a year later we decided to get one more. Since the boys were born they have only known life with dogs. They have never shown any fear towards the dogs and have always been very interested in them. I can't stand to see kids that are afraid of dogs. I know some dogs are scary but I am so glad that my kids have Bailey and Daisy to play with. Just in the past few weeks Jacob has really taken an interest in the dogs, especially Bailey. Jacob figured out which toy Bailey really likes and started playing with him. Bailey was growling and Jacob just started laughing at him. I must admit the dogs do get on nerves at times but I am so glad the boys have them.

Christmas with the Thomas'

Christmas Eve we went to stay with Johnny's mom . I woke up Christmas morning and came downstairs to see that Tucker had got up on his own and was helping Nana make her yummy yeast rolls.

Tucker was so proud of himself.

We went to Nana and Papa Thomas house for breakfast and to open more gifts.
