Sleeping Beauty

I stayed home with the kids on Friday because Sammy had a cough. It took me a while to coax Drew into taking a nap. This is how I found him.

He is just precious to me. Drew will give every excuse in the world as to why he doesn't need to go to sleep - but once he gets there he really does seem to enjoy himself.

Watching my boys sleep is truly one of my favorite past times. They will not be little forever - I'm not sure that it would be normal to watch my sons sleep when they're grown. We'll see though - if I'm still blogging then maybe I'll have an answer.

My Samuel is One!!!

He sure is happy about being one! He hasn't had a cake yet because we wanted to wait for his birthday party... I couldn't get him to hold still for pictures but what I love is that these show his true personality!

He is still a baby in my eyes - always will be!

ARRRRRR......

Drew won this Pirate hat at Navilleton Picnic last Sunday while playing in the ring toss booth. I'm still not sure how he did it... He couldn't exactly get the hang of tossing those rings but the last one landed on the little thingy and he was so proud to pick his prize.

Jason came over and helped him make a "peg leg"... We're really excited about Halloween this year. Both boys are going to be Pirates - I can't wait for Drew to really get to wear that hat!

Sammy & Manny

It seems that Samuel made a new friend... Greg, Clarissa and James got a new Chocolate Lab and he is soooo cute and he is so interested in Sammy.

Sammy loved to hug and cuddle Manny - Manny liked to hug and cuddle Samuel.

It was so precious. Sammy would just hug and kiss him - all I heard was "awwwwwwwwwwwww" and Sammy would kiss him and pat his back.

There were three or four other babies there but Sam made friends with the dog.

John Deere...

Drew loves cutting the grass with his dad. Safety issues make me a little nervous but I sure do love watching those two smile together.

Brandon and Drew definitely have a unique father and son bond. I'm so proud of them!

Nothin Cuter....

There's nothing cuter than a baby boy in the bath tub... Well, maybe there is - who doesn't love to see a cute baby butt in the bathtub???

Samuel is doomed! Wait until he brings his first girlfriend home!

Another Peek....

Here's my couch... Not all that great as it is obviously a "slipcover". What I really wanted to show you was the painting above the couch. I have been stalking that thing for 3 weeks! I went to the Goodwill three different times. The first two, that painting had a $15 sticker on it. I told myself that if I went a third time and it was still there, I would use my beloved "$10" off preferred customer coupon. Needless to say, last Saturday, I brought it home with me. Its a hung a little high but I'll just have to have Brandon move it down.




This shelf came into my marriage with Brandon. I pulled it out of the basement "as is" and decorated it with some of my favorite photos and some other items that I've been collecting for a while - all purchased at Goodwill! The cross above the shelf was a $2 good will special! Not bad huh?
