Haircut

It was time....it's been time for quite a while. Jamie didn't want it cut, but after I told him it could be a mohawk too, then he was ok with it. I think he looks SO handsome. My sweet little guy.

Here's a sweet moment I caught from last nights Duck game.

I See A Future Here...

Not A Baby Anymore

My baby turned ONE! Where did that year go? Man, it sure went a million times faster than it did with Toby. A year ago this is what my little dude looked like...


And now he looks like this...

Is this normal? It sure doesn't seem normal...a child should not grow this much in ONE year. He is jabbering, whining, trying to walk, throwing fits, and still melting our hearts. Life needs to slow on down, I don't want to miss another second with this guy.


Now I would like to welcome you to Buddy Jacks birthday party! Most of the Wright family was able to drive up for a couple hours to celebrate with us, and a few amazing friends of ours. Jack was absolutely spoiled. He (and Toby) loved it.

Afternoon Drive

Sometimes we just need to be adventurous and throw all caution to the wind. A few weekends ago we were feeling like that, like having kids has 'changed us' (in a bad way), and that we weren't fun anymore. So after church we had no plans, we put the boys down for their nap and right then decided that we need to get away and have some fun. So we did. We packed up the diaper bag, extra pair of clothes for the dudes, some shovels and hit the road as soon as they awoke. And I am so thankful we did. The boys did GREAT and seemed to love the spur of the moment trip. We all had a absolute blast.


Jack looks so serious in all of these, but trust me,
he was L-O-V-I-N-G it!

Beautiful, perfect day in Seaside.

Oh man. Internally I was screaming 'Don't do it Jamie!!!!' But I'm glad he did, Jack enjoyed the little puddles and picking up the sand with those chubby little hands.

The mess. And yes, he even likes the taste of sand. Wonderful.

Toby flinging the sand in the air, and digging a monster hole with Dada. Can you see that little remnant of my baby behind all of that sand? Yeah...he was covered.


Proud owner of a ton of nasty seagull feathers.


And this is my favorite part, no trip to Seaside is complete without a meal at Pig N' Pancake. This was the first time that Toby has actually been old enough to enjoy some food here. And I am absolutely positive that this is the most he's ever eaten in one sitting. Seriously, he doesn't normally eat. Jamie and I joke that if we didn't force him to, then he would never eat. Not this day. That monster plate of pancakes you see? Well, he ate about all of them (minus 3, that went to Dada)and could have eaten more when he finished.

Mother and son enjoying our yummy food :) Four happy hearts and tummy's for sure. Man are we blessed.
