Nana and Bopa's names are called out all the time now!

Sunday Morning Swedish Pancakes came with entertainment this day!

Cade, Daddy, and Carson made sure to smile for the camera!

Carson, Bopa, Cade, and Nana play with toys in the church nursery!

Nana and Bopa Play!

Cade and Carson were glad to have Nana and Bopa (yes, Bopa's name changed from Papa to Bopa due to Suzi's new name for him which was entertaining as the boys tried to switch over - Carson even called him PapaBopa one time) come last weekend. They kept them all day Friday for us since Day Care was closed. I forgot to leave the camera with them, but they were funny talking about the things they wished they could've taken pictures of. Nana and Bopa thought it was so cute that Cade and Carson came down the hall heading to the kitchen for breakfast holding hands! They made such a big deal about how cute it was that Cade and Carson turned around and went back to the nursery to do it again just for the attention!

Of course I found them with these new toys when I got home - Cade is holding the Teddy bear that Carson picked out and Carson is super attached to ("My Dog") a puppy (not pictured) that Cade picked out while shopping with Nana and Bopa.

Carson loves to say, "C'mon Nana!" When she asks where he's going, he says: "To the Top!"
Time for Dinner Friday night!
Playing on the deck after dinner!

Nana and Cade are spinning around!

Carson, Cade, and Daddy are racing!

Bopa and Nana got called over to race, too!
Even Mommy got to race - some little guys liked to get head starts!

Carson loves to climb any of Daddy's ladders!

Cade and Carson love to read books with Nana!

Bath time was fun as always!

Saturday morning Nana and Bopa gave the boys new books and clothes which they wanted to wear right away! Way to go to Nana and Bopa for washing them before bringing them to the boys!

Bopa helps Carson get dressed!

Ready to go!

And here we are looking at the fish in the tank at Bass Pro Shops!

Silly boys!

Cade and Carson are enjoying their cheeseburgers at the Seafood Hut! With their beloved ketchup!

Nana, Cade, Carson, and Bopa say cheese!

Fun Rides!

Taking babies to ride Dumbo 6 times before turning one and a half leads to this:
They have to ride any time they see fun rides!

We're attempting a start at catching up from the last 2 weeks of not posting - here's Carson in the blue car and Cade in the yellow car at the mall three Friday nights ago. That weekend we went to Daddy's 10 year high school reunion on Saturday night while the boys spent the night with Grandma and Grandpa.

I'll be right back, ya'll!

That's one of Carson's favorite things to say! Yes, my crazy boys are putting 5 word sentences together already. (Most of their sentences are more like: "Shoes, Mama!" or "Where Daddy go?" or "Ope da doe." which I have mentioned on here before.) He has been saying the "be right back" part for a while now which I thought he got from me b/c I say it when I have to run and grab something and run right back. Well, he's added ya'll now which I found out it's actually from Mrs. Charlie (whom he calls Mrs. Chargie) saying that to the children when she has to go out of the room and leave them with Mrs. Debbie. They pick up on everything!

Carson, Mommy, and Cade are about to read our Bible Story before bed tonight! We read about David and Goliath tonight! It's fun to teach them so early about how great it is to have God on our side - no matter our size - God is big enough to take care of us!

Fun at Riverbanks Zoo!

We piled into the van with Niccole, Michael, and Alex on Saturday morning! Niccole was a great van-mom (treking back and forth from the passenger seat to the DVD player, twins, and her boys whenever needed)! You never realize how much you do it until you have to see someone else doing it for you! She brought lots of yummy snacks, entertaining movies, and toys! You'd think she was a children's SLP instead of adults'.

Niccole, Alex, Michael, Carson, and Cade are very entertained by those loud, swinging monkeys!

Carson, Mommy, and Cade on the elephants!

Everybody likes the kangaroos!

Michael is going up!

Carson is still eating his corndog, and Cade is just trying to chew up everything in his mouth so they can go play, too!

Cade is going up by way of the stairs while Carson is attempting to go up the slide (and keeps sliding down in the process)!

Cade loves to steer!

Niccole, Michael, and Carson are playing!

Niccole, Michael, and Alex really liked the giraffes!

I was saying the "o" in "Smile at Niccole!"

Cade and Carson absolutely loved Mommy's favorite animal! (Well, Cade was amazed and couldn't leave the side of the glass, but Carson was so glad to be out of the stroller that he was all over the place in there!

Chase those penguins!

Climb those rocks!

I thought this picture was so cute! Too bad that wasn't Alex sitting right there! It was hard to get shots of them all together!

Time for a diaper change before we hit the road! What a great trip! It really couldn't have been any more perfect - the weather was so beautiful, 4 boys under 5 were so good, and all the animals were so much fun!
