BIGGER BOYS!

Well, they "talked me into it!" They convinced me we should shop for big boy underwear! We went to the mall Tuesday night and they chose Elmo underwear (over Tow Mater and Mickey Mouse)! Wednesday morning I had it washed and ready to wear! I put two Elmo with fire trucks and two Elmo with farms on the stool to let them choose which to wear!
Carson chose Elmo with the fire truck!

Cade chose Elmo with the farm!

They were so excited! Thrilled! And I never would have thought I'd be so excited about them staying dry all day, but I was thrilled, too! When I called halfway through the day, they said the boys had done great telling them when they had to go, and when I got there to pick them up, they said no accidents (even stayed dry at nap)! And success with being at home tonight and going to church! So I have them going to bed with big boy underwear on - their choice! I'm so proud of my boys!

Big Boys!

Sunday morning, Carson and Cade think they're so big now that they get to sit on barstools sometimes!
And they're drinking from big boy cups, and it's tea! What's up with this Mommy - I'm actually letting them grow up!

Here's Children's Church on Sunday!

Carson and Cade are on either side of Mrs. Tara!

I figured I should take pictures of what a cute crowd this is while I had my camera handy and wasn't teaching!

Grandma and Grandpa came for Dinner!

We rearranged the deck furniture after putting some more together! I think our deck is full now! Cade and Carson sit with Daddy for a cookie snack after nap!
They like sitting at the new table! Carson planned out who was going to sit where for our dinner!

Daddy cooked while the boys played! He made a rotisserie chicken! It was yummy!

Carson and Cade show how functional the new couches are on the deck!

Grandma and Grandpa get ready to eat!

Cade and Carson love the sandbox - they had two baths this day!

The deck is full now!

I love the new sofa and loveseat!

And the table is so comfy, too!

Mackenzie's B-day Party!

Our sweet little girl friend Mackenzie turned 3, and we had a blast celebrating with her at her party! They had sand and several pools set up for beachy play. Here's our cousin Austin sliding into a little pool!
Carson drove as Cade carefully kept the water in the pot (for some crazy reason), and yes, they're in a Barbie Jeep!

Cade drove Mackenzie around!

The birthday girl played in the sand with Carson!

We had such a great time at her "beach" themed party!

The latest softball game!

They found that huge pipe again!

Alison and baby Rylee have fun watching Justin while Tara and baby Emilee have fun watching Brandon!

Papa and Bramma enjoy the game with Cade and Carson!
