Outside all weekend!


Oh how we love being outside!


These pictures are so stinkin cute- I can't believe he is going to be 2 this month. It's so fun to listen to him talk his own little language, he does the funniest things right now.

I am totally totally totally thankful for the nice weather outside these days! Having a new born in the house and my mr. g running around constantly trying to get his energy out so I am more than thankful for the sunny days. Graham honestly would stay outside day in and out if we let him. He'd go without eating, a diaper change, if we let him just play outside constantly, he would. Yesterday Mike was painting some cabinets he is making for some friends and Graham wanted to play too. Mike thought of a fun idea to get him a roller and a pan of water and he could "paint" too! He thought he was so cool being just like his daddy. I love watching my 2 boys interact, there love is endless!
Awe- this picture totally captures Grahams complete love to be just like his daddy- so excited!
Mommy and Ellie belly stayed inside more than the boys. Us girls spent some great quality time together. With all the yucky yellow pollen that has taken over the south, my sweet little girl has had a cold/cough the whole bit- so I tried to shelter her from all the yellow all weekend. Speaking of- Happy 3 months to Miss Ellie! I woke up this morning fed her and just spent some time holding her. She has been trying to suck on her entire fist recently. I love all the little noises she is starting to make- last night I heard her trying to suck something and she was cooing at the same time. I just laughed out loud and Mike said- "baby r u sleeping, loosing it, r u laughing or crying?" I said listen to that cuteness! Ellie is staying awake more but still sleeping a lot. I am amazed at her ability to sleep from 11pm to 7:30 am already. Mr. G was a different story. I was feeding him every 2 hrs for a longggggggggggggggggggggg time! But at the time I didn't know any different so it wasn't a big deal for us. Last week we went to the doctor and Ellie is now 10 lbs! She's starting to have some precious "chunk" on her legs! I love it! She is loosing some of that her hair in the front so we'll she is she stays dark or goes blondie like g did!


In the midst of having a family- Mike and I always try and have our time together. It's for sure been a lot more challenging recently. But, last night mike said about 10:30 pm-


m: shell let's order a pizza....


s: tonight? right now....
m: yeah- let's stay up all night!

s: babe- you can order a pizza but i can't stay up all night.

m: let's do something fun, different, ya know....

s: ok! but i don't think i can make is past midnight (knowing i have to feed ellie at 11:30 pm anyways).

m: ok- i will be back.....

So Mike left and came back with boneless wings....i laughed so hard...i think he just wanted a snack more than anything! =) I sat in the kitchen with him and laughed as he enjoyed his wings!

Lastly- I love trying to be as good as i can when it comes to buying kids clothes. I am a monogram lover on kids clothes- it's just so sweet. So here's my fun little saver.....I go to walmart and get the garanimal cotton t-shirts. They are $3.50. Then I have someone that monograms for me for $7. I then have a precious summer t for graham and it's only $10.50! A lot of t-shirts at the store are $21- $27 that look like these.....it's a fun gift to give too!
