First Day of Preschool

This week the kids started Preschool. Christian was sooo excited to go back. He LOVES his new classes and has 2 wonderful teachers! He is going on Tues. and Thur. 1/2 days. Benjamin also started this year. He is going on Tuesday 1/2day. He is in Christian's class and he also have 2 terrific teachers. We were so suprised when we took him to his class, he went right in and started playing-- there were NO tears HORRAY!! We were a little worried since he has had a hard time in Sunday School but Preschool was a breeze-- he acutally cried when we dropped Christian off on Thursday and he didn't get to stay.

Christian 1st day of preschool

Benjamin he was super excited to go to school! then he stopped and thought did you say school?! I can't believe how grown up he looks in this picture.My boys =)Benjamin following right behind Christian on the way in Christian then decided he should help Benjamin to his classChristian had to take pictures in for his cubbie and the bulletin board--here he is showing Mrs. Peggy his pictures. Working with Mrs. Shelia to put his picture on his cubbie.Benjamin- my heart smiles he is such a happy boy ALL the time! Here he is walking into his class he did stop and hesitate for a minute but then he kept on getting it and went right over to the trucks and started playing!

Can you tell how excited they are?? They both had a SUPER day! We look forward to a great year and hopefully Benjamin will start to enjoy his one on one time with me on Thursdays. As for me I know you are all wondering what I am doing with my time. Tuesday I spent the day at the dermatologist I know fun fun... I went for a rash on my leg which turned out to be Excema but I had to have a procedure done in the office. I had a small spot on my nose and the Dr. took one look at it and said he would advise that I not leave without having it removed. If anyone knows me and my fear of having procedures done in the Dr.'s office then you know that panic set in. Well it only took him about 15minutes to remove the spot. I am now wearing a nice bandaid... and have to wear one for the next 2 weeks to keep it covered. He is sending it off for a biopsy to see if it is skin cancer. I am trying not to worry and trying not to let the big ole bandaid on my nose keep me in to much I mean Christmas isn't that far away I guess I could be practicing to be Ruldolph a little early??! =)

Home Sweet Home!

Sorry to be MIA for so long almost two months!! Things have been a little busy for us. We have been moving.

We have been blessed to once again be homeowners!! =) We bought a house in Rolesville NC only about 8miles from where we were living in Wake Forest. It is a WONDERFUL neighborhood. Our house is amazing it is such a blessing to have all the extra space. It is 3brdm, 2.5bath, livingroom, kitchen with a eat in area, dining room, loft (aka play room), laundry room, and a 2 car garage. We were able to fence in the yard. It was the model home so were were blessed with a lot of extras. We were able to keep a few pieces of artwork, all the curtains, and it came with all the appliances which happen to be stainelss steel to name a few. Here is a picture of the house. I will post more in a few days and yes, there are pictures of the boys to come as well. =)

Wordless Wednesday~

BROTHERS......and Best Friends =)

Sandwiches...

Ice Cream Sandwiches that is....We were at the grocery store and Christian asked for some ice cream. We agreed and let him pick out what he wanted. We ended up with ice cream sandwiches. Here are a few pictures of the boys enjoying them...

I asked Christian to stand in the grass and he went over and sat down

Big Bite he was soooo excited Although this looks like a BIGGER BITE!MMMM GOOD Look at that cute little face-- love it!! Christian was at the very end of his ice cream sandwich and stood up well as you can see he dropped it and then stepped in it. Oh well there were more than 2 in the box. :)

15 Month Check-up

Yesterday I took Benjamin for his 15 month (well 15.5month check-up). He did great!! He weighted in at 28lbs even (85%) 32 3/4"long (85%). He is a big boy but not off the charts like most people think. He is short and stocky. He is such a joy and we are so thankful for him. I can hardly believe that he is already close to 16months old. He is talking more and more everyday and he is no longer walking but running around. He is turning into such a little boy and doesn't take too much from his big brother anymore without fighting back.

Here he is on the scale. I love how he has covered himself up. lol

A close up that is my sweet little baby boy!!

Benjamin we love you to pieces and are sooo blessed that God gave you to us!

Munch with Daddy...

Munch with Daddy as stated by Christian. Today we went and enjoyed lunch with Daddy it was last minute so we picked up Mickey D's. It was a lot of fun and we look forward to doing it a lot more during the summer.

Daddy and his boys enjoying lunch The past week or two Christian has decided he needs to help Benjamin eat here he is feeding him a chicken nugget notice how his mouth is wide open as he is putting it in Benjamin's too funny!

Of course we went in to see Daddy's desk here is Christian checking it all out

Water Babies

We took the boys to the pool for the fist time this year last night. It was fun and both of the boys LOVE the water. It took Christian a few minutes to warm up but then he was full throtle. He has been asking already today Mommy can we go back to the pool you know that big bath tub! Hopefully the next time we will get a few more shots.

Christian was ready to go..He had so much fun.Benjamin could he be any cuter?? I think we are going to have the ladies lined up by the end of summer =) All three of my boys Love 'em! Taking a break Benjamin and Daddy look at that crazy hairOhh check out that yawn I guess the pool did the trick it wore him out!

Charleston~

We went to Charleston SC this past weekend to celebrate Caleb's 4th birthday.

Friday night bath time. I am not sure how much longer we will be able to fit all 4 boys in the tub together!

Look at those long eyelashes and imagine what he will look like with a mustache

Saturday Caleb's birthday party was at Chuck E. Cheese. I think the boys were on overload they had never been before and has a blast! Although I must admit when we got there and Christian met Chuck E. he was not happy at all he had big tears and was ready to go he DID NOT like him at all but once he got into the games he was OK as you can tell. =)
