365.....

days ago we sat in an office in Cary and signed a mound of papers so that..... we could once again be home owners!!
It is so hard to believe that we have already lived in our house for a year. We love our house and the memories that we have made, looking forward to creating many more this 2nd year!

Reason # 5,190,608......

I love my husband. He brings me flowers and on top of that gets a great picture of my boys with them!

Hot & Ready!

While we were at the beach the new Krispy Kreme in Wake Forest opened up! Its a Hot & Ready store!! So of course we made it one of our first stop Monday morning to give it a try.The boys were excited about their chocolate doughnutsLook at that excitment! MMMM Good! Love those chubby cheeks and big ol' brown eyes!Watching the doughnuts come off of the beltbut.....of course we celebrated by having doughnuts one morning at the beach =)

As he takes a bite...how many doughnuts did we get??
We have been fans of dalight doughnuts but I must say we may be in trouble now that Krispy Kreme has arrived in Wake Forest!

A Little Extra Fun~

I took Christian with me to run a few errands Sunday one of our stops was the mall. We had never been to kidfest I had seen signs about it but never knew exactly what it was. As we pulled into the parking lot we saw all kinds of fun things going on...bounce houses, side walk chalk, a man making balloon animals, face painting, train rides and more. We went over and stopped for a few minutes. Here are a couple of shots of the fun Christian had.

He was beside himeself with excitment about riding the train the first car looked like Thomas! Here he is already to go! He made it very clear he was riding by himself.
Heading out The whole train- Christian is in the red car in the back.The balloon man he asked Christian what he wanted him to make and right away he said an orange dog.
and an orange dog is what he got =) The sad part was when it popped and we had to get back in line for another 20 minutes to get a new one! It was a lot of fun and we now know that it happens every second and fourth Sunday through Septemeber. It is all FREE so you can bet we will be going back again! If you have never been you should try it.

Wordless Wednesday~

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!

We got back from the beach on Saturday and then celebrated Ed's Birthday on Sunday. I wont say how how OLD he is.....

Daddy and his boys after church (love how you can see how tan they are from the beach).

Daddy's cake Christian picked it out- (It was yummy but I must say those candles were horrible by the time I got them all lit the first ones were melting all over the cake)
Why would he be smiling like this?? Only because one of his gifts was for a 1hr. massage and he is SO EXCITED! Enjoying some cake!

The Birthday Man

and he did enjoy his cake too but this is his attitude face.... =)

We hope that you had a great Birthday Daddy!! We love you and are so thankful for all you do for us!

Here is a short video of the boys jumping in the pool while we were at the beach. So glad they are water babies!!

Favorite Quotes

Christian said two of the cutest things today:

The family that we are at the beach with arrived this afternoon and Christian said lets go to the beach you know its 100 miles long

The second was as we were getting ready to put the kids to bed (Benjamin and Christian are sharing a room and Cael is in a room by himself.) Christian stopped and told Cael Benjamin and I are going to be right here in this room just let us know if you need anything at all. Lol so sweet for him to be willing to help.

M. E. S. S. Y.

This boy is super cute and adorable......

BUT....

he can make the biggest mess! There is not a snack

or meal dessert included that he can eat without getting M.E.S.S.Y. SERIOUSLY- you couldn't just use your spoon?!and playing in the dirt...well thats a another whole story =)

but the good news is he cleans up REALLY well! There is just something about this little boy who looks and acts so much like me. Dirty or not I love him to pieces!
