What kids say!

We weren't planning to go to South Carolina this weekend for Easter, because Josh had a job he was going to do all day tomorrow. But, he called me this morning and asked if I wanted to go because he thought he could get that job finished today. So of course I said yes. I told Hayden a few minutes later we were going to go to mimi's and papa's (my mom and dad's) later today so we needed to start cleaning up. He looked at me and asked and gigi's and papaw's (Josh's mom and dad)? and I said yes! He looked at me and said, "Mom, that is amazing!" Haha! He has been using big words lately and I think it's just the cutest thing.

He said something else that was funny this morning. He was laying on the couch watching his cartoons (like he does every morning) and Cayson went over and was talking (babbling) and Hayden said, "Cayson, shhh! I can't concentrate!" Hah!

New read

I haven't been blogging this week, because my free time has been spent reading this...I love to read and I love Jodi Picoult. It's really good so far!

Our day at the park! (Lots of Pictures!)

I haven't posted in awhile, because something happened to my camera lens and I had to send it to Nikon to get it fixed! But, this weekend was so pretty and we took full advantage of it. I'm really hoping the winter weather is gone! I have been wanting to go to this park near our house and get some pictures of the boys, so after Church Sunday, Josh and I got the boys dressed in one of their matching Spring outfits and took them! I can not believe we have not been to this park. We have lived here for 2 1/2 years and this park is only like 3 minutes away from our house and it's so pretty. The playground was crowded so we will probably never go there for the playground since we have another really nice park with about 6 different playground near our house and they aren't near as crowded, but to walk around and take pictures and even have a picnic, this one was perfect!Here's some of my pictures at the park!I was hoping to get more of the two of them, but unfortunately Hayden is my child and all he could worry about was Cayson falling in the pond...even though he was no where near it most of the time and when he was even slightly close, Josh or I were right next to him!

My boys and me!
There were people riding their horses and they stopped and let the kids pet them!
This one makes me laugh! I'm not sure what Hayden was doing.


We had a great time and I think I got some pretty good pictures! I can't believe how old my boys are looking!

Julie and Julia

If you haven't seen this movie and want to and don't like to know the endings(like me) before you watch don't read.
Josh brought this movie home yesterday for us to watch. I wasn't sure I wanted to see it when it first came out, but had mentioned wanting to see it a few days ago since there aren't really any movies out currently that I want to rent. I actually enjoyed it for the most part. It made me hungry though:) I also thought the Julia parts were kind of boring and her voice really bugged me throughout the movie. I also didn't like that Julie never got to actually meet Julia, but overall it was pretty cute. I'm glad I didn't spend the movie to see it in the theater though. Some of those recipes, I really want to try. Josh and I were both salivating over some of those dishes!

We're home!

We are finally home. It seems like forever since we've been here. In fact, Hayden asked me this morning why we were at his house? We have been to Josh's grandmother's, the mountains, Josh's parents and my parent's house in the almost 2 weeks since we left so I guess I can not blame him by wondering why we are back at our house. Anyways, we had a great time, but are happy to be home. We started our Christmas festivities at Josh's grandmother's on the 23 and then left on the 24th around 8:00 pm. We got to Tennessee around 3:00 am on Christmas Morning. My poor mom and papa stayed up waiting on us. We thought both boys would go to sleep immediately upon our arrival. If we had any trouble it would be Hayden since he slept our whole trip, but all we would have to do is put him in the bed with us and he'd be fine. We thought Cayson would lay right down since he was awake most of our trip. Hah! He had other plans and kept his daddy up all night and then slept almost all of Christmas day and so did my poor husband! We had a great, relaxing time in the mountains though and Cayson was fine the rest of the week. We didn't do as much as we normally do, but it was nice to be able to relax and not have anything to do. We left on the 31st (Josh's birthday...He turned 25!) and went to my parents house to spend a few days with them. We always do a big New Year's Day dinner. However, I did not stay awake to ring in the New Year. Hayden and I fell asleep around 11:00 pm and that was just fine with me! Yesterday, we went to the hospital because my papa had a coronary(I think that is the name) cath put in to look at his arteries. We were afraid he was going to have to have bypass surgery, bu the doctor's were able to put stints in instead. He is doing well and we are so thankful he doesn't have to have the bypass surgery and is doing good. While I was at the hospital, my boys went over to Josh's parents to hang out for awhile. Once I was able to see my papa after the procedure and talk to him, I met Josh and we were on our way home. My dear husband turned the heat off though and when we got home it was 50 degrees in our house. So he turned the heat on and we went and ran some errands to let the house warm up some. So we finally got home around 8:30 last night and today I have been trying to get bags unpacked, wash cloths and all that good stuff. I start school back on Thursday and we are going back to SC on Friday for a wedding we have this weekend so I'm trying to get our house in order.

Christmas Travels!

We're heading out today and won't be back until sometime on the 31st. We're going to do Christmas with Josh's family today and tomorrow and then tomorrow night we're driving to Tennessee. My family always rents a cabin at Christmas time so we will be there until the 31st. I am so excited!! We eat and relax all week.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Christmas Card Carousel

This is the first year we've done family Christmas Cards so I'm joining the Christmas Card Carousel here.
We were going to have professional pictures of the boys done this year, but ran out of time so we took them ourselves. I think they turned out pretty good for us doing them ourselves.
