Mother's Day

Mother's Day at our house was a very nice day to play outside. Brian treated Sue and I to steak and lobster tails on the grill. It was wonderful! I think the boy are trying to hide from me and my new camera!

Boys being boys:

Gebee enjoying the nice weather and the boys running wild.

Kids, don't try this at home.

Ethan loves to try and catch the bubbles!

What a handsome boy -- we have been working on how to smile for the camera!

There will be many more posts very soon, as I have time to finally get all the pictures off my new camera!

MMMM....Can you taste the sweetness?

The boys and I went on an adventure today. We went to a local strawberry patch. I would have like for us to pick our own strawberries this year; but, due the way that Ethan smashes his food at the table, I thought that one more year of getting the pre-picked ones was a good idea. It is a great system for those who do not want to pick for them selves -- you call a head and order and pay a little extra a gallon. We took Papaw along for the ride -- and a few berries, of course!

Checking out all the seeds on strawberries and looking at how big they are.

Can't you just taste the sweetness???

Do you think that I will be able to get these boys to part with some of the berries tomorrow to share with Gebee and Uncle Evan??? Benjamin may start rationing them in the morning.

I promise that I will stop talking about my new camera after this, but I really love my new camera and the very cool, quality pictures it takes.

A Trip ITP (Inside the Perimeter)

Brian has been traveling a lot for work. When that happens, Ethan like to "wurk in new office" and he tells us that he is on the phone calling Mr. Carlos (Brian's boss).

Yesterday, we spent the afternoon hanging out with Uncle Evan and Nate. We went to the Atlanta Botanical Gardens and the boys loved the children's garden. Yes, their cheeks are red from the heat -- it was 90 and muggy! Maybe we skipped Spring all together!

A giant watering can -- perhaps this is how they tend to all the flowers in a drought!

Uncle Evan having a froggy good time!

Thanks Uncle Evan and Nate for a great afternoon -- they boys slept well last night (until 4 am when the thunder and lighting started -- but that's another story!)

Oh, and all of these wonderful pictures were taken with my new camera - I really do love it!

New Toy

Surprise Mommy!

The boys and Brian surprised me with a new camera for Mother's day and my birthday -- what a surprise it was. We had some family visiting over Easter and I was able to try out the camera we had been talking about getting. We got a new camera that will allow me to take action shots of the boys - no more blurs running by me! Here is one of the boys in the tub -- I can't resist naked babies!

Now, on to the really cool pictures. The boys love to run to Brian and have him throw them up in the air -- here are some great shots with my new camera -- The camera takes 3.7 shots a second!

No daddys (or children) were harmed in the making of this post.

Singin' in the Rain

It rained and rained and rained here for the last day and half. The boys were so scared of the thunder and lighting. Once the thunder and lighting stopped, the boys wanted to take their paraguas (spanish for umbrella -- we are working hard on spanish) outside!

Wild, Wacky Wednesday

Something to brighten your day -- you will need to turn the sound off on the music to hear what the boys are saying!

Weekend In Review

We had a fun weekend. The weather was great here. On Saturday we went to a Trout Fish Hatchery near us. We saw thousands of trout in various sizes. The boys loved looking at them. Then we went on a 15 minute hike through "the woodlands" (as Benjamin calls the woods).

Today, we went to the Southeastern Railways Museum for Caboose Day. Papaw joined us. The boys loves trains and we thought this would be a fun adventure! As you can see, Ethan jumped in all the trains and loved it.

Papaw, Ethan and Brian rode in the caboose of a real train. Benjamin and I stayed at the station and took pictures.

It took Benjamin a while to warm to the idea of getting on a train -- he was worried that it was going to move. Finally, he realized that they were stationary.

Stay tuned later in the week for Ethan's Birthday and Easter.......
