Best Friends

 Whether they are cuddling in bed watching cartoons, riding around in their truck, or eating popcorn during a movie, these two are inseparable.  Baine completely adores his big brother, and Beau is so patient with him.  I am sure this is short lived ;)

Beau's Craziness

Beau is quite the entertainer lately.  He is 100% into the Avengers right now, and LOVES to dress up as Iron Man or Hulk every single day.  He even likes to combine different super hero costumes :).  When he isn't running around in a cape yelling "Hulk SMASH", he is playing basketball and PIG with daddy.  I am not sure when he decided he liked basketball, but it basically happened overnight.  He always plays a game of PIC at night with Joe before bed.  And when Beau gets a "P", he will start pouting saying "But Daddy, I don't have to pee!!!!"  Even when Beau is sleeping, he is dramatic.  He will be so mad at me in 10 years for the napping photo above :)

Mommy's Boys

 It is a little too early to tell with Baine if he will be a mama's boys, or daddy's boy, but when Beau and Baine are together, they always flock to me :)  I love having them at my feet or on my hip (even on days when I am exhausted).  They are the light of my life, and I cannot imagine what life would be like if I didn't have my boys :)

Day at the Park With Daddy

I have been extremely busy this year at school with coaching and being on multiple committees.  Joe has truly been Mr. Mom for the past few months.  He has been so wonderful with getting the kids ready in the mornings, picking Beau up for preschool, and getting the kids fed/bathed/and in bed on nights when I have to work late. 

Lunch date at the park after preschool

The other week, Joe took the boys to the park for their Daddy/Sons Date Day.  I am bummed I missed it, but the boys had so much fun together.  Beau is truly such a good big brother to Baine.  He helped push him on the swings, and wanted to always play next to Baine at the playground.  Goodness I hope he loves Baine this much forever :)

Beau's Birthday: Part II

Of course we had our own celebration of Beau's birthday at home.  Nana also spoiled Beau on his birthday by treating him to lunch at his favorite, McDonald's.  We had Billy, Ari and Emmy over for Beau's b-day night and Papa and She-She wanted to come over as well.  You are so loved, Beau Pax!  I hope you had a great birthday this year, and we promise to always make them special for you.

Billy teaching Beau how to use his new Bow and Arrow---thanks Billy! ;)

LOVES to wear his new Hulk mask and gloves yelling "Hulk Smash!"

We had Austin and the kids over after Beau's birthday part, and I loved getting the 1 on 1 time with the kiddos!

Haha I just LOVE his school birthday picture :)

Beau's Birthday and Party

Beau wanted to invite his friends to his birthday this year, and he loves the playground at the Nazarene church.  So that is exactly what he got! :)  The party was "really cool" as Beau likes to say.  Beau and his friends all had a great time!  Happy Birthday, Beau-man!

 

Baine wanted to  cheer Beau up since he was pouting about not being able to open presents yet :)
