Mommy/Sons Smokey Row Date Nights

I had started a tradition with Beau a few years ago to always go to Smokey Row on Friday's after school.  After having Baine we got a little busy.  So we made sure to start it up again this year, and I LOVE taking both boys :)  Beau always runs in to pick out his favorite ice-cream, and even "asks" Baine if he likes the flavor.  They actually are so well behaved and I love this date time with them.  Beau even knows to open the door for ladies and use proper manners now :)

Caged Monkey at Halloween

This year for Halloween was a little chaotic.  Baine goes to bed at 6pm, so he was not able to go Trick or Treating.  I stayed home with Baine, and Joe took Beau around town :)  I guess Daddy forgot to take pictures ;) 

I did bring Baine for a few minutes to the Halloween party at church a few weeks ago.  Baine was a monkey this year, and we found it fitting to put him in Banx and Bond's cage for their circus theme :)

Beau's Pre School Field Trips

Beau absolutely loves school. He is always excited to go to Ms. Richelle's and learn from her.  He knows how to spell his name, can write his name, can write most letters in the alphabet and recognize them, and is even able to color inside the lines now.  Ms. Richelle has been phenomenal with him, and I am so grateful.  This year they have gone on a field trip to the First Station, and to Autumn Acres.  They even had a Halloween party at school :)

New "Old" Toy

Grandpa Scott fixed up one of Joe's old toys for Beau, and Beau has not stopped talking about it!  He was so excited to go to Grandma and Grandpa's the other day to play with it :)  Next Baine will be trying to ride on it!

No Words

There are no words to describe the moods of the children in this picture ;)  I found it today, and had to make sure I saved it! :)

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 :)
