Snuggles With My Boys

Beau and Baine, especially Beau, are in a cuddle stage right now.  Baine only likes to cuddle if he has his favorite anchor blanket :).  Beau sat on my lap while we watched ELF, and it was the best feeling.  I love these moments with the boys and I just want time to slow down!

First Snow of Winter

A couple of weeks ago we had our first snow for winter. Beau was so excited! He loves to be outside, and definitely doesn't mind the cold (he does NOT get that from me!) Beau and I played outside all weekend having snowball fights, making snow angels, and attempting to make a snowman.

Baine's 1st Hair Cut

It was indeed that time that Baine needed a haircut.  He did great for it :)  It just shows me that he is most certainly still my "baby" because in order to cut his hair, I held him in my arms and rocked him gently while he drank a bottle so Amy could cut his hair.  He kept touching his head after his haircut.  It was almost like he was asking "Hey, where did all of my hair go?!"

OMS Fun Night

Last week we had Fun Night at school.  Beau loves coming to these so he can play games and dance with all of the "big kids".  Beau and Mia were joined at the hip that night and even followed one of my students around all night :)  I love seeing Beau interact at school.  It makes me anxious to see him walk the halls in just a few years---it will be here before I know it! :(

Papa and She-She's Helpers

I LOVE this picture :)

Beau and Baine were big helpers at Papa and She-She's.  Beau brought this tools to help Papa remodel the master bedroom, and even helped She-She make homemade pizza.  Baine wanted in on the action, but clearly is too young yet :)

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 :)
