Happy birthday, Chase!

On Saturday, we went to Chase Gapen's 2nd birthday party. It was CARS themed and every detail was perfect. Erin is the best party planner ever. I joke with her, but I am amazed at how creative and detailed she is with any party she puts together. The birthday boy was precious and all of the kiddos had a blast!

This was the gift table. I love the banner!

This was the adorable cake.

The sweet birthday boy!

Enjoying McQueen with his Lala.

My sweet boys loved the cake also! Love my little Will. He looks like such a big boy now!!!

And my little spitfire enjoyed his cake and ice cream also! Love that sweet face!

Chase opening his gift from Will and Carter, with assistance from his sweet big brother.

His precious momma helped him check it out. So sweet.

The boys really liked Chase's new McQueen car

Tina and Knox... how cute are they?

Thanks for including us at your fun party, Chase! You are one adorable and precious little 2 year old!

Saturday fun

Since the cold weather hit, me and the boys have had cabin fever! When I found out that it would be in the 50's and sunny on Saturday, I decided that we must get out to the park and get some bottled up energy out! It was SO windy, but we had a great afternoon playing!

Carter bug in the bubble.
My sweet boys. Eddie straightened Carter's hair this weekend. I liked it, but in my humble opinion, it is much cuter curly :).

Will loves the slides and sandbox at the park.

And he is a little monkey... he climbed this a dozen times!

Carter knows how to impress the ladies already. This little girl followed him around while we were there.

Will drew circles and wrote his letters with a stick in the sand.

Okay, can we say CUTIE?! Love his blue eyes and adorable face.

How adorable is this kid? He has turned into such a sweet and handsome little boy.

When daddy cooked that night, he took time out to play with Will. They have so much fun together.

The boys love to get in the fridge themselves now, which kind of drives me crazy, but I guess it is part of growing up. I personally miss doing everything for them :).

Daddy captured Carter's meltdown over yogurt. Notice the hair curled up by the end of the day :).

We had such a fun day... love all of my boys to pieces!

Happy New Year 2012

We went to the Gapens for NYE and had a blast with them and the Pollan family. We have been for the past few years and they know how to show us a good time and always keep our little guys entertained. We played, ate pizza, shot fireworks and ate smores. To say the least, the kiddos were in heaven! Thanks so much for having us.



Will shot a Roman candle with Eddie and I missed getting a picture :(. It was the only firework that he wanted to shoot that night, but he had fun watching. Carter shot a few of them and loved every minute.


Here he is getting ready.




Having a blast with his daddy :). Eddie said he jumped every time one came out the first time.

Daddy and Carter bug

My cute little Will playing in the "castle", as he called it.

Reed taught Will how to deer hunt :). He and Chase were such sweet boys to Will and Carter.

When Ella came out to play, Will was a gentleman and pulled her around on the dozer. She is beautiful!

Getting marshmallows ready for smores :)

How cute is this kiddo?!

I love smores!

All of the kiddos... it was the best shot I could get!

How sweet is this?!

Reed showing all of the kiddos how it's done!

Ashley teaching the little ones how to use noisemakers. They were a hit.

Fun times!

Pumped up on Chocolate! Love my little doll!

The next day, the boys and I headed to Booneville.

The Anglin fam gave the boys some really awesome books. They are Cars and Toy Story and they are printed stories about Will and Carter. It was a precious idea. Thanks so much!

Sweet little Brylin balance a slap bracelet on his head.

Doll face!

Aunt Lala bought the kiddos some fireworks.

I could snuggle with this handsome little lovebug anytime! Love my Will :)

Enjoying the show. They got up shortly after this and Carter told me his "booty" was cold!

Carter woke up for several days after and asked when he could shoot fireworks again :). We had fun ringing in the new year. We look forward to another wonderful and blessed year and wish the same for our amazing family and friends :)! Happy 2012!!!
