LG doing Little Rascals for us :)

Nana and Papaw Chittom kept my little monkeys and brought them over when it was done. Carter loved on his Sissy.
The boys had SO much fun going to church with Nana and Papaw. They went to church, ate at McDonalds and went to Wal Mart. They bought Carter these cute Camo house shoes :).

And Will these cowboy boots... that he sleeps with! He wants to be Woody from Toy Story :). He also ended up with the crupe :(, but is feeling much better now! Oh, and he also popped his face on a table when I was trying to take away a balloon :(... tough boy!
It was a great weekend and I enjoyed seeing everyone! Em, you will love being a mother and we wish you all the blessings in the world!!!

Lately

I have been a blog slacker! Momma has been working a lot and Daddy has been taking such great care of our precious little boys. They have loved riding in their "daddy's" truck every morning and afternoon and are just crazy about him. Thank you for all that you do for us!
I thought this picture was sweet. I have no idea what they were looking at, but it must have been interesting.

Our BIG boy who talks our ear off now. He calls us "Mom and Dad" and loves learning about new things, especially shapes. He can now identify square and cross, but circle is still his fave :).
Our sweet litte Carter bug. One night last week when I took him to bed, I prayed with him and he said "Thank God, AMEN"! To say that I was proud is the biggest understatement ever!


We love our sweet little boys!

When Momma is away...

Will gets to dress up and play....



Since I have been working crazy hours, Eddie has had major bonding time with our boys. One night when I came home, this was Will's get-up. (don't judge for the unmade bed :)).




At least they will make for good slide show pictures one day!

Snow Day 2011

Since I was a very small child, I cannot remember getting 5 inches of snow. It was amazing watching it fall on Sunday night and it was just beautiful this morning. I had to work today, but my boss was kind enough to close the office at 4, so that we could get home safely and I took advantage of playing in the snow with the boys. They LOVED it... I hate that we did not get out earlier and that we could have played longer, but Eddie and I were like kids again and loved making the sweet memories with Will and Carter.

Eddie let me take his truck to work today, so that I did not get stuck. I let the boys walk out and look and the snow... Carter just stood there and admired it :).
Annnnd, when we got home, Will COULD NOT WAIT to get outside. Can you tell :)?
He thought it would be a good idea to take his tractor for a spin.
It got stuck eventually, but he enjoyed it while it lasted :).
Carter has been a little under the weather, but he LOVED the snow.
Will and Daddy... Will said, no mo' CHEESE momma (he has a little trouble with his r's :)).
I thought this looked really sweet in black and white. Sweet, sweet brothers having SO MUCH FUN!
Carter was clapping the snow in his gloves.
I thought this was another sweet brother shot...
And that this was a cool action shot... daddy just taught Will how to make and throw a snow ball.
Carter took his gloves off and just wanted to eat the snow. I remember eating snow when I was little...
Snow ball ready to fire :).
As much as I dislike the cold, I LOVED this great afternoon. I had to bribe them with Suckers to get them in the house, but they were freezing!

19 months old

Another month has passed by all too quickly! Carter was19 months old this past Friday... and what a smart, adorable and "tude" filled little guy he is right now. He can say anything... and I mean anything we say. Some of his favorite phrases are, "Hey momma (or whoever he is talking to), it's me", "Thank you food, Amen", "Come on, Will", "I go night-night", "I want snack", and "No, no, no" - this one is definitely my least favorite, and he says it a lot now.

Here are a few pictures:

He doesn't like a booster seat anymore... he wants to sit at the table like a big boy. I let him eat his breakfast there last Sunday and he was one happy little guy. He still likes to snuggle with his momma after a nap or when he wakes up in the morning and I eat it up. This day, I was fortunate enough to have two snuggly little boys :).


He loves to be daddy's little helper... Papaw Chittom and Daddy were putting together a workbench for our garage and Carter wanted to be out there so bad. Nana put this chair, so he could get a closer look :).

Christmas Day 2010

Christmas day was SO fun! The boys enjoyed playing with one another so much; it was just precious to watch. Will would find some way to include Carter while he played with each new toy that morning. Eddie and I were surprised that they did not dig in immediately, but they eventually got really excited. Here are some pictures:

Santa was pretty good to my boys... Aunt Jessica bought them the Toy Story 3 movie, and Will has really found a bond with Buzz and Woody. This made him very exicted about his Toy Story Tricycle. The tricycles were actually from his Papaw and Mammaw Stennett, but Santa left them at our house.

Before Will went for his toys, he had to vacuum; maybe he thought the rug was dirty?!?! Carter was a sleepy little bug.
But, Carter finally livened up and went for the tricycle.

And, he really loved his farm. He started saying "Moo" :)
Will really loved his John Deere tractor.

But... they both still really love these tricycles.
I was not able to get any action shots of the stockings b/c I was helping. but, they were really excited to see suckers. Who needs breakfast?
Will also received a really cool Imaginext helicopter. Daddy and Momma have enjoyed teaching him how to send his rescue men down the copter. He also loves to make the propellers go really fast :).
He also loved Carter's John Deere Tractor flashlight. He was telling Eddie and I "I turn the flashlight on" :).
The boys also received brooms from Santa. Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but my boys are cleaning machines. Vacuum cleaners, brooms, mops... they love it all. Carter has really played with his and even helped his daddy sweep the kitchen today.


After the thrill of presents was over, we let the boys help us take the balls off of the Christmas tree. This is something Carter has dreamed of all month :). They did a great job and had so much fun!
After lunch, we headed to Booneville to celebrate Christmas with our immediate family, the Anglins and the Horns. It was great food and it was so nice to have so many teenagers to run around and play with our kiddos :)
My precious family... what a great Christmas that we had this year! I actually uploaded this one out of order, since it was after the boys got a bath.

Will and Carter assisted Papaw Stennett with his boot dryers. What some sweet little helpers.
Carter received an awesome new power drill from Papaw and Mammaw. They bought Will a new saw also. The boys can now assist their daddy with major repairs :).
My beautiful mother opening her gift.
Portia, Zoe Beth, Jalan, Sissy and Colton
Sissy bought Will a new computer that connects to the TV and she bought Carter a vacuum cleaner. Will was trying it out for him.

Papaw and Mammaw Stennett, Will and Carter. They were exhausted after everyone left and did not feel like pictures.
Sissy, Jordan, Brandon and Colton. Love them!
Santa also left Will and Carter a trampoline... pictures to follow soon! I hope that everyone had a very blessed Christmas :)!
