So many emotions

HA! I finally swiped Bowen's motorcycle!!!!

"Mama! Mama!" (Bowen not in the picture, but trying to get his bigwheel back)

Caroline not wanting to give in

After hearing Mommy will give her the pacifier if she gets off the bigwheel

Evan Starstrom turns 3!

All dressed up and ready to celebrate Evan Starstrom's 3rd birthday!

Celebrating Evan

Decorating a stars at the party


Caroline hanging out with the big kids

All of the kids had an awesome time at the party

Bo is back!!!!!!!

Bowen has been so reluctant to get out on the field and face the opponent. He loves practice, but has not been a fan of the field during games. Oh, but he looks so cute in his uniform:)

This past Saturday Joe Neville (Evan's daddy) said something to Bowen to make him run out onto that field. Thanks Joe!!!!!! Bowen looked like he had a great time. He yelled "NO!!!!!!!!!" when his opponents approached him. A newly found courage emerged. Yeah!!!

Can't wait until Halloween

Ha! So it's not even October and I couldn't wait to get Bowen and Caroline into their matching Halloween pjs. Hey...it's so hard to find matching outfits for an adorable brother/sister photo shoot.

I just could eat them up!

The kiddos settling down in front of the tube before their bedtime routines...

"Hey Caroline, let's pose for a sweet picture" - Bowen

"Hee hee, now let's wrestle" - Bowen

Showering our Davis

My friendships here in Windermere are precious. My girlfriends threw me a couples babyshower this past weekend to "stock the nursery". Davis is completely set with diapers and wipes. I think Brantley enjoyed the shower as much as I did (football playing in multiple rooms, drinks (not just sodas), and a date night out).

Everything was so perfect from the flower arrangements, food, desserts, and friends surrounding us. Davis is one lucky little guy.

Soccer Season Take Two

Game 1 = The whistle blows and Bowen takes off running after the ball, towards the correct goal, he dribbles, he's tough and then...

Bowen: "The boy said no to me. He told me not to kick the ball" (in tears as he runs for the sideline)
Me: "Honey that's your opponent. That's okay. Go back out there and kick the ball hard and steal it away"
Bowen: (thinking hard, "steal" a toy?)No.
Me & Brantley: "It's okay. It's your team against their team. They try to get the ball from you and you try to get the ball from them"
Bowen: "No"
Brantley: "It's okay to steal in soccer"
Bowen: "No"
Me: "I'll give you gum after the game if you get out there"
Bowen: (thinking hard on the offer) "No"

Stay tuned as we toughen up our sweet Bowen!!!!!!!!!!!


These glasses make him look tough but they are just covering the tears.

My Gym with our little monkey

While Bowen was at school, I took Caroline to My Gym to play. She absolutely loved it. Caroline was in hog heaven with all of the climbing options the facility provided. I had a hard time keeping up with her. I had to waddle fast!
