Foxy Girl…

We have a new addition to our family….

Introducing “Foxy”

She’s a little, teeny tiny bundle of cuteness that we didn’t plan on bringing home today, but look at her!  How could we not?!

The boys picked her out and named her, and they are so excited to have a puppy! 

I know that she has already wormed her way into my heart, and I think that I’m not the only one that loves her…

Hart Dock Springs

Jesse has been off work quite a bit these past couple of weeks, and he’s introduced the boys to Hart Springs.  The first time they went, Wyatt wanted so bad to jump off of the floating dock, but with Jesse trying to wrangle 2 boys wanting to go in 2 different directions, he didn’t feel so safe letting Wy jump off.  All I heard for the next few days was Wyatt talking about how he wanted to go back to “Hart Dock Springs.”  Wouldn’t you know, when we all went back, he wouldn’t do it!! Oh well, I see us going there a lot more this summer, so maybe he’ll get his nerve up soon!

Here’s a few pictures from last Tuesday…

Happy 4th of July!!

We hope that your 4th was as enjoyable as ours!!  We started out the morning by taking the boys to the Greenway to ride their bikes they got for their birthdays.

We went swimming after the bike ride, but of course, this Momma was so hot that all she was thinking about was the cool water… not taking pictures!!

We went to some of our family’s house for a cookout and fireworks.  We had such a great time of family, food & fellowship!

Birthday Party 2011

We had the boys’ birthday party this past Saturday at the Yum Yum Shop.   I kind of “borrowed” the ice cream shop party idea from my friend Ashley after we went to her daughter’s party back in March.  This was probably, by far the easiest party ever.  It was so nice to be able to go in, set up the decorations, have cupcakes & ice cream, and basically be able to sit back, relax, and enjoy some yummy treats!!

We went with a “Thing 1, Thing2” theme this year.  The boys have both developed a love for Dr. Seuss this past year, and we figured we’d incorporate that love into a birthday party!

Aunt Tania is amazing!  She helped out so much, by making the invitations, cupcake toppers & goodie bags.  I’m so thankful for a sister like her!!

Of course, there were no blacked out spots on the real invites!
