Happy 12th Birthday to Monet!

Today was Monet's 12th birthday and she has had an eventful day. Brad and Bryant took Taco Bell to her at lunch at school today and then tonight we had cake and opened presents. The fun will continue this weekend when we take Bryant and Monet to an amusement park while the babies stay with my family in B'ham. So she will get more cake and more presents! Ah - to be the birthday girl!

The funny things that kids say...

Bryant said something funny today in the car that I thought to share... We were driving to run some errands and from the very back of our car he said..."mom, can we be a mailman?" and I said "what do you mean son?". He said, "can you push all those buttons up there and turn us into a mailman?"...the only response I could think to say to that was "you have to spend some time learning to be a mailman". Whew - they keep me on my toes with that kind of stuff!

Rylan is starting to move..

Here is the proof that Rylan is actually starting to move around. He is already getting up on all fours and rocking and tonight he actually sat up from being on his back for a few seconds. Maybe the movement will slim him down a little.

The 3 Boys

Here are 2 pictures I snapped very fast after church Saturday night while the boys were all dressed alike - these moments don't happen often!

Rylan is 5 and 1/2 Months!

Here is a current pic of Rylan - all 22 pounds of him.

Funny political quote

Vote Democrat...it's easier than working!

Rylan

Here is little Rylan in a cute outfit that Miss Emily gave him! Thanks EJF - we love it!

Rylan is 5 months old now!

Here are few quick pics of Rylan this week on his 5th month birthday. He really is a chunky monkey!

Here are some examples of Brantley's Disdain

New Pictures of Brantley

Here are few new pictures I took of Brantley today. Our neighbors were nice enough to let me use their beautiful yard as a backdrop for these pictures of my precious child. Needless to say, I think God is testing my parental patience when taking pictures of my children. This one especially knows how to do exactly what I ask him "not" to do. For instance, I kept asking him to "smile" and he would say "SMILE" and then look down. I bet I took 50 pictures and he is smiling in about 5 of them. By that time I was sweating bullets and wanting to drag him back to the house. This is why I have so few pictures of my kids I guess.

However, here are a few of my favorites. I really enjoy photography but think it is in my best interest (and my children's safety) to photograph other children than my own - that way I don't want to choke them...

The boys with their friend Tyler

This pic was taken about 3 weeks ago but I'm just now getting it posted. Bryant and Brantley are playing on the deck with their friend Tyler. You can tell he is getting to see what it would be like to have 2 brothers! I'm not sure if Tyler knows what to do with the wild boys!

It's been awhile....

Well, it's been almost a month since I have added any pictures so here it goes...I have just been too busy to do it lately! Hope everyone is doing well!
