25 & Lookin' Good!

Gosh. I love this man of mine. 

He is my favorite person to hang out with & talk to. 

I get excited to see him everyday when he gets off work.

I love when he holds my hand & gives me his loving hugs.

He is my forever and I couldn't be more blessed to have such a hard working, honest, fun and worthy husband and father for our babes. happy happy birthday my love, I hope your day is as special as you are to us. 

For his big 2 5 my cutie wanted Sushi and it was de-lish! mostly cause I haven't been able to eat his most of our marriage cause I'm always pregnant ha and because these people knew what they were doing. It was the best sushi I've ever had! yum. My awesome parents took the boys and we were able to go out just us his birthday eve! I love me some date nights with my man.

Because this guy is so freakin awesome we of course celebrated his birthday all week long! I had a little surprise for him every day when he got home (I think I had more fun with it then him but don't girls always like the cute stuff more anyways?!) For his acutal birthday he had to work, boo. But we got to spend the morning with him and went to (free) lunch and then later that day brought him his favorite brownies to work! 

So glad I get to spend many a more birthdays with this hunk!

campfire fhe/birthday celebration

For Seth's birthday (week) we had some of our friends aka Seths "boyfriends" and their families over for campfire dinner and s'mores! Seth has really found some great friends out here in Alabama but the wives always make fun of the husbands because they are always texting and wanting to hang out! Good thing I like their wives! ha But seriously, we have some pretty awesome friends here and they have become like family.
It was a perfect night spent with friends, family & celebrating my main man

The older boys are always so good to Zac and he has so much fun running around with them 

(most of the time)

Yippy for Peepee in the Potty

WARNING: this may have explicit pictures unsuitable for people who get offended easy (bahaha)

Seth has been pushing the whole potty training thing for a good month or so, I for one am NOT ready for the responsibility of potty training or running in the store looking for the nearest bathroom to avoid an accident or the puddles I will have to clean up but I guess our little one was ready before me!!

His daddy bought him a cute little potty the other day and when today he was trying to get up on the toilet I decided to get his potty out for him. (because of course I've read somewhere that you should have the training toilet out a few months before you start the training process.) Well tonight he went in the potty THREE times. Yes I sound like the geetty proud mama!

So I guess, here we go!!

Any tips for this first timer is more than welcome!!

Because Grandparents Always Make Sundays Better

This is what our picture for this sunday looked like. 

until I asked Zac to take one with his Grandma and Pawpaw....... 

my boys! // heart. melted.

This is Our Sweet Home Alabama : Lincoln County Fair

A year ago we went to this fair. *side note! I can't believe we have already been here in Alabama a year already. It's crazy how the Lord directs your life in sometimes the most surprising ways! From the place that was a temporary stop to finish school has now become (as far as we know) our new home! We LOVE everything about this place and hope to raise our boys here and make going to this fair an Alabama family tradition!

This year we went with some of our friends and again it didn't disappoint! Farm animals, lots of friendly people with thick southern accents and yummy food!

 Um, and did I mention the best tasting funnel cakes?! like ever!

 Every night they do a different activity, we went on the night of the race cars, hick style. haha I don't remember what they are called but let me tell ya thats what it was. Super fast cars but they had mud tires and would be timed going thru the mud. Zac loved it and would clap his hands every time they would go. Gray on the other hand, it was a little too loud for him!

((ignore my cheesy scrunched nose face trying to get our babies to smile))

sunday fun day

Another Sunday down, another boy out. There is something just so dang cute about little ones sleeping!

Lately this adorable toddler of ours has been waking up from anywhere from 5-6:30. IN.THE.MORNING. This might be okay for some, but for this mama. Heck no! So it would make sense after playing hard (he loves nursery) at church that this little boy would fall asleep on the way home. Which resulted in no Sunday nap, for any of us! 

My boys. aren't they just so cute?!

Zac was extra sensitive today for Sunday pictures. Go figures. 

To top off our Sunday we had the Sister missionaries come over for dinner! (they probably would hurt me if they ever say I took this picture) But we just love them!! One of the sisters reminds us all so much of my sister Natalie! I love the spirit they bring into the home with them and their friendship!
