My little aubies....

Pumpkin Patch!

Yesterday we headed to the Pumpkin Patch at Old Bakers Farm in Harpersville. It was a beautiful morning! We pet some animals, rode a hay ride behind the tractor which Luke was loving, and picked out our pumpkins! It's very hard to get a picture now with both of the boys, but whatever we get will have to do! :) We had a lot of fun and Luke was so much fun to take. I swear it feels like we were just there with Luke! Sam had fun too :) I love doing this kind of stuff as a family! :)

Sam - 4 months!

excuse the quality of this picture! Will get a better one later with Brian's camera!

Well, here we are at 4 months! Is this still my blog?? I forget it a lot and have so many pictures to post on here! I will update this weekend! Samuel is a growing boy! We go to the doctor next week for his check up. I am still nursing him and it's going just great still. I am just worried because I think he might be obsessed with me :) During the day it's been really hard lately because he takes like 2, maybe 3, 30 minute naps and it's killing me! I have sweet friends who keep offering to take Luke off of my hands, and honestly, it's Sam! I am just exhausted and my patience is, well running very thin. I try so hard to watch myself and some days of course are worse than others. I find myself getting onto Luke for doing stupid stuff that I don't really care about, but im just so tired it gets to me! On the other hand, these 2 boys keep me laughing. Luke is hilarious these days and talks all the time. The boy is obsessed with tractors, dump trucks, trucks, etc! He is ALL BOY! He is super sweet to Sam and gives him his pacifier and is so proud when he does it! Sam is getting better in the car thank goodness! I really do think he just gave up :) We are heading to the beach here soon and I am so excited I can hardly stand it!!! We need a good getaway! I had to drop out of my bible study that I was doing and I am so bummed about it. It was just so in depth and I didn't have any time to actually sit down and do it, and I am so sad about it. I know again this is just a phase in our life right now. It's so hard to cherish these times when you are so tired and just want to get through the day you know? I always got so annoyed with people before I had Luke who would give me this petty advice, and oh how you are going to be so tired, blah blah blah....um...one child didn't phase me, but two! Yea where was the advice on that one! :) I kid I kid...not really.
Ok, so are you thinking right now I am miserable and exhausted and just not happy? :) Wrong. To be honest I wouldn't trade my life for one second. Yes I am tired, but I really love being a mom! Sam looks at me when I feed him and just gives me the biggest grin ever and just coos and talks so much and I love it. Luke, when I pick him up from MDO, he looks at me, grins, says hey, and hugs my neck. It's about the sweetest thing on this earth. THOSE are the things I cherish and make being exhausted all worth it. They don't see my flaws, and how tired I am and everything else. They just know I love them to death and take care of them! And I do!
Tomorrow we are going to the Pumpkin Patch!!! I am so excited I can hardly stand it! :) We will have some oh so cute pictures to come on here! Stay tuned! Thanks for staying with me, if you are :) Oh here is Luke at 4 months below :)

Phone pictures!

My Two Sons.....

We are seeing some light folks at the end of the tunnel! Yay! Hope I didn't just jinx myself! Anyway, Sam is getting more fun everyday! He smiles and coos and talks so much now! I love it! He "talks" a lot more than Luke did...hmmm...might be my son indeed :) He is a big boy! Wearing 6 month clothes, and still some 3 just depending on outfit. He still hates his car seat, well being strapped in. He will just have to get over that! Anyway, we are doing great! Finally getting cooler outside to walk and get rid of this baby weight I hope! Bye!

Luke's 1st day of school!

My baby boy is growing up! Luke started school (Ok, Mother's Day Out) yesterday!!! It was a special day to me as well because he is going to school where I grew up! It was so weird waiting in the parking lot waiting to pick him up, and thinking about how I use to run out to the same parking lot to my mom's car. I am not sure if Luke will go to real school there, but I wanted him to go to MDO just in case he went to a different school. He did well, but of course cried when I dropped him off! They were all crying though. When I picked him up, one of my dreams came true that I have been waiting for for 31 years, and that would be Luke handing me a picture that he made! I finally have my OWN child's art work to put on my refrigerator!!! I know this might sound just dumb to a lot of people, but I don't know why, I just have always looked forward to picking up my child from school and him handing me his art work that I could go cookoo over! It is hanging on our frig, but I am going to make a art wall in his room for all of it! Here is a picture below of his beautiful little hand prints on his apple tree :) So first day was a success! I think we will go back next week too :)


Oh, on a side note I LOVED his outfit! I have a friend/girl in my neighborhood that does an incredible job! Quick funny story though! This outfit originally had 3 crayons on it with Luke's initials. Well the night before school I was cutting something off the back of it and put a hole in the outfit! I of course freaked out, teared up a little bit, then took a deep breathe, and texted Brittany telling her what I did and asked for HELP HELP!!! I know some people are thinking, just put another outfit on him?! Are you kidding me? If you know me, that was unacceptable! You know I have had this outfit all ready for a month or so and he was going to wear this! It meant a lot to me! Anyway, I headed over to Brittany's house and she was so stinken sweet and stayed up to help me! We decided the apple might be the best thing to cover up the hole and she was right! I actually like it better than the crayons!!! I got home late, but with a perfect first day of school outfit. I owe her BIG TIME! She has a facebook page! Go check her out! She is awesome and super sweet!!! Her business is Ribbons & Ruffles!!!!

Samuel 3 months!

Oh my goodness that was a fast 3 months! My little Sambo is growing up fast! He is still high maintenance though! He hates the car still and pretty much screams most of the time making any kind of trip not fun. We are headed to ATL soon and I am already dreading the car ride! I am still nursing him and he still eats every 2 to 3 hours! He is sleeping ok at night, but I still get up twice some nights. Needless to say I am just tired all the time! Good thing is, it's starting to cool off here and now I can actually go walk/run and get some of this weight off! Luke is very sweet with Sam. I think the sweetest thing is when Sam wakes up, he just smiles so big at me! I love it! He is turning into a little person now. I love having 2 boys and especially just being a goober and taking pictures of them all the time! Life is busy! :) Here is Luke in the same outfit at 3 months below :) They look nothing a like to us! You can tell they are brothers, but that is it! :)
