Blessed!

(no need for words)

Wow!

I had this cake made for a baby shower by a girl here in town. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! It was simply the best thing I have ever put in my mouth. Call me if you want her contact info....you won't be disappointed.

The Zoo

Gigi and Pop wanted to take the kids to the zoo this past weekend....we even met Michael, Whit, and Day there. Needless, to say the kids had a big time! The animals were lively and pretty close to us. Leila is quacking like a duck in the picture that she has her hand over her nose. She was probably the most excited of all the kids. It was a very hot day and we were dripping with sweat when we left, but it was worth it to see the kids have lots of fun. Thanks Gigi and Pop!

Love

Tyler, I always brag about our babies on this blog....I want you to know that I love you so much and am proud of you too! I love being Mrs. Tyler Wood!

Caught!

Leila loves to eat! Tyler and I joke and say we hope her first date they go eat because he is sure to never ask her out again! She crosses her eyes when she gets really into eating and the food gets close to her face. Also, she eats everything in the most unconventional ways but she does enjoy herself! So, I guess at the next wellness visit we'll make sure there is no need for concern that she may turn out cross-eyed!

Happy 25th Birthday Momma/Nanny!

Happy Birthday to a woman who has contributed and sacrificed so much to make me the person I am today! Momma, I love you for being a terrific mom and also, for being my friend. I am so thankful that God loved me enough to give me you for a mom and you for a nanny for my kids. We truly appreciate everything you do for us and are so happy to be able to celebrate "you" on your very special day. Asher says you have permission to be 25 today, so, happy 25th........you are officially younger than your own daughter! We love you!

Help me pick Leila's birthday invite photo?!

So, I need help picking a photo for Leila's birthday invitation. Please comment, call, or email me your pick!

Praise the Lord!

We've accepted an offer on our house! Closing set for July 31st....please continue to pray that everything goes through as planned.

She liked the cupcake too!

Ninja Turtle excitement

If you know my son, you know how much he loves to pretend and how much he loves superheros! Today, we met daddy at Sam's on his lunch break and mommy was craving a chocolate cake. To Asher's surprise, they had a ninja turtle cake and cupcakes. He asked for it and Daddy said yes (of course!). I couldn't have bought him anything else that he would've been more excited for. He thanked us (I'm not sure how many times) and checked to make sure it was still in the car between each errand we had to run. He told Snoopy that "we got a ninja turtle cake, Snoopy", and then snoopy asked if he could have his own piece, and Asher told him "of course"! I'm telling you the boy was excited! He skipped his nap so he could eat a piece as soon as we got home from running errands and is wearing the cupcake ring right now. It is such a joy giving your children little things that please them so.

To the movies!

Mom and Nana asked to take the kids to see Ice Age 3 a couple of months ago. It was the first movie the kids have ever been to. Asher requested his princess's presence at the event and so she came too. He was so excited and Leila must have been b/c she skipped her afternoon nap. She ended up falling asleep on the way to the movie theater and woke up about 15 minutes into the movies. It was such a good time! The kids LOVED it. Asher exclaimed, "Big screen, big coke, big popcorn!" The ate a variety of different candies too. Asher's little mouth ran the entire time...I'm sure the people around us appreciated that. Leila was pretty quiet until she saw Scrap. Then, she got excited! It was so great watching their little faces.....thanks mom and nana for the special treat!

Happy Independence Day!

The rain spoiled our 4th of July plans but we still had a great time! Dinner was wonderful, the company was good, and thanks to Haley and Blake the kids saw fireworks the night before. Tyler informed Asher on the reasons we celebrate the 4th of July. Asher liked the story so much that he asked to hear it over and over. I loved my day spent with my babies and my hubby.

Playdate with Uncle Kyle

Uncle Kyle came by last week for dinner and a playdate with the kids. We really enjoyed ourselves and Asher was big buddies with him. He even chased him to tell him how much he'd miss him. We love our Uncle Kyle.

Summertime

Our church had a family picnic tonight and we took the kids....we even watered our garden with the new water hose! Yea, no more hauling water buckets! Before we left, I took a few pics of the kiddos in front of our new home. Happy times!
