Fun with Cousins

Last week we were lucky to have our nephews, Brandon and Tyler, stay with us for a couple of days while their parents were out of town. A house full of boys! Mason and Max were sooo excited. Two extra guys to play trains, planes and gun fighting. Heaven!! We all can't wait for them to come visit again. Here's a little peek at our days of fun.

Having fun!!

Mason is 4!!! Well, amost!

This weekend we headed down to Southern Illinois to celebrate Mason's 4th birthday with my side of the family. We are planning on being out of town for the weekends surrounding Mason's actual birthday so we wanted to head south for an early celebration. We had a lot of fun with Mamaw and Papaw, Aunt Brandi, Parker and Grandma Barb and Papaw Mac. Mason wanted to celebrate with a dinosaur cake and even picked out camo plates and napkins all by himself.  He's getting to be such a big boy! I just can't believe he's growing up so fast. Nonetheless, the birthday celebration has begun. Love these little ones!

Happy Birthday to ME!!

Birthday Hats

Making music. Thanks Mamaw and Papaw for our "band in a bag"! Everyone even got their own bag!!

Ready for bed! Cousin slumber party!!

It's a....................

Baby Moore #3 is still planning on making it's appearance somewhere around July 1. I had went to the doctor for an ultrasound around 18 weeks and of course the little stinker was not cooperating. So, repeat ultrasound at 20 weeks.  That was last week. Much more cooperative baby this time!  All is healthy and the little munchkin is growing like a weed! Final results:

BOY!!

We are all really excited. Especially the boys in the house :) I'm just realizing I am going to be totally outnumbered!!  I still have our dog, Trudie! Kidding aside, we are above and beyond blessed. Plus, the nice part, we are TOTALLY prepared!! Ha! Now comes the fun part, what's a good name. I kind of feel it should start with and "M" so that the little guy won't feel left out. We'll see what we can come up with! Can't wait to meet our third little man!

Popcorn

I love popcorn and so does Brad. It's one of his favorite night time treats. So, Happy Valentine's Day to Brad!  An air-pop popcorn machine. Romantic right?!?  I do have to say it is much better for you and tastes even better than the microwave stuff. Plus, the boys love that you push a button and, magic, popcorn appears. Or, it could be that they get an evening snack before bed! Either way, YUM!!

Is it really January?

This year it seems to have been unseasonably warm for January.  I'm not complaining. I've grown up my whole life in the Illinois/Indiana and still can't adjust to the winters. Sure, I love to play in the snow a couple of times a year but can do without the harsh temperatures and ice. So, this year has be great for me. This week especially, temperatures in the 50's!!  It was so nice to get the boys outside for some fresh air! A peek at our outdoor adventures.

Scooter riding

 Golfing! He was having a great time until the camera came out. Wonder where it gets that from?

Giving Max a hard time about getting his picture taken. He's trying not to laugh :)

He does, however, love pudding!
