Another Day! Another Mess!


So we have a lot of messes everyday! I only take pictures of the ones I feel worthy of the shots! 
This happened today while I was driving. Big Brother Cole shared a pack of Rolos with Cannon. 
I heard the snickering and thought nothing of it. They laugh at each other all the time. Plus! They were not fighting!! 
Then Cole shouted Mom!! I looked in the rear view mirror and saw the little baby hand covered in chocolate. Still didn't think a thing about it. 
Pulled into the garage got out of the van. Opened the door gasped!!!! Oh dear!!! Chocolate from head to toe!!! In every crevice of the car seat. Oh the joys of brothers. They had a blast!! And thank God for the person who invented stain stick. I will need it. 
Each day I meet these little obstacles I laugh instead of scream. And a little more of me becomes more laid back. 
Have I mentioned I am keeping baby wipes makers in stock and I need a better vacuum cleaner!! Would not trade it for the world.

Palm Sunday

What a beautiful day for Palm Sunday. A wonderful sermon followed by a covered dish lunch. Then a visit from the Easter bunny and an egg hunt. 
Of course Cannon was fascinated with the big ole' bunny. 

A little closer...
Maybe throwing some eggs will help!! 
I think the bunny told him in this picture no chocolate in your eggs. Or maybe he said you really are a little Cannon. 
So let's get Brother Cole in the picture see if that helps. 
Bunny!! Bunny! 
And....
Are you kidding me??? Don't you remember Christmas mom?? I hate these things!! 

The egghunt was a success! 
Enjoy the week! As we prepare to celebrate Easter!!

Ever Have One of These Days??

It started like this....
Delicious permanent markers for breakfast! How you ask? My oldest son, Cole, made a poster yesterday. Left the markers out and his Big League chewing gum. So the gum was the next thing Cannon ate! 
Then we finally made it on our bike ride. I go inside to get a nice big drink of water. Return outside to this....
They are just eating the marshmallows out of the cereal. Thought this was the stick a fork in me moment!!! 
Nope!! 
He finally napped after this picture!! 
The day is not done!! Have a good one! 

Chattanooga Spring Break 2015

We packed as much as we could into three days. Chattanooga Zoo, 

Children's Discovery Museum,
 Ruby Falls 
and the Chattanooga Aquarium. 
During our slow
time we walked beautiful downtown Chattanooga. 
Skipped naps! 

Was it worth it? Yes! Every single minute! I heard a sermon once. Making memories with your family is the most important thing you can do! Fun memories. 
I pray that is what we provided our children this weekend. A fun weekend filled with memories they will cherish. 


I know Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the weekend and can't wait to explore the next spot! 
And that's a wrap! Those are our traveling buddies. Maybe we packed too much into this trip. 😜

Catching up!!

We had our second son Cannon!! He is 17 months old now. 
 Cole is almost done with Kindergarten.
Life is moving fast!! Cole just finished his first season of Upward Basketball. Kevin coached them! They were great!! 
This weekend Cole started tee-ball practice! This will be his third season. 
I always enjoy tee-ball. It's fun to see the kids play and enjoy the weather!! Spring is finally in the air!!! After three back to back snow events in North Alabama. Wow!! 

It was fun! Now we are expecting rain. I am ready to plant some flowers! 
Well now that we are caught up!! 😜 Maybe I can post more often!! 
Happy Monday!!
