The Arboretum

We met our friends today at the Arboretum while our husbands braved the crazy shopping (Ryan behind the counter and DJ standing in the LONG lines at Best Buy!). We had fun watching the boys feed the fish, wish the could get in the water, run around and play in the "treehouse". We love our buddies and are so thankful for their friendship!

Getting as close to the water as possible!!!

Of course they would find some water to jump in. Boys will be boys, right?

Jacob, Ben and Samuel "cheese"ing it up!

Daddy's Little Helper

Because of our pending birth of baby #2 we decided to hang our Christmas lights on Thanksgiving Day! Ryan was awesome and climbed on the roof (carefully I might add!) and on ladders galore to put up our beautiful lights. Samuel was more than happy to "help" by climbing the ladder and distracting Daddy for some play time each time he got down from a ladder!

Taking a nice break after lights and dinner! I LOVE my two boys!!!

Happy Birthday Ben

We went to the park yesterday for Ben's 3rd birthday! It was a great way to let the kids play and celebrate our little buddy! Sherry was very creative and made some super cute Froggie cupcakes that also were surrounded by some blue cupcakes (for the water!) Isn't she so clever!!!

Our two peas in a pod! They had so much fun swinging together! I was shocked to get a good picture of them both, aren't they just so happy!!!

Ben snacking on his doritos! He would lick all the cheese off each chip before he ate it! SO cute!

Happy Birthday Ben! Thanks for letting us celebrate with you!

June and Caroline certainly weren't going to miss out on those yummy cupcakes!

Cute little Pirate

Samuel's Grandaddy and RuRu are here this week visiting. They stayed at our house on Sunday evening for Ryan and I to go to our small group. Here is one of the cute pictures they got of Samuel after dinner. He was trying to wink and I think it's just so cute. Every time we ask him what a pirate says he says "arrrrrr" and closes one of his eyes. I just love how spunky this little guy is!
