Bike Riding With Attitude On The Side

Bike Ridin' Sunday

Alex was not happy Daddy was on his bike...but yet, he didn't want to ride it

Alex fell and got his hands dirty....and had to show us all

This afternoon, after watching a horrible game of football, we all went outside for some fresh air and to enjoy not having to wear a jacket.  Brayden wanted to ride his back (and could have all evening and night long if allowed), Alex wanted to, got dressed to, but wanted to just walk and chase his brother.  I was the "papparazi" as Wally calls me...but who's going to capture these moments, if no one else does *Ahem, Wally*.  In fact, he asked Brayden if he was recently in a hit movie because of all my picture taking...ha ha, Mr. Walls.

It was a fun break, loved watching Brayden get better and faster with his bike (already asking for his training wheels to come off), and Alex was funny to watch chase B around and get mad at that Daddy for riding his bike ;).

Things I'm Lovin'....Right Now

Taking pics with my new camera

Drinking my morning coffee in my favorite cup

Playing Words With Friends on my iPhone...so addictive

My MomAgenda...keeps me organized with who, what, when, and where

My AE Sweatshirt....oh, how would I survived w/o it to keep warm in the house so I didn't have to wear a jacket indoors or buy a snuggie (sorry, not on that band wagon...yet...or ever :) )

Our Wii, it has given us more "Family Fun Nights"...who wouldn't like that

My Tyler "Birthday Cake" candle....

OMGosh, I want to eat

my house it smells so

YUMMY

when I burn this candle :)

The Wall going up the stairs...I finished this right before Thanksgiving

and was very pleased w/ the finished result.  It's so nice to see when going up

the stairs, and the boys love seeing themselves.

LIGHTS!

To me it doesn't even look like B-boy

Brayden and Alex got the these finger lights for Christmas from their Grammy...both boys loved them, but B reallyyyyy LOVED them. He has them ALL plus Alex's on his fingers, puts them on his bike, and even goes around the house and "decorates" as he calls it. Well, on this morning, I had just woken up and was greeted by this walking down the stairs...kinda eerie, but kinda funny, and my thought that ran into my mind was 'how long has he been up playing in the playroom??'...it was 6:45am when I got up.

2010...Fresh Start

Incoming!!!

Poor, Alex....can't catch a break from being hit by Daddy's pillow

Big brother will take care of it

Watch out, Daddy!!

A kiss to call a truce :)

I know....I have been MIA and a blog slacker...but nothin like a new year and new decade to get back on track. So I dedicate my first blog of the year and decade to my loving husband who is, also, my loyal blog reader....because I got so much grief from him for not blogging. My 2nd goes to my mama, who teamed up with W from time to time about the blog :). Hope you both enjoy ;)!!

I will save my excuses for not blogging and get on with the blog....Last Saturday morning started with a pillow fight, and lots of laughs and giggles. It was Brayden and Alexander vs. DADDY! It was quiet the sight to watch the boys use all their might and strength to get a good hit with a pillow towards their Daddy, and Wally just tosses the smallest pillow we have and they go DOWN. It was a fun start to a Saturday morning!

Happy Birthday, Brayden!!

Brayden 2005

Brayden 2009

Who knew he would grow from baby to this amazing young boy that he is today?! Ok, I had some idea, but as I looked at him today and reflected over the past 4 years of his life I was and am amazed of my little boy....but more importantly I and Wally are so BLESSED that Brayden entered our lives at 5:23 p.m. on this very day. We couldn't be more proud of this sweet little boy, and hope every minute of every day he knows that without a single doubt. We LOVE you so MUCH, Brayden! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

4th B-day Party~Bowling Style

Joy Ride!

These days the boys are playing more and more with each other, and where you find one the other is usually right there with him (good or bad). Most of the time it is good and they will entertain each other while I take a shower, fold clothes, empty a dishwasher...you get the point. BUT there are also times where holy war has broken out all over a little toy or playing that got a little tough to handle, and my house is taken over by tears, shouting (sometimes screaming...and yes, I do have boys :) ), and some pushing. These moments are usually brief, and I will take these short drama filled durations any day of the week after seeing how these 2 little boys of mine are becoming the best of buddies.
