Best Buds

My sweet boys are each others' best friend.  They play together all day long and miss each other when they can't be together.  Sometimes I don't understand the things they find amusing - like "Potty Talk Time" when Knox goes in the bathroom while Tate sits on the pot; or jumping on the couch after dinner (when I tell them EVERY night to get their stinky feet off my couch).  I don't think it really matters what they're doing... they just like to be together.  And there's no possible way I can find fault in that...

Nothing like getting sprayed in the face by water from your big brother's mouth!

Love to y'all,

Adios, Cozumel!

We've been back for a couple days now and we're getting back into the swing of things.  Mexico was sooooo much fun, but there always comes a point when you're just ready to have all your little sugars in your arms again, and five days without them was just enough time for that to happen. 

Here are some pics from our much-needed vacation...

Lunch...on the beach

Eric and Jill... on the beach

Sister-in-laws... on the beach

Brad and I... on the beach

Jill and I... after a long day at the beach

Carlos and Charlie's... our one afternoon not ON the beach, but more like "across from the beach"

Three reasons to not spend anymore time on a beach.

Leavin' On a Jetplane

Tomorrow morning Brad and I are leaving for Cozumel with his sister, Jill and her husband, Eric.  This will be our first "real" vacation - other than a couple quick trips to Vegas (is that really considered a vacation anyway?) or out of state weddings - since our honeymoon.  And since our ten year anniversary is in May, we thought this would be the perfect time to go.  

Either Jill or myself have been pregnant for the majority of the past five years (we've had 7 babies between us in that time) and we always said that when we were "done," we'd go somewhere fun together.  So, we decided to go for it.  With all the twenty-year old Spring Breakers down there, I'm sure we'll be looked at as couple of old cougars! 

Of course, I have some anxiety about leaving the kids.  Like I said, we've gone away before, but never for five nights.  My parents are watching them till Tuesday and Brad's mom and grandma are coming down from Tuesday until we get home on Friday.  I just pray that they are safe and sound while we're gone.  I'm gonna miss these sweet faces...

Please keep us all in your prayers:  Safe kids and safe travels... and at least a little rest for some VERY amazing grandmothers!

New Tricks!

Little Miss Brady is learning new things everyday... Just this week she rolled over from her back to her tummy.  She did it for the first time on Tuesday and now does it all day long.  My favorite "new trick" is that we are now able to hear her very first giggles.  LOVE her!!!

Love to y'all,
