Firsts, Fathers Day, Photo Dump

my boys love the swings
Parker's first swing ride at the park!


Parker's had so many firsts lately it was time to record them!

He's such a little ham who just loves life, he loves when anyone talks to him and he is {thank god}sleeping through the night. He gets up early about 5:30 but I'll take it!

William is sick. Again. I scheduled a meeting with his doctor for Monday to discuss getting some blood work done to see if there is a reason. It just seems his little immune system is shot lately.

Anyone who tells you it is easy to have two kids... two kids 2 and under, is lying. It is very hard, I am contently struggling with trying to balance spending time with the kids, getting house work done, and then theirs the regular work thing that seems to take a back burner most days.

I love my two butterballs more than anything, but man ohh man. Sometimes life is just plain hard... Moments like these make them all worth it. Thank god for the iphone and being able to capture them all! :)
They are always having these secret little conversations. Most often its about who gets what toys...
Parker LOVES his feet. It's getting really hard to change him and a lot of times his jammie toes are wet in the morning

Will's first fun dip

nothing like a Friday afternoon at the playground

LOVE this silly guy

Will and Mason, destined to be best friends forever just like their mommies
 Luke had a good Fathers day, after our early wake up call from Parker we all slept in a little. Funny that these days sleeping in means 7 am. Daddy was showered with all sorts of new pictures for his new office, and also a photobook full of just pictures of him and his boys. We had a special breakfast and played all day.

Love that Will is totally fully potty trained, really makes life a little easier

6-19-13 Will got his first kiss from Miss McKenzie. They sat together to have a snack at the park and she gave him to big kisses. Will looked stunned :)

Both my boys LOVE applesauce. Special since grandma ad made the worlds best applesauce
 Luke left for his annual big golf trip, I had a good but hard weekend with the boys... Boomer got out and came back with something bad... bad... bad... in his stomach that he let out all over our carpet in our room and closet. Everyone thinks I'm exaggerating (I think) but its the worst smell ever. With Luke gone I was left to get the boys bathed, fed, and in bed before I started my clean up. I got sick twice while getting it up, had a professional carpet cleaning company out twice and the smell is STILL there. We are now replacing the floors in our room. What a nightmare.
Proof that Parker literally GOES with the FLOW... such a happy easy baby.

potty break had recently turned into play time.

An update on everyone!

Helping feed Parker
 Its time to update! Too much going on, too much I'll forget! So here'd goes!

We had a great memorial day weekend we stayed around St Louis and got some things done and had some fun. Friday night Will and I went on a date. We had a blast playing games and eating ice cream and it was good to have some time just.us.two. Daddy and Will had a date to the carnival the weekend before so I was a little jealous.
Saturday morning we got Will and daddy all packed up and they headed to the farm to hang out with papa for a while. Will had so much fun running all around and seeing all the animals. He decided to chase some cows and one ran straight through a fence and broke it. Wild child. It was so quiet at home with just Parker, but I got all my plants and flowers ready on the deck for Spring. Daddy is out of town for work this week, it sure makes a difference having an extra set of hands around to help out!
Will and Parker are really starting to interact a lot more. Parker's face lights up when Will enters runs in a room, and after every nap Will wakes up and asks "wheres Parka" "Is Parka sleeping?" I can sense that sharing will be an issue soon, Will is not a big fan of Parka playing with his toys and it took a while for us to learn that Parka has toys of his own too. Boys.....

Parker is doing so good, he is just the happiest baby, he is eating cereal and he has had avocados and sweet potatoes, he is such a little piggy and makes a grunting noise if you are taking too long with his next bite. He may be a little dude but he sure loves to eat! His sitter is going pretty good, I sure wish we could get on more of a schedule for these naps and then work on sleeping through the night, mommy is starting to losing her mind. He normally takes two naps but the length of them and times of them vary I find that if he is well rested or has a nap closer to bed time he will sleep better, so were working on it!

Will is loving school... loving it! He has friends he is excited to see each day and their summer program is just awesome. They do a different country each week and every Friday is water play day. I'm so glad he gets to attend such a great school, I cant wait to see how much he is going to thrive being there. There is a shutterfly blog set up for the summer program and every night I check it and see pictures from his day, which I LOVE!
A couple weeks ago Will got a little flu bug, then after memorial day he started a nasty cough, the cough is not going away and has started to make him spike some really high fevers. We got chest xrays and ruled out an ammonia and he is being treated with steroids, antibiotic, breathing treatments, and allergies. The combination of steroids and breathing treatments are causing him to act out, he has no idea what he is doing but he is acting horrible. Its so hard to see him so upset and just plain mean, especially while I'm alone this week. I also feel bad for Parker during all of it because of all the attention Will is requiring he's not getting a lot. Really hoping he starts feeling better soon, my poor baby boy.

Other tidbits to remember:
Will shouted an "Oh my God" the other day
Will is pretty much 98% potty trained but cant get his undies and shorts up and down for the life of him.
Will got put in time out at school for being a little to "aggressive and handsy" with the other kids, he doesn't understand that all kids dont want to play rough
We had our first experience of throwing up in public (Chili's) I'd like to never do that again. Home we went...
Later that night, crazy St Louis Spring weather with tornadoes all over, went to the basement with the boys and Parker threw up all over Will and I. The beginning of the sickness...
I'm 29.... Luke got me a coach purse for my birthday which I traded in for a different purse and some new tory burch sandals. Luke made dinner on my actual birthday while I got to play outside with the boys and we went out to Ruth Chris for dinner later that week. Cant believe I'll be 30 next year!

Trying to figure out if its going to be more trouble that its worth to take a trip with the boys this year, we'd love to go somewhere and get Will somewhere but its so much work with both of them, traveling, different nap times, etc...

All in all were having a good start to our summer and looking forward to a great summer with our two little men. 

Will got a tattoo and insisted Parker get a tattoo too!
finally nice enough to get outside!



we all enjoyed a morning walk this day

Will has three favorite "gabba" characters at home, but he found the MOTHERLOAD!
