Sweet boys and a special day...


first bro wrestles


Parker pushes Will, he thinks he is the big bro most days

I'll be the first to admit, they were not always BFFs... But now a year later, they sure are quite fond of one another. Any mom will agree with me I'm sure, your heart doubles in size yet again when you get to start watching your children really play and interact together. Will is so protective of Parker from the steps he doesn't want him to fall down, to not getting in the street, to not coming NEAR the potty while Will is going. And Parker, well from day one, he's been the biggest fan of his big brother. I truly believe that is why he was an early crawler/walker, he just has to be doing everything his brother is doing. Will is very good at taking turns and sharing everything but I think the hardest part for him is sharing OUR time. There are certain things and games we can only do once Parker is asleep and there are some nights at 5 pm Will thinks it is quite time his little bro clock out for the night. Catching their first wresting match was one of the funniest things I have seen, I cant wait for more of these special moments.
 
Will funnies:
At the store in the cart he didn't even say a word to me before he asks a stranger, "Hey can you hand me those cookies" The woman and I both broke out laughing... Good try buddy.
 
Will asked what died meant the other day....(I said our flowers were dying) I said sometimes when things get old they slow down and sometimes they can start to die. Will's sweet response: "Ohh  yeah I know, just like when I dyed eggs at Mimi's house!"
Who knows what they are doing, but you know whatever it is Parker WILL do it too
love these two cute bunnies. right before I took pic Will was tickling Parker


On Good Friday we had plans to go to Purina Farms, every spring they have baby animals out you can see and pet. My mom came along and we had a great morning (even with Parker who wouldn't nap in the car) The animals are just so darn cute, and so is the event. We watched the dog show, and Will got his face painted. We were just loaded up in the car saying what a beautiful day it was outside when we were all trying to think of the last time we had been at the farm. On a whim we decided to let the kids nap in the car, pick up a burger, and head down to surprise my dad.
I really was a beautiful day and I cant think of anything better than spending it with my family. I hope we can re create this day every year....
Luke has GOT to learn the camera.... ;)


most the animals were 3 weeks or less, so sweet

love him

KC or bust, first road trip as four!

We finally made a road trip happen, with some other trips we had planned getting canceled because of sicknesses, and our new floors in our room we made the trip to visit our friends the Strickers in KC! With Dannys job in the past two years they have moved from St Louis city, to Lake st louis, then to despares, and now in KC! I don't know how they do it and stay sane, they are defiantly  professional movers!
Their home in KC couldnt be any more beautiful and neither could their two kiddos. Jim and Leslie tagged along for the trip and it was great to have them and spend some time catching up! 
The boys did GREAT on the way down there, we left around nap time and they both napped about two hours. It was so cute, when Parker woke up in the carseat and saw Will sitting there his face just LITE up. He loves his big brother so much! Daddy had a bit too much fun when we were in KC and we definitely learned a lot about how our travel planning needs to go differently next time. 
On the ride home Parker was so over tired from his fun filled weekend he was having a hard time "letting go" and falling asleep and he cried screamed his sweet butt off for two hours straight. I climbed back and forth between seats and tried everything to help him. We all slept good in our own beds after a long weekend Sunday night!

Saturday us mommies and kids visited a little place (very similar to Grants Farm) while the guys spent the morning golfing. The place was super cute and Will loved it! 




Will can spot a John Deere tractor. Talent.


This kid sure loves water
