Lake Lanier

Some friends invited us to their lake house this weekend- so since we weren't doing much we took them up on it! It was a fun day- Adam did some wakeboarding and we all played on the jet ski. The boys were tired so they played on the dock and with the dogs most of the time- they did go out on the boat for a bit though :) This was about 45 seconds after we got in the cat to come home...

Adam in action

The Adams (our friend's name is Adam too!)

goofing around- trying to throw each other off the back...they both fell off!

Me and Kendall (Adam is Kendall's fiance)

Maddox scoping things out

Hey hey- I'm back!

...I wasn't really gone anywhere; just from the blogging world. So here I am with nothing really new to report. We haven't been up to too much lately. My aunt and cousins came up this past weekend- the boys played all day with Brandon and Walker and the girls (me, my cousin, and aunt) ran to get lunch, and to Home Depot, then just hung out and shopped online. Here's Walker hanging out with the guys- I think he was blinking here...but thought it was cute. Maddox up to no good as usual

Dyan- feeling a little nutty by the end of day...

excuse the lighting on this one- I don't think I had my flash on.

Here's just a lazy one of of us, since we never have any of both of us together- I think Adam was caught a little off guard! ;)

Meanwhile, after not accompishing much the last week or so- I proud to say I have been pretty productive today. I got up and was out the door by 9:45 this morning (not typical for me, normally I like to take my time and do nothing for about an hour before I start to get ready or go anywhere). I then went to Target, Old Navy, 2 banks, Walgreens, and the mall! I was home by 12:30 and while I was going from place to place I also ordered a cake and party platter from Publix for this weekend; and then painted a table and fed the boys lunch...all by 1:15!!! So- for this evening I plan to get the boys to bed and exercise, then finish my growing pile of laundry! Wish me luck :) See ya next time!

Deal of the Week-

So I got bored the other day and decided to list many of our furniture items on Craigslist...our master bedroom set, the guest dresser and headboard, and a chair in our livingroom. Don't ask...I don't really know either, I just was bored with it. Turns out the bedroom furniture was a hit...I sold our set that someone had given us right before we got married, in 2 days; had nothing but our bed in room for 2 days after and last night found this!!!! I love it! It's huge!!! It's liek 3 beds in one. You can set it up as a panel bed, a 4-poster, or canopy; the canopy is too high for our ceiling- it hits our fan, but we won't be here forever so no worries. The boys like it too- it doubles as a jungle gym

The best part is- the dresser and mirror came with it- what a deal, I sold our old furniture and paid less for this than I sold ours for! Now we just have to find a fun nightstand and a chest for Adam...

Finials go on top the posters- I had to call and have them shipped from American Signature-but look how HUGE it is! It makes our room look little!

Adeline

Well Anna and Adeline left this morning...it seems like they just got here! Their visit went by pretty fast, but we all had dinner together last night at Maryellen's and I snapped a few pictures of the cutie; since I'm sure the next time I see her she'll be walking and talking... Miss Amy saw me taking a bunch of the baby and walked up and said, "I wanna say cheese!" she's pretty funny...here's here cheese!

Jackson and Amy were pretty into the bird book...they play pretty good together and Sarah doesn't leave until Wednesday so they can have another playdate.

playing with her momma's shoe...

I liked this one; she looks so cute.

Couch Buddy

He's such a sweet boy- I don't think he has a mean bone in his body- his hands are bigger than mine

He likes to snuggle- at night he curls up next to me on the couch, he thinks he's little...

A Sad Day

Everyone always says how much the boys looks alike-I've even had 5-6 people ask if they're twins! I don't usually see it that much; but when I looked at this picture after I snapped it I thought wow- they really look alike here! Well, it's official- Maddox is in a big boy bed. I'm sad. This means he's not a baby anymore- I can't believe it. I left the rocker in his room anyway just incase he still wants rocked...oh well I guess. He still tells me he's my baby though when I ask- when he stops saying that I'll really be in trouble!

He seems to like it!

Froggy boots

Crazy Jackson posing for a picture as always... my favorite little feet

investigating bugs...

my little Oscar-

this shot is just classy- don't you think? For some reason I adore the fact that this little guy always looks like a hot mess. He just wouldn't be my Maddox if he didn't- it's his nature I guess, but I love it. Adam was grilling and he wanted to go out in a hurry but couldn't find his Crocs- so the boots sufficed I suppose, then ofcourse jackson wanted his too.

I just haven't been in a blogging mood...

... I'm not sure why but I haven't been up to it, besides that I haven't been taking many pictures either! But here's what I've got for now: my little brother had his senior prom last weekend, here are some pictures I got- look how cute he is; he' all grown up!

Jackson brought me my camera and said he wanted his picture taken. Maybe he was beginning to wonder why I hadn't taken any lately!

Last night on our way out the door to Maryellen's for dinner we were trying to get the boys in the car and couldn't find Maddox anywhere- we kept yelling his name but got no answer...he had fallen asleep in the bathroom floor!

...Anna and Stratton got here Saturday with Adeline, and Sarah will be here Wednesday with Amy, so I'm sure I will be taking pictures this week!! Check back later!!!
