No Bows About it...

...this girl is cute! Jayne Elizabeth is still the sweetest thing in the South, even without the bows! She amazes us with her laid back personality. She is so sweet, and we couldnt imagine our life without a little bit of pink. Thank you Jesus for the gift we didnt even expect! God is good!

Pool Party

We had the opportunity to go to William's third birthday party at the indoor pool! Johnathan and Joseph really enjoyed swimming, and even were jumping off the side into the pool with Daddy! It was a relaxing and enjoyable party, and a great way to end the weekend.

Every pool party needs a bathing beauty......

Where is Joseph?

When I saw Johnathan standing at the hutch cabinet door in our playroom I knew something happened or was about to happen. Johnathan quickly showed me that Joseph was inside the cabinet, and that he could open and close the door on his brother!! The boys laughed and proceeded to take turns shutting each other in the cabinet. They even would knock on the door- from the inside and from the outside! It was the afternoon entertainment! Joseph's expressions are priceless! These twin boys are climbing and hiding everywhere!




























Another glimpse into our day.....these boys!

Where is Johnathan?

Our house has had a tough week. We have all been sick and required a trip to the doctor. I think we are beginning to recover. We wouldnt have made it without the intervention of our friends and family. I look forward to the weekend, Anthony is off and he is the only member of the household not sick. I know we will all be better soon, and for that I am thankful. So to lighten the tone I have shared pictures of Johnathan......yes, he is in our dryer! He likes to get in and close the door. yikes! Now if I can teach him to fold clothes. Enjoy your weekend!

Spring Break

Since it is Spring Break, the boys did not have Mother's Day Out. However several Moms organized a trip to the Children's Museum of Oakridge. It was a fun day, and the museum was interactive enough to keep Johnathan and Joseph's attention. Our group was four moms, 8 children under three and one dad.....yep, that one dad was my precious husband! Anthony was a huge help, and the boys enjoyed a fieldtrip with their Daddy! I think one of the cutest pictures is all the boys playing the piano....maybe all the Kindermusik classes are working! These boys are together at church and Mother's Day Out, and I am pretty fond of the Moms too!

Take me out to the ball game

Go Lacey, Go! We took Johnathan, Joseph, and Jayne Elizabeth to Lacey's softball game! She is the pitcher...and MVP at our house! The boys were interested in the game! They would watch, and even clap! I think that half of the girls on the softball team have been at our house at some point to help Lacey with the boys! The cutest part is the shirts! Check out the kid's clothes...it was a sure hit at the ball park!! Adorable, the boys thought they were big stuff in their hats, boots and shirts at the ball game!

St Patrick's Day

We headed out on a playdate with four other mommies and their sweet little ones! It was lots of fun! My family was already dressed, and we were not wearing green! Thanks Jillina for reminding me before we left our house to wear green! The pictures below are of Andrew and Jayne Elizabeth! They were relaxing on this playdate while big brothers William, Johnathan and Joseph ran like wild men! Gosh-- I love being a Mommy!

Wordless Wednesday!

A Sunday Morning

Sunday mornings are great at our house. It is the only day of the week that the veterinary clinic is not open, so we have Daddy home ( if there is no emergency ). We have the opportunity to go as a family to church!! We truly enjoy our church. Central Baptist is currently in a series of sermons on the home. It has been fabulous! Also, in our Sunday School class we are doing the "Fireproof" study. We truly appreciate a church that has a focus on the family! And the babies are so cute at church! The boys have so many friends to see on Sunday Mornings! We are so blessed to be able to go to church and worship God, He is so worthy!

The Sunday School toddler class had several visitors! The snack table was full!


















The boys have fun at church! Lacey's parents, Mrs Connie and Mr Ronnie are the boys Sunday School teachers.....let me assure you- this means fun!

























Joseph enjoyed Sunday School, and took the opportunity go on a date with Aubrey!





Whew, time for a nap with Lacey!

Jayne Elizabeth

Jayne Elizabeth doesn't get left out on Sunday mornings!! She goes with us to church, AND then we take her to our Sunday School class! We havent put her in the nursery yet! We keep her with us, and I dont think she minds! But shhhhh.....dont tell her brothers! She is so sweet, and such a good baby!

We took the monkeys to the zoo!

Anthony was off today, so we packed up the mini-van and headed to the Knoxville Zoo! It was 80 degrees and we had a slight breeze! The weather was gorgeous! Several of the exhibits were not open yet, so we were a little disappointed. The favorite of the day were the elephants!! And for some reason Johnathan thought that every animal at the zoo grrrowled!! It was so funny. The kids all did great, and we even went to a sit down restaurant with the family of five!! We are so proud, and truly are thankful for spending the day together as a family. God is good.
