LUKE'S 6 MONTH PHOTO SHOOT

POOL TIME

time spent w/Aunt Naomi , Tyler, & Ryan

MATTHEW'S 2ND B-DAY

Matthew turned 2 this past Saturday. We celebrated it as a family on the actual day & had a party for family & friends on Sunday. Originally the theme of his party was to be Handy Manny...but then he saw Disney The Cars so we had to switch themes. Thank goodness I hadn't bought everything in HM yet.

The party was a success. Matthew enjoyed himself. These are just a few of the pics from his party. Way too many to upload...lol...so just picked a couple. To give an idea on decorations....I painted up "street signs" to hang around....stop sign, do not enter, yield, caution children at play, & present unloading zone. Everyone had fun!

Can't believe he's 2 already. My sweet little man!!

PRE-BIRTHDAY FUN

We took Matthew to Lion Country Safari the week before his birthday...sort of a pre-celebration. It was unbearably hot(what's new here in south Florida...lol). But despite the heat, Matthew enjoyed himself. I'll be showing a few of the pics from that day....not all but a few. I figure most people would rather see pics of us versus the animals...lol

FINALLY

YEA!!! Finally have internet again. Got my air card late Monday night....yea!! So happy to be back on & able to communicate w/my peeps.
The boys are getting bigger by the day. It's hard to believe that Matthew will be 2 years old in 24 days(7/25). I remember being pregnant w/him like it was yesterday. He was such an easy pregnancy. I remember when the doctor pulled him out; what a wonderful, amazing moment in our lives.
I'll be uploading some pics later of the pics on the boys walls(bedroom & playroom). It took a few days to do BUT I thoroughly enjoyed doing it. I wished I'd had more walls to do...lol

AAAARRGGHHHH!!!

Hate not having internet at home. We ordered an air card for my computer yesterday & it was supposed to be here today but they never called!!! So angry!! And sad!!! Miss being able to talk to my peeps!!!
Boys are growing by leaps & bounds!! Matthew's still working on potty training. Luke's eating cereal & other stuff up a storm.
Still need my rich uncle to get out of the poor house though...LOL

YEA!!!!

YEA!!! Three days in a row of going on the potty(at least once in the day)!!! Way to go Matthew!!! What a big boy!!! He's doing good. Now if he'd just do it every time. I usually catch him when he starts his pacing 'round & 'round to go poopies. That's the most of his potty trips. Though last night he also went just peepee on the potty. Yesterday was a big day....two times on the potty. Way to go my lil' man!!!
Luke had his first blow out diaper of his life(just now). It was so bad he had to have a bath afterwards.
Sorry for those of you w/"weak" stomachs....this is our life right now...lol
Can't wait to get my computer(s) working on the internet again. Hopefully very soon!!

CHANGES

There have been some changes around here. First, Luke is now able to et cereal. He had his first "meal" last night. He didn't do bad & he ate almost all of it(a tablespoon's worth). Pics are above of this feeding. I swear the pics are better than this....they aren't coming out good on this blog or facebook :(

The other change is...Matthew has decided that the theme of his birthday party should no longer be Handy Manny but Cars. The bonus to this is....Party City has everything I need.....the downfall is I'll have to spend more money because of having to buy the stuff & not being able to print it from online like Handy Manny. But it's his choice....& who knows, he may change his mind back before then. He changed it this time because he just got some Hot Wheels yesterday as well as having watched the Cars movie last night.

"BIG" boys

We've had some "big" days the last few days. Last Thursday(May 14th), Matthew went "potty" on his little potty. YEA!!! It was his first time.....he asked to sit on it, so I said okay.....he "played" for a while. I was busy watching someone suspicious walking down the road & missed him actually doing it. However, I didn't miss him taking the "bowl" out & dumping it all over the floor...LOL Then yesterday, he went to the bathroom w/his daddy. He sat & "played" again for a while but then decided he was done....& then as he stood up....went all over the cabinet...LOL...at least he tried....
Luke started rolling over....on his 4 month b-day(last Friday). Now he's constantly doing it!! He's growing so fast!!
Matthew's vocabulary is growing by leaps & bounds each day. He says at least 3 new words a day. His latest words are Guke(which is Luke), buddy, & money. I can't wait for his b-day. Wayne's parents got him the your baby can read set. It'll benefit both him & Luke.
Speaking of his b-day...I need to start planning it. I know it's not until July but I need to figure out if I'm going to order his invitations, decorations, etc or just go to playhousedisney.com/celebration center & make them all myself. He has chosen the Handy Manny theme this year. Right now it looks like my sister & her boys might be here for it....so it'll be a "double" party since Tyler's b-day is the same day as Matthew's.
Well need to go do laundry...already cleaned the whole house this morning.....so ready for a nap. Come on naptime...YEA!!!

And NOT so Sweet Boy

Throwing a temper tantrum. I just don't know where he gets that temper from...LOL

SWEET BOYS

Matthew says, "this is my nose"

Luke is such a happy baby!

Always Smiling!!

"crooked lil' grin"

Matthew loves to eat cheese petesy...that's how he says pizza(right now)

I love my lil' guys!!!

LUKE 3 MONTHS(& MATTHEW sneaking in)

These are just a few of the shots that were taken. Matthew "conned" his way into a few pictures.

The lady said that for Matthew's 2yr old shots...we should tell him it's for Luke so that then he'll want it done & then we'll get good pics like we did this time.

If any of you reading this talk to either my dad(& Hazel) or to Wayne's parents....PLEASE don't mention the pics because they are part of their Mother's & Father's day gifts. THANKS!!!

LOVING BROTHERS

Matthew & Luke(no help from mommy)
