Baby Wrestlemania!!

Just before bathtime tonight, they decided they would wrestle!!

Head butt.....

Let me show you who's boss Miss. Reese.....

Yeah, that's right, I kicked your butt!!

Ding, ding, ding......Charlie wins!!!!

I love my "Chareee"

Just a cute little picture session this morning before we went to MDO.....which, by the way, she did SOOOOOO good today!!! Joe took her and she barely even whimpered. When I went to pick her up, she came running to me with her arms spread wide screaming "Mamamamamama" --quite possibly the best feeling in the world!!!

Yucky Day Outside.....

Saturday was such a yucky day outside, so we decided to make the most of it and go to the McWane Center with Brent, Lauren & Wyatt. It was PACKED!!!! The kids had fun, the grown ups had fun.....turned out to be an ok Saturday!!!

looking at the fishes!!
they loved playing on the mini golf holes!!

Joe trying to balance himself.....by the way, i beat him at this!!

Me and Lauren in the wind tunnel (that's why our eyes are closed!!)

Mornings with my babies.....

....is my FAVORITE part of the day. These two little rascals get so excited when they first see each other in the morning -- it makes me smile from ear to ear to watch them interact with each other. Every morning, Charlie decides he wants to come and get in the bed with me around 7am. When we go to MDO, I have to wake Reese up around 8am, and she immediately asks for Charlie when we come downstairs. She knows he is in my bed and she will have it no other way than to wake him up! She rolls all over him, gives him kisses, and shouts "Charreee, Charreee" -- has to be the sweetest thing on the planet. Charlie loves it -- he laughs and grins and grabs her face......oooooohhh, I love it!!

On another note, Reese did SOOOOO much better at MDO today. I made Joe take her and she barely even whimpered. After he came out of the church, I went back inside to check on her (without her knowing of course!!) and she was playing and laughing. Wow, what a difference. I told Joe -- if she's going to go, then he has to take her from now on. Mommy can't take anymore of the drama upon departure!!!!!

See this happy face????

Well, once we arrived at MDO, it turned into MAJOR sad face. Today was worse than last week. They had to peel, and I mean peel, her off of me. I bawled, she bawled, ohhhhh, it was a mess. I talked to Joe, and I, of course want to stop taking her. He is trying to assure me that this is good for her and she is going to have to learn to do things she doesn't want to do, blah, blah, blah. Well, then HE is going to take her. I can't do it anymore. Not at least until she stops the crying upon departure. I have talked to her teacher since I left and she is fine and hasen't cried since I left, so I am assuming she is having a good time -- all the while, I am worried sick and have a headache from crying so hard. Ohhhhh, to be a mommy!!! I hope this gets better!!

Alabama Adventure Round 2!!!!

We went back to AL Adventure today! We had such a good group.....we were WAY out numbered with kids, but still had a wonderful time!!! Reese got to play with Avery and Katie and Charlie got to play with Ralph. My cousins were there too, so Maci had a wonderful time playing with Reese -- and it was a LOT of help for me!! It was packed today -- and hot!! We love the waterpark!!!!

Racheal & Katie, Marilyn & Ralph, Charlie, Reese, Jenn & Avery

Charlie and Ralph (sounds like the names of 2 old men sitting on a front porch!!)

Poor little guys, they were zonked!!

Reese going with Riley and Maci on the "big girl slide"!!!

She took turns going with each of them!!
(That's Jenn at the bottom to catch her, while I took the pics!!)

Soooooooo much fun!!

I think her mouth stayed WIDE open the whole time she was on the slide!!

Still sliding!!

Riley's turn!!

EVERYONE wants to help Reese!!

Gotta love a sailboat!!!
