consist of work, cleaning, being a wife and being a mom. As a mom I've discovered I'm more like a jungle gym sometimes, crawled over, climbed on and so forth. So what do you do to these little childeren that climb all over you?? 
Capture them and tickle away!!!
of updates and pictures to share from our very busy month so far. We started the month celebrating our 6 year anniversary. The kids stayed with Sugar and Pop Seale while David and I enjoyed and wonderful dinner at Lawry's...it was so quiet there :-) After that we stopped by one of David's friend's bar for some drinks. .JPG)
event called Relay for Life. It's all night fund raiser where a memeber from each team walks around the track all night. They had a wonderful ceremony and some fun events going on. We took Trent out there for awhile but he started getting tired and was having melt downs so my mom came to get him :-) I guess there is a thing called too much bounce house. I look forward to doing this again n
ext year!!
had the moms over along with their kids for a Sunday Brunch. The guys were in charging of cooking while the mom's just enjoyed some mimosas and all the great food. The little ones had a blast running around and playing and even the cold weather that blew in didn't phase them.
nd foreclosures. They have some great perks for him and we both have a really good feeling about this. So far he's really enjoying his coworkers and the nights off. He'll still be picking up some Saturday shifts at the bar for some extra cash but we'll be enjoying weekends and nights together now. 
nesday Carter turned 15 months. I took him to the doctor for his check up and she said he looked the size of an average two year old and was overall very impressed by his motor skills and words. Here are his stats:
g things like his diaper and putting things in containers when we ask and direct him. He is wearing size 24 month clothes, size 7 shoes and size 5 diapers. He drinks about 24 ozs of whole milk a day and is trying very hard to use his fork and spoon. He loves bananas, breakfast bars, cheese, raisins, peas and macaroni and cheese. Carter can point out his eyes, nose, tounge, feet and belly.
esday I took Trent on a mommy/son date to Disney on Ice. I found some tickets for a great deal and couldn't pass up the opportunity to do something with just the two of us. The show didn't start until 7:30 so we went out to dinner first. Of course I planned some extra time so I left work early but some how seemed to hit traffic every where so we were a little rushed. I decided on taking him to Campisi's since they had two of his favorite
s, pizza and french fries. He LOVED their cottage fries and kept callin
g them chip fries (since they looked like potato chips). After a quick dinner we headed to American Airlines for the show; unfortunately the GPS got me a little lost and it started pouring down rain but we were finally able to make it to the show and only missed the first few minutes. Our seats were pretty close and Trent was just in heaven! The show was interactive with the audience and really was entertaining for all ages. We got some cotton candy and a Mickey Mouse stick th
at spun around with lights. He was dancing here and there and was very excited to see so many characters he knew. He lost a little interest during the princesses part but when Toy Story ch
aracters came out he was so happy. He leaned over and said "Ma ma, I want to give Buzz Lightyear a hug!" It was so cute!!!
them separated so they get attention individually and we get that time with them. I look forward to more mommy/son dates in the future!Carter LOVES Peek a Boo:
Normally this makes Carter laugh but I think there was too much tickle :-)
1 year old on February 12th. Our baby isn't a baby anymore!! He is walking all over the place. He is working on trying to say more words and babbles non stop. He wears 18-24 month clothes, size 6 shoes and is in size 5 diapers. Carter has done wonderful with the transition from bottle to sippy cups along with formula to whole milk. He is a very observant little man and mimics us all the time and anything we do not want him to touch or play with, 
he does! He has a very short temper and screams when he doesn't get his way but on the plus is a cuddlier and will give "kisses" and hugs all the time. He adores his brother and just wants to be around him and play with him. He's is not the best sleeper at nights and will often wake up but can normally go back to sleep on his own.
d 12 inches that day and we went to play in the snow that morning. Carter was very unsure but Trent had a blast running around, making snow angels and throwing snow balls at me. We couldn't stay out too long since Carter was having trouble standing in 
snow. After lunch and naps we headed to the doctor for Carter's check up. Afterwards I took them to the mall to play in the kids play area. Then we headed home for dinner, a movie and cake. Trent told me Carter had the best birthday party ever!! I told him to wait until the actual party where there would be more people than just us :-) 
s wearing size 5 diapers, 18 month clothes and has two little teeth on the bottom. He's doing good with his sippy cups and eats meals just like his big brother, just cut up in smaller pieces. He babbles and talks and some of it really sounds like words. He for sure has ma ma and da da down. He's a very observant and likes taking everything in. He has taken a few steps but has not officially walked yet. Trent and him are getting along a lot better; Trent actually tri.JPG)
es to play with him, it's really sweet. Carter is definitely the baby of the family, he loves being held and loves being around us. He's down to about 2 naps a day and sleeps great through the night. When he's done eating or upset he loves letting out a very high pitched scream. Carter is a huge ham and loves getting pictures taken. He will bring me the camera and start posing, it's too cute!

ter's first Christmas and what a lucky little guy to have it snow!! 
Christmas Eve we were supposed to hang out with Grandma Becky and Grandpa Kelly but the roads were too bad so Grandma brought us some dinner and had to head back home. After eating and bedtime I stayed up and finished wrapping the rest of the gifts and found it kind of funny that I had trouble sleeping because I was so excited for Trent to wake up to all his gifts from Santa!! Carter was actually the first one up so we play
ed for awhile until Trent finally woke up then the fun began. We explored the house to find Santa left some "snow" by the chimney and ate all the cookies we left out. We all opened our stockings and gifts and 
really just enjoyed our morning. Carter wasn't too sure what was going on but had fun playing with all the toys as Trent unwrapped gift after gift. From there we all got ready and headed out for our Christmas brunch with my mom and Kelly. This year seemed like one of the best; th
e food was awesome and we really enjoyed ourselves! After eating we headed back to our house and opened gifts with mom and Kelly. From there, it was naptime! After everyone got their naps in, we headed to my Aunt Jayne's hou
se in Heath. It was a full house and we had a great time seeing everyone and eating some more good food! Trent really enjoyed playing with my cousin's little guy, it's fun seeing them get older together. Trent would run around and ask where his cousin was, it
was too cute!
to Sugar and Pop Seale's house for brunch and you'll never guess it but yes we opened more gifts! :-) It was very relaxing and Pam, Melissa and I even got to play a game of Life during naptime.
After everyone was up we packed up and headed over to Meemaw and Peepaw's house for out final celebration. The kids had a great time running around and playing together. 
ses and is very busy yet not quite as busy as his brother was. He is very mellow but will "voice" himself when he wants something or is upset. He has been sleeping farley good, still may wake up at night but just drinks his bottle and is back to sleep. He's in size 4 diapers and 12-18 month clothes. He babbles and makes noises all the time. Some of his most common are dadada, babababa and mamama. 
ot too busy to get to Carter's 8 month post so here is a little catch up before the 9 month. He started crawling literally in a day! He did a mini crawl one night then went to full crawling by the next afternoon!!! Trent was a helper since he put a toy out for him to chase :-) He's been wearing 12 month clothes and size 4 diapers. He drinks 4-6 oz bottles throughout the day and eats all table foods. His sleeping has gotten so much bett
er with wake ups during the night here and there but overall sleeps 12 hours during the night. 
e the playroom, toys and overall attention. It's cute though because even with the jealous he really does try to play with him. I'll catch him tickling him, playing chase or just simply playing next to each other. 
ay I met up at one of my friend's house for a baby play dat
e. The two other babies are 2 months younger than Carter but they all still had such a great time...well at least us moms were entertained! There was some crying, laughing, crawling, hugs and even a little paci stealing. They are still too young to play together but are getting to the age to parallel play. I realized when Cart
er got excited at his cousin's baby doll that he needs to g
et more baby interaction. We had so many little ones around Trent's age that I don't really have that for Carter and since he's not in daycare he doesn't get around kids his age very often. It was very nice getting them all together and I look forward to
