Our Pippa

Our sweet pup is 4 months old.  She is a good girl, but she does like to chew, jump and occasionally pee on the floor... but hey, that's puppies, right?! 

Pippa sporting her new Alabama collar. Roll Tide!

Harrison giving Pip some love.  She loves the boys (and the morsels of food they drop) and the boys will cuddle with her any chance they can get.  

Berries Tents and Ice Cream

GiGi came to Georgia and Daddy went to Minneapolis.  And we had a blast!

The boys enjoyed popcorn in their makeshift tent, watching Robots.

Loving homemade ice cream at Lane's! 

Strawberry picking with GiGi.  It was nearly 90 that morning, but everyone had fun despite the sweat and gnats! 

Digging for the good ones!

Harrison's new favorite thing to do is HOPSCOTCH!

Painting Fun!

The boys love painting! Brooks may have eaten a paintbrush full of blue paint once or twice, but it's all non-toxic! What they love even more is how excited GiGi, Pa and Great Grandma get when they get them in the mail!

Momma's Day 2012


"Making the decision to have a child is momentous.  It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body" - E. Stone


These little boys made me a momma.  
And although there are moments in the day when I want to scream, they keep me on my toes and laughing.  Love them.  

Goofy Guys

Brooks has discovered a love for pickles! Mmm! 

Harrison and Pippa before Harrison's school program

Brooksey booty!

At Publix decorating cakes for Mother's Day.  Notice the pink stiletto and the pound of sprinkles?! 
It was delish!

Finally decided to be a responsible parent and invest in some helmets for these crazies... 
Brooks didn't want his picture taken. 

SBK Graduation Program

Harrison had his preschool graduation program Thursday night.. and how sweet were these kiddos.  You can see Harrison on the left-hand side next to his buddy Deidrick.  


This is Mrs Johnson, Harrison's 3k teacher.  She was wonderful and we will certainly miss her!

Mr. Mischief

This boy is trouble!
Stole a bag of chips out of the pantry and was hiding from me while he snacked.

Cheese!

Driven by food, he was scaling the island in search of donuts...and got stuck. 

Love cooking "alphabet soup" with momma's pans!

Traveling Fools

The boys and I took a short trip to Indianapolis last week.  I was missing home and really needed to see my family and friends! We flew out on Thursday afternoon and had a packed schedule for the few days we were there.  The boys were such troopers and did quite well!

Harrison was so excited for the take-off... which made me feel better about clutching my armrests (me=not a good flyer!)


This little dude fell fast asleep during our landing


We had a customary trip to the museum...


Harrison and his best bud, Griffin showing off their fossil finding skills

And following our museum trip, we had our customary McDonalds lunch with the Browns!

Complete with ice cream cones!

Some of us liked them A LOT!

Friday afternoon/evening we spent at Auntie Brit's house (the boys refer to my best friends as aunties because they are more than family to us!)
And I finally got my hands on this super cute baby, Camryn! 

Dinner is served! Ludwig boys, Brown boys and the Tooley trio!

Dinner and drinks out with a girl's best friends! I am so grateful to have friends like you!



And we can't forget GiGi and Pa who always make us feel extra loved and comfy! Be home again soon!

Scary!

Brooks is starting to cover his eyes during "scary" parts of movies.  In these pictures, he is watching Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc... super scary Disney movies!



Cool!

Not quite stylish but definitely proud boys! Harrison picked out his own outfit this day, right down to the dang socks... nevermind the fact that it was in the mid 80s that day. 
 Whose super cool?!


Netty Pot?

Poor Brooks, always being mischievous, thought it would be a wise idea to squirt water up his nose.  
I am just glad I have my camera to catch these priceless expressions.  



Mish Mash

And a few pictures that didn't have their own post...

Our baby girl, Pippa was tuckered after a game of Twister! She had her 12 week appointment today and weighed 16 pounds! 

Harrison's first tee ball game! 

A cute picture of Harrison and Alden, his Georgia buddy!

Looking adorable on Easter this year. And apparently too adorable to look at the camera!

Harrison was excited to wear his "work belt and work shoes" so he could look like Daddy!

Easter egg hunting!

Pippa loves the soccer ball!

Dress Up and Tee Ball?


Brian literally almost killed me for taking this picture.  We were playing at a friend's house (who has a 2 year old girl) when Harrison came clomping out in these pink heels, rings and bracelets on and a Snow White top.  To his credit, he has never been to a house with dress up clothes before... and he was just having fun!

Harrison and his buddy Alden after tee-ball practice.  

I know this picture is blurry but I adore it.  It shows how my little boy is growing up.  Doesn't he look so old?! 

A Growing Pup

Pippa is 9 weeks old! She is now 8 1/2 pounds and is such a sweet girl.  She loves the boys and is already using her bell to go outside.  


Standard outdoor play...the boys chasing Pippa

She lets us hold her like a little baby...which she essentially is! 

Cuddle time with Pippa
