A horse or a dog?

This is my parents' neighbor's dog...Beauregard.  He may be big but he is such a sweetie.  He came down the driveway to get his morning treats.  The boys were not afraid.

Jumping to catch a treat from Opa

Look at that air!

First Mardi Gras Parade

While on the coast, the boys experienced their first Mardi Gras parade.  We arrived several hours early (not intentional) but found a great spot the boys could play at while we waited.  They did awesome!  They both feel asleep before the parade and finally woke up a few minutes after it started. 

Enjoying a Tato-nut Doughnut before the parade

Our perfect spot

Rainey excited he found candy in the bead bag.

President's Day Weekend

With Chip in Singapore, I decided to take the boys and Gunner to visit Oma and Opa on the MS Coast for the long weekend.  The boys traveled great.  It took us 7 hours each way with only one stop each way.  I wasn't trying to hurry...it just worked out that way. 

No matter where we are...we are going to find a Chick-fil-a to eat at!!

Loves his chicken nuggets and chocolate milk

Cars were rented at the mall.  Rainey is mad because I'm taking a picture.

Earlier in the morning, I dropped Oma off for a haircut and rode around while the boys napped.  When we got to the mall, Rainey kept saying he wanted a haircut.  He never had a "big boy" haircut so I wasn't sure how it was going to go.  It was great!!!  The lady even let him hold the clippers.  No more Cool Cuts for Kids...we're going to my girl.

Lunch on Oma and Opa's porch, with Heidi looking out for crumbs.

Playing on the ride home.

The ride home....nice and quiet.

For Woops

Go Wildcats!

Happy Valentine's Day

The boys enjoyed Valentine's parties at school today.  I went back and forth from room to room to catch all the activities.  We came home with a lot of candy!!

Rainey waiting patiently for his craft.

Craft time...making Valentine's bracelets.

Aden waiting on his snacks.

Snack time for Rainey

My sweet Valentines!!

The ride home...both boys chowing down on chocolate that Rainey figured out how to open.

More random pics

Aden snuck under the kitchen table/seat to eat his yogurt with his fingers.

He loves to wear clothes on his head.

Rainey enjoying crafts at Chick-fil-a.

Aden fell into the bed frame as I was putting my shoes on.  He broke up the scar from where he had his stitches.

Luckily he only needed steri-strips and not stitches this time.  He has sugar on his lips from doughnuts :)

Bought this to store toys but looks like Rainey is having more fun with it.

The boys decided to climb in their storage box and play inside.

Aden sitting patiently on his "lemonade stand".  I asked him if he was ready to eat and he sat down.

What's wrong with this picture?

A little while after I put Rainey to bed, I looked at the monitor and noticed his bedroom light was on and no one was in his bed.  When I opened the door, I found the comforter and sheet pulled off the bed, Rainey wrapped up in his nap mat for school sound asleep!!  He didn't even wake when I picked him up and put him back to bed.

Ready for war???

No...Aden is ready for his brother to push him in the red car, because Rainey likes to run him into the walls.

Rainey wanted to be in a picture too!

Thought we'd try it on Gunner for size
