Just like Daddy and Mommy

A little dance before bath time!

(Mommy and Daddy don't really do this before bed. HA!)

 

Shaving like Daddy

 

Cleaning Baby like Mommy

Terrific (or Tired)Tuesday

Tuesday is the one day that we don't have anything planned.  No school, no bible study, nothing.  So mostTuesdays I plan something where we get out of the house for a bit, whether its Monkey Bizness or the zoo, or Mimis house.  But last Tuesday we just stayed home and played together. It was a fun day just playing with my babies!

 

We did head to Kroger for a bit and they actually stayed in the car the whole time!

 

Back home playing with our "friends"

 

 

 

You may think its always Avery that wants to dress up...NOT the case.  Its usually Sage asking, "Want to play costumes Avery?!"

 

They just started this yesterday

 

Tuesday evenings Avery has The Little Gym, So when Daddy gets home I get to have some one on one time with Aver while Sage gets to hang with Daddy

Avery did this rock climbing thing like 25 times in a row

It ended up being a fun (and tiring) Tuesday!

My Fairy in Training!

While Sage was in school Friday and at his sleepover Friday Night.  I got to have some fun quality time with my little fairy in training!

 

Having lunch with friends

feeding her friends

reading to her freinds

 Enjoying this beautiful weather!

she walks over to this bush where Sage always pees and lifts up her skirt. HA! 
YOU ARE NOT A BOY AVERY!!!

She loved making bubbles for all the big kids on the street

Sleepover EARNED!

Sage earned a sleep-over this past weekend!! He gets a star sticker everytime he goes to bed without problems, stays in bed all night, and doesn't come down stairs in the morning till his special clocks tells him he can.  (His little clock is a bunny that sleeps at night time, then changes to a bunny awake walking when its time to get up.  For Sage it is set at 7:10am.)

He earned his 5 stars 2 weeks ago but got really sick that weekend.  So this past Friday he was able to get his reward, his FIRST sleepover!!  (kinda)

 He invited his cousin, Carson, to spend the night at his Mimis house.  The boys had a great time and were exhausted the next day!  He now only has three more stars to earn until he gets another sleepover!  I told him this time it could be me or Daddy sleeping in his room with him all night. Then he could pick someone else the next time. Believe me he has his friends all lined up for a sleepover.  The problem is he doesn't want to share his friend with Avery so He wants to go over to everones house.  HA! SO.....if you have a child who is Sage's friend you may be getting a call from me soon asking if he can have a sleepover at your house! :)    

 

SLEEP OVER NIGHT

Playing with my favorites, HELP!

I recently bought Photoshop Elements 11.  I just love to take pictures and I wanted to get something to make my pcitures look even better!

Here is my new FAVORITE picture of Avery and Ryan. 

THe first one is the original and the two undernieth are ones I played around with in Photoshop Elements.  Looking back I think the first one is the best one. 

I've been watching tutorials on you tube but i'm not sure its working

 I need a GOOD Photoshop tutorial, any ideas?!?

The ZOO!

My mom and sister and I took the kids to the Zoo yesterday.  It was Tatums first trip to the zoo!  THe weather was great and the kids had a great time. 

Just to keep it real....Sage was pretty awful most of the time "I want to see the Rinos!!" the whole time we were there, until we actually got to the rinos of course.  By that time he was whining for some lunch.  And then he HAD to feed the giraffes but then once we were up there and it was paid for, he got scared and wouldn't go near them even if I held him.  After lunch he was an angel (of course we left 45 minutes later and he was exhausted) But for the most part we had a good time, inbetween warnings, threats and bribes :) The ride home was NICE! I even took a trip by the new house since they were both still asleep by the time we got on our side of town.

Ready to go in with their toys!

Watching the elephants get a bath with Aunt Carly

And we are off!  Sage with his trusty map of the zoo! GLad we could get all three in the double stroller! Love the BOB!

So excited to feed the giraffe...
