Where do I begin??

We have been on a traveling hiatus for the last 6 weeks and so I have a ton of pictures to share! Scott had some training in Arkansas and so it worked out to be a perfect time for the boys and I to visit with friends and family. We spent time in NLR with the Riley's, time at the Edwardian Inn with my parents, and then the boys and I headed to FL for a few days to see the Sacco's. I also got to sneak in a quick visit to Texas to meet one of my best friend's from high school new baby boy. Scott's parents also came down for a quick weekend visit at the bed and breakfast. We all had so much fun! The boys got SO much attention and now we are back to the routine and they are stuck with boring ole mom :)

I uploaded the pictures wrong and so they are all out of order....Enjoy!

Measuring cups were Cohen's favorite toy at the Inn.

We helped Honey at her booth for the Edwardian on National Tourism Day.

We always make a creation at Honey's house. This time it was a semi-truck with all the bells and whistles :)

Mother's Day with my boys

Meeting baby Jack! I was SO excited to get to make the trip to see them. He is adorable!

Scott's parents came in town and we went to the Gospel Festival on the levee!

Before his parents started their trek back to New York.

Kelsey and Bryton always had lots of fun together :)

Cohen is into everything that his brother is doing.

I love capturing these sweet moments between the two of them.

Fun times in the sprinkler at the Inn

How big is Cohen?!

Bryton and Honey spent some time in the kitchen making me birthday cupcakes. They were messy, but delicious! :)

Sweet boys!

We made a couple of trips to the Museum of Discovery in LR....so much fun!

Erin's sweet friends surprised Bryton with a pinata just for fun.

Point Reyes

After church today we decided to take a little day trip to Point Reyes. Everyone has been talking about it and telling us that we just HAD to go check it out. I am so glad we did! It was a fun little adventure for all of us. Our first stop was the visitor's center to get a map and check out some sights. Then we were off to see the lighthouse and to check out all the scenery along the way. It was absolutely beautiful!

The boys playing at the visitors center

It was a little hike to the lighthouse, so Bryton took advantage of a ride on his daddy.

This is the lighthouse that we went to see. It was amazing to see it with the waves crashing all around. There was also a pod of whales that came up as we were about to leave. So glad we walked all the way down to take a look around instead of just looking from above. Bryton was fascinated with it all, especially the horn that blasted every few minutes!
Me and my boys

308 steps down and 308 steps back up.....Bryton walked them all!

Cohen rode on Scott's shoulders on the trek back up the steps, as I lugged the stroller and gave Bryton pep talks :)

On our way back home we rounded a corner to find a HUGE herd of cattle crossing the road. We sat there for a good 10-15 minutes waiting on all of them to pass. The boys loved it! Cohen was squealing and waving his arms. Bryton and I have constant conversations about all the cows (we drive by them numerous times a day) and one question he always asks is how do they move from field to field....now we know!  I have to say it was pretty hilarious....look at the one in the middle staring us down :)

Look who's walking!

Every day Cohen is taking a few more steps! He is so proud of himself :)

Walking and drooling (look at that shirt!)...that's what is keeping him busy :)

Crazy hair but look at that smile!

He even did a little walking at the lighthouse today

Easter at our house

Last night we went and picked up Hunter to come spend Easter with us. Bryton was super excited to have a playmate for the day! We dyed our Easter eggs last night after we picked him up. Cohen missed out on the fun because it was late, but the rest of us had a great time. We got up this morning to see what the bunny brought before heading off to church! This afternoon, the boys all played while I cooked our Easter lunch. We made an attempt at pictures, but oh my golly it was torture (as you will see below!).It was a super fun day and we were so happy to have Hunter here to share it with us.  
Happy Easter!


Checking out our basekts! Cohen had no interest in hunting for eggs this morning.

Bryton got a "trash grabber" from the bunny. He picked it up and said, "I have been meaning to get one of these!" He is something else! :)

It just wasn't happening today...

Oh brotherly love....
Maybe we'll get a picture with both of them smiling when they are teenagers :)

Hunter made it all better!

Bryton and Hunter made deviled eggs together. Bryton got a case of the sillies while they were cooking :)

Squadron Easter Party

Today was our squadron Easter Party. It turned out to be a lot of fun. We had a brunch potluck, crafts (of course!) and a big Easter egg hunt. Neither one of the boys wanted anything to do with the bunny! Cohen ended up falling asleep before the egg hunt, so he missed out on that fun. 
Bryton had a great time playing with all of his little friends! 

This was as close to the bunny  as we could get and Cohen wasn't too thrilled! 

Bryton was okay with the bunny when he offered him candy....imagine that :)

My three boys! 


How cute are these two?!

Egg hunt! We are overloaded with candy in this house!
