Labor Day Weekend

This past weekend Mom came in town and we had such a great time. We didn't do too much but we are on a constant busy schedule so there were many things to do.

 

Friday night J and I went to dinner and bowling with some sweet friends, minus kids. You always have friends that are like family and the Moore's are that to us. J and Jason grew up together so we all are like a bunch of kids when we get together. Having dinner and spending time together without kids running around / pulling on your legs was SO MUCH FUN!!!!

 

Saturday morning Luke had football practice so here is Will and Westin playing on the big boy football field. No one was on it so they ran the 100 yards just like the Ole Miss players do... Hotty Toddy and Go Crusaders!

 

 

Saturday afternoon, after football, we went to eat some BBQ and then went shoe shopping for Westin. Here is my little passenger seat buddy for the afternoon. We have to take turns and although Luke is really not suppose to sit up front.... he breaks the rules sometimes... :/

 

 

Little buddy was so tired Saturday afternoon but he is still going strong here...

 

Climbing on the furniture!!! :)

 

Monday Mom drove back home but not before we all went to lunch. Saying goodbye is always SO HARD so I was crying all morning as you can tell in this picture.

 

Mom with her baby boys, isn't she just the most beautiful thing ever?!?!

We all had such a great time together and being with my Mom makes me a happy girl! I wish she was my next door neighbor..... for real!!!

Last night I snapped this picture of Will reading his devotional.. love his old soul self and he has become so big lately. He just understands life better and has such a great head on his shoulders. I couldn't be more proud of him!!!

 

 

Happy Wednesday (hump day) friends!!! 

The funny things my 16 month old does/says:

1. Every morning before Daddy leaves for work he will go get Westin out of bed and bring him in our bedroom so he can watch cartoons, drink his milk and be with me while I'm getting ready. Westin was still asleep this morning so Daddy didn't go get him, Westin heard Daddy shutting the garage door to go outside and he healed out from his bed "DA-DA" He was upset his Daddy left without getting him out of the bed.

 

2. Every single time you give the child food or his drink cup, he politely says: "tank you" It melts my heart into a million pieces.

 

3. At dinner Sunday night we kept hearing him say "nana". Well my Grandmother is called Nanny but we haven't seen her in a few weeks so I was really blown away by him saying that... then it hit me, I bet he wants a banana so I went to grab half of a banana and he just about jumped out of his seat with excitement and ate the whole banana. Such a smart boy for telling me what he wants! :)

 

4. When he is playing with his big brothers, he always walks/runs a certain way. He is walking or running in full force with his arms behind his back to help him run faster. He looks like superman and it is so hilarious to us!!!

 

5. Back in July, Will and Luke had swim lessons and each afternoon Westin and I would watch them. Well ever since then he likes to "swim" in the bath tub. It is the funniest thing to me, he will fall on his belly and pretend he is swimming, all while looking back at us to make sure we are watching. Definitely a show off! :)

 

6. The words he says are: mama, dada, bubba, tank you, dis (this), nana (banana), no, vroom (when he's playing with cars or trains).

 

Westin is just the funniest little thing to us, he is constantly keeping us on our toes and keeping us laughing at the same time. It is really amazing to me how smart he is and he picks things up very fast.

 

I hope you all are having a blessed Wednesday!
