One half of the counters!

Getting food out so he can "cook" it!

The other half of the counters

Jr has decided he loves to cook. When we are cooking he is always right there doing what he can to help! This afternoon I have been upstairs cleaning while Colton naps and Jr has just been roaming around playing! Well I came downstairs to check on him and this is what I found! He had pulled out almost all my pots and pans, utensils, the griddle, cooling racks, and strainers. He told me.."do way momma i toohin chick rice"...aka..go away momma im cooking chicken and rice!! ha! this boy is too much! I love all the things he does and says. Sooo cute!And yes, I did go away so he could cook me chicken and rice and then he came and got me and we ate it together on a "ate whike momma and dada does"...aka..date like momma and dada do!Love him!

Please Pray...

for this sweet little girl Layla Grace and her family... www.laylagrace.org . There is also a facebook group called Praying For Layla Grace that you can join.

I came across this facebook group the other day and since then my heart has been breaking for this family. It is so hard to understand why these things happen to children. So innocent and sweet. But I truly believe God has been and is continuing to use this precious girl for his glory! God is good even in our worst times and as I sit here writing this I am praying for a miracle for this little girl and others like her. Even though I have never met her and her family they have had an impact on my life as well as many others. I am praying for you sweet Layla Grace and your mom, dad and sisters!

Circus!!!

Colton was hopping from person to person!

Pops and Yaya and all thier boys!

Jr stayed like this for the last part of the show, it was sooo cute!

Jr's favorite part!

During intermission! Acting like a big boy!

This past Thursady we went to the circus! Last week Matthew had his 27th birthday and Bradley, his brother, had his 29th birthday! So my inlaws took us all to the circus! We had so much fun! All the boys,Andrew Jr and Colton, were just in thier own little worlds watching the lights and music and clowns and animals! We hope to be able to go every year since Jr and Colton had so much fun!

One of my favorite videos!!!

Snow Days!!!

We ended the day by the fire!!!

Ready to play!

" SNOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"

We love the snow! The boys had so much fun in the snow on Friday and Saturday! When Jr woke up he was sooo excited to see the snow. So we got all ready and were going outside and he started freaking out not wanting to go in the snow. But it wasnt long until he was out playing. He just needed a little push from his momma! Colton buggers loved the snow. He was crawling around all in it. We started to build a snowman but then Jr learned how to pack the snow and have a snowball fight so that is all he wanted to do! That boy has an arm! We ended the day by coming inside and getting in our pjs and playing by the fire! I had the best time with all my boys. I love our quality time together! Saturday we got up and went for a walk in the snow and played with the neighbors doggies! We then had to head to Allatoona and set up for church. That night we ended uop spending the night at our friends house bc Matthew had to be able to make it to church Sunday and here by our house everything was still wet and Matthew was not taking any chances on not making it to church! We had a fun weekend as a family and I am so thankful for it bc these days we dont get to spend much time together between Matthew working 2 jobs and taking any side jobs he can get! I know this is just a season of life we are in but I sure will love it when it doesnt have to be this way!

My Valentines!!!

I just wanted to take a moment and write a note to each of my sweet valentines!!!

Jr- I love you baby boy! You are such a fun little guy. You have brought so much love and joy to me and your daddy in the past 2 1/2yrs. You are quite the talker lately and it is so cute! You always refer to yourself in the 3rd person. You love to line up your cars and play. You also love to throw toys all over the floor and run your huge dump truck all over them like its a monster truck. You love to read and say your prayers right before bed. At the dinner table is anyone starts to eat before we pray you make sure we stop and pray first! You will just randomly walk up to me and kiss me through out the day, that always puts a smile on my face! You have the sweetest heart and you are so compassionate towards others! You are the best big brother anyone could ask for. You make Colton laugh constantly. You help him when he needs help, like giving him more food or telling us when he needs a drink! Oh, I could go on and on about you...all of these and more are just a part of the reason I love you so much. You are so fun to watch grow everyday! You are my sweet Valentine and I love you Juju Bug!!!

Colton- As I type this right now you are laughing at your crazy big brother. Your toothy grin is soo sweet. Everytime you smile at me it just makes my heart burst with love! You love your sleep and I am thankful for that considering your brother does not! When I come in your room to get you from a nap or its morning time you are just laying there talking and laughing at yourself! You absolutly LOVE to eat...anything!!! When you eat you are happy and as soon as the food is gone you pitch a fit until we remove you from the table! You are starting to walk and you love it. You just laugh and laugh when you walk! You are spoiled rotten but you dont mind at all! The only word you say is "uh-oh" and "juice" you refuse to say mama but you sometimes say dada!You jusy jibber jabber a lot! I love you more then words can say. Every day is a fun day with you! You are my sweet valentine Colty Buggers!!!

Matthew- I love you! You are the most amazing wonderful man who seeks first, God. That is what I love most about you! You love God which in turn allows you to love me and the boys with all that you have! You make me laugh like no one else. You are the hardest worker I know whether its the house, church, cars, just for fun! You are never still which can be so frustrating but at the same time its one of the things I fell in love with! You take care of me and the boys, allowing me to be a stay at home mom and for that I am forever greatful! At the end of the day when I tell the boys dada is on his way home they both run for the door and wait there until you get home! Thats how much they love you, they cant wait for your embrace when you get home! And truth be told, neither can thier momma! I love to watch you play with the boys and teach them new things. Right now watching you with Jr work on cars brings tears to my eyes bc you are so good with taking the time to let him learn how to do things. He loves his dada more then words can say. Yall 2 are so much a like that I know one I will be playing referee between you two but I love the fact that he wants to be just like you. You make me feel like the most special girl in the world just by the way you love me! I fall more and more in love with you with each passing day. You are my forever valentine and I hope I show you that every day and not just today! I LOVE YOU!!! I have so much more I could say but for now I will just leave you with this little bit!

My Sweet Boys!

The other day I got these cute pjs from babies r us! This morning the boys have been playing so well together so I just felt like showing them off to yall today! Latley they have been fighting a lot....when Colton gets a toy Jr runs right over to him and grabs it out of his hand and then Colton just hates that and starts pitching a fit. Now that Colton is walking I know it wont be long till he is beating up on Jr bug! Oh, life with boys! ha!

Colton walking!!!

Colton Buggers is 1!!!

I know this post is a few days late but it has been crazy around here! Matthew and I got back Friday (Coltons bday) evenig from the bahamas and then saturday we had his party and sunday we had church and our bible study group over for dinner that night! So anyways...HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET BABY BOY COLTON! He turned i on Jan 29th! This year just flew by for me. I cannot believe he is 1! He is the most lovable sweet little man. He is a great sleeper and eater. He loves his bog brother and Jr loves him! They have started wrestling and it is so cute! Colton loves to laugh and really loves to do a belly laugh! Anything Jr does colton just laughs so hard! He has not started walking yet but he did take 1 step last night and I LOVED it! He was so cute! It is so funny how when he turned 1 he is like a new kid. He is so very happy and content all the time. Loves to wave to everyone and whenever he does something he always says "UH-OH". We went for his 1yr check up and he weighs a whopping 21.6lbs and is 29in long! He is smaller then I thought he was. 25%for weight and 50% for height! Anyways, I know this post is kinda all over about Colton buggers but I dont care! My sweet baby boy is 1 and we love him so very much! We are so excited to see what God has planned for him this coming year of his life!

The Bahamas!

This is the cabana where we got our massages!!! This was AWSOME!!!

View from our room!

Matthew and I were very blessed this past week to be able to get away and go to the Bahamas for a week! Somebody gave us a trip and we are so very thankful for it! It was awsome not to have to worry about naptimes and diapers and little mouths to feed! We were ready to get back and see the boys but we had so much fun together! We were able to reconnect as husband and wife and focus solely on each other for a few days! We needed it boig time! Matthew works at the church but he also has to work at night on cars so me and the boys dont get to see him much and when he is home we want to spend it together with the boys so we dont go out much just me and him....so a million thanks to wonderful people who gave us time away! We loved every minute of it!
