My Boys!!

Maddox you are now 3.5 years old! 

You are a sweet boy!  You are getting better everyday about playing and being kind to Ryder.  You are a great big brother!!  I know you will always look out for Ryder and I know he will always look up to you!

You are very smart and you love going to school!  You are currently learning to write your letters, learning to sound them out and you are working on your coloring skills of trying to stay in the lines!  Your imagination is HUGE!! You have no problem sitting in the floor and playing with all your trucks and equipment and you are just talking away while you are playing!  In your own little world.  We hear you say Unc Kev a lot….too cute!

You know all the different makes of tractors and can identify them by color.  Your favorite song is Jason Aldean’s Big Green Tractor.  You sing it several times a day! 

You love riding your new tractor, even when it is super cold outside!! You still sleep with your pappy and blanky and Mommy is OK with that b/c I’m not ready for you to give them up yet either. 

You love to lay in bed with us at night to wind down….you have to have your pappy, blanky, chocolate milk and a piece of cheese and you currently love watching Super Why and Sid the Science Kid.  You also like to watch Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Mickey Mouse Club House, and Duck Dynasty!

You shock us everyday with how much you know….you say the cutest things!  You are becoming more and more independent and it does make it a little easier but I also want to cry wondering where that flash of time went that you were a baby and toddler.  You have a sweet heart and I look forward to seeing all the GREAT plans God has for you!

Ryder…oh Ryder….where do I even start with you? 

You will be 19 months on January 16th!  You are a little ham! You are sweet and cuddly yet independent and PURE BOY!!

You think its funny to hit!  But you always follow up with the sweetest hug b/c you know hitting is wrong.

I’m pretty sure all the dents and scratches in our new floors are from you. Instead of throwing balls like Maddox did at your age…you like to throw trucks!!

You are starting to stand your ground with Big Brother!!

You love playing outside!

You are a Mommy’s Boy!! You melt my heart!

You are shy to people at first but you quickly warm up to them.

You mainly love everything that Maddox loves right now!  You kinda skipped all the baby toys and moved right on to trucks and tractors! 

You love to use the sock em boppers!

You sleep thru most of the nights. You currently have been going to bed around 10 and get up at 8.

You love to put on hats of any kind!!! And you are obsessed with putting on shoes!

You have 12 teeth…8 completely in and 4 molars are half way in at this time.

You eat good sometimes and sometimes not.  I would say your favorite food is pasta!

And I have to be completely honest….you are in a bad stage of picking your nose!

You now love to be read to.  Your favorite books are the picture books that you point to what we ask you. 

You also love airplanes right now…and looking at pictures of them!

Your nickname around here is Denise…aka Denise the Menace!  That face is full of mischievousness.

You are a climber!!! Whatever you can climb and stand up on…you do!

You are already learning to use the iphone.  Your favorite app is the Talking Tom Cat! 

You are a mess and keep us laughing.  Me and Daddy are constantly looking at each other and shaking our heads!!

At times, I think you have already hit the terrible twos.  You have learned how to throw a fit!

But, you usually get over it really fast and your right back to your fun little self!!

We have the sweetest, smartest, cutest, most precious boys ever!!

Everywhere we go strangers tell us how handsome you boys are!!  You already make us so proud!!

We Love You Forever….We Like You For Always…As Long As We Are Living…Our Babies You’ll Be!!!

Maddox Plays Tee Ball

We are having so much fun watching Maddox learn to play tee ball!!  He started practicing around the end of August and had his first game while we were at the beach.  So about 2 weeks ago I shot these pics of his first official game!!  We were so proud of him!!  To be just 3 he is doing a great job!! 

He is the youngest one on the team.   We weren’t sure he would get to play b/c the league starts at age 4.  They will let a 3 year old play if they are close to 4 but at the time we signed Maddox up…he was 10 months away from being 4. 

Fall ball is more laid back than in the Spring so they let him play anyway!!

He is really starting to learn all the concepts of the game.  He is a decent little hitter…he has hit a few to the grass.

He also likes to play in the grass!!

Chris is a base coach when he is there.  There have been several makeup games on Friday nights and Chris can’t be there b/c of his commitment to coaching Football.  He also had to work this past Saturday and had to miss.  I know it kills him to miss a game but sometimes it just can’t be helped.

He has his tongue stuck out…too funny!!

First Base

Second Base

Third Base

Running Home!!

Game Over!!

This past Saturday Maddox was on 3rd base and his coach told him to run hard to home plate and to make sure he tagged it.  So when Maddox got home he bent down and touched the plate with both hands!! Too funny!!! I was laughing so hard!!

Throwing ball into our busy schedules has really gave me a glimpse of how crazy busy life is going to be with 2 active boys.  But I wouldn’t trade it for the world and I just pray I can make it to everything they ever have!! I don’t want to miss a thing!!

God is so Great…..Have a Blessed Week!!

Blessed To Be A BOY Mommy!

Tonight I am linking up with Kelly at Kelly’s Korner for her Boy Mom’s Posts!! So if you are new here…WELCOME!!  I love blogging about my 2 precious boys….and our journey in life!!

I love finding bloggers who have all boys and especially ones that have boys the same ages as mine…it’s so nice to find people you can relate with!

Meet my Boys!!!

Maddox is my oldest and he is 2 years and 10 months!!

Ryder is my baby and he is 10 months!!

I can not believe how different these 2 brothers already are!!

I pray they will be best buddies and always get along!!

Ryder is already keeping us on our toes!!  He is into everything and is fearless!!  He has been army crawling/crawling since he was 7 months…when Maddox was his age…we could sit him in one spot and know he was going nowhere!  That is only the beginning of their differences!!

Ryder is a little sweetheart and gives the best kisses!!  Even though he is busy…he is an extremely good baby!!  He is growing by leaps and bounds and as his ONE year birthday quickly approaches…my heart hurts a lot little.  He weighed 23 lbs at the dr. this week!

Maddox is our big boy!!  He is 2 and  weighs 43.7 lbs!!! I think it’s so funny that I am buying him 5t’s and Boys XS…how quickly he has grown!!!

Maddox is currently obsessed with Monster Trucks!! He also likes balls, tractors, dump trucks and all construction equipment! He goes to preschool 2 days a week and loves “school”!

He is recently Potty Trained and doing great!

He is saying the funniest things at this age!!  Everyday me and my husband will just look at each other and laugh at the things he will say…truly brings Joy to our heart!!

Before I had kids….deep down….I always felt I would love to have 2 boys.  God gives us the desires of our heart!!! (He also knew I would go bankrupt with a girl….ha!)

I wouldn’t have it any other way!!!  I love my Boys to death and I adore being a Boy Mom!!!

Thanks for stopping by….Be Blessed!!!

Blue Eyed Boy

I think it would be safe to say that these blue eyes melt my heart and have me wrapped around his tiny little finger!

disclaimer..this picture was not edited

Last Wed I had some appointments during the morning so Mom had the boys…when I went to pick them up Maddox decided he wanted to stay with his Nana a little longer.  Ryder and I got to spend some one on one time together once we got home.  That time is very limited so I just soaked it up!!

Look where his passy is!!

Saturday the boys had a little trampoline time!!  They both love it.  I have a feeling it will get used a whole lot this summer!!

Monday I was in a Paul Mitchell workshop all day and tomorrow morning I have some more appointments to go to…so after lunch tomorrow, I will be one happy Momma when I get to spend the rest of the day with my loves!!
