Sunday morning excitement

It's not even 8am on a Sunday morning. Too early to start getting dressed for church. And, Jerry's still sound asleep in bed. The boys have had our usual Sunday morning breakfast of a donut with sprinkles and milk, and now we're all hanging out down in the basement. Carter loves his ball-blowing toy that he got from Miss Kay and Mr. Paul for Christmas... and here's proof! Enjoy the giggles and screaming! =)

Field Day

Yesterday was Grayson's Field Day at school. He told me it was the best Friday ever! Since I was at work, Nana and Carter went to Field Day to cheer Grayson on! The bean bag race... good balancing!!
Grayson in the middle, with his good buddies, Isaac and Finley, stop to talk with Carter

The chicken toss?? (Speaking of which, we are FINALLY getting a Chik-Fil-A!!)

The soccer dribble... score!

Thanks SO MUCH to Nana for not only going to Field Day, but for taking 101 pictures. I'm serious!! She took 101!! Thanks, Mom -- you're the best!

Stopping to have some lunch outside... Carter is having a ball =)

He loves to swing

Hugs with his good friends!

A fun day was had by all!

Happy Mother's Day

Dear Lord,

Thank you for the blessing of these two treasures. I can't imagine my life without them. It amazes me how they teach me new things each day. They truly are a gift! I am blessed beyond measure. From Grayson wanting to read books together at night, to Carter's sweet smile... from snuggling with Carter while rocking him to sleep to having Grayson come wake me up in the mornings... watching Grayson do something and Carter want to do it right with him, too... Thank you for letting me be their mom.

Amen. "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations..." Ephesians 3:20-21

Grayson loves, loves, loves playing soccer

We have had a fabulous spring season of soccer and Grayson absolutely loves it. Today was the second to last game until the fall season begins. Here is Grayson's team:

Jack (one of the big brothers and assistant coach) and Coach Casey are in back

Elliot, Ben, Grayson, Claire, Jonathan, Clay, Trenton

Getting his medal... he was so proud =)

Carter even got to wear the prized medal... he just wanders around at the games...

A pretty proud little brother! Now where are the snacks?!?

Soccer footage

Here Grayson has the assist to the goal. His team, the Elephants, are in blue!

More soccer action... working on getting the ball to the goal... and then his mom got tired of taking video, so she stopped... and all of a sudden...

Grayson scores!! (You have to watch closely... sorry!)

Thanks to Ashley...

I got the idea for this post to be a "brain dump". Ashley's blog is one of my favorites to read!

Anyway, here it goes:

• I hate living in limbo, yet I'm thankful that we have chosen to put our home on the market.
• It's been on the market a little over a week, and we've had 4 showings -- 2 in the past 48 hours... hoping for the "contract" phone call soon!
• The hardest part about our house on the market is keeping it in "showable" condition with a 14 month old.
• Carter can destroy a room in a matter of minutes.
• Windex is my new best friend.
• Today's weather was gorgeous... 60 degrees and NO wind. Perfect.
• Grayson scored 2 goals in his soccer game today... his uncles would be so proud.
• I wish I lived closer to my siblings.
• There was a fight (no kidding!!) between the kids on the other soccer team... yes, this is the YMCA league. Most of the adults were gasping... then chuckling.
• I feel like the longer my hair gets, the more it sheds. It's everywhere!!
• I ran into a guy I dated for quite some time this past week at Chipotle. He and his mom were completely rude to us... couldn't believe it. Thought we were all adults now...
• I am so looking forward to a date night with Jerry on our couch, thanks to Redbox! We are watching "Up in the Air" with George Clooney. Hope it's good!
• Last, but not least, the latest "Modern Family" was so freaking funny!! We LOVE that show!
