Getting crazier by the day!

So, am I the only one who expects life to calm down here in the near future?!? I keep getting past a deadline or project and expect things to just slide back into normal mode...but that normal mode just seems to creep further into the distance! Is this normal??? And then I think...should life really be this crazy??? I only have my two kids! How do those amazing moms manage who have more than two? I'm hoping that I am still in the transition stage...getting used to the whole 2-kid phase of life...but really, should it be that hard? :) We're not even doing that much...it's not like we have too much on our schedules...it's just life that is busy!

Today, we took a break and went to the park and it was sooooo nice! Granted it was still probably in the low 90's with humidity levels that make your hair frizz...but there was a breeze...and it was a nice breeze! It made pushing kids on swings and searching for lost matchbox cars in the wood chips very enjoyable!

Pictures are worth a thousand words, right???

So, the main reason for me doing the blog was to share pictures of our cute family. So here are a few from the last few weeks.

Here is our Ethan doing what he loves best. He lays in our tub and splashes for as long as I'd let him! Forget the baby bath...this kid wants the real deal...much better splashing potential!

Garrett loves forts and is determined to instill the love in his little brother. It's amazing the things that can keep them entertained!

Garrett decided during the tropical storm Erin that he now LOVES playing in the rain. I thought it was pretty funny...coming from the kid who asks to use the umbrella to go from the car to a store overhang 5 feet from his car door.

My cute boys...need I say more!?!

Poor Guy!

Here's what happens when Garrett is around for a diaper change - poor Ethan gets put back together all crazy-like while Garrett runs around laughing hysterically! Ethan is very patient and adores his big brother...in spite of his 'pants for hats' sense of humor.

Here is our family...through Garrett's eyes! I especially like my hair...quite stylish, I think!!! Garrett loves to draw and is getting quite good! It's fun to see your child's artwork evolve from the random scribbles to actual shapes and then finally into real objects! Don't get me wrong, I have loved the time of triangles and circles all over every paper in the house, but I am currently loving the people and animals that he chooses to make into his masterpieces!

Ready, Set, GO!!!

Hey! So I'm finally on board with the whole blog thing...though I'm sure it'll take a while to figure it all out and get things really rolling! I'm so excited though...I need a place to keep in touch with people. And since we all know how great I am at emailing, maybe this will help me out! Also, I'm hoping in some way to make up for my lack of record keeping...maybe this will catch enough of my family that I won't feel so guilty about not keeping a journal!

So stay tuned for our adventures...crazy stories about the boys, life in Texas, and our attempts to stay connected to our family, friends and loved ones!!!
