I feel like I say this a lot...but sorry for the delay in blog posts! Aside from being busy as usual with the boys, my laptop hasn't been doing so hot lately...but I think it has enough juice in it right now to get out some videos and updates....Once I upload some pictures on here, I will post those as well!!
The first video is from their birthday party. It's of course of the best moment ever, their own little pig cakes!! Shockingly...Noah didn't dive into his like we all thought. But, I think the boys still not feeling well and the 3 inches of pink icing contributed to his lack of "pigging out". If we had thought to take off some of that icing later, it would have been all gone for sure! Either way, it was great to watch both the boys mess around with it!
The next video is from the end of the party...Noah of course being awesome in front of the cameras....and the ladies :) . He is such a silly boy. We are STILL waiting on Nicholas to start walking around like his brother, but for the meantime, he is living it up on the floor...haha. I really think he is the fastest crawling baby ever. But, I also can't believe how FAST Noah is walking now...I swear he is on the brink of running...and this scares me to death!!!
Next video is of one of my Dad's visits to his "little mens". Let me tell you, those boys LOVE their grandpa. They get really, really excited when he shows up at the door and plays rough with them...haha. And its a sure thing that when "Coach" is around, the boys will always be laughing!!
Let's see....next video...oh yes...WE SURPRISED GAMMY AND PAPA!!!! Yes!! Unfortunately the circumstances weren't the best for why Gammy and Papa had to be in Tennesee, but we made the most out of it. At the very last minute, my Dad and I decided to take the boys to Tennesse after their photo session with Lindsay (more on that later!!!). The boys did great considering the long day they had. We got to my Aunt and Uncle's house in Hendersonville, TN late that night and got a tour of their awesome new house. Nick adjusted to their big dogs better than we thought he would!!! We went to bed that night....almost no sleep for Mama because the boys don't sleep the best when they are away from home...don't think they are big "Pack and Play" fans. We woke up the next morning and after we got ready, we took off on another 2 hour drive to surprise Gammy and Papa!! My Uncle Jeff had called and fibbed to them saying that he was there to meet them at KFC to grab some lunch...Dad and I waited inside with the boys, and watched Gammy and Papa walk up and into the store...and we were standing there with the boys and a video camera in hand!! Needless to say, they were totally surprised!! And the boys DEFINITELY did not forget who they were like Gammy was afraid of! They could never forget those two! So we got to spend the rest of the evening with them until we left to go back to my Aunt and Uncle's house to sleep. And I should point out that on our way home, we saw Reba McEntire's house...and HOLY CRAP is it HUGE. Seriously, one of the biggest things I have ever seen in my life! Must be nice Reba!!! Haha. So we went to bed that night to sleep for our big drive home the next day. Chaos ensued the next morning as we all tried to get ready...Noah had followed my dad and Uncle outside and fell off of the steps onto the driveway...scariest thing I have ever had happen to me. Literally made my heart stop and I still don't really remember what happened the first 5 minutes. But, he is a tough little guy and pulled through with a cut up nose and forehead. We stopped SOOO many times on the way home to check on him, he looked like a battered child!! But we were so thankful it wasn't worse than it was! But....with all that being said...We loved surprising Gammy and Papa...and it was really nice to see them!!! We only wish that Grandpa and Pat had been there too, AND Aunt Pauline!! That would have been perfect!
Okay...next on the agenda...the boys are great learners!! So smart! Haha. I have recently taught them some new "tricks" and they are pretty hilarious...as seen on the video below! When you say "I'm not listening" to them, they cover their ears!!! I love it!! haha. Sometimes Nick gets confused and covers his face, but at least he tries!! Haha. Noah is also doing great at waving goodbye when you tell him bye. And just yesterday, Nick started giving me kisses when I ask for them...but I haven't gotten that on tape yet. I swear, these boys are SO MUCH FUN! (most days, hahaha).
Okay...I have more videos...but I will save those for another post soon. Don't want to overwhelm you all with too much cuteness in one sitting! Things have been going great with the boys! As I mentioned earlier, we had their one year pictures taken by Lindsay Johnson. She is also going to be our wedding photographer! The boys really loved her, Nick especially! He is a ladies man! She got some really awesome shots and I can't wait to see them and show all of you! We even took more little cakes there, and they did MUCH better with these...so those will be awesome to see! If anyone ever needs a photographer for anything, USE LINDSAY! She is the best!
Other than that we have been hanging inside due to cold weather until today! It was gorgeous! We played with some bubbles which the boys loved, and Noah got to walk to the car for the first time holding my hand!!! So cute! We are getting excited to move into a different apartment a month from now...and trust me, it can't come soon enough!! Every inch of our place now is filled with toys...so when we move, they will have their own room for all of that!! YES.
And lastly, just to update everyone, we are most likely moving the wedding date back a couple months...we just need some more time to get things together! We will be sure to let everyone know what happens for sure!
We love all of you, and thanks for reading their updates!!
