B & B are ONE!

It is so hard to believe my adorable nephews are already a year old!

They are the pudgiest, easy-going little guys & I love them so!

We had a great time celebrating them at their fishing party over the weekend.

 

Now that they're up & walking, that age gap between them & Noah is going too fade.  I can't wait to see these three boys get into trouble together! :)  Happy birthday Bennett & Brooks! xoxo

Mini beach trip

With Nana & Papa living so close to the beach, we had a nice change of pace by taking a mini beach trip last Tuesday.  Connor was interested in shelling and hide & seek, while Noah wanted to follow the birds & try to keep up with Connor.

We ended our trip with an ice cream stop, which everyone enjoyed!

It was a beautiful night :).

Family in town

Since I've been so busy editing photos of other people other than my family, I couldn't remember the last time I pulled out my camera with my kids!  

I did a session for my sweet friend, Mary, & her family last week.

After having two sweet boys, she was excited to reveal the gender of her baby girl on the way!

Then I met a wonderful lady & did some photos in her neighborhood this week.  The views were pretty amazing.

I remembered to pull out my camera the last few days with Matt's Nana & Aunt Nancy in town to capture my own family.  I wasn't able to get any photos of Connor though, since he was in school both days.  Here are some photos from our adventures the last few days...

My littlest water boy enjoys our mornings when we venture the other kiddie fountains, have a snack, then head home for a nice nap!

This little bug is growing ever so quickly lately.  He's still thoroughly obsessed with his ABCs, has learned how to count to 10, and adores his big brother like crazy.

He's my 'I do it myself' child.  Its great to have your child grow up to be independent, strong-willed & determined, but man, its a booger to raise them when they're kids.

Fancy Nance is always a hit with the kids!  Connor soaked up his super hero toy playtime with her pretty quickly & wants to know when we get to have Auntie Nancy come visit again! :)  She is a joy to have around!

Noah giving his Poppy some love.

We also took a little trip to the Four Mile Cove to see what it was all about, considering I used to pass it on the bridge almost every day since I was younger & never stopped to check it out.  

It offered some pretty photo views, but not so exciting with the wildlife spottings.  It was a nice, quiet walk, so it was enjoyable!

Noah was scoping out the water for fish!

These two. :)

The little Monster enjoyed himself, so it was a successful morning!

Easter

My littlest bunny decided to wake at 5:30am in an outright cry.  I'm almost guaranteed a night waking with Noah on the night's he's been with a babysitter.  It's great & all that he missed me & needs just one good cuddle before going back to sleep, but it's also nice when he sleeps through the night!  I managed to get him back to sleep, but I was now too awake to go back to sleep.  I opted to edit Katie's wedding pictures while I waited for my boys to wake.  Connor was cuter than anything walking into my room at 7:00am chipper and loud, "Happy Easter, Mom!" and "Happy Easter, Matt!"  He went on to say, "I prayed on my way down the stairs and thanked God for holidays.  I love holidays!"  Is he not the cutest?!

C scoped out his Easter pile from us (this year it included Avengers swimwear, Bebop from the Ninja Turtles, 'Surprise Eggs,' and a 'Blind Box' with an Avengers character in it).  C is all into the blind box phenomenon that is going around among all 5-7 year olds.  You basically buy a toy in a box, but don't know what it is until you open it.  He was THRILLED to see his box contained Spiderman, since he claims it's his favorite character these days.

Once the Noah Monster was up, we headed outside on our egg hunt.  C got to claim the goods in all the eggs this year, but pretty sure Noah will want in on the egg fillers next Easter.

Side note:  Noah had no idea the bunny ears were on his head.  He wore them for a good 20 minutes.  Once he ran and felt something flop around on his head, they were off & never returned again.  It was cute while it lasted!

We played basketball outside & had a nice, lazy day around the house.  After Noah woke from his nap, we headed to Nana & Papa's for more Easter fun.  C looks forward to his tradional Easter water balloon hunt.  His main target this year was his new Uncle Eric.

Noah sprung a hole in his water balloon & got a kick out of the tiny squirt hole in it!

This kid was full of giggles.

Welcome to the family, Uncle Eric.

Some very well dressed babies.

And the prettiest lab you ever did see.  Love you Bobo.

Katie's married!

The weather was fabulous!  The venue was beautiful!  The bride was stunning!  The details were perfect!  It was an amazing wedding & weekend.

The rehearsal

Wedding day!

Matt & I were sweating pre-wedding while trying to keep the Monster busy before the ceremony.  Let's just say I had no reservations sending him on his way after the ceremony back to our house with Aunt Debbie!  He's a busy kid.

This shall be framed in my home soon.  I could eat him up.

Goob.

The best I could get of the busy bee.

BFFs :)

It's amazing how great you feel with your makeup & hair done.  Fake eyelashes are beyond incredible.  Oh, to have my own stylists every day!

I dare you to find their flaws.  Seriously, perfection.

The details were so beautiful.  I wish I capture more of them.  She had the neatest 'guest book' that was a tree, where everyone signed a leaf.  There was a 'Sparkler Send Off' corner to let guests know we'd be do sparklers at 10:30pm to send the bride & groom on their way.  The dessert table was SO good.  I even ate grouper for dinner & LOVED it.  Yeah, the wedding was incredible.

A toast from Dad :)

My good looking parents (and pretty Aunt Kris too)!

We had such a good night celebrating!

Here's to the new Mr. & Mrs. Brewer!
