freeze frame

You know those moments as parents that we would like to freeze in time? I had one yesterday. We were getting ready to run some errands and I was waiting for Tucker to come out of his room.

I heard him say "Mommy, I am holding Maddox's hand!" and I turned around to see them walking out hand in hand. Just then Maddox stopped walking and leaned his head against Tucker in a 1 yr old  hug. Melted my heart.

Freeze frame.

I scrambled to grab my camera which was lost on top of the fridge under a paper, waiting to be discovered today. Sigh. So no picture, but such a sweet moment.

all boy

Does it ever strike you funny when people say of your son "he's all boy!" Well I sure hope so...  I'd hate for him to be part girl.

Last week my brother in law came to visit with his son Simeon, who is a year older than Tucker. They were for sure all boy..not that I was looking for reassurance. To say they had fun would be a gross understatement. They were non stop wide open rip roarin' all day long till they reluctantly crashed into bed. There were lots of grunts, noises, farting, superheros, chaos and tons of laughter! I loved it. My brother in law also has a sweet camera and captured some fun pics. It was nice to be in a few of them since I am usually behind the camera. 

Here are a few of my favorites!


Seriously how cute are they?

Bouncy house at the Chocolate Festival...for about 5 min till it got rained out.


Bubbles at the park




Our sweet very fat beagle Jazzy soakin' up the sun




Everything was a gun. All week. Lots of cops and robbers, superheros, and star wars play
Seriously...love this one. Might be my favorite.
Climbing a tree...or trying their hardest
We had tons of these butterflies in our holly tree, and on the shed beside it
Man I love these two guys
Maddox adores slides, he laughs the whole way down

 After Simeon left Tucker said "Mommy, I wanted Simeon to stay and play because I love Simeon!" Fun times!
