My BIG 3 Year Old

Guess who turned 3 years old today? I can't believe it! Time does fly by. He is so stinkin' cute that some days I can't stand it. We had a birthday party with his little sister in November so he has really been confused. We took him Friday night to Myabi (the Japanese Steak House) and he had so much fun. He kept yelling, "Fire! Fire!" Then they came and sang and played the drums. They made him stand up and he loves clapping his hands. It was a hoot. Hubby says we aren't going back for 5 more years. Ha!

Today he woke up and we had a book, a monster truck, and his first Legos. We played and played and then went to my moms to celebrate Christmas. He got birthday presents too...so he is just really confused.

He has just started potty training and is doing so good. Just number one but we will take that for now! Blow pops are his new best friend after he gets 7 stickers. The first time he said,"Momma? What are these called? These are yummy in my tummy!"

Oh I love my little boo boo. He melts my heart when he tells me he wants another "tiss" and a big hug. Or that he missed me! :)

My 2 year old

Yes, right now I am the mother of TWo 2 year olds.

Today we finally went to baby girl's two year check up.

She weighs almost 36 pounds and she is 3 feet tall. She is above the charts for both.

She is such a little mess. She won't say love. Just you too mom! She wants juice all day long. She is curiously watching her brother go pee pee in the po po! :)

2 Year Old Conversations!

Right now I have 2 TWO year olds. Yes, until December 23rd. Crazy, huh? Well, crazy, but they are soooooo sweet.

They are having conversations in the backseat.

ER made a turkey handprint at school the other day.

In the car, she hands it to T.

T: Evie Wose, you made this turkee for me?
ER: YEP!
T: Thank you Evie Wose! Look it has my name. T.R.A.C.E Thank you Evie Wose.

Moments later ER takes it back with a "MINE"!

It was sweet while it lasted!!! :)

Almost a 2 year old

I cannot believe this little girl is about to be 2 years old.

I am not sure how much she weighs or her height but we will find out soon at her 2 year appointment.

She is talking soooo much. Much more than her brother at this age.

She is soooo excited about her birthday, but I think it is because she loves CAKE. Recently when her and her brother were having a "picnic" in the bedroom, he was drinking milk and she was eating cake. She will try most foods even had some Greek Tzatziki sauce the other night with some cucumbers. 

She loves books. She loves her brother. You have to chase her to get a kiss. She is loving to be rocked at night. We have to say our prayer and "rock" as she says.

She loves boots and in the pictures below she has on her brothers boots. Don't tell him! ;)

She does love to say NO and mine! She also loves TV and "Donald Duck"! We took the kids to Disney on Ice but she was not too sure about it.

She thinks anyone with white hair is HO HO! Ha! HoHo the Hobo was at the Bilo the other day as well as at Target and he didn't even have a beard.

POP-seeeckle!

Momma finally gave in and let the babies have some of those cheap popsicles that you cut the top and eat! Well they love them. Trace wanted them for breakfast the other day! I make them go outside and we eat them out there. YUMMMMY. Mommy even had one tonight.

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Trace's rendition of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star is Dina Dina Dina Dar!!! :)

The British Accent

Trace has all of a sudden picked up this British accent. Listen for the word pool. It cracks us up we have him say it at the time when we are swimming!!! :) 

Evie Rose's New Laugh

Where did this girl get this new laugh? She is such a mess! But I LOVE it!!! :)

Father's Day 2012

Father's Day 2012 was a big hit. All we did was eat. We went to this yummy country cooking place for lunch, Goolsby's. The kids and I shared their yummy chicken fingers and good honey mustard to dip it in, momma had the yummy stewed tomatoes and rice, the kiddos had the macaroni and cheese, and we all shared green beans! Daddy always gets the fried pork chop! Then momma made lasagna for dinner. The babies ate it the next night for dinner and it was a big hit. Daddy got lots of handmade gifts from Mother's Day Out including his new koozie below. The kids love to say "CHEERS" with daddy! :)

EDVENTURE!!!!

Grandma BB and Mom and babies went on a road trip to Edventure in Columbia, SC on Monday. It is a Children's Museum. The babies had a pretty good time. Afterwards, we ate at the YUMMMY Fuddruckers and then headed home!

Someone would rather play with buttons than drive! :)

Farmer Trace

Boy loves the phone

Captain Trace of the "big boat"

This is Eddie...hence EDventure...however, Trace and Evie were not so sure about him!

Loved the binoculars

WEEEEEE!

Someone loves a slide

There was a butterfly garden and we weren't supposed to touch them. Don't worry they actually scared Trace!!!! He just liked the water fountain at the garden.

They both love to play with a ball.

Fill 'er up!

On the way there...watching what else? ELMO!!!!!

ELMO Comes to Town

Thanks to Uncle Layton who got us some great seats, we went to Elmo's Superheroes the other night. I thought Trace might be scared since when "HO HO HO" came to town he only wanted to wave to him! BUT Trace loved it. He even high-fived one of the characters when they came into the audience. Bert maybe? I can't remember! :) 

Mommy and Trace before the big show!
