The Weekend

Dinner at Texas Roadhouse with Friends.

If you have been to our house lately, you have been able to witness first hand, Raylan's screaming voice.....he has learned that he can scream/yell. Pretty much for no reason. It's just short little bursts of screaming like a frog. Yeah, that got annoying real quick. We have been trying to curb this new found skill by patting his lips and saying, "No screaming Raylan." I don't think it's helped at all. So anyway, the point of this little story was that the entire restaurant was treated to the vocal stylings of my child....

What handsome boys!!! Woot, Woot!

Bath time!!!!! Both of them were pretty much covered in apple butter and ranch from being at dinner....

If you are a mother, you will know what I mean when I say that I just wanna squeeze these little tushies all day long!!! So cute!! 

We have been on a point system with Sawyer for good behavior at school and last week he earned himself a treat of going to see the new movie, "The Croods". He was sooo excited! So Saturday morning came and off we went to a matinee showing. Normally we don't let Sawyer get the kids snack box when we go to a movie becuase those things are like $11 bucks! By the time you buy movie tickets, pop and popcorn for everyone, you are out $50! I'm sure in years to come, Sawyer and Raylan will give me grief for being THAT mom who brings popcorn from home in a zip lock baggie and juice boxes....Anyway, not this time! He got to pick out his kid's snack box and he could barely believe it! It was soo cute. The movie was great, Sawyer thought it was hilarious. 

Later that evening, we went out to dinner to celebrate Papa's 56th birthday!!!

Unfortunately Raylan woke up and thought we all needed to hear his screaming voice again....until Nana gave him a huge dinner roll and that shut him up on the spot! It was amazing! He sat there nice and quietly the rest of the time just going to town on that bread! Note to self: always bring a dinner roll in the diaper bag!

As always, we headed back to Nana & Papa's house for gifts and cake. Raylan has just started pulling himself up on everything and the toy basket is the perfect height! He stood there (with his little jeans sagging in the booty) and rummaged around in that basket forever! He never pulled anything out, just rifled through it.

Of course daddy and Sawyer needed to do some blanket wrestling too....

Nana and Papa have been doing P90X (a very intensive workout program) for a few months now and it's totally paying off! They are both looking and feeling GREAT! Way to go guys! Since Papa is getting so buff, we got him some heavier weights and a new pull down bar! 

Happy 56th Birthday Papa!

Nana was pretty excited that she was able to get double use out of her 5 and 6 candles left over from Sawyer's last two parties! Way to really get your money's worth out of those .99 candles! :)

Sawyer has dubbed himself the official ice cream-scooper.....which means portions vary WIDELY in size! Sometimes you get what resembles a chocolate curl and other times, it's half the container.....and of course Raylan wants to be up where the action is! 

Bill took a piece of card board and fanned the boys! Nothing like wind in your hair! :)
