Van...The destroyer of plants.

This exact scenario has happened at least 5 million times since Van has figured out how to move.  I love my plants, but this one may not survive my 10 month old!

The Victim

The Accused

He attempted to eat the evidence!

Mom...I promise this is not your precious plant soil on my face!  I'm innocent!

Blowout on the Turnpike!

Last week we had an exciting thing happen on the way to work.  I heard a really loud pop, my truck jerked to the right and then a lot of really loud thud thud thuding as I made my way over to the shoulder.  The tread on my tire had decided to blow off, which caused some damage to the truck.  It was pretty scary but thankfully, there wasn't anyone hurt in the process!  So make sure that your tires are in good shape!  One thing I thought was funny was Wiley kept saying, "Momma's tire broke!  Momma's tire broke!"

Turtles and Snakes! Oh, My!

Wiley and Van went to a birthday party with "extreme" animals!  It was really cool and I think I had as much fun as they did.  Sorry the pictures aren't really clear, they were from my I-phone.

Wiley goes to the dentist...well, really his momma the dental hygienist!

Wiley had his teeth cleaned for the first time and he did great!  He let me count his teeth, tickle his teeth and do fluoride!  He even let Dr. Cash check everything out!  No cavities!  I was so proud of my big boy!

DISCLAIMER:  I usually wear gloves and a mask while cleaning teeth...I figured since he is mine it doesn't matter if we share germs!

Waiting on Momma to get to cleaning!

Smelling the orange vanilla toothpaste!

Getting his teeth "tickled"!

We snack in style!

Birthday suit plus diaper style!  It leaves less of a mess to clean up later!

Little cheerio boy!

OJ and fruit!
Wiley always asks for "more stwaberry and buberry peas!'

My little bruiser!

Van is now 9 months old.  Can someone please tell me how that happened?!  Anyhow, he is definately trying to walk now and I have actually witnessed him taking a step!  It's absolutely crazy!  Because of this crazy trying to walk business, he has tons of bumps, bruises and falls!  Poor little guy is always slamming his head on something and I promise it is NOT always Wiley's fault!

I'm pretty sure this is what I can expect my tupperware cabinet to look like for the next few months.

Mom, don't be mad!  I'm so cute when I make a mess!

Love this sweet boy!

Hands......

No Hands!



This is what happens when you bonk your head on the coffee table! 
He is even cute when he crys!

Playing with Nonna!

Nonna, Justin's mom, came to visit the boys last week!  They always love to see her and they love playing with her.  She is a wonderful Nonna to our boys!

Playing with puzzles!
