Milestones....

The boys and I have really gone through so much over this past year....and it's all finally coming together. I feel like "limbo" is the word that best reflects what our lives have been like over this past year and a half, but the wait for normalcy is finally over. 

We have been doing so many things I can't even keep up on the posting. But here's a brief recap of what all of us have been up to. 

The boys absolutely love our new backyard....they better enjoy the last few weeks we have before it gets too cold to enjoy it. They had a blast one day with bubbles....and was able to capture some really funny pics of them dancing around trying to catch the bubbles. Super adorable!

We watched Jane and Kent's dog, Maggie, while they were in Hawaii. The boys were thrilled to have a dog in the house to play with. These poor boys got used to having Timmy around everyday...so having Mags around was a nice treat for them. She really is the cutest dog....although Jake thinks she's evil. :)

Carter and I made a chain for how many days until he started Kindergarten....he loved taking the links off each day. (Don't mind the "no shirt" that kid won't sleep with a shirt on to save his life)

Here are my little men.....these two munchkins bring me so much joy....I absolutely love being their mom. 

Jake and I (mostly Jake) painted the boys' room red. It's a gorgeous deep red that looks really cool. I didn't get any before pictures, but it was pink and light green....so for two boys...it's a vast improvement. We came home one evening to find new bedding for the boys. Jake bought Mario for Carter and Cars for Brax...super cute and the boys couldn't be more thrilled. 

This playground set was here when Jake bought his house....little did he know that the boys would have an absolute blast on it everyday! Carter has been getting so brave and climbing everywhere on it which has been so fun to watch....while Brax has been having fun swinging on his belly and singing made up songs. 

Carter has been doing so many things and going through so many changes....but this kid is such a trooper! Love him!

Brax is becoming quite the "chatty Kathy" but I must admit....it's really fun!
