lucky mama

Some days are hard... I'll be the first to confess I am not super-mom. I get frustrated. I get overwhelmed. And a lot of times, I am just plain tired. But these two make it all worth it.


Check out this dirty little boy face. I love it. And I've said it before, and I'll say it again, it is amazing how something so little and cute stink so bad after working outside with daddy.


When I first went outside it was with the intention of taking pictures of this guy, so the ones of CJ were a total bonus. Will is growing so fast. I love when he does something new, but I also hate it because it makes him a little less of a baby.


He looooves his feet these days. Whenever he lays down, he immediately throws them up and tries to eat them. It's definitely cheaper than toys!



And this picture will definitely be on his dorm room wall at Baylor. :)


The one thing about Will that remains unchanged though is his smile. He is such a happy baby. In fact, the company who monitors our security system just came by to test it, and both techs commented on how happy and cute he was. They were so busy talking to him and making him laugh, they kept getting distracted.



And here is why we lost CJ during the photo shoot and also why his face was so grimy. He was helping daddy move dirt and plant a little grass seed on some bare spots in the back yard. I love how he loves his daddy and wants to do exactly what he is doing. Sure, when he falls down, he wants me to hug him, and at night, he wants me to put him to bed. But during the day, if he could, he would play guitar with daddy, mow with daddy, move the water with daddy, go to work with daddy... anything his daddy does he wants to do. And these are all things that he asks to do on a daily basis. The other day, he got on his truck and said, "by mommy. go work daddy. truck." Translated, "I'm getting on my truck and going to work with daddy, just like he does."
