WOO HOO!!! He's napping today...even after sleeping 12 hours last night!!!

Although, that might not be a good thing if it keeps him up later. :( I could wake him up and not let him just wake up on his own? My mommy decision making skills are going to have to help me decide what to do with this child of mine and his naps. I guess he's about 2 months shy of turning 3, so I could pull the plug on the napping, and not feel too guilty. Do I absolutely need Christian to take a nap? NO! Does it make him any less or more crazy later in the day if he doesn't have one? NO! Do I love that he still is a solid nighttime sleeper and will go to bed with ease? YES! Do I love that his napping would free me from a couple of hours of brotherly squabbles? YES! I do love too that it might make him a bit more scheduled too. Oh the decision...I guess this no nap thing might not make him my little baby anymore either...boo hoo! I have had a good ride with both my kids and their fab sleeping habits, so I can't complain. Maybe it's time to start a new chapter of childhood nap free?!

I KNOW...I will sleep on it!!!

What to do with my little CW?!

Oh, my little Christian Walker...you are a stinker! This is you at dinner, making a train track out of your grapes and blueberries.

AND NOW...

YOU WANT TO GIVE UP NAPS???!!!

I can't even believe this is what you want? Don't you want your mommy to have some sanity? Don't you want your own peace and quiet away from me and Cutter? PLEASE, say that you do??!! Don't you know that you are still 2??!!

AHHHHHH...

BOYS BEING BOYS...

NO WORDS ARE NECESSARY...

OH, BUT OF COURSE LET'S NOT FORGET MR. CHRISTIAN!

I LOVE THESE BOYS!!!

It's raining...it's pouring...

It sure is...and we LOVE it!!! Seriously, rainy and cloudy weather is my favorite!!! It does make coming and going to school an adventure...

Christian just taking his sweet time.
DUDE...it's pouring...hurry up!!!


Okay...have a little playtime...why not?!

Cutter's turn...

Finally, back to the car and FREEZING!
WE LOVE OUR RAINY AZ DAYS!!!

Patience is a virtue!

That's right people it is!!! I am happy to say that my patience and parenting skills have paid off because this sweet boy...is now an official big kid!

WOO HOO...CUTTER ANDREW KENNEDY IS DONE WITH DIAPERS!!!

ADIOS PULL UPS, WE NO LONGER NEED YOU FOR POOP OR FOR BEDTIME!!!

THANKS FOR BEING THERE FOR US FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS, WE SO APPRECIATE YOUR LOYALTY!!!

Ok, that's 1 down and 1 to go...Christian get ready because this might be the thing to get me motivated!!!

HAPPY DAY...HAPPY DAY...HAPPY DAY!!!

Silence is golden...

Is it??? I guess when you have boys, silence usually means trouble! The blessing of a small house is that you can be in any room and hear what's going on in another. So, while in my room today I am thinking "oh, my boys are so good, nice and QUIET!" I should have known better...I walked out to find this...

Yes...Christian is getting ready to climb up onto the entertainment center. :)

"What? I didn't do anything?"


Cutter says, "Mom, it's our chairlift".


It could of been worse. I guess they just wanted to be close to the TV so they could put their feet up and relax.

Mental note to self: silence+boys=go check it out mom.

Park Play

What do you do when you can't go eat??? (I mean besides go insane!) You blow off nap time, get out of the house, and go to the park!!!

At least the kiddos are happy!!!
