Sunny Day

Today was beautiful. Eric took the boys out for breakfast and I got to sleep in! This afternoon it was up to 70 degrees, so we took the boys to the park/playground.

Hampton loved the swing!

And Everett loved climbing up and down the stairs.......

Everett would only go down the slide if I went with him. Even then he was a bit nervous.

After we left we went to Chick-fil-A for their dinner. I had plans on cooking dinner, but we stayed too late at the park. After dinner, we went to Ritas for Italian ice and custard, which was a big hit. Such a pretty day. The boys were wore out and went to sleep with no protest.

Eric was playing around with our camera this morning and took some really good pictures of the boys. I know I am bias because they are mine, but they are so darn cute!

Cabin in the Woods

Last week I, along with my mom, Everett, Hampton, my sister, a my sister's boyfriend went to Gatlinburg, TN for a little getaway. We rented the same cabin that Eric, his mom, and Everett and I went to when Everett was only 3 months old.

The first night we were there we went to a restaurant called Calhouns. Everett really took to Jed.

We went out to a lot of restaurants and the boys did so well! We don't really ever take them out to eat, but now I think we are ready to venture out again.

The next day my mom and I took the boys to the aquarium. It was really nice and they had fun.

This is as close to a bear that we got.

The following day we went out to eat again at another restaurant and then drove to a place called Cade's Cove. It took awhile to get there on a long, winding mountain road.....but it was worth it. We took a driving tour and saw a ton of deer and some turkeys. No bears though.

We also did a little shopping out an outdoor village. Actually, most of the stores were closed. I did find a very cute diaper bag though and had it monogrammed.

Hampton pulling my hair.....again.

On the way back from Cades Cove we stopped and took some pictures in front of a waterfall.

Overall it was a fun trip. I was so pleased that the boys slept together in the same room (their first time) and did so well. I actually think their little noises comforted each other. That definitely gives me hope for the future when they share a room. I am exhausted, but it was fun.
