matix

Why Paul loves Matix, reason # 703 because after a long day of working and working and working and riding his bike the 10 miles back again he comes home to this little boy who just canNOT get enough of him.  Matix loves everything about his daddy.  When he grows up, Matix says he is going to be a doctor, like daddy, and ride a BIG bike, like daddy, and have big muscles, like daddy, and make these faces, just like DADDY!

tubby time

Hawken, my tiny, brave, spitfire of a little boy, was afraid of laying down in the bathtub for the loooongest time.  He is never afraid of anything, except this, until now.  He just figured out how to do it.  At first he was nervous...

But then, he LOVED it.  Water in his ears and mouth, but he loves it.  Now each bath time he has to do his new trick of laying in the tub. Good job big boy. I know you could do it.

Stone Mountain

One of the afternoons we went to Stone Mountain there happened to be a festival going on. It was put on by one of the radio stations here and there were tons of games and freebies and a band… So fun.  It reminded me of the Rasta Festival we went to in Miami, only less hippies. 

 

 

This is such a typical Matix face. Concerned and explaining something very important to me, that I obviously couldn't understand on my own... 

The boys were loving all the games.  Carnival style games but no prizes. Perfect for our little cheaters.

Lullaby is not content to just sit still anymore, she has to watch and tries to participate if possible.

Free balloons, the guy gave us 5, one for each of us… You know, in  case Paul and I needed our own too.

Dancing to the band. This was much more entertaining in real life.  They were all over the place. Paul had the camera and thought he was taking a video. Sadly, he was not.  This is all he got from the dance fest.

Lullaby being so sweet on us.

Car races before we left.

the lashes

Not the world’s greatest picture, by far, but this does show Lullaby’s looooong eyelashes. She has the most beautiful big blue eyes and long dark eyelashes.

Please ignore the orange tinted nostrils, she was having a blast eating and playing with her carrots for lunch...

Brave

We’re big Disney fans in this house, and even bigger Pixar fans.  So when we heard about the new movie “Brave” coming out we were pretty excited. On our way!

We went the day after it opened for the first showing of the day.  We were hoping it wouldn’t be sold out and it wasn’t even close, there were plenty of seats. Hooray!

The boys posed with their swords in front of the movie poster.  It was SUCH a good movie, including the scary bear that we were warned about.  A friend of ours has a brother who works for Pixar and he warned us about the scary bear.  It was pretty intense but the movie in its entirety was SO good. One of our favorites so far. Loved it.

box from grandma

A week or so ago,  the kids got a package from GRANDMA!  Usually the boys rip into any packages before Lullaby can get her hands on it, but this day, they were still napping, and miss Lully was awake.  She was actually getting what to do with the tissue paper, and did a good job getting all the fun stuff from Grandma Stacy out of the box. You can see a tiny preview of her cute little 4^th of July dress.  More pics to come from yesterday when she actually wore the dress, as soon as I download those.

Hawken woke up and was SUPER excited about the flags. He wanted his picture taken with this crazed but happy face. “It’s my SO happy face!”  

Thanks Grandma!! We loved all our presents! Love Matix, Hawken and Lullaby
