Fun Saturday

Everyday, as I watch our boys, I'm reminded how life has changed since we had them.....before, it was about the career, the clothes, the fun, and now our lives are still filled w/ fun, but everything else has changed!  I can't imagine what life would be like w/o these 2 little angels we've been blessed with, so different from each other, yet I often ask myself "why would we want it any different"?  These 2 have brought so much joy into our lives and bonded Brenton and I in a different way.  They have helped us to mature and need each other in a different way, each and every day! Brenton is a wonderful 'Daddy' and our boys are blessed to have him. Ethan, is full of life and enjoys being outside, playing Spiderman, is a great big brother, loving and such a helper!  Colin, is our rambunctious little guy and keeps us on our toes every day....he is a picky eater, our cuddle bug, loves being outside, water, and our bookworm....  They are total boy, enjoy all the things boys do, and yesterday Colin proved that point 100%.....he found a mud puddle (Daddy was supposed to be watching him ☻) and loved every minute of it!  All I could do was smile when I finally got to see him....As I watched him, I just kept thinking he had this huge play area outside, but somehow found his way over to the puddles and you couldn't even see them from where we were; however, he found them =)

Pure boy this one.....not a care in the world!

While we were in Mansfield, celebrating our nephew's 2nd birthday, we decided that we wanted to see the Mansfield Reformatory.  Well, after the party, we headed out and found it.  Brenton was quite the daredevil and thought we'd be able to go closer and I said to him, that's 'staff' area and he went anyway.....Needless to say, we got blocked in the area where we were and were told to leave 'state' property....LOL  Thank goodness the jerk (who was just doing his job) let us just leave w/o any major fuss =)  However, it was so worth it and being able to see the 'pen' where Andy and Red were housed at was pretty neat..... =)

I can just see Andy in the courtyard getting rid of the dirt
