one brave boy

Ben had his very first x-ray today. He fell off a piece of furniture a few days ago and landed on his wrist. He cried for a few seconds, then seemed fine. He complained about it hurting yesterday so we thought we better have it checked out. Dr. Larue wrote us a prescription for an x-ray and we took Ben to Lake Wales hospital. We pretty much got in and out. Ben was so brave. The x-ray tech let Ben sit in my lap. He had three pictures taken and everything looked fine. We are so relieved!

Girls night out! (+ one boy)

Ben and I had a fun date with Laci and Marlee last week! We did some shopping at Eagle Ridge and had dinner at Chili's. We love our sweet friends!Ben and Marlee loved their lollipops. It looks like Marlee is saying "Yay!"

Marlee loves ranch dressing like her mama :)Ben with a mouth-full! He loves pizza and corn on the cob from Chili's.

sweet baby boys

I got to snuggle with TWO precious bundles of joy this evening. Reese and Brayden Irvin were born Friday, March 9th, and I have been dying to hold them. Their mama and daddy are doing such a good job with them. They look like pros already. Enjoy the pictures!

Sweet boys! Reese is on the left and Brayden on the right. Their mama and daddy say they have such different personalities already. Reese is going to be their little pistol, while Brayden is more easy-going.Cuddling with Brayden

FHS Alumni Game

FHS baseball hosted the third-annual alumni game yesterday. Jeremy and the team did such a great job putting it together. The BBQ pulled-pork dinners were so good! The alumni had so much fun reliving their glory days and competing with each other. It's so much fun to watch these guys come out and play again.

Ben really enjoyed himself at the ball field. He got to catch up with Payton and Hannah Ogburn. Hannah is having a good time in Kindergarten this year. Ben really misses her at Aunt Joyce's though.

Enjoy the pictures!

Yay! Jeremy made it to 3rd base!

Can you tell how much fun my husband was having playing ball again?! :)

Never Grow Up

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up

Just stay this little

Ben loves trains so I knew he would love this train engineer costume to play in. He was so excited when I gave it to him. He did not want to take it off. He wanted us to call him "Conductor Ben." I love this boy's imagination. I wish he could stay this little forever.

Date with Michelle

I got to hang out with my BFF, Michelle, last Saturday. We met up in Lakeland and went to the movies. We had so much fun catching up. She lives in Germany now with her husband, so I don't get to see her very much. I can't wait until her next visit.

Just Like Dad

Ben loves pretending to shave like Daddy. I love this picture of him.
