A few more lovies.

My Loves

He really loves her. :) This is us attempting to get some Valentine's Day pictures.

 

 My heart.

Sam Nolan is 2!

Sam Nolan's farm animal birthday was a success...low key=perfect. He loves the show "Chica" and since it was impossible to find it at Target, Party City, or anywhere, we went with farm animals. He loves them! He knows all the sounds and loves to make them. Here are some pics from the party:

 He makes this face A LOT. He thinks it's hilarious. In the car, he will sway his head back and forth, close his eyes, and then make this face. Delaney laughs every time. Class clown.

 He loved all his gifts!

 He hasn't taken this mask off that much since he got it.

 A little game of Pin the tail on the Donkey. He says to put it on the "p-hiney" (behiney) thanks to Nannie for that one. :)

Things he is doing at 2: TALKING a LOT! Non stop. Always. Favorites include: "Mone" (come on), "I eat", "favit" (favorite), "Uh too" (love you, too). He is basically saying everything you say and he answers questions. We ask him frequently if he has pooped and the answer is mostly "uh huh" with a nod. :) His dance skills are the best in the family. He has super fast feet and little turns and flips. Amazing. He loves to go in his room with "Sissy" and "pay" (play). He is enjoying Mother's Day Out (as am I) and he gets in trouble most everyday for messing with Delaney at play time...she has to tell me, of course. We put him in time out and he knows what that means. :) This is what he looks like when I try to take a picture of him.

 

This is what he does when he's done.

To end this blog, I wanted to put a Delaney "funny"- We recently went to Yogurt Mountain and were having a great time as a family when a guy who looked like this walked up...

Delaney looks right at us and says, "He's going to a concert that ROCKS." Yes, Delaney. That's exactly what that looks like. So funny!

 

Christmas Day 2013

We knew this year would be SO much fun since they are both at an age where they know what's going on. The time is flying and we are holding on to every little memory that we possibly can at this age. I didn't send out Christmas cards this year, but I think the picture below sums up what this Christmas felt like to us this year. Blessed. Delaney loves to talk about where God is and how Jesus was born. What a gift He has given us.
This year at Christmas, Sam Nolan called Santa "ho ho" and Delaney had already told Santa exactly what she wanted...Lala "Lucy" hair (Lala Loopsy) and a flutter fairy. Both of which she had seen on TV a billion times. Throughout the month, we had put our little elf around the house, so they were amazed when I told them that he was staying on the tree for the week until Christmas.

 Sweet kisses from my baby boy.

 And my bigger baby.

 We made put out the cookies and milk for Santa at Memaw's and brought them home. Delaney always makes sure he has eaten them, so it's a must-do. Christmas Eve was wonderful! Sam Nolan and Delaney felt so loved and overjoyed with all the food, fun gifts, and most of all family. They got dolls, games, cooking supplies, cookbooks, blocks, dvds, clothes, etc! On the ride home, we talked about the true meaning of Christmas and how Jesus is always with us.

 Santa came!

 This morning, I was the first one to wake up because I was so excited to see their excitement! Sam Nolan was not amused at his mother's wake-up call. Lazy bones. :)

 Delaney woke up happy, although she is not feeling well. Santa pretty much brought her everything princess and doll that she could possibly want.

 Can we say HAPPY??!! ((of course he is already eating)

 Santa favorite (a VERY last minute elf purchase on Christmas Eve...whew!): the two-seater police car complete with a microphone, buttons, and siren. Delaney was a pushy driver. :)

 Later on, we played and played, and organized ALL the new toys. Me=Type A. Then, we played with "elf yourself" on the phone. Sam Nolan got the BIGGEST kick out of it! He laughed and laughed!! Merry Christmas!!

Umm....still not sure why your glasses are messes up, Daddy. Yeah. Sorry about that. ;)

Morning!

Typical morning these days. Both kids, cuddles, and love. The flash made Sam Nolan rub his eyes, otherwise he was just laying on me with sleepy eyes.

Elfis

Delaney and Sam Nolan thought Elfis's prank this morning was funny. Delaney interrogated us on how and when this was possible...Curious cat.



Yesterday, we went to McWane center and had a wonderful time! Except when SN wouldn't quit screaming to get on the train. Patient he is not.















I also forgot to blog about Thanksgiving! I didn't bring my camera, but We had a "spontaneous Roberts outing" the night before since D and I would leave for Daphne in the morning. Everyone had their favorite and sang "Roar" by Katy Perry. Love our family car time with sweet little voices singing.











Thanksgiving morning we had a home cooked meal (Cracker Barrel's home) and had a yummy meal of pancakes and bacon. :)








D and I left for a fun trip to Daphne. It was her first Black Friday experience. She loved it, but loved the indoor pool more. :) My boys went to Nana and Grandaddy's for lunch. Everyone had a great time!!
