Busy Boys

Life is beautiful, and we are always on the move.  Here are some phone pictures from our adventures over the past couple weeks.

Carson & Cohen at Palmer's 2nd birthday party 
 Cohen was a natural on the drums when we celebrated Cinco de Mayo at the O'Shields' house!
 Weekday adventures with Nona
 
 "Mud baths" - just like Shrek
 Weekly dinner at Sliders
It is hard to believe that this school year is coming to an end.  Cohen's class had a field trip to the beach last week.  So much fun!
And some very exciting news, Hendog is potty trained!  We did a weekend bootcamp, and it worked great!  Henry has been going strong for a few weeks now.  Such a big boy!

Beachy Keen

This past weekend was my favorite of the entire year, Mother's Day.  Nothing makes me prouder than being Mom to my boys.  David, Cohen and Henry made this weekend so special for me - I am one lucky gal!  We spent both Saturday and Sunday on the beach.  The weather was perfect, and we had the best time.  How could you not with these two?!

We are loving our new paddle board.  The boys go wild riding over the waves with Dad.
This is what Henry turns into when he and Cohen have to take turns on the paddle board...and it's not his turn.
Laura, Mike and Bennie came down for the afternoon on Sunday.  It was very special spending time with Laura on her first Mother's Day. 
 Love these two.
AND Cousin Meg showed up too!  What a treat!
 
 
These two wished me a "happy Mudder's Day" all weekend.  They are the best!
David grilled all of us girls lobster tails for dinner.
 
Cohen loved bonding with his little cousin - he fed her a bottle and helped give her a bath!
Happy Mother's Day to the awesome moms who raised us!  Mom/GG, Debbie/Nana, Pam/Nona - We love you so much!  Thank you for all you do for us, Cohen and Henry.
Amazing day!

CLT, Cousin B, Friends & Family

This past weekend, we drove to Charlotte to see Laura and Mike and meet cousin Bennie.  Cohen and Henry are in love with their new baby cousin!  She is perfect, and Laura and Mike are amazing parents!  We loved spending time in their adorable new home too.  
Although our visit was short, we were able to squeeze in some time with a couple of our best friends.  Cohen loved climbing the tree outside of Finn and Whit's house.
We hung out with Brady and Hudson Saturday and Sunday morning.  It was a blast!

   
We are very blessed to live at the beach.  It is paradise.  But a big part of me still longs for the gorgeous tree-lined streets in Charlotte.
We are back home now, and this week has been wild.  The other night, we had a blast playing hide-n-seek before bedtime.  I haven't laughed that hard in a really long time.  I love these boys to pieces.
Hiding from Dad in the bathtub.  Henry loves this game, however, he is not very good at it.  Once he hides, he quickly announces where he is.  "I'm in the space station!!  I'm in the bathtub!!"
Henry and his girl, Bailey, walking hand-in-hand into school on Wednesday.  They also walked out of school the same exact way.  Love how he loves his friends.  
Nona took the boys to the beach this week.  They had so much fun with her!
I can't believe May is already here!  It is the last month of school for the boys, and we are looking forward to a fun summer filled with lots of beach and pool time!
