I just know they are going to get into lots of trouble together someday...

I got more than a few great shots of the boys together this morning. I couldn't resist posting some of my favorites.

Quinn is learning his letters with the Leap Frog Fridge Phonics magnet letters and the Leap Frog Letter Factory DVD. Today he lined up all the letters one by one. Then it was off to dreamland for a good nap. When I check on him, I found him completely turned around with his feet on his pillow. It is amazing that kids get any sleep at all with as much moving around that they do while sleeping!

We spent the day at The Honda Classic golf tournament in Palm Beach. It was Tate's very first PGA event. Quinn is a little golfer in the making and was a natural on a little putting green at the tournament.  And the weather was sunny and beautiful. But unfortunately they don't allow cameras into this event. Not even cell phones, so no iPhone photos either. Anywho... we bought Quinn a Honda Classic hat and he got it signed by Sergio Garcia. He also got a little pat on the head from him too. I wonder if maybe one day Quinn will be signing hats for little kids... :)

It is so cute. He looks so grown up when he does this. I just love that I caught this little gesture.

Quinn has learned how to use my iPhone. He probably knows it better than I do! He can slide his thumb to unlock the main screen, tap his favorite apps, go through all my photos {in search of the ones of him playing golf}, play the bubble wrap game and pick his favorite show to watch {which mommy downloaded just for him}.

Now, no judging about the time these photos were taken...

He would play all day everyday if he could. Going outside to hit golf balls is one of his very favorite things.

 

What else could put a smile on his face? Seeing daddy come home from work...

Who knew a 2.5 year old would love bowling. Oh, except that he doesn't understand the concept of rolling the ball toward the pins. He kicks it. So, we call it kick-bowling. It works...

I've been inspired by Jen and her fabulous foto february project {which was inspired by another amazing photographer, Kristin}. I'm going to post a photo {or two or five...} of my life everyday for the next 31 days. Why? Because I want to remember the everyday moments. They will only happen this way exactly once. That is a lesson I learned when my first son was 5 weeks old.  I was stressed, beyond exhausted and more than a little overwhelmed. Quinn had arrived a few weeks early and was taking a little longer to adjust to the world so he was very fussy. {I think some people call it colic.} My patience was wearing thin in my over-tired haze when I stumbled across a photo of a celebrity's child {I think it was Violet Affleck} and couldn't believe how big she looked. Suddenly it hit me that my tiny 5 week old baby would be 3 years old in the blink of an eye! At that very moment I made a conscious choice to stop, slow down, take a deep breath and enjoy every moment of my son's 5th week of life {crying and all} as he would never again be this teeny tiny. And was I ever right! He is now 2 and a half years old and our new baby Tate is already turning 7 weeks old tomorrow. Where the heck did all that time go??? It is easy to get caught up in our busy, over-scheduled, hectic and crazy lives. Just remember that it is good for the soul to stop and be thankful for the moment ~ especially the everyday moments. So, this month I am ready to freeze time with my camera. I can't wait! This month of photos will be a gift to my boys, to my husband and to me... Our family in photos, March 2010.

day 1: when you poop in the bathtub you get to lounge on the bed while daddy cleans it...

He watches the DVD of them singing and dancing to this song over and over and over again! I even have this downloaded onto my iPhone so he can have his fix when we are away from home. Q is starting to *sing* the words and even has the head shake down too. He now has a toy guitar and some drum sticks {thanks to papa who made them for him} which he uses to play along with the music. I captured a few moments of him enjoying his first favorite song...

Quinn was excited to help. He put all the ingredients in the mixer ~ minus one egg that didn't make it as little 2 year old hands can be a little too rough sometimes! A day spent with my boys and chocolate cake for dessert. What could be better?
