Hungry For Snacks
Shortly before dinner, and resembling a scene from Cliffhanger, Chase was spotted trying to locate "Snacks" in the pantry. Thankfully all the snacks are in the lower drawers of the pantry where the kids can easily access them. However, Chase thought that maybe his parents might be hiding the mother load of snacks on the top shelf. To his dismay the only things on the top shelf were cups, juice, gatorade and paper towels. Thankfully Jess needed some paper towels so Chase was able to help her out with that task.
Apparently as boys get older, their desire to explore and to take risks outweigh their comprehension of what the consequences may be. Prior to Chase's "Summit for Snacks," he and Nolan were jumping off the bed and trying to land in the back of the dump truck. It was a unanimous decision not to show the picture of Nolan's elbow after the incident.

Coffee Table-1 Nolan-0
The old song "No more monkeys jumping on the bed" should also include the couch. Nolan decided Sunday night that even though he hasn't reached the age of 2 yet that he might possibly be able to fly. Chase, Trent and Nolan started off playing a game of hide-n-seek and the game quickly turned into a game of jumping on the couch.
The large thud coming from the other room and Trent saying "I didn't do anything!" tipped us off that something was wrong.
Nolan cried for about 30 seconds and then realized the ice was way more interesting than goose egg on his head.

I have been tagged...
First of all, anyone who knows me, knows that I usually do not do stuff like this. However, since both of my boys are taking naps (small miracle) I have decided that I have the time to do it.
Here are the rules: A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
1. I love to run. I really don't know why I love it so much, but I think everyone who knows me would say it is some sort of addiction that I have. If I do not run, everyone runs away from me. I am completely dependent on the endorphins and it is these endorphins that give me the rush to get through each day with my kids.
2. Organization was ingrained in me as a child. My dad is extremely organized and I am assuming this is where I learned the value of organization. I love to open drawers and closets and have them free from clutter. I have been known to throw things away (even useful things) if they contribute in any way to cluttering my organization.
3. Thursday. My favorite day of the week is Thursday. This is the day I clean my house. Again, another obsessive compulsive trait that I have is maintaining a clean home. I should say Thursday night is my favorite, because that is when the cleaning is complete and my home is free from any dirt that has been brought in from the "new trails" in the backyard that Hank made for the boys.
4. Biting my fingernails is something I have done for years. It is a habit that I have tried to break numerous times. Unfortunately, I have had no success. If anyone is reading this and has broken this awful habit...please let me know how you did it.
5. Going to the movies is something that I have not had the opportunity to do more than once a year since my children were born. However, I would like to change that soon. I love getting red licorice and popcorn and watching a highly anticipated movie in the theater (without kids).
6. Being with my family at home. There is no place I would rather be than at home with my boys (Hank included!). Even in my childhood, I was always a home-body. Now that I have created a home for my individual family...this is the place I prefer over anything else.
That is it...Now I would like to tag Sara, Jocelyn, Whitney, Angie, Liz M, and Jessica B. Please do not feel pressured to do it...especially if you do not have the time!!

Our Home...
I have been promising pictures of our home in
beautiful LaGrange, Georgia. So...here it is. Our
yard extends to the perimeter of the tree line. It is so fun to let the boys run and explore in the trees in the backyard. Steve and Hank made a trail through some of the trees a few weeks ago and the boys love to explore through the backyard "tunnels" as they call it.
