{ will }

this is the sweet 2 year old boy who fills my heart. 

tonight was one of those nights when i got hit in the face with time. and realized that it goes by far too fast. i need to get lost in the now…live in the present and learn to enjoy each moment with him

…before he’s big.

my precious little “baby” boy is now a full blown kid. a kid who loves ice cream and running around outside. a kid who is learning his manners and sometimes uses them. a kid who is crazy about his little sister and constantly smoothers her with love. a 40lb, 2 year old tank, who can knock over a full grown adult. a kid who had such a kind spirit and brings so much light to my life.

 

{ bang bang }

a date night like none other. fo sho.

First off, let me say that I've NEVER been around guns, never liked guns and only see them as killing machines. 

That being said...we went shooting last night. 

"shooting" meaning: take two guns out in a field and shoot at empty bean cans. 

How could we not enjoy ourselves with this as our backdrop?

Ryan the expert gun-man doing his thing

again, I say...never thought guns were cool, let alone sexy...but I think I changed my mind.  :)

My turn...I found it necessary to wear cute boots...and then take a picture of them 

so that I could enjoy their cuteness forever...this is what girly shooting is like I suppose.  

Targets set. Boots on. Earplugs in.

Let the shooting commence.

  

Really?! really. seriously. never. ever. in a million years 

would I have ever touched a gun before yesterday...

 Whelp, never say never!

see how happy we are to shoot things? ...it was kind of amazing.  

Probably one of my most favorite date nights. ever.

{ r. kiddies }

My babies. They really play well together.

so thankful for that. 

Will adores his sister like 97% of the time...and she adores him...

even in that 3% margin when he hits/pushes/attempts to wrestle her.  :)

I pray that they grow up to be friendlings. 

friendlings? 

I just made it up...friends&siblings=friendlings.

I like it...

and I love them.

{ living room }

After living in our first house for 4 months, one room is finally done to my liking. 

I guess this is our "formal" living room. 

But nothing about us is formal so I don't like calling it that. 

Movie watching is done downstairs, which is why you don't see a tv in here.

Since this is the first thing you see when you walk into our house, I wanted it to look good.

I've always loved a really long floating shelf...ours is actually 3 shorter shelves that we put in a straight line. (it was NOT a fun project to get them to line up)

On the shelf are family pictures and some art by Will...and some random doo dads.

(yes, I know 2 of the frames are empty...have to get some 5x7's printed off.)

kept it simple over here cause there's so much going on 

on the other wall

(and yes, that is a playmat under the couch...I like to keep my kids' things hidden.) :)

Looking into dining room

I love decorating our little house.  And making it feel all comfy cozy like a home.
