Ice Cream!

Whenever we head downtown in the summer, Tommy requests ice cream from Kilwins. Now, they have a nice variety of ice creams to choose from, however, Tommy has only tried one of their flavors...superman. This ice cream contains every neon bright color you could imagine. It's so much fun to clean off his body and clothes! Here are a few pictures of Tommy enjoying his superman ice cream.

Beach Day

Hot weather has hit Michigan! After a cold and rainy spring, the sun and heat has been a warm welcome. We decided to head to Silver Beach to enjoy the weather. Tommy even splashed around in the cold water. We dipped AJ's feet in and he didn't seem to care either way. Can't wait to spend many days on the beach this summer!

AJ and Uncle Scott

Fenway Park

After spending a week in Connecticut, I'm back to blogging! We had a lot of fun visiting family and catching up with old friends. While we were there, Tom and Donna had a "surprise" for us that would be revealed when the whole family was together. Naturally, I was a bit nervous about this surprise as it was my first Cullen Family Surprise. Tom and Donna did this quite frequently to the boys. I could only imagine what Cullen Family Fun entailed, which I say again, I was pretty nervous find out. So last Thursday night, they revealed the surprise. They were sending Scott, Brian, Chris and me to Fenway Park! I couldn't believe it! The boys stayed home with the grandparents and had some spoiling done to them and we got a night away! We had a blast, even though the Sox lost. Thanks again, Tom and Donna, we all had a great time!

Birthday Party Fun!

The other day we celebrated our friend, Mackenzie's, 4th birthday. The kids had a blast playing and eating cupcakes. AJ and his girlfriends had fun too!

Cupcake fun!

Happy Mother's Day

To my boys, thank you for making me a mom. I love you two so much.

May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

-Bob Dylan

Down Time

AJ Rolls

I can't get enough of AJ's rolls! I love that the weather is warm and he can wear shorts and t-shirts, or just onesies so I can see all the adorable rolls! Here are a few pictures.

Swing Set Fun!

Here is a picture of Tommy and a few of his friends enjoying the swing set!

Plumber Butt

The other day, AJ was rolling around on his jungle mat and I noticed that his pants were sagging just like a plumbers! Of course I had to take a few pictures!

Look at all those rolls, everywhere!!

A Tale of Two Torsos

Playgroup Fun!

The other day we had playgroup at Belle and Abby's house. The weather was beautiful, so the kids spent the entire day outside! AJ, Natalie, and Kendall were there too! They were born about a month apart from each other and they did great too. Each of them took a nap outside! Here the kids are taking a break from play for a bit of pizza! Thanks, Jen for a great day!

Alien Jammies

These jammies are too cute, not to post a picture of! Check out those alien feet...they are also 12 month size...we are not even six months yet!!

Swing Time

I finally got around to putting up the baby swing for AJ. I'm so glad I did, he had a blast. We had beautiful weather today, so we headed out this afternoon and were swinging for a good hour! The boys loved it. Tommy kept saying "I love swinging next to AJ!" AJ kept looking over at Tommy and laughing. I took a quick video of it, but didn't quite capture the laughter and giggles that were coming out of the two of them. This swing set has been so worth it, they both have a blast on it now!!

New Neighbor

I noticed a bird's nest in the corner of our fence. I told Tommy about it and he wasn't impressed at all. Apparently he already new it was there. He then informed me that there was one egg inside, and then I couldn't touch it or the bird would "get really mad and peck your face off, and then you won't be able to talk". He's probably right.

Swingset

After two weeks, 20+ hours and about 3,000 expletives, the swingset is complete. There was only one board left over when I was finished. I'm pretty sure it's not load-bearing. I guess we'll find out...
