Aunt Wibby's Wedding

The past 2 weeks have been extremely eventful for us, and a big part of that was Aunt Wibbys wedding!  Libby married Adam Claycomb, a fantastic guy that she met in Oklahoma!  We are so excited that he is part of the family, my boys really adore him.  Adam and Libby got married in Denton and had a beautiful wedding and reception.  The boys were ring bearers and they did a fantastic job!  They looked so handsome in their tuxes.  My parents came in from Florida to help with the busy weekend.  It was a fun time had by all, and a BEAUTIFUL bride for a beautiful wedding.  Here are a few pics of the event-

Happy 2nd, Caleb!

My sweet little boy just turned 2, and I cant believe it! Caleb is such a blessing to our family and a joy to be around!  He is independent and does EVERYTHING his brother does.  Sometimes it just sounds like Owen has an echo in the room.  Caleb loves all things boy- trains, cars, superman, elmo. He is stubborn and strong but also sweet and cuddly.  He is so so precious!

This year he got sick on his scheduled birthday party, so we ended up doing a quick birthday with both sets of grandparents while everyone was together.  He got to eat a slice of cookie monster cake and had lots of elmo decorations!  He got tons of new toys and was loved on like crazy.  Happy Birthday, sweet Caleb.  I cant believe youre 2 years old already!

Recent Convos

I keep forgetting to post conversations with the boys, and I'm starting to forget them.  Heres a recent one between Nathan and Owen-
O- How does the doctor get the baby out of mommys tummy?
(I am having a C section)
N- Um, with his hands.
O- How?
N- He pulls him out with his hands.
O- How?
N- Ummmmm.
O- Out of her belly button?
N- Yea, kinda. He's going to pull him out under his shoulders.
O- Like this? *putting his hands under his armpits*
N- Yup, just like that.
O- Hmm.

(  He continues to ask every couple of days :)  )

And here was a bathtub conversation last night with the boys, they always just talk and laugh and act crazy in the bath-
O- I love you daddy!!!!
N- I love you too, Owen.
O- I love you mommy!!!!
M- I love you too, Owen.
C- I like you, Cawub!
N/M- ummm. lol.

Easter in Argyle

Libby, Nathan's sister, is going to be a beautiful bride in about a month!  On Easter weekend, we headed to Argyle for a fun shower that her family threw for her.  It was a wine shower, and they got lots of wine, wine accessories, and goodies.  It was a very quick trip for us, but we took advantage of the time and got the boys fitted for their tuxes- theyre going to be ring bearers in the wedding!  Hopefully they will behave.. :) I'll be 9 full months pregnant at the wedding, so it should be an adventure!  The boys are excited about being in the wedding and its going to be gorgeous.  May 26th to May 30th is going to be a busy time for the Sherman family- Lib is getting married and baby Micah will be arriving!  Here are the boys in their adorable tux jackets and some more pics of the family

St Patricks Day and Arkansas

After our trip to Florida, the boys and I came home to unpack, get packed again, and got in the car to head to Nana and Pop's house.  Nathan and I were traveling to Arkansas for a potential job, and the boys were staying with Nana and Pop for a few days.  They had a wonderful time and got lots of loving!  They got to see their new cousin, Emma, and Nana had lots of fun adventures planned for them!  No, we arent moving to Arkansas, though we had a nice visit and enjoyed a lovely church.  It was a nice weekend with just Nathan to reflect on how wonderful our last 2 years in Austin have been!  Here is some evidence of all the fun the boys had-

 

Aunt Libby!

I'm glad I accidentally packed green shirts for the boys!

 

Kisses for Emma!

Nana and Pop took the boys to ride on a REAL train!

Florida Fun

My college roommate, Sarah, got married a few months ago, so the boys and I packed up and headed to Florida.  My bestie, Kelli, came with too, which was a tremendous help with the boys!  Though I politely declined to be in the wedding since I am massively with child, it was a gorgeous wedding and a great time with family.  Owen and Caleb got spoiled rotten by grandma and grandpa, I got some time to myself, and we did lots of fun things with the fam. The boys got to visit the beach, lots of parks, and the zoo.  Here are a few pics from the fun long weekend!

 

Feeding the giraffes, always a favorite!

 

Grandpa and his look alike.

 

My all time favorite pic!

 

Love from Aunt Sissy!

Cute Boys

Im realizing more and more that if Im going to remember all of the silly things my boys say, I need to write them down more!  And since I am treating this blog as a sort of journal/memory book, I figure it's the best place to do it.  So, here is a glimpse into a conversation from last night.

Owen- Im hungry.
Me- Dinner is in the oven!
Owen- What is it?
Me- Meatloaf!
Owen- I dont like meatloaf.
Me- How do you know? You havent tried it.
Owen- Its kinda like cantaloupe.
Me- Ooook. Yeah you definitely havent tried it.

It took us a while to get him to take his first bite, but he enjoyed it and ate all of his dinner! He is so picky.  Caleb, on the other hand, is anything but picky.  He had 2 servings of meatloaf and we finished the entire thing!  Usually we have leftovers!  After dinner, I asked Nathan if we are just going to have to make 2 meatloaves when all the boys get older, and he responded- "probably 3." What have I gotten myself into?!
