What a great weekend!!

We had such a great weekend with our dear friends The Gunnells! They were able to come and spend the day with us on Saturday to watch the mighty Crimson Tide! We also kept their two precious girls Yates and Lucy for the evening... We had a blast! Rainer and Yates just loved one another...here are a few pictures we were able to capture throughout the day!

 We found them in the dinning room together enjoying their cookies...

They were such a big help...baking MORE cookies!!!

  Looking forward to getting together again soon!!

Ants!!

We got into a huge bed of ants this past week but quickly got over it when we realized we were going to get to play with the water hose... This saved us a few tears! He had a blast!

Happy 2nd Birthday Rainer!!!

We have just celebrated our 2nd Birthday!! Rainer turned "2" on Sept. the 3rd...He had a wonderful birthday and birthday supper! Man what a difference a year makes! We didn't do a very good job with the picture taking part but we did get a few....

His Gigi got him his "froggy" cupcakes!

He loved every gift he got!!

His Nanny and Pop got him a set of real golf clubs!! He thinks he is something else...

Thanks Uncle Michael....we love our tractors!

Enjoying our cupcake the morning after due to the fact that we refused to eat ours the night before because his mother took the wrapper off of it! Did I mention he is TWO!! We pitched a big one but must have forgotten that episode by the  next morning...(Check out our new pjs from cousin Austin and Lane! We had to put them on right away!)

Enjoying all our birthday gifts...bright and early!!

Doing a little yard work with Dad!!!

Eating a few popsicles with cousin Lane ...

A few recent pics...

We always enjoy spending time with our cousin Sadie! These two are very entertaining...needless to say!

Rainer doesn't miss a thing...he thought his leg needed to be propped up as well. He apparently didn't think he needed his picture taken though-ha!

We love to look at Uncle "a" tractor books....

This is our new thing!! We are still very excited about it ...and really into going to the potty! We will see how long this last!

Look at what big help we have....how could we have ever unpacked without him?? Check out our new smile-ha!

How cool is this plane...it's a petal plane!

We have FINALLY updated!!

So it has been a long time since we have blogged...ok we know 3 months but we have had a LOT happen in the past 3 months. So we will do our best to catch you guys up! We have had an amazing summer with vacations and short little trips here and there. We have also finally moved into our new home....maybe one day we will get it together. We are loving being here so far!

First I will start with our annual Beach Trip with the fam and The Youngs!! We stayed at the Caribe this year due to the oil and I will say the kids had a blast! Thanks Jo Jo and Pop Pop for our stay and wonderful trip!

 

Check out the facial expressions...Rainer's vs. Jane's!

All the Russell boys and Jane...

 Jo Jo and Pop Pop

 

 

I love the looks Jane can give Rainer! If we only knew what she was really thinking...haha!!

(Really man...that's enough!)

This was the best $2 Jo Jo spent all week!

JoJo and Pop bought them some shirts so of course we had to take some pics!
