Raised by Wolfs centennial celebration

This is my 100th blog post. Can you even believe that??? Not too shabby for 4.5 months of blogging! To commemorate this occasion, I will share with you the top 100 reasons I love being a mom...

HA! As if! Don't get me wrong, I could list 10,000, but seriously who has that kind of time?? Instead I'll settle for a weekend recap. It seems only fitting that post #100 would look just like the other 99: babies, babies and more babies.

Thank you, Lord, for the gorgeous weather we had in H-town this past weekend. And by gorgeous I mean highs around 85, but still... it was such a relief that I was tempted to pull out all my fall and winter clothes (except, who am I kidding, they never got put up to begin with!)

When we got home Friday afternoon, we fed the boys dinner and then took advantage of the amazing weather and went for a wagon ride AND spent some time in the swings. Does life get any better when you're almost 9 months old??

Reid has been doing more and more of this lately:


I know it's a habit that will probably drive us crazy trying to break, but for now I think it is pure sweetness.

I think it's safe to say these boys adore their daddy:


Sweet (extra-thick, hard-to-find-shoes-for) feet: 


On Saturday morning we were out of the house by 7:30 a.m. so we could be first in line for the flu shot clinic at the boys' pediatrician's office. We weren't quite first, but we were still in and out of there in under 30 minutes, which is definitely a record. And these brave brothers did not even cry when they got their shots.

Pops, who is in town from Angola for a week, came over for a visit once we got home, but I forgot to take pictures.

The rest of the weekend was busy, but fun. Our little social butterflies went to Aunt Sassy and Uncle B's for a cookout and also hit up a first birthday party for their twin besties, Ethan and Wyatt. The party theme was based around The Very Hungry Caterpillar book, and it was adorable! Here are a few pics of the decor:


And of course, the cutest decorations of all--the precious birthday boys:

Ethan... who flat-out demolished that smash cake in 5 minutes flat.
Wyatt... who was much more reserved and unsure of getting messy.

Ryan and I leave for my dear friend Susan's wedding in Colorado on Friday morning, and we have to squeeze in the brothers' 9-month photo shoot on Thursday. I should be packing, or at least doing laundry, but clearly my priorities are elsewhere...

*tap tap* Is this thing on?

Ryan and I always said that once we had kids, we wanted to start a blog so our family and friends could keep up with everything that’s going on in our lives. But WOW, I didn’t really grasp that I’d have absolutely no time to write on it!

I’d like for this to eventually become a sort of online journal for us to remember milestones in the boys’ lives, but that will all depend on how quickly I take (or don’t take) to this blogging business. So, at least for now, I’m making no promises about how often I’ll post.

Check back every now and then for updates. And let us hear from you!
