It's a jungle out there!!!

How stinking adorable is that lion!!!!

We went home to visit last weekend and it was great! Our friends E and M came with us and so did their sweet little girls! When I think I have my hands full I just think about M and E they have a 19 month old and a 5 month old, whew!!!! Anyways on Saturday Piccilo Spoleto kicked off in Marion Square, downtown Charleston, with a children's festival. The kids played on the fun bus, bounced their hearts out in the jump castles, slid on the inflatable slides, made drums and noise makers and T got his face painted! He was then to be referred to as the lion. As we were eating lunch, at Groucho's....my fave, I tried to talk to T and he told me "Shhh, the Lion is eating"! It was classic and hysterical!!!!

We had a blast at home! This weekend is fairly low key around here, T has swim lessons Saturday afternoon, C and I are going to a "work" party Saturday evening (thanks to Allison for undertaking the job of watching our boys, plus her sweet little, but not so little, London) and Sunday C has a soccer game. I can not wait until swim and soccer are over so we can have our weekends again! I want to go the Animal Safari, zoo and a Braves game, but our weekends are always taken up with events for Daddy C and T!

I am off to clean this messy messy house of mine before the hubs gets home from work.

Just like his Momma......

Oh this boy of mine sure does take after his Momma. He loves to lay on the floor and watch FOX news. He rolled completely off of his mat to get a closer look at Gretchen and Steve on Fox and Friends this morning. The rolling took place at 8:00a.m. and it is 8:40 and he is still in the same position talking and eating his hands! A boy after my own heart!

Hi/Lo Thursday

This post is part of "Hi/Lo Thursday" on the Riggs Family Blog. Check out their blog to read everyone else's "Hi/Lo" posts and get your link on their site.

Our Highs:
We are going home to visit this weekend!!!!! I am so excited!!!

Not only are we going home to visit, we are taking some of our very good friends and their two girls also!

I get to have seafood and put my feet in the sand! I get to have my momma and daddy take care of me and the kids for the long weekend! Ahhhh, can you tell I am excited?!?!

Our Lows:
Chase has been extremely fussy this week, I mean extremely! He has really tested my patience, but I have succeeded, no doubt I wouldn't but there were moment that I wanted to say....quit screeming at me, but he is only 4 months old and has no idea!

I have been getting really dizzy lately so I will be going to the Dr next week to see what is perhaps going on!

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

He says he is a rocking out pirate! But little does he know he is not giving us the rocking out sign, but he is signing I love you or perhaps he is a Texas Longhorns fan? Not sure really, but he says that is what rocking pirates do and he has to close his eyes when he does this so no one can see him, he does not want people to watch him rocking out! Oh to be 3 again!

For SaleSweet Baby Boy

Ok, well not really for sale that would be ridiculous and really illegal! But this is how the majority of the day in our household has looked. Baby C is something else today, he has not um, had a bowel movement (hey just giving you the facts) in 3 days, the DR said to call at 5 days and they will see what they can do, so he is resorting to this. We are now going on 12 hours of crying, eating, crying sleeping only in mommy's arms, crying, eating, repeating all steps over and over again!!! His bib says Chicks Dig Me and I guess he did not get the memo....Chicks do not like crying for 12 hours straight or at least this Mommy Chick does not.

Hopefully and prayerfully he will feel better tomorrow, hopefully he will get that much needed dirty diaper and I will have my happy rolly polley back tomorrow. I am sad just looking at him so I can not even imagine how he feels!

Hi! My name is...

Cortney! That's me right there, well not really right there but above this writing, that's me! I am the face behind this completely amazing blog that you are reading. I thought I would give you a little look into my life and who I am. You have seen pictures of my boys and plenty of them, you will just have to endure 2 more in this post, but hey at least they are cute! First of all I am a 26 year old.........
Wife to this amazing and totally smoking hot man right here, well you know above this writing! His name for all blog purposes is Daddy C, obviously he is not my Daddy, but you get what I am saying. He is a completely selfless man and a devoted husband and father. He is an Army Ranger and has seen his share of combat deployments, 4 to be exact! Right now he is taking a "break" from the front lines and is a RIP Instructor(don’t know what RIP is,? Click here! ). We have been together for 9 years and this year we just celebrated 5 years of marital bliss. Out of those 5 years I have become the mother to......

This sweet little gangster in his underoos! T is what we shall call him in blog world. He is 3 1/2 years old, full of life and fun and the best snuggler in the world, that is if you can get him to snuggle. He is funny as all get out and literally floors me with some of the stuff he comes up with. He is an amazing big brother to my second born son......
Baby C! He is 4 months old an already a rock star, just check out his skull shoes! He brightens my day with every smile and his little cheeks I could pinch all day (oh yes and night now that he thinks night is play time!). He has his Daddy's looks and my temper, he goes from 0-60 in 1 second flat, just like his Momma, oh I should not be proud of that? Well I am!

Not only am I the lucky wife of the stud you see 3 pictures up and the 2 handsome devils just posted above but I am the proud daughter of.....

The 2 most amazing parents a girl could ask for. I am both a Daddy's girl and Momma's girl all rolled in to one and I love every second of it!!!! They provided me with a wonderful education and loving home, they are responsible for the woman I have become today, the good and the bad! So if you do not like me....blame it on them! These two people are responsible for whom you will meet next.....
My 3 brothers (note, this picture is 5 years old and they are now much older and even cuter)! Respectively in this picture is M, J and A. This is the reason I am so tough, I put up with such torture as a little girl, they claim they were preparing me for my future. Well after all they put me through I could probably be water boarded and not even break (totally kidding, insert sarcasm here, I do not need any angry blog readers). So far, my oldest brother J has given me the great fortune of being an aunt to......
CB and Miss R. CB is a sweet little 4 year old who loves to sing Dave Matthews while rocking out on his guitar and he is the proud big brother to Miss R. Miss R is an aspiring fashion Diva like her mother!

Now I also have some amazing friends.......

Check out the hotness that we dubbed Ranger Cruise 2007! These are some of the most amazing friends a girl could ask for. The men in this photograph (minus the sweet one with the glasses) are my husbands own "Band of Brothers" he survived many a deployment with these men by his side and I thank them for that!!! Now the other hot chick in the picture well......

That's E! One of the best friends a girl could ask for! If I think back at my best memories over the pat 3 years, she is in 90% if them! I am sad she lives so far away now and I can't walk 3 doors down in my PJs and watch our wedding videos and drink martinis out of the box, but hey one day we will again. This time just with a bunch of kids in tow!!!!

So, I hope you now have a little look into my life. I am truly blessed to have such amazing people in my life. All of these people have shaped me into who I am today and I am so proud to call them my family and friends.

****Of course there are other people whom have been influential in my life, but I only had pictures of so many, so no hurt feelings ya'll!!
