These boys are keeping us so busy, that blogging has gone by the waysides!! They continue to crack us up with the things they say.

We are still potty training. Beginning to think this might be my lifetime hobby. Taylor will pee all day , anytime, anyplace and loves his big boy underwear, but refuses to poop on the potty. Turner can pee and poop on the potty but is too busy being studious to stop and do it.

Taylor still loves to be outside. He loves to ride his "big boy pink bike" without training wheels. We are loving night time rides with him. He loves the ladies and we witnessed his first crush on a little girl at the pool. He will try to eat most things, although continues to be our junkfood-aholic!!!

Turner is still studying for his GED. He knows all of his letters and knows the first letter of the word for many animals. He asks every day " what does that start with". This kid likes to learn as he is always telling us " I LOVE LETTERS".  He loves chicken nuggets, fruit, turkey pepperoni and gummies.

 T and T playing with maps while on the trampoline.

 Taylor walking our friend's dog, Bella. Bella stayed with us and Taylor was in love. Turner chimed " Mommy, I miss Guinnnie and Jack". Taylor replied, " I don't. We got Bella. "

 Bella was taken out every other hour at the bare minimum. Taylor walked her, called her name, played with her, hugged her and prided himself in making the proper introductions to all of our neighbors like she was here to stay!!

 Taylor putting Bella in the cage as we headed out.

Taylor requesting a hug from Bella. We have promised a dog once we are completely daytime potty trained with no accidents!!!

Dragonboat Races

Aunt Beth was in the race so we had to get out and support her. Slade boys were having a rough day. I really can't blame them. Poor guys! It was like 100 degrees this day and we were feeling land locked.  Less than one hour there....but sure had some fun once we got through with the fussing!!

 T and T running WILD. They spent about 30 minutes playing with the flamingos!

Another 30 was spent eating. Ice cream, lemonade, then requests for "TACO BELL".  The heat melted the treats quicker than they could eat them.  Love the "frustrated Turner" look.

Happy Mother's Day to me!!

Mother's Day at Sunset was the perfect present. (Besides my fabulous garden filled with tomatoes, blueberries, peppers, and squash that Ben made for me!!!)

 Taylor enjoying a "bucket hat" while watching a movie.

 T and T spending some one-on-one with Gan.

 Playtime in Boo & Gan's bathtub!

 Taylor loving being outside with Gan. Two peas in a pod. Literally.

 Like grandaddy, like grandson. Look at these two glued to the tv!!!

Turner: Mr. Cool Cat himself !!

St. Augustine's Alligator Farm

You know the Slade boys, no trip to Florida would be complete without a trip to see some animals! The St. Augustine Alligator Farm was beyond amazing!!

 Daddy and Taylor enjoy the " show".

 Lauren and Will getting a ride around the park.

 Daddy providing lunch for the entrance gator!

 The crocs waiting to be fed. " Cocoa Puffs" as the boys called the food.

 T and T loving the vultures!
