I have to say, that I’m already finding so much freedom in the 31 Days project, and we’re only on day 2!
This morning, while Hudson was at school, Hayes and I went to Bible study at our church. It’s a great point in the week for me to be able to see so many of my friends in one place, and talk about our struggles and triumphs as moms. And learn about God’s plan for us as mothers. It’s such a blessing to me.
Hayes was supposed to have speech therapy this morning, but our therapist had to cancel at the last minute, so we were happy to get to go to Bible study.
The boys both took great naps today, and when they got up, I made Paula Deen’s banana pudding for RC’s birthday. RC and PC are what we call Todd’s parents instead of grandpa and grandma.
I let both boys each lick a beater after I finished making the pudding. I am cracking up looking at these pictures because Hayes’s “cheese” face is so extreme!
He has started saying “eeeeese” when he sees the camera. I love that he’s trying to say “cheese.” But he smiles so big that his little face just scrunches up.
It’s just so funny. He kind of looks like he might cry, but he’s really just smiling as big as he can.
RC, PC, and Nana came over tonight to celebrate RC’s birthday. We had pizza, birthday cake, and banana pudding. It was simple and so much fun. Any time we’re all just sitting around laughing at these little boys is a fun time.
Paula Deen’s banana pudding used to be my go-to dessert, but I hadn’t made it in a while. I remember why I love it so much. If you’ve never made it, you absolutely need to!
RC, PC, and Nana stayed while we bathed the boys and then they put them to bed. RC said that was all he wanted to do on his birthday. We are so incredibly blessed to have such loving family who really enjoy being with our boys.
The feeling is mutual. It was a great day.
*This post is Day 2 in my 31 Days of Back to Basics Blogging.
Love those boys and Hayes’s BIG eeeeese!! Happy Birthday to RC!
Love that cheese face and thanks, now I want banana pudding….at 8pm!
Landon has been making a very similar “cheese” face for months. I love it, so cute!
That face cracks me UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, hilarious, especially next to Hudson who is too busy for the big cheese face haha.
Looks like a great time! What sweet little boys you have. = )
What a wonderful day it turned out to be! I cannot stop smiling from these photos of Hayes. That’s got to be the best “cheese” face I’ve ever seen! My heart could just burst.
Such a lovely little recap of your day. Your 31 Days Challenge theme is my favorite so far!

I literally laughed out loud looking at these pictures of that cheesy little face!! So funny!!
this made me tear up! Your boys are precious, as was your father in laws bday wish!
These pictures are precious! I would love to know where Hayes’ outfit came from (the turtle one). I am having a very hard time finding fall play clothes that I like for my son. He’s just a couple of weeks younger than Hayes. 🙂
Oh my goodness! His “cheese” face is the best ever.
You are blessed with two beautiful boys, friend.
Such adorable boys and I love the simple things that we are so blessed to share with children…enjoying a beater of pudding-what fun! PS The cheese smile makes me smile too!
The cheese face is the cutest thing ever!! Love those boys and I love simple birthdays. Pizza and banana pudding sound delicious!
And… You’re saying my kids will eventually nap at the same time, right?
Oh my goodness I love the cheese face! Tillie has been making a similar face lately. I love it!
Oh, those sweet boys!! That cheese face is TOO much and I just love those awesome pictures you took, Mama! I love cooking in the kitchen with Mac and C.. It’s something that I didn’t do much of with my Mama when I was tiny and I love having them at my feet now! Love this post!
Oh my goodness, Hayes’ cheese face is too much! What a doll!
So cute! Hudson is looking so grown up these days and Hayes is just as adorable as ever! That “cheese” face is just adorable. So is the last picture of him waving on RC’s lap.
I have to say, those “cheese” pictures absolutely made my day!
These pictures are just precious! I love banana pudding, but haven’t tried her recipe. I’m going to have to try it!
ERIN! I cannot stop staring at that adorable face and laughing! Please take a picture of yourself making HAyes cheese face and post side by side with his! HAHAHAH- I love it!
I have got to buy a trifle dish. They make desserts look so pretty! RC’s birthday request to put the boys to bed is so sweet.
Oh my goodness…my little boy does the same thing when he is also saying “eeese”. I look at the pics and it looks like he’s extremely upset! Love the pictures! Your boys are too cute!
That Haye’s made me LOL! Too cute!
Omg Hayes smile !!! Sooo sweet !
I am DYING over Hayes’ faces. so cute!
Oh my goodness—I am LOVING these posts so far! So much fun peeking into your lives, thanks for sharing 🙂
I’m loving your back to basics philosophy! I’m really trying to write posts for me and not for anyone who might be reading. I’m doing 31 days too. 31 days of Jillian Michaels’ Shred!
Oh my, little Hayes’ face is cracking me up!! Also – when did that boy get so much hair? He’s looking so big!
A-dorable!! and so sweet! It looked and sounded like a wonderful day! I love the “cheese” face, hehe, so cute!!
That cheesed face is so adorable!!
Wondering if banana pudding is a regional thing? I’ve never heard anyone around me make it something that you would serve to a group!
oh sister. you are living in a sad sad region.
Adorable! Growing up I used to love when my mom baked, because we got to lick the beaters/spatulas/spoons, etc. Lucky for us mom loved baking!!
oh my goodness! he is too cute!
and you are right, that banana pudding is TO. DIE. FOR. I craved it when I was pregnant!
now I want some. LOL
Okay, Hayes’s face with that beater is PURE JOY. I think that’s how I look when I eat baked goods too. I love it!! Your boys are too precious.
all he wanted for his birthday! melty melt melt. what a papa.
