Growing Boys

Today we took Cordell and Ayden to the doctor for their yearly checkups. Cordell was 50 1/4 inches tall and weighed 55 pounds. Ayden was 41 1/2 inches tall and weighed 39 pounds. They are just growing like weeds!

Sometimes You Just Have To Laugh To Save Your Sanity

Tonight was one of those crazy nights around our house. Blake had football practice until about 7:15, Lyndell was working late, and I was running crazy! As soon as we got home, the boys wanted to play outside. It was already late, but I figured it would give me a few seconds to get some things done. The last words out of my mouth were, "just don't get too dirty, please!" I should have known better.

A short while later, I was carrying a basket of laundry into the laundry room , while talking on the phone to Lyndell. Ayden and Cordell, covered in mud, darted in and stuck their prize catch of a frog in my face. I dropped the laundry basket to the floor. Unfortunately it landed on the cat. Shadow, the cat, sped out leaving claw marks all across my foot. I can't exactly blame this on him though! We got a bowl and created a frog habitat. I always have a collection of various critters in my house. Right now, we have the frogs and a lizard.

I put the boys in the bath and called my mom to tell her about our crazy episode. She laughed so hard! I decided sometimes you just have to laugh to save your sanity!

Baby Bed and Big Brothers

These pictures go with my last post. There are a couple of quick baby bed shots. There are also atwo big brothers that actually wanted in on the photo action, so they are in there too!

Time Is Ticking By

I am 31 weeks along today - only 9 weeks to go! Lyndell put the baby bed together last night. We put the new bedding on. We are almost ready! It won't be long until we will have another pair of feet in our home.

Football Fever!!

Blake's biggest love is football. Tonight the freshman team played Bangs. What an exciting game! Number 45 is Blake.







And the Indians come up with the win over Bangs 40 - 8.



Let's celebrate!!

The Meanest Mom Ever!

Kids say some of the funniest things! The other night at Blake's football game, Cordell informed me that I am the meanest mom ever. He was wanting to go play, and I had told him that we were there to watch the game. He needed to sit and watch. Frustrated with me, he said that I was the meanest mom ever. Then he told me "Even in my dreams at night, you tell me no!!" Poor baby can't even get a good night's sleep without his mom disrupting his fun!

Teeth Update

Ayden's teeth are still hanging in there and looking good. He is eating with them again. I think we are going to get to keep them. Yea!!

Back To School!!

Yesterday was a day of firsts for our family - first day of high school, first day of second grade, first emergency trip to a dentist. Wow what a day! Blake started high school. I can not believe how fast he has grown up. Cordell started second grade. He is growing up on me too. Ayden couldn't just go through the day without a first too. He had an accident at the babysitter's that sent him on an emergency trip to the dentist. Poor baby hit his 4 bottom front teeth and pushed them forward. Lyndell got the call at about 10:30. Since it was my first day of this school year, he did not even call me until after school when everything was all over. That was probably a good thing. I just don't know if I could have handled it. They deadened it and pushed his teeth back in place. His teeth have bigger gaps between them now. We are just crossing our fingers and praying that over the next few days the teeth won't die. He could possibly lose all 4 bottom front teeth. Thankfully, they are baby teeth, but it will be a few years before permenant teeth come in. Hopefully they will be okay.

First day of high school - too cool to smile!

First day of second grade!

First emergency trip to the dentist. You can see the gaps between his teeth. He is enjoying the diet of chocolate milkshakes though. You can see part of the last one displayed on his little face. I was nervous to even wash his face.

The picture below is for comparison. This was from last week. Notice the gaps are not nearly as big. His face is still dirty though. That seems to be Ayden's trademark. I wash that little face constantly, but before you can turn around, it is dirty again. Dirt is his best friend!!

Today he is feeling better. His mouth is rather bruised. We are just going to wait and see.

It's Party Time!

Ayden is really into tractors, so of course when we decided to do a little family party it had to be tractors! His new favorite song is even Big Green Tractor by Jason Aldean. He can sing most of the words! We had hamburgers and cake, opened some great presents, had some water fun (sprinkler and water balloons), and jumped on the trampoline until dark (or maybe a little past dark). It was a great birthday!!

Who is the scariest creature - Ayden or Screecher?

Happy Birthday to Ayden!!!

Today Ayden is turning four. Time flies by so fast. We celebrated with a root beer float - Yummm! We will have a party this weekend. Happy Birthday Aydenbug!

Buggy Boys

The boys love, love, love bugs! They are constantly going bug catching and stopping to observe the critters they find. It is so fun to look at life through their eyes and see the treasures that we tend to overlook as adults.

More vacation pics!

Blake... Do you think this is deep enough yet??




Most of us enjoyed the feel of the sand between our toes, but of course Ayden had to go all the way!! We got him completely buried, and my camera was not working well. I sent Blake back to the room to get my other camera real quick. While he was gone, I asked Ayden if he could breathe okay since he had dirt on his chest. My little man has such a sense of humor and is all boy. He laughed and said, "I can breathe just fine, but I can't toot good." Oh what fun to be the mother of a bunch of little boys!!



Mermaid Man?


There are more pictures of Ayden, because he tends to be my most willing subject. He always has a smile even if it is a goofy one! Blake and Cordell get tired of me and won't even look my way.
