TAKING IT ALL IN!!!


AIDEN IS MY MORE CONSERVATIVE LITTLE BOY AND SEEMS TO STAND BACK AND LET AUSTIN DO EVERYTHING FIRST BEFORE HE TRIES IT. HE WOULD WANT AUSTIN TO GET IN THE OCEAN FIRST, THE POOL FIRST, OR WHATEVER ELSE THEY WERE DOING. HE IS LIKE THAT DAY TO DAY AND I HAVE TO PUT AUSTINS CLOTHES ON FIRST, SHOES ON FIRST, AND HE HAS TO GET IN THE CAR FIRST. IT IS JUST FUNNY AT HOW DIFFERENT THEY ARE!!

THIS BOY CRACKED ME UP THE WHOLE TIME!!!


HE WAS HILARIOUS WITH WESTON'S OLD GOGGLES ON THAT WERE FILLED WITH SAND AND I KNOW HE COULD NOT SEE A LICK,BUT HE HAD TO HAVE THEM ON. WE FINALLY HAD TO BY HIM A NEW PAIR SO HE COULD ACTUALLY SEE OUT OF THEM. HE IS ALSO A LITTLE DARE DEVIL AND WOULD PUT HIS GOGGLES ON AND GRAB HIS BOOGIE BOARD AND HEAD TO THE WATER BY HIMSELF. I GUESS HE THOUGHT HE DID NOT NEED US. HE WAS DEFINITELY WIDE OPEN AND ENTERTAINED US ALL!

FIRST DAY AT THE BEACH!!!


THE BOYS HIT THE BEACH WIDE OPEN SUNDAY MORNING AND HAD A BALL IN THE OCEAN AND SAND. THEY WERE SCARED OF THE OCEAN AT FIRST,BUT IT DID NOT TAKE THEM LONG TO WARM UP TO IT. AUSTIN WAS DIVING HEAD FIRST INTO IT MAKING MOMMY A NERVOUS WRECK BY THE END OF THE DAY.

IF ONLY IT WAS LIKE THIS THE WHOLE 5 HOUR TRIP.......


JUST KIDDING, THEY WERE ACTUALLY ALL PRETTY GOOD. THE BOYS GOT RESTLESS THE LAST HOUR, BUT OTHER THAN THAT THEY WERE REALLY GOOD. THEY PLAYED THIER COMPUTERS AND SANG SONGS FOR US AND TALKED OUR EARS OFF ABOUT ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. JAX WAS JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE AND DID SO GOOD!!

WE ARE HOME WITH LOTS OF NEW CHANGES!!!

WE MADE IT HOME TODAY FROM OUR WEEK LONG TRIP AT THE BEACH WITH MI MI, PAW PAW, AUNT ASHLEY, UNCLE JEFF, WESTON, BROOKS, AND THE RUTLEDGE GANG!! WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME AND DID NOT WANT TO COME HOME! THE WEEK FLEW BY AND THE BOYS ARE WORN OUT!! THEY PLAYED THEIR LITTLE HEARTS OUT IN THE SWIMMING POOL AND ON THE BEACH! THEY GOT TO RIDE GO-KARTS FOR THE FIRST TIME TOO AND LOVED IT! GI GI AND PAW PAW BROUGHT THE MOTOR HOME DOWN THURSDAY, SO THEY GOT TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH THEM TOO! I HAVE TONS OF PICTURES AND WILL GET THOSE UPLOADED SOON, BUT I AM SURE IT WILL TAKE ME FOREVER TO GET THEM ALL POSTED! THANK YOU, MI MI AND PAW PAW FOR A WONDERFUL TRIP! WE LOVE YOU AND ARE ALREADY LOOKING FORWARD TO NEXT YEAR!!

ON ANTHER NOTE, ALL OF MY BABIES ARE GROWING UP!!! JAX IS SLEEPING IN HIS BIG BOY BED FOR THE FIRST TIME TONIGHT! HE HAS TAKEN NAPS IN THERE, BUT NEVER SLEPT IN THERE ALL NIGHT! WELL, HOPEFULLY IT WILL BE MOST OF THE NIGHT. HE HAS STILL BEEN GETTING UP TO EAT AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE HE GETS UP IN THE MORNINGS FOR THE DAY! ALSO, MY BIG BABIES SAID GOODBYE TO THEIR SIPPY CUPS TONIGHT. I HAVE BEEN PUTTING THIS OFF FOR SOME TIME BECAUSE I JUST KNEW IT WOULD BE A BATTLE. THE BOYS ARE POTTY TRAINED DURING THE DAY,BUT STILL WEAR THEIR PULL UPS TO NAP IN AND AT NIGHT. WE DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO GET RID OF ALL THE PULL UPS, BUT KNEW WE HAD TO GET RID OF THE NIGHT TIME MILK FIRST. THE BOYS HAVE ALWAYS WENT TO BED ON THEIR OWN AND IN THEIR BEDS,BUT WHEN WE GOT RID OF THE BOTTLE WE STARTED A BAD HABIT BY LETTING THEM TAKE THEIR SIPPY CUPS TO BED WITH THEM. I DID NOT REALIZE IT AT THE TIME,BUT WHEN I STARTED THINKING ABOUT GETTING RID OF THE PULL UPS I JUST KNEW IT WOULD BE HARD TO STOP THE NIGHT TIME MILK. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN AUSTINS COMFORT THING AND AIDEN JUST GOT USED TO IT. ANYWAYS, THEY PROVED ME WRONG TONIGHT. I TOLD THEM BEFORE WE LEFT FOR THE BEACH THAT WHEN WE GOT HOME WE WERE GOING TO GIVE THE SIPPY CUPS AND THE PULL UPS TO SOME BABIES THAT NEEDED THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE ABOUT TO BE 3 AND THAT THEY ARE BIG BOYS NOW. SO, I GOT A PLASTIC BAG OUT AND WE SAID GOODBYE TO THEM. THEY PUT THEM IN THE BAG,SO THAT I CAN TAKE THEM TO SOME BABIES THAT NEED THEM! IT WAS REALLY CUTE AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME, THEY TOLD THEM THEY WHERE BIG BOYS NOW AND DID NOT NEED THEM. WHEN I PUT THE PLASTIC BAG OUTSIDE AND TURNED AROUND TO SEE AIDENS FACE I ABOUT LOST IT. HE WAS JUST STANDING THERE WITH THESE CROCODILE TEARS IN HIS EYES AND WAS ABOUT BREAK DOWN. I PICKED HIM AND WE STARTED TALKING ABOUT BEING A BIG BOY AND THEN HE WAS FINE. AUSTIN DID NOT ASK FOR HIS UNTIL HE GOT IN THE BED,BUT I REMINDED HIM THAT WE GAVE THEM TO THE BABIES AND THAT WAS IT!!! NOW, IF IT ONLY STAYS THIS SIMPLE I THINK WE CAN TAKE THE NEXT STEP AND GET RID OF ALL THE PULL UPS!!!! I CANNOT BELIEVE MY BABY BOYS ARE GROWING UP SO FAST!!!!!


LOTS OF PICTURES COMING SOON!

CAMO BOY!!!


WHILE I WAS PACKING JAX I FOUND THIS CAMO ONSIE AND HAT THAT PAW PAW BOUGHT HIM AT THE BASS PRO SHOP AND HAD ALITTLE FUN BEFORE HE OUT GREW IT!! I AM SURE HE WILL BE HUNTING WITH PAW PAW SOON ENOUGH IN ALL HIS LITTLE CAMO GEAR!!!

RETIREMENT PARTY FOR GI GI!


MY GI GI FINALLY DECIDED TO RETIRE. SHE HAS ALWAYS WORKED AND I ALWAYS ASKED HER WHEN SHE WAS GOING TO QUIT AND SHE SAID SHE COULD NOT BECAUSE THEN SHE COULD NOT SHOP!! IF YOU KNOW MY GI GI THEN YOU KNOW SHE IS OUT EVERY SATURDAY SHOPPING AND I MEAN EVERY SINGLE SATURDAY THAT I CAN REMEMBER!!! IF YOU COULD SEE HER HOUSE YOU WOULD AGREE SHE DOES NOT NEED TO SHOP FOR ANYTHING,BUT SHE JUST LOVES IT! I THINK ITS HILARIOUS BECAUSE EVERY TIME I GO OVER TO HER HOUSE SHE HAS TO SHOW ME ONE OF HER NEW PURCHASES AND I ASK HER WHERE IN THE WORLD SHE IS GOING TO PUT THAT AND SHE JUST LAUGHS!! I HAVE A FEELING SHE WILL BE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER JOB OR SOMETHING TO DO BECAUSE SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO STAY AT HOME!! I LOVE MY GI GI SO MUCH AND RJ TELLS ME AND MOM ALL THE TIME THAT WE ACT JUST LIKE HER:)!! I HOPE I DO ACT LIKE HER AND HAVE THE ATTITUDE SHE DOES WHEN I GET THAT AGE! WE LOVE YOU GI GI!!!

A BAD DAY CANNOT BE THAT BAD......


WHEN YOU WAKE UP TO THIS. THE BOYS WILL WAKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND WONDER TO OUR BED SOMETIMES AND LAST NIGHT THEY DID JUST THAT. DADDY TOOK THESE PICTURES AND I JUST FOUND THEM ON MY CAMERA AND THEY MADE ME SMILE AFTER MY BAD DAY! FIRST OFF, I HAVE HAD A TOOTH ACHE AND SINUS COLD ON TOP OF THAT ALL WEEKEND. DADDY FLEW OUT TO LAS VEGAS FOR WORK THIS MORNING AND WILL NOT BE HOME UNTIL THURSDAY NIGHT! ALL OF YOU MOMMIES OUT THERE CAN IMAGINE HOW CRAZY I WILL BE ON THURSDAY NIGHT WHEN HE GETS HOME! I DROPPED THE BOYS OFF AT SCHOOL THIS MORNING AND WAS GOING TO GET MY RUNNING AROUND DONE TODAY WHILE THE BOYS WERE IN SCHOOL. SO JAX AND I WENT TO TARGET TO GET SOME THINGS FOR OUR BEACH TRIP ON SATURDAY AND THEN WE WERE HEADED TO THE SUMMIT TO FINISH UP OUR SHOPPING. WHEN I GOT TO THE CHECK OUT COUNTER I REALIZED I DID NOT HAVE MY WALLET!! SO, I HAD TO LEAVE IT ALL AND GOT NOTHING DONE! I THEN HEADED BACK TO THE HOUSE TO AT LEAST MAKE MY BED AND PUT A LOAD OF LAUNDRY IN BEFORE I HAD TO PICK THE BOYS UP AT 11:30. WHEN I GOT HOME MY MOM WAS OUTSIDE MY BACK DOOR ON THE GROUND WITH MY DOG, TOBEY THAT WAS FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE. I GOT TOBEY WHEN I WAS 13 AND HE WAS OLD AND READY TO GO, BUT IT WAS SO HARD SEEING HIM JUST LAYING THERE. MOM AND DAD WANTED TO GET HIM BACK OVER TO THEIR HOUSE, SO THE BOYS DID NOT SEE HIM LIKE THAT. AFTER WATCHING HIM ALL DAY THEY CALLED THE VET THAT GOES TO OUR CHURCH TO COME OUT HERE AND HE AGREED IT WAS TIME. AFTER ALL OF THE CRYING MY TOOTH AND HEAD WAS REALLY POUNDING AND STILL IS, BUT I GOT TO SPEND SOME MUCH NEEDED TIME WITH MY BOYS. MI MI KEPT JAXSON WHILE I TOOK THE BOYS TO MCDONALD'S AND THEN TO WAL-MART TO PICK OUT A PRIZE:)! THEY REALLY HAD FUN AND I DEFINITELY NEEDED THEM TODAY! I DID HAVE A BAD DAY, BUT REALIZE IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. LOOKING AT THIS PICTURE MAKES ME REALIZE I AM BLESSED AND WILL HAVE BAD DAYS EVERY NOW AND THEN, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IT IS REALLY NOT THAT BAD! TOBEY IS IN A BETTER PLACE AND LIVED A VERY HAPPY AND FUN FILLED LIFE!
