BEING SUCH A GOOD BOY!!

WELL, LET'S JUST SAY WE HAD A VERY LONG DAY YESTERDAY! FIRST WE WENT TO SEE OUR PEDITRICIAN TO DISCUSS AUSTIN'S PROBLEM. THEY WEIGHED HIM AND HE HAD ACTUALLY LOST ALMOST A POUND FROM HIS 18 MONTH VISIT. SO OF COURSE, RJ AND I ARE REALLY WORRIED NOW. HE RECOMMENED US TO HIS OLD GI DOCTOR THAT HANDLED ALL OF HIS LIVER ISSUES. WE CALLED RIGHT AWAY AND THANK GOODNESS THEY HAD AN APPOINTMENT AT 1:00. SO WE CARRIED AIDEN TO THE OFFICE TO LEAVE HIM WITH HIS GI GI AND HEADED TO DR. MESTRE'S. I AM SO GLAD WE DIDN'T CARRY AIDEN BECAUSE WE DIDN'T EVEN GET INTO A ROOM UNTIL 2:30. AFTER ALL THE QUESTIONING HE NEVER REALLY SAID WHAT IT WAS FOR SURE THAT WAS CAUSING HIM TO PROJECTILE VOMMIT LIKE HE DOES. HE GAVE US TWO TYPES OF MEDICINE TO GIVE HIM 4 TIMES A DAY THAT HELPS WITH HIS STOMACH AND ACID REFLUX. HE ALSO SENT US TO CHILDREN'S FOR LAB TEST TO CHECK HIS LIVER. WHEN HE SAID THE WORD "LIVER DISEASE" MY HEART SANK. I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT AT ALL, BUT BECAUSE OF HIS HISTORY HE CAN'T RULE THAT OUT. THEY HAVE ALSO SCHEDULED AN ULTRASOUND TO LOOK AT THE LIVER AGAIN AND AN UPPER GI TO SEE IF IT IS REFLUX AND HOW BAD IT IS. THEY ARE BOTH SCHEDULED FOR MARCH 18TH, SO IT WILL BE A COUPLE OF WEEKS BEFORE WE KNOW ANYTHING! MY POOR BABY WAS SUCH A TROOPER THROUGH ALL OF THIS AND SUCH A GOOD BOY THE WHOLE TIME! I KNOW HE WAS SO WORN OUT BECAUSE HE DIDN'T GET A NAP, BUT YOU WOULD HAVE NEVER KNOWN IT!

POOR DALLAS!

IT'S FULL WITH WATER AND FISH!!!

AFTER ALL THE RAIN THAT WE HAVE HAD THE LAKE FILLED UP PRETTY QUICK! WE HAVE ALSO GOT A PIER BUILT AND THE FISH WERE DELIVERED YESTERDAY. THEY ARE REALLY LITTLE RIGHT NOW,BUT GROW FAST AND WILL BE READY TO BE CAUGHT SOON! I KNOW DADDY IS SO EXCITED AND CAN'T WAIT TO TEACH THE BOYS HOW TO FISH. I HAVE A FEELING I BETTER ENJOY ALL THE ATTENTION RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SOON THEY WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BORING MOMMY!!

OUR ADVENTURE TO MAMAW'S!!

WE WENT TO MY MAMAW AND PAPAW'S TODAY IN DECATUR, AL AND IT'S ALWAYS AN ADVENTURE WHEN MOM AND I TAKE ALL THE BOYS UP THERE! THEY ACTUALLY ALL DID PRETTY GOOD ON THE WAY UP, THANKS TO BARNEY. WE HAD TO STOP IN GARDENDALE TO BUY A CAR ADAPTER FOR THE DVD PLAYER AFTER THE BATTERY WENT DEAD, BUT AFTER THAT WE WERE FREE SAILING!! I THINK THE BOYS WERE JUST SO HAPPY BE OUT OF THE CAR AND WERE WILD WHEN WE GOT THERE! WELL, REALLY JUST AIDEN! HE HAS BEEN SO WILD AND MEAN LATELY! I THINK HE HAS HIT THE "TERRIBLE TWO'S" ALITTLE EARLY! HE GOT HIS FIRST BAD REPORT FROM SCHOOL LAST WEEK BECAUSE HE WAS NOT SHARING WITH OTHERS AND ESPECIALLY HIS BROTHER:)!! I SWEAR I THINK I SPANK HIM A HUNDRED TIMES A DAY NOW AND IT DOESN'T EVEN PHASE HIM! I AM GROWING GRAY HAIR BY THE MINUTE TOO THESE DAYS!! SOMETIMES I CAN'T HELP BUT LAUGH AT THE LIL' STINKER, BUT I TRY NOT TO LET HIM SEE ME. HE'S SMART AND KNOWS HOW TO PUSH MY BUTTONS! I JUST HOPE HE GET'S OUT OF THE PHASE SOON BECAUSE I REALLY HATE GETTING ONTO HIM ALL THE TIME!! IT WAS GOOD TO SEE MY MAMAW AND PAPAW AND I KNOW THEY WERE GLAD TO SEE US GO:)!! WE LOVE YOU!

AUSTIN IS ACTUALLY BEING THE NICER ONE THESE DAYS! I GUESS BECAUSE HIS BROTHER IS BEING SO MEAN. HE STILL PUTS UP A FIGHT EVERY NOW AND THEN AND WILL STILL BITE TOO. ALTHOUGH HE HASN'T DONE THAT IN AWHILE,BUT THE LAST TIME HE DID HE DREW BLOOD!! SO, HE REALLY GOT IN TROUBLE FOR THAT! ANYWAYS, HE IS GOING TO THE DOCTOR TOMMORROW TO MEET WITH DR. HARDWICK ABOUT HIS THROWING UP ISSUES! IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW HE THROWS UP ALOT WHEN HE'S EATING. HE HAS ALWAYS DONE THIS FOREVER, BUT WE THOUGHT HE WOULD OUT GROW IT, BY NOW. IT HAS ACTUALLY GOTTEN WORSE AND IT'S REALLY SCARY WHEN HE DOES IT. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYTHING WRONG OR IF HE HAS JUST FORMED A BAD HABIT! HOPEFULLY, WE CAN GET A TEST SCHEDULED TOMMORROW TO EASE MY MIND!

IT'S SNOWING!!

PLAYING AT MAMAW & PAPAW'S

MY BOYS ARE NOT BABIES ANYMORE:(!!

NAKED BOYS PLAYING WITH DADDY!

WHEN THE BOYS GET OUT OF THE TUB, THEY HAVE TO RUN AROUND AND PLAY NAKED FOR AWHILE! LET'S JUST HOPE THIS DOESN'T GONE ON FOREVER:)!

AIDEN IS SO EXCITED ABOUT BRUSHING HIS TEETH!

MCWANE CENTER

TODAY MI MI AND I DECIDED TO TAKE THE BOYS TO THE MCWANE CENTER TO GET THEM OUT OF THE HOUSE FOR AWHILE. THIS WAS OUR FIRST TIME TO VISIT AND REALLY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. AS YOU CAN SEE THE BOYS HAD A BLAST. I THINK THIS BIG WATER TABLE WAS ONE OF THEIR FAVORITES. DADDY GOT US A MEMBERSHIP AWHILE BACK, BUT WE DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE OLD ENOUGH TO TAKE YET. I DO BELIEVE WE WILL BE GOING THERE MORE OFTEN, NOW THAT I KNOW THEY LIKE IT!!

LOOKING AT ALL THE FISH.

THE BOYS ACTUALLY ENJOYED LOOKING AT ALL THE FISH AND THINGS THEY HAD. I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE TO TRY THE ZOO OUT AGAIN WHEN IT'S PRETTY OUTSIDE. YOU KNOW OUR FIRST AND ONLY TIME TO THE ZOO WAS NOT SO FUN BUT, I THINK THEY'LL ENJOY IT MORE NOW!

SILLY BOYS!!

THIS WAS THE BOYS DIGGING FOR THE BONES WITH THEIR GOGGLES ON! NOTICE THE GOGGLE DIDN'T HAVE A COVER ONE THEM SO I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE FOR. ANYWAYS, THEY ALL LOOKED CUTE AND OF COURSE I HAD TO GET PICTURES.

AND MORE PICTURES
