2 YEARS OLD AND ALL GROWN UP:)!

HE WAS SO STINKING CUTE GOING TO SCHOOL TUESDAY IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF! HE WALKED RIGHT IN AND STARTED PLAYING. I WAS GOING TO SNEAK OUT AND THEN I JUST COULD NOT, I HAD TO TELL HIM BYE. I GAVE HIM A KISS AND HUG AND HE SAID, "YOU BE BACK IN A MINUTE." I SAID, "YES" AND THAT WAS IT. HE IS JUST GROWING UP SO FAST AND DID AWESOME HIS FIRST DAY AND WAS READY TO GO BACK TODAY. I CRIED WHEN I WALKED OUT BECAUSE IT JUST SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY I WAS BRINGING HIM HOME FROM THE HOSPITAL! TIME FLIES WHEN YOUR HAVING FUN AND THAT IS WHAT WE ARE DOING:)! I LOVE MY BABY BOYS SO MUCH!

READY FOR SCHOOL:)!

I ALWAYS ASK HIM HOW OLD HE IS AND HE SAYS,"ONE" FIRST WITH A BIG GRIN BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT IS NOT RIGHT:)! THEN I SAY NO YOUR NOT HOW OLD ARE YOU, AND HE SAYS, "TWO". HE WAS SO EXCITED TO BE GOING TO "SCHOOL" LIKE HIS BIG BROTHERS AND WAS SO HAPPY TO FINALLY WEAR HIS BACKPACK LIKE A BIG BOY:)!

FALL BALL BEGINS!

THE BOYS STARTED FALL BALL PRACTICE LAST NIGHT. DADDY IS COACHING AGAIN AND THEY HAVE THEIR BUDDY, TUCKER ON THEIR TEAM SO THEY ARE EXCITED! THEY START HITTING LESSONS ON THURSDAY TO TRY TO GET A LITTLE HELP WITH LEARNING THE BASICS AT HITTING OF THE COACH. THEY DO COACH PITCH FROM NOW ON, SO HOPEFULLY THIS WILL HELP THEM GET THE HANG OF IT. THEY PLAY WITH 4, 5, AND 6 YEAR OLD'S. AS LONG AS THEY HAVE FUN THAT IS ALL THAT MATTERS:)!

GREAT JOB, AIDEN:)!

EACH DAY A CHILD IS RECOGNIZED FOR GOOD BEHAVIOR AND LAST WEDNESDAY, AIDEN WAS IN HIS CLASS. HE WAS SO PROUD AND I WAS SO PROUD OF HIM!

MAKING UP FOR MESSING UP:)!

SO THE LAST TWO WEEKS THE BOYS HAVE HAD TO WEAR A DIFFERENT COLOR FOR EACH DAY OF THE WEEK. WE HAD A SET DAY FOR EACH COLOR AND I DID SO GOOD GETTING ALL THEIR SHIRTS IRONED AND READY FOR THE NEXT DAY, BUT I MESSED UP ONE DAY:)! I THOUGHT FOR SOME REASON IT WAS GREY DAY AFTER BLACK DAY AND SENT THEM ALL DECKED OUT IN THEIR CUTE GREY SHIRTS AND REALIZED AT ABOUT 1:00 THAT DAY IT WAS ACTUALLY WHITE DAY!! THERE WAS NOT EVEN A GREY DAY ON THE CALENDAR. GUESS I THOUGHT THEIR SHOULD BE A GREY DAY AFTER BLACK DAY:)! OH WELL, THEY FORGAVE ME AND DID NOT SAY MUCH BECAUSE THEY WERE SO EXCITED THEIR COUSIN, GRIFFIN WAS RIDING HOME WITH US THAT DAY. I TOOK THEM ALL TO DAIRY QUEEN TO MAKE UP FOR MY BIG MISTAKE:)!

MINI GETAWAY!

RJ AND I FLEW OUT TO HOUSTON, TX TO PICK UP MY NEW CAR AND HAD A LITTLE FUN ON OUR ADVENTURE HOME. WE STAYED THE NIGHT IN HOUSTON AND WENT TO THE ASTROS VS GIANTS GAME AND THEY WON! EVERYONE TOLD US THEY WERE NOT VERY GOOD, BUT RJ'S DREAM IS TO VISIT EVERY MLB STADIUM AND HE HAD NEVER BEEN THERE BEFORE. WE SPENT THE NIGHT AND THEN DROVE HALF-WAY HOME TO NEW ORLEANS. WE STAYED THE NIGHT THERE AND ENJOYED SOME AWESOME FOOD BEFORE WE DROVE HOME TO SEE OUR BABIES! THEY GOT TO SPEND THE WEEKEND WITH GI GI AND PAW PAW AT THE LAKE! I TOLD THEM THEY HAVE TO HELP ME TAKE CARE OF OUR NEW CAR BECAUSE IF YOU COULD SEE MY OLD ONE YOU WOULD KNOW WHY I SAY THAT! IT WAS A WONDERFUL CAR AND WE MADE LOTS OF MEMEORIES IN THERE, BUT IT BECAME KNOW AS THE "NASTIGATOR"! I KNOW ALL YOU MOM'S OUT THERE CAN RELATE! YOU DO WHAT YOU DO TO GET A LITTLE PEACE IN QUIET IN THE CAR SOMETIMES:)!

THESE WERE THE ONLY PICTURES WE TOOK. I TOOK TWO IN NEW ORLEANS, BUT THEY ARE ON MY PHONE! WE JUST ENJOYED OUR TIME TOGETHER AND I HAVE TO SAY I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH MY HUBBY:)!

HE HAD TO HAVE HIS BALLOON:)!

THIS SWEET BOY IS GROWING UP SO FAST!! I HAVE ENJOYED SPENDING THE MORNINGS WITH HIM WHILE THE BOYS ARE IN SCHOOL, BUT I THINK HE MISSES HE BROTHERS:)! HE GETS BORED WITHOUT THEM, BUT HE STARTS MOTHER'S DAY OUT NEXT WEEK. I AM SURE HE WILL LOVE IT BECAUSE HE LOVES TO JUST GO AND IF WE STAY HOME ONE MORNING HE IS ASKING TO GO TO THE YMCA TO "PAY"! HE WILL ONLY GO THREE DAYS A WEEK UNTIL 12:30 SO WE WILL STILL HAVE SOME TIME TOGETHER! I WAS LOOKING AT THIS PICTURE AND THINKING WHERE IN THE WORLD HAS MY BABY GONE! MAN, HE HAS GROWN UP SO FAST! I LOVE WATCHING HIM AND HE IS SO VERY SMART AND THINKS HE IS AS BIG IS HIS BROTHERS ARE! THIS WAS YESTERDAY AFTER WE HAD BEEN OUT RUNNING ERRANDS I HAD GOTTEN A BALLOON FOR SOMEONE ELSE AND HE HAD TO HAVE ONE TOO. HE WOULD NOT LET IT GO FOR NOTHING AND EVEN HAD TO SLEEP WITH IT. DON'T WORRY I KEPT A GOOD WATCH ON HIM EVERY 5 MINUTES BECAUSE I WAS SCARED HE MIGHT GET TANGLED, BUT HE WAS SO TIRED HE DID NOT MOVE:)! HE EVEN ASKED TO GO TO SLEEP AFTER HE FINISHED HIS LUNCH! HE IS LIKE AIDEN WHEN IT COMES TO SLEEPING. HE LOVES HIS SLEEP AND BECAUSE WE HAVE TO GET THE BOYS AT 2:45 HE SOMETIMES MISSES HIS NAPS, BUT NOT YESTERDAY:)!

CAPTAIN AMERICA!

AIDEN IS ALL ABOUT SOME SUPER HEROES THESE DAYS. THIS WAS HIS PRIZE FOR COACHING AND CHEERING ON HIS BABY BROTHER WHILE HE POOPED IN THE POTTY FOR THE FIRST TIME:)! HEY, WHATEVER AND WHOEVER IT TAKES TO GET HIM TO POOP IN THE POTTY I WILL DO IT:)! SO, IT WAS A FUN DAY OF CELEBRATION AFTER SCHOOL ON MONDAY!

JUST LIKE BUBBA!

JAX IS JUST LIKE HIS BUBBA AUSTIN WHEN IT COMES TO TOYS. HE LOVES THE BOB CATS, BACK HOES, DUMP TRUCKS, AND ANYTHING ELSE THAT INVOLVES DIRT!! SO, HE PICKED OUT HIM AND AUSTIN SOME NEW WORK TRUCKS:)! THIS WAS HIS PRIZE FOR POOPIN' IN THE POTTY:)! OF COURSE, IF ONE GETS A PRIZE THEY ALL GET ONE, SO JAX PICKED OUT BUBBA A NEW DIRT TOY TOO:)!

RUNNING AND UNDERWEAR!

THIS WAS LAST WEEKEND AT THE LAKE AND THE BOYS HAVE BEEN BEGGING ME TO RUN, SO WE RAN! THEY DID GREAT FOR THEIR FIRST RUN AND POOR JAX WANTED TO GO, BUT HE WAS HAPPY AFTER HE FOUND OUT HE COULD HELP DADDY WORK ON THE LAWN MOWER. NOTHING LIKE WORKING OUTSIDE IN YOUR UNDIES:)! I AM PROUD TO SAY MY BABY BOY IS ALMOST POTTY TRAINED. HE HAS BEEN WEARING UNDERWEAR FOR OVER A WEEK NOW AND DOES GREAT UNTIL HE DROPS HIS PANTS AND PEES ANYWHERE WHILE OUT IN PUBLIC:)! I GUESS THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LIVE ON 40 ACRE'S AND IT IS NOT A BIG DEAL TO WALK AROUND OUTSIDE IN YOUR UNDERWEAR WHILE LEARNING TO POTTY. HE LOVES TO PEE ON ROCKS AND TIRES:)! HE HAD BEEN SCARED TO GO POOP IN THE POTTY FOR SOME REASON UNTIL TONIGHT AND I AM HAPPY TO SAY HE POOPED IN THE POTTY WHILE I WAS GONE! NOW, HE GETS A BIG BOY PRIZE AND A BIG BOY CAR SEAT:)! MY BABY IS ALL GROWN UP NOW. HE SAYS, "I A BIG BOY NOW, MOMMY!"

ENJOYING THE WEEKEND!

AFTER SCHOOL WAS OUT WE HEADED TO THE LAKE TO ENJOY THE BEAUTIFUL WEEKEND! WE WENT FOR AN AFTERNOON BOAT RIDE AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT IS MY FAVORITE TIME ON THE LAKE! OF COURSE WE HAD TO TAKE THE DOGS AND THEY GET ALL KINDS OF LOVING FROM THE BOYS:)!

BUSTED!!

JAX WENT MISSING ON THE BOAT AND I FOUND HIM IN THE HIDE OUT EATING AUSTIN'S BUBBLE GUM! AS YOU CAN IMAGINE IT WAS ALL FUN AND GAMES UNTIL AUSTIN REALIZED HIS GUM WAS ALL GONE!! LITTLE STINKER HAD A MOUTH FULL OF IT:)!
