DOUGHNUT'S WITH DAD

MONDAY WAS DOUGHNUT'S WITH DAD DAY AT SCHOOL. THE BOYS WERE SO EXCITED TO HAVE DADDY JOIN THEM AND SHOW OFF ALL THEIR WORK. DADDY SAID AIDEN DID VERY GOOD AT READING FOR HIM AND AUSTIN DID VERY GOOD WITH HIS MATH WORK.

I LOVE THEIR LITTLE SHIRTS. I BOUGHT THEM AT COTTONTAILS FROM THE TEEN CHALLENGE BOOTH! I PRAY THEY ALWAYS REMEMBER JESUS IS THEIR HERO AND HE WILL BE ONE AND ONLY PERSON ON THIS EARTH THAT WILL NEVER EVER LET THEM DOWN!!

BUSY, BUSY, BOY!!!

THIS BOY IS INTO EVERYTHING AND IF HE CANNOT REACH IT HE WILL FIND AWAY!! IF HE IS HUNGRY HE WILL HELP HIMSELF TO ANYTHING HE CAN FIND AND NOW DAYS HE IS ALL ABOUT DOING IT HIMSELF. HE SAYS, "I DO IT" OR "MYSELF"ALL THE TIME. HE LIKES TO PUT HIS OWN CLOTHES ON AND HE ALSO LIKES TO PICK THEM OUT. IF HE DOES NOT LIKE SOMETHING HE TELLS ME, "NOT DAT" OR "I NOT LIKE IT". REALLY????? I AM SO GLAD I HAVE BOYS, MAN ME AND THREE GIRLS WOULD GO ROUND AND ROUND. ANYWAYS, HE IS A FUNNY BOY AND MAKES MY HEART SMILE! WE ARE ALSO, TRYING OUT UNDERWEAR SOME DAYS. HE IS DOING REALLY WELL AND WILL PEE PEE ABOUT 10 TIMES A DAY IN THE POTTY AND WILL TELL ME WHEN HE HAS TO. I JUST DON'T THINK HE IS READY FOR UNDERWEAR YET, SO I AM GIVING IT A FEW MORE WEEKS, MONTHS. I KNOW HE WILL FIGURE IT OUT WHEN HE IS FULLY READY, SO I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT!

WE HAD A FUN BUSY WEEKEND AND FED THE HOMELESS LAST NIGHT. WE ALL ALWAYS LOVE THAT,BUT LAST NIGHT I LEFT THERE FEELING SUPER BLESSED. I WISH THEY ALL KNEW HOW MUCH THEY BLESS US WHEN WE GO DOWN THERE. I WILL UPDATE AGAIN SOON,BUT FOR NOW I AM ASKING FOR A LITTLE PRAYER THIS MORNING. I HAVE A PROCEDURE AT 12 AND HAVE GIVEN IT ALL TO GOD AND I KNOW NO MATTER WHAT HE IS IN CONTROL! THANK YOU ALL AND HAVE A GREAT WEEK!

LAZY DAY WITH SICK BABIES!!!

WE HAVE BEEN COOPED UP WITH THE STOMACH VIRUS. IT IS SLOWLY MAKING IT'S WAY OUT OF HERE. JAX FOR SOME REASON KEEPS HANGING ON TO IT AND NOW I FEEL BAD! SO WE HAVE BEEN WATCHING MOVIES, PLAYING ON THE IPAD AND JUST BEING LAZY!!

P.S. YES, THAT IS A BLACK EYE THAT AIDEN HAS. HE WAS JUMPING UP AND DOWN ON MY BED AND I WENT TO HAND HIM THE IPAD AND IT WENT STRAIGHT TO HIS POOR LITTLE EYE. HE WAS A TOUGH BOY, THOUGH AND DID NOT EVEN CRY!

T-R-O-U-B-L-E

THIS BOY IS INTO EVERYTHING ALL DAY EVERYDAY!!!! HIS FAVORITE THING TO DO RIGHT NOW IS PLAY IN THE KITCHEN SINK ANYTIME I LEAVE THE ROOM! HE PUSHES THE KITCHEN TABLE CHAIR OVER TO THE SINK AND THEN HE GOES TO TOWN!!! I USUALLY WALK INTO AN OVERFLOWING SINK WITH WATER ALL OVER THE COUNTER TOPS AND DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR!! OH, HOW I LOVE MY TRAILER:)!!!!

MY LITTLE WORKER!

THIS BOY LOVES TO WORK. HE LIKES TO HELP PAW PAW, DADDY, ME OR ANYONE ELSE THAT IS WORKING. HE WORKED THIS WEEKEND AT THE LAKE AND THEN I WAS CLEANING THE OTHER DAY AND HE WANTED TO VACUUM, SO I LET HIM. I EXPLAINED TO HIM IT WAS LIKE DOING CHORES AND HE COULD EARN HIM SOME MONEY. AIDEN AND I HAD BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS ALL WEEKEND BECAUSE HE WAS WANTING ME TO TAKE HIM TO WAL-MART TO BUY SOME WRESTLER'S LIKE WESTON. I TOLD HIM HE COULD NOT JUST GO OUT AND BUY TOYS WHENEVER HE WANTED,BUT I THOUGHT HE WAS GETTING OLD ENOUGH TO DO CHORES AND EARN SOME MONEY. THEN EXPLAINED TO HIM HE COULD SAVE HIS MONEY UP AND BUY HIS WRESTLER'S AND HE NEEDED TO GIVE SOME OF HIS MONEY TO JESUS. HE LOVED THIS IDEA AND HIS FIRST CHORE WAS HELPING ME SET THE TABLE THAT NIGHT FOR DINNER. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO EAT HE DID NOT WANT TO EAT. I KEPT SAYING WELL YOU HAVE TO EAT, DO YOUR CHORES, AND BE A GOOD BOY FOR MOMMY SO YOU CAN GO TO WAL-MART. HE CONTINUED TO COMPLAIN ABOUT HIS TUMMY SO DADDY TRIED TO TRICK HIM AND ASKED IF HE WANTED COOKIE DOUGH AND HE SAID, NO. I KNEW THEN SOMETHING MUST BE WRONG AND DADDY LAID HIM ON THE COUCH AND TOLD HIM HE WOULD DO HIS CHORES FOR HIM. ALL OF SUDDEN MY BABY BOY GOT SICK AND I MEAN SICK. HE WAS UP ALL NIGHT THROWING UP. NEEDLESS TO SAY I FELT HORRIBLE AND YOU BETTER BELIEVE WE WENT AND GOT THOSE WRESTLER'S THE NEXT DAY WHEN HE WAS FEELING BETTER:)!

THE STOMACH VIRUS HAS HIT OUR HOUSE IN FULL FORCE AND JUST WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS ALMOST OVER WITH JAX IS SICK AGAIN. HE STARTED THIS ALL ON WEDNESDAY MORNING, BUT HE IS STILL SICK TODAY. AIDEN GOT IT AFTER JAX AND THEN AUSTIN AND NOW BACK TO JAX. I AM PRAYING IT IS ON IT'S WAY OUT SOON! I HAVE CLOROXED, LYSOLED, WASHED; SHEETS, BLANKETS, PILLOW PETS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE THEY HAVE TOUCHED AND I AM SICK OF SEEING THROW UP AND DIARRHEA!!!!!

THE RODEO WITH MY BOYS!

WE TOOK THE BOYS TO THE RODEO IN COLUMBIANA FRIDAY NIGHT. IT WAS MY IDEA BECAUSE I JUST THOUGHT THE BOYS WOULD LOVE IT. THEY DID,BUT I WAS SHOCKED THAT AIDEN AND JAX LIKED IT MORE THAN AUSTIN. HE LOOKS AND ACTS MORE LIKE MY COWBOY OUT OF THE THREE, BUT HIS FAVORITE PART WAS THE SILLY CLOWN SHAKING HIS BOOTY:)! JAX WAS AMAZED THE WHOLE TIME AND WAS SO GOOD. I COULD NOT BELIEVE HOW HE SAT THERE THE WHOLE TIME AND JUST WATCHED. AIDEN'S FAVORITE PART WAS THE CATTLE ROPING AND HE NOW WANTS TO BE A CATTLE ROPER WHEN HE GROWS UP:)! WE HAD FUN AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO START RIDING AGAIN. MAYBE ONE DAY I WILL GET ME ANOTHER HORSE AND AT LEAST ONE OF THE BOYS WILL BE MY RIDING BUDDY:)!

MY COWBOYS!

MORE FUN!
