WE WILL MISS YOU TOBEY!!!

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE TOP PICTURES TOBEY WAS OLD AND WAS READY TO GO. I WALKED OVER TO SAY GOODBYE TO MY LITTLE TOBEY AND HAD TO TAKE ONE LAST PICTURE OF HIM! HE WAS MY FIRST "REAL" DOG THAT I PICKED OUT ALL BY MYSELF. WHEN WE BROUGHT HIM HOME HE SLEPT IN THE BED WITH ME. OF COURSE HE GOT TO BIG TO STAY INSIDE, SO HE MOVED OUTSIDE. WHEN I GOT MARRIED HE STAYED WITH MI MI AND PAW PAW AND BECAME THEIR DOG. WHEN THEY MOVED OUT HERE HE WAS OLD AND WE ALL REALLY DID NOT THINK HE WOULD MAKE IT THAT LONG,BUT HE GOT A NEW LIFE OUT HERE! HE LOVED IT AND LOST ABOUT 40 LBS AND WENT FROM BARLEY WALKING TO PLAYING FETCH WITH THE BOYS! HE WAS SUCH A GOOD DOG AND LOVED THE BOYS AND WESTON VERY MUCH! HE WAS ALWAYS VERY PROTECTIVE OF THEM AND THEY ALL LOVED HIM! TODAY OUT OF ALL DAYS WHEN WE WERE LEAVING AUSTIN STARTED ASKING WHERE DUKE, DALLAS, AND TOBEY WHERE AND I TOLD HIM TOBEY WENT TO HEAVEN BECAUSE HIM WAS OLD AND TIRED. AUSTIN HAS NOT STOPPED ASKING ABOUT HIM AND WE HAD TO PRAY THREE TIMES THAT TOBEY WAS OKAY AND IN HEAVEN! I AM JUST GLAD THEY DO NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND AND I AM DREADING THE DAY THEY HAVE TO SAY GOODBYE TO DALLAS AND DUKE. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO DO THIS AND THANK GOD MI MI AND PAW PAW WERE HERE BECAUSE IT WAS VERY HARD SEEING HIM AND SAYING GOODBYE TO HIM FOR THE LAST TIME!!! WE WILL MISS YOU AND LOVE YOU, TOBEY!!!

THE LAKE!!

WE MADE IT TO THE LAKE ON FRIDAY JUST IN TIME FOR A QUICK BOAT RIDE IN PAW PAW'S BOAT! THE BOYS LOVED IT AND JAX SEEMED TO LIKE IT TOO! I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HAVING HIM ON THERE,BUT PAW PAW AND DADDY THOUGHT I WAS SILLY! HE DID GREAT AND ENDED UP FALLING ASLEEP FOR THE MOST PART. SATURDAY THE BOYS GOT TO GO SWIMMING WITH PAW PAW AT THE POOL WHILE WE WENT HOUSE HUNTING! I WANT GO INTO ANY DETAILS UNTIL AFTER CLOSING,BUT HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE SPENDING LOTS OF TIME MAKING MEMORIES WITH THESE BOYS ON LAKE MARTIN SOON!!

HANGING OUT!

JAX WAS A GOOD BOY LIKE ALWAYS AND JUST WENT WITH THE FLOW! WE TRIED OUT THE PACK N PLAY SINCE THIS IS WHAT HE WILL BE SLEEPING IN WHEN WE GO TO THE BEACH ON SATURDAY FOR A WEEK AND HE DID GREAT! HE STILL WAKES UP AROUND 4:00 FOR A BOTTLE AND THEN GOES BACK TO SLEEP! THE BOTTOM PICTURES ARE OF HIM AND AIDEN WATCHING CARTOONS WHILE I GOT READY. I LAYED HIM NEXT TO AIDEN AND ASKED HIM IF HE WOULD WATCH HIM FOR ME AND HE WAS MORE THAN WILLING!! I WAS IN THE BATHROOM CONNECTED TO THE ROOM, SO I COULD SEE THEM THE WHOLE TIME,BUT HE WAS REALLY SWEET WITH HIM!

PRETTY SMILES!!

JUST PICTURES........

OF OUR EVERYDAY LIFE!! THE BOYS LIVE OUTSIDE AND PLAY THEIR LITTLE HEARTS OUT EVERYDAY! YESTERDAY WAS NO DIFFERENT,BUT THEY DID GET TO PLAY IN THE HOT TUB BEFORE THEY TOOK THEIR BATHS!! YES PEOPLE, WE LIVE IN A TRAILER AND HAVE A HOT TUB IN THE BACK:)!! THE BOYS LOVED IT AND WERE JUMPING OFF THE SIDE AND SWIMMING TO THE EDGE TO DO IT AGAIN. AUSTIN IS REALLY DOING GOOD AND IS KICKING HIS LITTLE LEGS AND MOVING HIS ARMS TO SWIM. WE ARE HEADED TO THE LAKE TODAY TO SPEND THE DAY WITH GI GI AND PAW PAW TOMMORROW, SO MABEY THEY WILL GET TO SWIM SOME THIS WEEKEND TOO! HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND I WILL UPDATE SOON!

SILLY HAT!!

AIDEN PUT HIS GLOVE ON HIS HEAD AND WAS RUNNING AROUND SINGING, "SILLY HAT, SILLY HAT"!

LEARNING TO WASH DISH'S!!

THE BOYS ARE VERY INDEPENDENT THESE DAYS AND LOVE TO DO EVERYTHING BY THEMSELVES. THEY REALLY PUSH THEM TO DO THIS AT SCHOOL AND SO I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DO MY PART AT HOME TOO. THEY NOW EAT OFF OF BIG BOY PLATES(REAL PLATES) AND DRINK OUT OF REAL CUPS WHEN WE ARE AT THE TABLE. THEY HAVE BEEN DOING THIS AT SCHOOL SINCE DAY ONE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT ALLOW SIPPY CUPS. ANYWAYS, THEY ALSO TAKE THEIR PLATES TO THE GARBAGE AND THROW AWAY THE LEFT OVER FOOD AND THEN PUT THE PLATES IN THE SINK. YESTERDAY I TOLD THEM I HAD TO WASH THE DISH'S AFTER LUNCH AND THEY WANTED TO HELP, SO I LET THEM. AUSTIN WASHED AND AIDEN DRIED THEM. I AM SURE WHEN THEY REALIZE THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY HELPING MOMMY OUT THEY WILL NOT WANT TO DO IT ANYMORE:)!!

3 MONTHS ALREADY!!!

HELP, MY BABY IS GETTING SO BIG!! HE IS STILL SUCH A HAPPY LITTLE BABY AND STILL A MOMMY'S BOY, WHICH I JUST LOVE!! HE STILL LOVES HIS SWING AND SITTING IN HIS BUMBO, SO HE CAN WATCH HIS BIG BROTHERS! HE HAS FOUND HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET AND IT IS SO CUTE TO WATCH HIM. HE SMILES, GIGGLES, AND TALKS ALL THE TIME! HE DOES NOT LIKE HIS BELLY AND USUALLY ROLLS OVER WHEN YOU PUT HIM ON IT! HE JUST GOES WITH FLOW AND I DRAG HIM ALL OVER THE PLACE!! HE IS MY LITTLE WORK OUT BUDDY TOO AND WILL EITHER SLEEP IN HIS CAR SEAT WHILE I RUN AND WALK OR HE WILL JUST SIT AND WATCH ME. I WAS PLANNING ON STARTING HIM IN THE CHILD'S CARE AT YMCA THIS WEEK WHILE I WORKED OUT,BUT AFTER HIS EAR INFECTION I WANTED TO KEEP HIM WELL FOR AWHILE. WE HAVE HIS 3 MONTH PICTURES TONIGHT WITH KIM AND WE ARE ALSO GOING TO TRY AND GET THE FAMILY PICTURES AND PICTURES WITH THE BOYS SINCE THEY WERE SICK FOR THE NEWBORN PICTURES. NOTICE I SAID, TRY!! WE WILL JUST HAVE TO SEE WHAT KIND OF MOOD THE BOYS ARE IN. YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET PICTURES OF ONE CHILD, SO THREE WILL BE A CHALLENGE ,BUT I AM SURE KIM WILL DO GREAT!! SHE ALWAYS DOES! I WILL LET YOU ALL KNOW HOW THAT GOES!!

I COULD EAT THOSE CHUBBY CHEEKS UP!!!

HE FOUND HIS FEET!!!

GET THIS AUBURN HAT OFF ME:)!!!

PLAYING WITH GI GI'S CAMERA!

AFTER OUR EXPERIENCE WITH THE MUD YESTERDAY I STARTED THINKING ABOUT HOW CUTE IT WOULD BE IF I COULD GET SOME PICTURES OF THEM IN THEIR BLUE JEANS AND BARE FEET IN THE MUD! SO, OFF TO THE MUD PUDDLE WE WENT AGAIN. GI GI HAD LEFT HER NICE CAMERA OVER HERE AND I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO TRY IT OUT, SO WE DID. THE BOYS WERE STILL NOT TOO SURE ABOUT THE MUD AND PROBABLY WOULD HAVE DONE BETTER IF I COULD HAVE GOTTEN IN THERE WITH THEM,BUT I HAD JAX IN THE POUCH AND GI GI'S CAMERA. I DID GET ANOTHER IDEA WHY I WAS DOWN THERE AND I AM GOING TO GET DADDY TO HELP ME OUT WITH THAT SOON! ITHOUGHT THEY TURNED OUT CUTE AND I LOVE GI GI'S CAMERA AND TOLD DADDY HE BETTER GET THAT BACK TO HER OR I WOULD BE WANTING ONE:)!!
