CHIRSTMAS IN DECATUR!

SUNDAY WE HAD CHRISTMAS WITH MY MAMAW AND PAPAW IN DECATUR, AL. WE ALL PILED INTO THE MOTOR HOME AND DADDY DROVE US THERE SO WE COULD ALL RIDE TOGETHER AND THE BOYS COULD NAP WHILE THEY WATCHED MOVIES. THEY WERE SO EXCITED AND COULD NOT WAIT TO OPEN THEIR PRESENTS. BROOKS AND JAX LIKED THE PAPER MORE THAN ANYTHING, BUT THE BOYS AND WESTON LOVED THEIR TRUCKS. MOMMY LOVED THE PECAN PIE:)! WE HAD SO MUCH FUN SPENDING TIME WITH THE FAMILY AND THEN WE STOPPED FOR ICE CREAM ON THE WAY HOME! IT WAS A GREAT TRIP AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU ALL AGAIN SOON! WE LOVE YOU AND WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

CHRISTMAS PARTY!

SATURDAY WE WENT TO A CHRISTMAS PARTY AT DAN AND DANICA'S AND THE BOYS HAD SO MUCH FUN. THEY ROASTED HOT DOGS, ATE COOKIES, JUMPED IN THE BOUNCER, AND EVEN GOT TO SEE SANTA CLAUS. THEY WERE SO EXCITED WHEN THEY HEARD HE WAS THERE AND RAN TO THE DOOR TO SEE HIM. AIDEN WAS THE FIRST ONE IN HIS LAP TO TELL HIM WHAT HE WANTED. WHO KNOWS WHAT THAT BOY REALLY WANTS BECAUSE HE TENDS TO CHANGE HIS MIND A LOT. I SURE HOPE SANTA HAS IT RIGHT! AUSTIN KEEPS HIS THE SAME, TRACTOR WITH PEDALS:)! JAX EVEN GOT HIS PICTURE MADE AND HE JUST STARES AT HIM. THE BOYS ALSO FOUND THE PIANO AND MICROPHONE UPSTAIRS AND SANG A LITTLE "COUNTRY" AND "BIG GREEN TRACTOR" FOR US ALL!! NOW DADDY IS ON A HUNT FOR A KARAOKE SET:)! THANKS FOR INVITING US TO THE PARTY, IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!

JUST PRECIOUS!

JAX HIT THE JACKPOT!!

I WALKED INTO THE LIVING ROOM THIS MORNING TO FIND THIS MAN COVERED IN CHOCOLATE, BUT AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. THEN I REMEMBERED, IT MUST BE THE BROWNIE I GAVE AUSTIN THIS MORNING. HE LEFT IT SITTING ON THE SIDE TABLE AND JAX FOUND IT AND DUG IN:)! GUESS HE TAKES AFTER HIS MOMMY TOO.

DON'T WORRY, I USUALLY DO NOT FEED THE BOYS BROWNIES FOR BREAKFAST, BUT AUSTIN SAW IT SITTING IN THE PIE PAN THAT I WAS EATING OUT OF. I WAS FINISHING OFF SOME PECAN PIE, SO HOW IN THE WORLD COULD I SAY NO TO A BROWNIE FOR BREAKFAST FOR MY LITTLE MAN THAT NEEDS EVERY OUNCE OF FAT HE CAN GET. SO AUSTIN GOT HIS BROWNIE,BUT JAX FINISHED IT OFF FOR HIM.

I LOVE MY LIFE AND ESPECIALLY DAYS LIKE THIS. NOTHING TO DO AND NO WHERE TO BE EXCEPT HERE ENJOYING THESE FUNNY MOMENTS WITH MY FUNNY BOYS!!!

OH, AND THIS IS FOR MI MI, BUT I DON'T HAVE A PICTURE! I LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW THIS MORNING TO SEE JED WITH HIS HEAD STUCK INSIDE ANY EMPTY DOG FOOD BAG AND THOUGHT HE WAS JUST PLAYING WITH IT. THEN AFTER HE RAN INTO THE PORCH AND DUKE AND DALLAS WERE STARRING AT HIM LIKE HE WAS CRAZY, I REALIZED IT WAS STUCK ON HIS HEAD. I CALLED MY DAD, SO HE COULD SEE JED AND HE DID GET A PICTURE FOR MI MI. AFTER JED RAN INTO THE TRAILER FOR ABOUT THE THIRD TIME I TOOK IT OFF HIS HEAD FOR HIM!! ALWAYS SOMETHING EXCITING GOING ON HERE AND THIS IS ALL IN ONE DAY BEFORE NOON:)!

GUESS HE NEEDED SOME CHOCOLATE MILK TO WASH THAT DOWN:)!

YES, AIDEN LEFT HIS OPENED CHOCOLATE MILK SITTING ON THE TOY CHEST AND JAX HELPED HIMSELF TO IT. WHAT DO YOU DO.........LAUGH AND THEN TAKE A PICTURE TO REMEMBER THESE FUNNY MOMENTS THAT WILL BE GONE ONE DAY:)!

DID I EVER TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE MY TRAILER:)! YOU COULD NOT PAY ME TO BUILD A HOUSE RIGHT NOW!

CHRISTMA PARTY AT SCHOOL!

FRIDAY WAS THE BOYS LAST DAY UNTIL NEXT YEAR:)! THEY HAD ALL KINDS OF FUN THINGS TO DO AND THEY GOT TO WEAR THEIR JAMMIES. THEY HAD FUN AND WERE EXCITED TO TELL ME ALL ABOUT THEIR DAY.

WE HAVE HAD A BUSY WEEKEND AND WILL END IT TODAY WITH THE BOYS VERY FIRST CHRISTMAS PROGRAM AT CHURCH AND THEN OUR FIRST CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION WITH MY MAMAW AND PAPAW IN DECATUR, SO LOTS OF PICTURES TO COME. HAVE A WONDERFUL SUNDAY!

HEADED FOR TROUBLE!!!

OUR POOR TREE!WE WILL BE LUCKY IF IT MAKES IT TO CHRISTMAS DAY, BETWEEN JAX GRABBING ALL THE ORNAMENTS OFF AND THEN THE BOYS PUTTING THEM BACK ON USUALLY 5 ORANMENTS TO ONE BRANCH:)! WHO KNOW HOW MUCH LONGET IT WILL LAST. NOT TO MENTION AIDEN LIKES TO FLY HIS MONSTER TRUCKS UP IN IT AND THEN THE BOWS, WELL, LETS JUST SAY DONT EXPECT TO HAVE A BOW ON YOU PRESENT THIS YEAR:)! I JUST LAUGH, BECAUSE REALLY IT IS THEIR TREE, SO THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT WITH IT. ONE DAY I WILL HAVE MY OWN SPECIAL PRETTY TREES,BUT UNTIL THEN I WILL NOT WASTE MY TIME FIXING THIS ONE OR GETTING ON TO THEM ALL DAY ABOUT TOUCHING IT! LIFE IS TO SHORT AND CHRISTMAS IS NOT ABOUT THE TREE OR PRESENTS UP UNDER IT, ANYWAYS:)!

MILK!

YESTERDAY WHILE WE WERE SHOPPING JAX STARTED CRYING AND I LOOKED AROUND TO SEE WHAT MAY BE BOTHERING HIM AND HE HAD HIS LITTLE FISTS JUST A GOING. HE WAS DOING THE SIGN LANGUAGE FOR, MILK! HE WANTED HIS BOTTLE! I WAS SO PROUD OF MY LITTLE MAN AND REALLY CAUGHT OF GUARD BECAUSE I DONT SIGN ALOT WITH HIM, BUT I DO A FEW OF THE MAIN WORDS. MAINLY.......MILK, EAT, AND MORE. HE LOVES IT WHEN I DO THEM TOO AND IF I SAY THOSE WORDS AND HE IS NOT LOOKING AT ME HE WILL LOOK TO SEE IF I AM SIGNING THEM. I REMEMBER SOME DAYS IT WAS SO FRUSTRATING TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IN THE WORLD THE BOYS WANTED AND WHEN THEY STARTED PICKING UP ON THE SIGIN LANGUAGE IT HELPED SO MUCH. HE IS DOING VERY GOOD WITH THE SIPPY CUP TOO, BUT I STILL GIVE HIM HIS BOTTLES ALOT TOO. HE WOULD PROBALY DO FINE WITHOUT THEM, BUT THAT MEANS HE WOULD REALLY NOT BE A BABY ANYMORE:)!

I AM SO PROUD OF HIM FOR THAT,BUT I AM NOT TOO HAPPY TO REPORT THAT HE HAS BITTEN AIDEN TWICE!!!! I THOUGHT MAYBE AIDEN WAS JUST GETTING TOO CLOSE WHEN JAX WAS CHEWING ON SOMETHING,BUT I CAUGHT HIM LAST NIGHT GOING AFTER AIDEN SEVERAL TIMES. POOR AIDEN, HE GOT BITTEN SO MUCH BY AUSTIN AND NOW JAX. IT IS HORRIBLE WHEN IT HAPPENS TOO BECAUSE HE BITES HARD. AIDEN STARTS SCREAMING AND THEN JAX STARTS SCREAMING. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO EITHER BECAUSE HE IS TOO YOUNG TO REALLY UNDERSTAND. I TELL HIM, NO NO AND GIVE HIM THAT LOOK, BUT HE JUST GRINS AT ME! I HOPE I DO NOT HAVE ANOTHER BITER ON MY HANDS!!

MY LITTLE THINKER!

AIDEN IS MY LITTLE THINKER. HE LOVES TO PUT PUZZLES TOGETHER, HE LOVES TO BUILD LEGOS, AND HE LOVES TO JUST LEARN. HE GETS THAT FROM HIS DADDY:)! HE IS DOING GREAT THESE DAYS AND THINKS HE IS SUCH A BIG BOY. HIS TWO BUDDIES FROM SCHOOL ARE FIVE YEARS OLD SO HE HANGS OUT WITH THEM ALL MORNING AND COMES HOME TALKING ABOUT POWER RANGERS AND TRANSFORMERS. WE WERE SITTING AT THE TABLE LAST NIGHT AND HE WAS JUST TALKING AND HE SAID," SANTA IS BRINGING ME A BLUE GO KART." I SAID, "DO WHAT." WHERE IN THE WORLD DID YOU GET THAT IDEA WHO, IS ASKING FOR A BLUE GO KART. HE SAID, "CHAP." THAT IS ONE OF HIS BUDDIES FROM SCHOOL. I THOUGHT THAT WAS PRETTY FUNNY:)! HE IS ALWAYS TELLING ME SOME KIDS OF STORY AND THAT BOY REMEMBERS ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. HE WILL BRING UP STUFF FROM A YEAR AGO. HE REALLY DOES AMAZE ME AND IS STILL A MOMMYS BOY! HE DOES NOT LIKE TO SPEND THE NIGHT AWAY FROM HIS MOMMY AND HE ALWAYS GETS TO SLEEP WITH MOMMY WHEN AUSTIN IS VISITING HIS MI MI OR GI GI!

UPDATE ON MY LITTLE AUSTIN!

AUSTIN WENT FOR A FOLLOW UP WITH HIS GI DOCTOR LAST WEEK AND HE HAS BEEN DOING GREAT, BUT HAD NOT GAINED ANY WEIGHT SINCE AUGUST. HE WEIGHED 28 LBS. I COULD NOT BELIEVE IT BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN DOING GREAT AND HAS NOT THROWN UP ONCE SINCE WE STARTED THE STEROID. WE ACTUALLY STOPPED IT BECAUSE HE WAS DOING SO GOOD. DR. MESTRE DID NOT SEEM TOO CONCERN AND WAS HAPPY TO HEAR HE HAS BEEN DOING SO GOOD. WE ARE GOING TO STAY ON HIS NEXIUM FOR A MONTH AND THEN GO OFF OF IT FOR A MONTH AND SEE HOW HE DOES. THE ONLY WAY TO CHECK HIS EE IS TO HAVE ANOTHER ENDOSCOPY,SO THAT WILL BE OUR NEXT STEP TO SEE IF IT HAS GOTTEN ANY BETTER. OTHER THAN NOT GAINING ANY WEIGHT HE IS DOING GREAT. HE IS DOING VERY GOOD WITH HIS SPEECH THERAPY AT SCHOOL TOO AND LOVES MRS. STEPHANIE. SHE COMES FROM CHILD'S PLAY THERAPY ONCE A WEEK AND WORKS WITH HIM. HE ADORES HIS TEACHERS TOO AND THAT MAKES ME HAPPY. MRS. TONI SENT A NOTE HOME LAST WEEK TALKING ABOUT HIM AND HOW MUCH FUN THEY HAD READING A BOOK TOGETHER. HE LOVES ONE ON ONE TIME AND WILL GO WITH WHOMEVER TO GET IT. IF MI MI OR GI GI COME OVER THEN HE ASK IF HE CAN GO TO THEIR HOUSE TO SPEND THE NIGHT. HE WOULD SPEND THE NIGHT AWAY EVERY NIGHT IF WE WOULD LET HIM. HE JUST KNOWS THAT HE GETS WHAT HE WANTS A LOT EASIER WHEN IT IS JUST HIM AND HE GETS THEIR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION. HE IS SO FULL OF LIFE AND SO SWEET. HE STILL HAS HIS LITTLE TEMPERS,BUT HE REALLY IS SWEET. THEY GOT TO GO SHOPPING AT SCHOOL TODAY WITH MONEY I SENT FOR THEM TO BUY EACH OTHER A GIFT AND HE CAME HOME WITH SOMETHING FOR EACH ONE OF US. HE WAS SO EXCITED TO GIVE JAX AND I ARE SURPRISES TODAY. HE LOVES JAXSON TO DEATH AND TAKES CARE OF HIM. HE WILL ALWAYS COME RUNNING TO ME WHEN HE HEARS JAX WAKE UP AND TELL ME TO GO AND GET HIM. I AM SO PROUD OF MY BABY BOY AND THANK GOD FOR BLESSING ME WITH HIM!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, WESTON!

SUNDAY WESTON HAD HIS FIVE YEAR OLD BIRTHDAY PARTY AT THE MCWAYNE CENTER AND ALL THE KIDS HAD SO MUCH FUN. THEY WERE ALL OVER THE PLACE CHECKING OUT THE SHARKS, TRAINS, AND JUST PLAYING. I CANNOT BELIEVE WESTON IS ALREADY FIVE YEARS OLD, SUCH A BIG BOY. THEY JUST ALL GROW UP SO FAST. WE LOVE YOU WESTON AND HAD SO MUCH FUN AT YOUR PARTY!!!
