Trouble in the Bathroom

Not a great picture but I think you can figure it out. This is what I found when Grayson called me into the bathroom when he was finished making a stinky. I don't think I can say anything else about this picure.

Playing at the aquarium

A couple weeks ago I took my kids along with my neighbors kids and my cousin's son to play in the water at the aquarium. We had a blast. I took the camera to take pictures, but once I got it out I realized the memory card was still in the computer. So, the only picture I have I took with my phone. The resolution isn't that great but I think the picture is very cute.

Little Man's Surgery

Today Grayson has surgery to receive his second set of tubes and to remove his adenoids. He is doing very well. The surgery was performed at the hospital where Mark works so of course Mark knew everyone. Grayson was the center of attention once we arrived. We had people in and out just to say hi and some to play with Grayson. It was pretty funny to see some of the doctors and nurses carrying on with him. He had one nurse almost believing that we had let him eat pancakes this morning (he couldn't eat after midnight). LOL! When it was time for him to be wheeled to surgery he raised his arms and said WEEE as if he was on a roller coaster. Of course I had tears in my eyes. One would have thought he was in a parade with all of the people lining up the aisle telling him hi and bye. Afterwards he wasn't too happy with the IV. We kept telling him he couldn't get it out until he started drinking but he wasn't having that. Finally, one of the nurses said that he had won that battle and she removed it. As soon as she did he started drinking some apple juice. He slept on the way home and then we all climbed into Mommy's bed to watch a "dinosaur movie' (Land Before Time). Before the movie was over Grayson was eating pizza and breadsticks and back to his normal self. Since we have been home he has ate pizza, breadsticks, pancakes, jello, yogurt, cheese balls, and candy. Of course not all in that order. Right now he is outside playing with our neighbor (nothing too strenuous). I hope he continues to do well tonight and tomorrow. Reagan spent the night last night with Mark's parents and she's going to again tonight. We just want to make sure Grayson gets lots of rest tonight and can sleep late tomorrow morning. With Reagan home everyone is up by 6:30 am at the latest! I will try to keep you posted!

T-Ball picnic

Today I have been very lazy, well at least I should say this afternoon. Today Grayson had his t-ball picnic. We ate hotdogs and the kids received their trophy's. This was Grayson's first trophy so he was pretty excited. He did receive a medal in gymnastics this past week too. I guess I need to post those pictures also. Anyway after the picnic he and Reagan went to their Nana and Papaw's house, Mark went golfing and I went home. I have had a totally relaxing afternoon of laying out and reading books. This doesn't happen very often, or should I say almost never so I took advantage. Now I'm eating left over pizza that Grayson and I brought home from Mellow Mushroom after our "date" last night. We went with another Mommy and son and saw the movie UP (tissues are needed for the Mommies). After the movie we took the boys to play in the water at the aquarium. They had a blast! Well, I'm going to go and enjoy my last few moments of peace. Here are some pics from the picnic.


Zane and Grayson (cousins)

Easton and his trophy


Zane is very proud of his trophy!

Grayson right after receiving his.

Some proud baseball players!

Easton (Grayson's friend, my friends son), Eli (Grayson's cousin on Daddy's side), Zane (Grayson's cousin on Mommy's side), and Grayson. They are all 3 and 4 years old. It's going to be a little crazy when they all start school.


Grayson's t-ball team (or most of them)


My friend and I didn't know until after the season started that both our boys had the same number.

Celebrating Memorial Day

Mark and I had his family over to grill out for Memorial Day. It was nice just to hang out for a while. His parents, younger brother and wife, cousin, niece, and nephew all came. We had LOTS of yummy food, including my favorite ice cream pie! Of course I probably gained 5 pounds tonight. After eating we took turns on the 4wheeler and the kids opened up one of Reagan's presents she received last week for her birthday. It was a bubble rocket which was pretty cool. The really enjoyed it. Of course we also broke out the water guns and hose for some action. Here are a few pics I took of the kids before everyone arrived and while they were still clean. If you want to see all of them go to my facebook. I hope everyone had a great holiday!









Happy Memorial Day



Please don't forget to say a prayer and a thank you to those who serve our country!

May 18th

Two years ago I received a very special gift. My sweet precious little girl. I can not believe that it has been two years. She has been such a blessing to our lives I can not imagine life without her. Every day is a new adventure full of surprises, cuddles and arguments with this one. She looks like her daddy with blond curly hair, but she is a little bit stubborn like her Mommy. I pray that she will have a long healthy life that will treat her well, and give her much happiness.
Happy 2nd birthday Reagan!
