7 Months....Really???



Our sweet boy! You are 7 months old today! I just can't believe how quickly time is flying by. You are such a good boy....most of the time! This week you have been home with Daddy as Gail is on a cruise and I'm not quite sure Daddy has your feedings down, but thats okay! You are so active! You roll over whenever we're trying to change your diaper! You are already scooting after your brother and I'm not sure he is quite ready to share his prize posessions with you just yet. You talk to us and laugh with us all the time. You almost always have a smile on your face! You always are chewing on something....I think you have some teeth that are trying to come through! You have brought so much to our lives and we are so grateful for that! We love you and cherish every moment with you!

Honesty is the Best Policy

If there is anything that I want for my children, is for them to always feel loved, always feel safe and never worry! Over the past few months I have come across some people that are not at all who they say or portray that they are and while I have been truly hurt by this, I've also learned some valuable lessons. One lesson I will continue to teach my children is honesty. While not everyone practices honesty, if you are always honest, you can always lay your head down at night knowing that you are a good person. People will say and do things that you may not even understand, but as long as you know in your heart what the right thing is, thats all that matters.

Bad Mommy!






Happy Birthday to my handsome 3 year old! And oh my goodness, Brett is already 6 months old! Where has the time gone? Between changing jobs and trying to get back into a routine, I think I forgot about my children's blog! How dare I!

Wyatt had an amazing birthday! He turned 3 with all of his amazing family and friends! He is going to be like his Mommy, his birthday was spread out over a few days, which is what I like to do too! We still can't convince him that he needs to go pee pee on the potty, he feels like he still needs his diapers! We are working very hard on that! In the last year my big guy grew over 3 inches and gained 6 pounds! We did find out during his "well visit" that our Pediatrician wanted his "bump" (that he has had since he was born and we were told after an ultrasound that it was an elevated blood vessell) checked out again by a Pediatric Surgeon. So off we went this week and he does have a "good kind of" hernia. He is having the 15 minute surgery on May 2nd. He will have to be put under, but the doctor said that our drive to the hospital will be more dangerous than the actual procedure. (I guess he has seen me drive before!) He just started playing soccer and after the initial "shyness", he was all in! He threw himself over that ball and played like a big boy! It was so great to watch! We are excited to continue to watch as the season progresses.

Brett is already 6 months old and mobile! He is the most amazing baby ever! He is so good! He only cries if he is hungry or tired (just like his Daddy!:))! For the most part, he sleeps so good! We are so very lucky! While he isn't in a full crawl, he sure has the "scootch" down! You can set him down on one side of the room and you turn around and he has made it across to the other side of the room! He absolutely adores his big brother! As long as Wyatt is talking, laughing, jumping or just in his sight, he stares and laughs and coos! It is amazing to watch!

Once again, so grateful to be a Mommy to these amazing boys!
