Weekend Wrap - Up

Saturday morning we went out to eat breakfast before Ethan's basketball game at Kelly's! It was so good! Their biscuits are as big as my head, no joking!!! I'll have to take a picture of their over sized food next time we go. I was able to go run some errands that afternoon while Justin hung out with the boys at home ( Evan was taking a nap the whole time I was gone of course). Then later that evening we took the boys to Justin's parents so we could go out. Oh before we left Justin surprised me with my Valentines Day gift. He bought me some great perfume, a cute card and some Mardi Gras jewelery to wear tomorrow.


We had such a great night! We went to go eat at a Mexican restaurant called Cabo's. The food was okay, but the margaritas were wonderful!!! After that we met up with some friends at a bar/pool hall called Reno's. Some of our friend's bands were playing. I even ran into my old best friend Jessica whom I haven't seen in like forever! It was such a great night with good friends & music!!!


Sunday we got to sleep in! Well kind of...I woke up scared that I had forgotten to take my birth control pill. So I jumped out of bed and ran to the bathroom to check. Luckily I took it! Hey you would be scared too if you were as fertile as me!!! That's how we had Jaxon, I was off of my birth control for one day and BAM I'm pregnant. The other three I was on birth control and got pregnant. So see the reason for panic!!!

Well after the shock wore off and I got dressed I went and picked up the boys. We gave them their Valentine candy from us and we just lounged around the house all day napping & watching movies. Hope y'all had a great weekend too & a happy Monday!!!

Me & my boys!

What's been going on lately? Well I'll start with Jonathan...Wednesday was his last basketball game. They lost, but he has improved greatly. This was his first year to play basketball and to everyone amazement he's good. Actually I really wasn't surprised. The child is a natural athlete and it doesn't matter what sport he plays. This weekend he was supposed to come over to our house (yes, he lives with his father. one day if possible I'll post that story. it breaks my heart), but he has a baseball tournament. I'm so excited for him to start up baseball again. I love watching him play!


Ethan has just started to play basketball too this year for the first time. He's doing pretty well too! He's been suffering from a cold this week, so we have a lot of homework for him to finish this weekend. And on top of that the child has to clean his room!!! He has ADD so his room suffers! To me it looks like a total mess, but to him it's all in order. I have to remind myself of this when I want to yell at him for not cleaning it.

Jaxon has been asking non-stop about death. It's starting to get on my nerves. He wants to know about God, Heaven, old people, babies, our souls and how do people die! How do you explain all this to a 4 year old? As soon as I think I answered his questions he comes to me with more. I wish he would find another subject and move on! One funny thing though...he told me this morning that when we get to heaven we will have a concert with Michael Jackson, but he won't do the Thriller video because that is scary and scary things aren't allowed in Heaven! Ha!

Evan's been doing great. He's getting to be a bit bossy though, which is funny because he can't even talk yet! Ha! He tries to show off in front of his brothers which normally ends up in him getting hurt or in trouble. Right now it looks like he's been in a fight. He has bruise all over him from falling and jumping off of things. To me it's not a big deal, I've become used to these things because I think it's a boy thing to be a daredevil!!! I'm just happy it's cold outside so he has to wear pants and long sleeves so no one can see the bruises and think we abuse him!


Well that's what my boys have been up to! Hope y'all have a warm and fun weekend!!!

Jaxon-ism!

These are a couple of Jaxon sayings that I pulled from my facebook page. That kid cracks me up!

"sniff, sniff" Jaxon, "Hey you know what that sound is?" Me,"Yeah it's your nose. You have a cold." Jaxon,"NO. It's my boogers. They've melted." Hahahahaha! Gross!

Jaxon walked into the living room w/ some paper w/ letters he scibbled on it. He asked, " What do this spell?" I said," I don't know. You tell me. You wrote it." Jaxon - " How am I supposed to know. I can't read." Ha!

Jaxon walked into the living room and said,"It stinks in here. Who farted?" Then he went back to his room. He walked right back into the living room & said, " I guess it was me because the smell follows me everywhere I go." Ha! Stinky little boys!

Jaxon heard on the news, "Help for Haiti." He wanted to know why there was a place named like me and why they needed help. I need to get the child's ear checked!

Earlier this morning...Jaxon,"I know it's your b-day, but I'm not telling u what I got u." Me,"Well it's my b-day now, so u can tell me what u got me." Jaxon,"No I can't tell u b/c I didn't get u anything." I guess u could say he gave me a good laugh!!!

"Guess who I'm thinking of. She's on TV and speaks spanish." Me - "Dora." Jaxon - " No. Kilan." Me - "Kilan doesn't speak spanish. She speaks chinese." Jaxon - "It's the same thing. They both sound funny."

Today's Jaxon-ism, "Oh my! It's snowing ice!" I had to explain to the poor child it was hailing and no he could not go outside to play in it!

This morning when we went outside to take Ethan to school Jaxon saw the fog and said, " Look! The colors are faded!" I've never thought of it that way!

Jaxon just asked me , " Why do we have a diamond room?" He was trying to say dining room, but I like the way he thinks!!!

Wordless Wednesday!

About two months ago I ordered Ethan this free Lego magazine. I found out about it at Hip2Save. This is an awesome website for good deals and ways to save money! Well anyways we got the magazine in the mail and it was in 3D. Ethan let Evan check it out also!

"What's that bright thing in the sky?"

Yep you guessed it, it was the sun!!! We haven't seen it in such a long time. Yesterday was a gorgeous day. So since Ethan was playing hooky from school I sent the boys to the back yard to play! They were in need of some good old fashion vitamin D. They decided to make parachutes for their army guys and throw them off the swing set.



Evan was even running in and out with just his diaper on! That's how warm it was!!!


They played for a good 2 hours or so, but that was it! Why, you ask. Well all of a sudden Ethan was calling me to go outside to see something. As soon as I walked out side I saw Evan climbing up the slide to the swing set. Great that's like a 6-7 foot fall!!! Okay that was enough playing outside for the day.

Well at least they got a chance to play outside for a while. Now it's in the 40's here and the high for the rest of the week is supposed to be in the 50's. What is going on with this weather! Hey I'm happy though it's not the crazy blizzard & snow everyone else is getting. Hope y'all have a warm & cozy Tuesday!!!

Super Bowl Sunday!

Yesterday we went over to Justin's older brother, Eric's new house. They live about an hour away. (I wish they lived closer so we could hang out more often.) So we packed the boys and all their toys and snacks in the car and head over there to watch the Super Bowl! We had such a great time (Even though the Colts lost!) and the boys had a blast playing. They had the entire upstairs to themselves!!! Every once in a while we could hear them getting a little rowdy, and now I know for sure we made the right choice when we bought a one story! Ha!


We played squares and Tony (Justin's younger brother) won the 2nd and 3rd quarter and their Aunt Nina won the first! Yay!


There was tons of yummy food and great adult beverages!!! Evan helped out by cleaning up their floor for them!


It was also Eric's birthday back on the 2nd so we also had cake too!


The funniest thing were these crackers that Sarah (Eric's wife) got with the deli tray. They were digestive crackers! Ha!


We had such a great time, but we did get home a little late. So needless to say Ethan played hooky from school today. Shhhhhh don't tell!!!

100 Days & Window Watching

Yesterday was Ethan's 100th day of school. The kids were told to decorate a shirt with 100 things of their choice. Ethan decorated his with frog and bug stickers! He loved his shirt! By the time he got home from school there were no more stickers on his shirt though!!! Ha!

When Justin got home from work last night he went outside to practice basketball with Ethan. Jaxon went outside too to play on his powerwheel jeep! I was cooking dinner so poor Evan was stuck inside with me. He kept sticking his head against the window to watch them outside. He would get excited every time he would see one of them run by. He would scream and start laughing. It was so cute!!!


We had basketball this morning and now we're off to a birthday party! Happy Saturday Y'all!!!
