We lost one!!

Ty lost his first tooth!! Woo hoo! Ok....It has been loose for over 2 months....his big boy tooth came in from behind and was pushing it out of the way....It has been practically falling out of his mouth for the last 2 weeks. Ty is usually pretty afraid of most new things. This was no exception. It took alot of patience on his mommy and daddy's parts to not yank it out about 30 days ago! :) But we let him do it in his own time and pull it himself so hopefully the rest of the baby teeth wont be so dramatic...LOL! He is so happy and is waiting patiently for the $20 his Papa promised him for pulling it himself. Ha ha! WOW!!! Papa is much nicer than the tooth fairy that only left him a $5. Btw...We put him down for bed at 8...still awake until around 930....Woke up at 1030... Came down the stairs and saw us sitting here....showed us the tooth fairy had come...Hmmm.....Didnt see her...She is pretty good! :)

Night Night Buddy.....I am proud of you! My baby is growing up!!!

Eggs, Kites and Bugs...Oh my?

We have been pretty busy..Here are some pics showing what we have been up to....Yes these are Jake's eggs before his mean mommy broke them all :)

Took the boys to the park and flew kites while Jay was having a drill weekend....Jake cried the second his went into the air...He hated it.....thought he was going to lose his kite....Good times! The bugs are a project Ty had for school....Jake thinks he has to do everything his brother does so he made the green one....He also insisted on bringing it in to Mrs. Riley.....she said he did a great job and if he was in Kindergarden he would have gotten a A from her.....2 years till he starts school.....Yikes he may be bored like his brother!!

Slowing down on the blog...sorry! We had a great Easter and weekend. Jake never once asked about his eggs or where they went. Praise Jesus for even the small victories :) I have had a couple ups and downs the last week as far as my mood goes. One day optimistic and the next feeling sorry for myself so it has been hard to keep up with my thanks on the blog. Today is a new day though and a good one at that....even the wind and cold is not going to ruin my mood..LOL! I had walking group today which always lifts my spirits. I LOVE being around other Christian wives and mothers it is so encouraging to know you are not alone, isn't it? Speaking of that....please pray for us and deciding if we are going to keep Ty in public school....My heart is just so uneasy about it and I could really use one of those special moments where you know God is giving you a direction to go and a peace in your heart. We are not having any major problems with him yet....I just want to keep his little heart innocent and keep him as safe and happy as I can. The world isnt the same as it once was and kids are growing up WAY too fast. Because we dont have family or a church family around, I want to make sure that we give both boys a strong foundation to go into this crazy world. Anyways enough about that. Jay has drill this weekend..Yuck! But what I am thankful for was last weekend we got to spend with him and we had alot of fun together. We tried a new church...it was alright. We went to the base for haircuts. We kinda wondered aroud town for awhile and saw a park and decided to stop and walk around a little. 3 miles later and we were all beat but good times and good memories. We only had to bribe them in the last 1/2 mile with ice cream to finish :)
Ok so besides the weekend....I am thankful for Jay......even though there are days here when I feel really alone and sad....He is there and I am so thankful that we are in this together and I am NOT alone! He is always quick to give me a break or whatever I need and I would be lost without him!!! He is such a hard worker. I will never have to worry about us needing anything b/c he would do whatever it takes to take care of us! (Even if that means taking an extra job, working longer hours, whatever) I love that about him! He is calm and caring when we need him to be but strong and determined on giving us the best life possible. God gave me the husband I wanted but didnt deserve.

Mother of the Year Moment

So I spent all day sleeping...taking a bubble bath.....getting a pedicure....shopping....basically being selfish :)

I decided my kids needed a little attention so we colored our Easter eggs. It went well,minus the mess, until the end. Jake wanted a wrap thing around an egg....well the egg was too big but I kept cramming it in there until it smashed in my hand. (Insert meltdown from Jake) Mommy broke his egg!! Tears.....crumpled in the chair....Ok ...bed time boys! Mommy:"Jake what do you want to have good dreams about? Jake:"My eggs but not the one you broke!" (Insert really sad and broken hearted face) Mommy:"Alright angel, sorry mommy did that...goodnight!" So I went down stairs to clean up the mess and put the eggs away. Well while I was doing this I was also messing with my phone ....so egg tray in one hand...Words with Friends in the other....You know what happened right? Egg tray smashed to the bottom of the fridge.....Mommy:"Oh please God don't let it be...." Yep it was every single one of Jake's eggs!!! Not one survived....Ugh!!!

Can't wait till he asks to see his eggs this morning :)
