Happy Birthday Laney!

Sorry this is a little late, we have been so busy it is crazy! I think I say that all the time but really with t-ball starting, Easter, Laney's birthday and all the end of the school year stuff we have been going! I wanted to share Laney's 2nd birthday pictures. She had a great birthday! We did a monkey girl theme because well she loves monkey and she is a monkey! Wonderful friends and family came to celebrate and she had a blast. We are so thankful for our precious sweet miracle Laney. You have brightened our lives more than we can describe! We love you Laney!

First Lost Tooth, First Broken Bone....Fun times!

So this week has been interesting. I get a call from school saying Parker fell off the monkey bars and they don't think his wrist is broken but he would not stop crying and saying it hurt if I would come up there and look at it and see if I could get him to be himself again. I get there and Mrs. Field says this just is not like him, I don't think it is broken but wanted to call you. I look at his wrist, not bruised or swollen. He even moves it ok up and down and wiggles his fingers but says it hurts bad when he twists it and is in obvious pain. So I asked him if he wanted to go take a picture of his bone to see if it was broken and he said yes. He must hurt wanting to go to the dr. We go in and I tell the nurse when we pass by her why we are there and she takes him back to get x-rayed. Our NP walked in and said I hate to tell ya this but it is broken! I couldn't believe it! I thought broken bones made you all swollen and black/blue! We were so happy to hear that the Ortho from a nearby town that is really good was going to be in the clinic that afternoon. So we went home and came back later that afternoon. He looked at the x-ray and in 2 seconds said yes it is broken! Called a buckle fracture. He is in a short cast so he can still do about anything. We thought this was the end of t-ball but NOPE! Parker is such an athlete he can still hit the ball great and just uses his cast as a glove! LOL!! No stopping him! Bathtime is a pain but we are managing! Also tonight he lost his first tooth! This week is full of firsts!

Parker lost his first tooth...pulled it himself! 4/2/2010!


It was tiny..can hardly see it!

Zoo Trip!

Last week during Spring Break, I had a drs appointment and decided to meet Millie and her 2 kids and take them to the zoo. Laney had never been and she loved it. She loves the monkeys and will tell ya what they say. She also liked the lions and tigers and roars! Then she just said we saw animals. Millie and I both have 2 kids pretty much the same age and it works out that the 2 boys are 7 months or so apart and the 2 girls are 4 months or so apart! Now she just needs to work on that 3rd so this new baby will have a friend too...LOL...ha ha Millie!

Parker cracks me up with his posing.

They were giving each other a hug!

All 4 cute little kids. Laney and Elizabeth were banging their feet and thinking it was fun!

Aww...now that is sweet!

All 4 sweet children and I use the term sweet very loosely with my 2 at least! Ha ha!

The boys being so helpful with their sisters...yeah...and thinking how fast can we push them until our mommas chase us down!

Laney out looking at her favorite thing...the monkeys!

Taking a lunch break and reading a book.

Laney loves the monkeys...loves them.

Connor and Parker up close to the monkey!

Parker being his Silly self. I told them they looked like a couple posing...lol!

Ok, Momma ready to see the animals!

Diva!

Tonight she had to wear her Princess PJs and insisted on wearing these shoes to bed...Do you see? Yes, she is a little mess and turning into such the Diva! Truly a girl for sure!

To Grandmother's House We Go!

This past Friday night, Jason suggested Parker call his Mimi. Well it ended with Parker going to go spend the night with her. When she got there Parker had his bag packed. It was so funny, he packed his ENTIRE underwear and sock drawer along with a few clothes. Laney of course wanted to go to "Mimi's House" as she says so Parker packed her a bag and they both went! They had a great time and Mom and Dad enjoyed a nice quiet night and Saturday morning! We are so lucky to have our Mimi live so close! Wonder if she ever will take all 3 kids? LOL!!

Our Precious New Baby

We had our routine 20 week ultrasound and the baby looked perfect! We have decided to keep it a delivery surprise so we don't know boy or girl (feel free to leave a comment guess though)! Everything measured just how it should and baby looked great! I do have to go back for another u/s to make sure the placenta moves up. Right now it is low or placenta previa but from experience with Parker (had the same thing at his 20 week ultrasound) I know that more than likely it will move right on up and be just fine in time for a normal delivery. I so hope so! Here is a picture of our new munchkin. Sorry it is not the greatest..picture of a picture. I am not sure how to work our scanner!

Protect me Brother!

One day Laney got mad at me because I wouldn't let her play in our bathroom turning the water on and off and she fussed at me by gritting her teeth..stomping then ran off crying. By the way the gritting her teeth when she is mad so came from my Dad. I swear he must be smiling up there in heaven that he gave his granddaughter that to get back at me a little for being so stubborn when I was little! Anyway, after she fussed at me, she grabbed her blanket and climbed up into her "bubba's" lap and put her head down on his chest. It was like she wanted him to protect her from mean ole momma! It was the sweetest thing! They love each other so much!
