I just can't stop!

Getting so BIG!

I am avoiding cleaning my house...just thought I would put a couple more pictures of the boys on my blog. It has finally gotten cold enough to wear some of their long sleeve shirts and sweatshirts that I had gotten on clearance last spring. Of course, LOVE them in their matching stuff!

Happy Friday

Our first Family Zoo Day!

Troy took Thursday off so that we could go to the Zoo! We have been planning on going once Troy finished his exam in November. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time looking at the animals and just hanging out as a family!

I just love this picture!! My little Derek...poor little guy decided to have a blow out diaper on the way to the zoo and I did not pack any extra jeans. So for his first Zoo experience he wore a onesie over a long sleeved shirt and his blanket. At least he had his monkey ear hat!!

Dylan walked/ran the ENTIRE trip. He did not ride in the stroller at all. This is a picture of him showing us how he can walk backwards :)

FLAMINGOS!!

Happy 6 month Birthday Derek!

Derek turned 6 months old on Sunday. WOW, how time has flown by. I just can't believe how quickly he is growing. He weighed 17.8 pounds which put him in the 50% for weight. He was also in the 50% for height. He has really started showing us his personality. He LOVES to laugh and play with toys. He enjoys spending time in is exersaucer and is SO patient with all of the "love" that Dylan gives him. He is such a good little boy. Troy and I don't know how we got another easy baby. He loves to play patty cake, is sitting up on his own, and has successfully rolled over 1 time :)

(As far as the rolling over is concerned, there is a lot to roll, so he will do it when he is ready.)

Troy and I just love him so much!!!!

Alphabet Poop

These pictures were taken last Thursday. Not for anything other than some updated bathtub pics. I never thought they would go GREAT to help describe our evening. Those that read my blog (all 5 of you... :) know 2 things about me. I really don't like to write a lot, just like to post pictures of the boys, and that I think potty humor is kind of funny. Well, I guess that is one reason the Lord gave me boys. So here is a little insight to our evening....

We got back from Oklahoma around 6:30. PERFECT!! I can get the boys fed, ready for bed and Troy and I can watch the Cowboy game. After dinner, I am telling Dylan that it is time to take a bath. As I am getting him down from the table I notice that he is doing a face that tells me he might be doing some "pushing". I then say,"Do you need to go Poop? If so, let's go sit on the Potty." He says no, I check his diaper and sure enough, no Poop. I am rushing around, put the Elmo bubbles in the tub and stick him in. As Dylan is bathing, I am getting my coupons organized and my evening plans mapped out. I walk into the bathroom several times and Dylan keeps telling me, " No poopo in the potty" I say, no, but we need to be working on. He tells me like 3 times. Great, I still am organizing coupons. Then, Dylan starts "cleaning" the bathroom tiles. I walk in and he says, " Momma, I cleaning." I think it is so cute so I go and tell Troy that Dylan is helping Mommy clean the bathtub. After the 3rd time he tells me he is cleaning, I look down in the tub and think , "Hmmm, that looks a little funny." In my defense, Derek was screaming and I was trying to get him fed, the Cowboys have kicked off, and I was trying to do too many things at once. So, yes, for the first time ever, Dylan decided to go to the bathroom in the tub, sat in it for a good while because I couldn't tell in the midst of all of the Elmo bubbles and alphabet letters. I run to go start the guest bathroom tub and see Troy CRINGING in the living room as if he is silently praying that I will not ask for help cleaning the poop up. I grab Dylan out of the tub to put him in the guest tub only to find out that there are a TON of ants crawling out of the faucet of that tub. So, I am screaming to Troy to come get the ants, Derek is screaming, and Dylan is soaking wet with Poop water.

I will spare you the clean up details. In the end, Troy got the ants, I cleaned the tub and SCRUBBED Dylan and the COWBOYS WON!!!!! It was a great night.
