So, it's been a while!  Our computer is messed up and we have to hold one side of the monitor in order to get it to work.  But my husband being the smart man he is, rigged us u a way make it work without holding it, so now I can type.  It's been so long that I don't even remember what I needed to blog about.  Oh, well maybe later.

Happy Birthday Memphis!

Today, is the big day.  Memphis turns 3!  I can't believe 3years have come and gone.   I love that little guy.  He has brought so much joy into our lives.  Brandon and I are convinced that he is the perfect child.  This time 3 years ago I was lying in labor at Fort Sanders.  Actually, I think I was just told it was time to push, and I started pushing at 10:15. 

I remember that day, like it was yesterday.  I was so excited I couldn't wait.  Although, I was really hoping that I would wait until Monday, Nov. 19, which was my due date, but also my doctor would be back in the office.  Go figure, Memphis couldn't wait until the doctor got back to make his appearance.  So, thank you Memphis I had some complete stranger deliver. 

My water broke.  I was so excited that I got to experience that because not very many women do.  My water broke around 12:15.   He was born on Nov. 16, 2007 at 11:43 pm. 

I'd love to share the great details but Brandon's being grouchy and I have to get the kids out of the living room.

Before I post of my reminiscing I'm gonna type about the latest happenings.  Bobo has pooped again in the potty again!  I'm so proud of him.  It's so cute, he turns back to look at it and waves and tells it good bye.  If he doesn't have pants on he will pull his diaper off and poop in the floor.  I had jokingly said I would probably get Bobo potty trained before Memphis, but I believe reality is sitting in and I really get him trained before Memphis. 

Memphis keeps telling me that he needs to be nicer and talk nicer to Bobo.  He likes to race through the house and say "on your hop, set, go" for "on your mark, get set, go."  He likes to rub my head and tell me he is petting me.  He made him a puppy dog at Build A Bear and named it puppy, but yesterday he was calling it Carter.  He is so excited about his birthday.  That's all he talks about.  He keeps telling me that the dog is going to ruin his birthday.  He really wants the dance star Mickey Mouse for his birthday.  He shows me all of Mickeys dance moves.  It's cute!  He picked up the phrase, "knocked up" on 16 and Pregnant last week and told me I needed to knock daddy up.  Daddy thought it was hilarious.  He picks up on everything he hears.  His two new favorite words are disgusting gross.  His two newest phrases are "what the crap" and "what the heck."  Funny enough, he uses them at the right time.  I love that little guy.

Ok, on to my reminiscing, th is day 3 years ago, I realized I couldn't bend over!  It
was sad.  I was so big.

Ahhhh......Sweet November

Sweet, sweet November!  You hold a very special place in my heart.  In 15 days, my Memphis will be 3.  3!  Really, did I just type that?!  It seems like just yesterday, I was panicking that I was going to have you at anytime, but in the same sense, it seems like you have been around forever. 

I was never really a fan of November.  Never liked the cold,dreary weather that came with November.  Then in November 2006, I thought for sure that I would always hate November.  I had a miscarriage.  It was so tragic.  I remember on Thanksgiving of that year that I would never enjoy another Thanksgiving.  I think I cried all day long.  That Thanksgiving, I never dreamed that I would be hold a 5 day old the following year.  Wow, I was.  God is so great. 

Each November I think of how I felt each and everyday leading up to my due date.  I never knew being pregnant could bring so emotions.  So, I hope to reminise through my blog of November 2007!

This is me at my last shower for Memphis on Nov. 2, 2007.  

Five on Friday

1.  I just had to threaten the ole, "I'm gonna wash your mouth out with soap" deal on Memphis!  I just heard him say to Bobo, "I hate you."  I don't know where he heard it from, but I did however ask him.  His reply, "Bobo, taught me to say that." 

2.  Bobo has learned where his mouth, ears, eyes and nose are at.  FINALLY!!!

3.  One day, while being very aggravated, I told Brandon that I needed a break from these kids.  Memphis looks at me with this sad puppy dog look and says, "don't break, Memmem, I'm the only one you've got."  It was so sad and cute.  It made my horrible day much better.  

4.  They had their first trip to Build A Bear workshop today, together!  Memphis got a puppy dog, and Bobo got a teddy bear.

5.  Memphis has suddenly became a lover of animals.  Is he my kid?  He loves kitty kitty's and ask on a daily basis if he can have one to live at his house.  It's so sweet seeing him love animals.  

I Never Knew......

.........that poop could make me so proud!  Haha!!!  But it has.  Today, my sweet little 19 month old Bobo, pooped in the potty!  It was magical.  He had taken his diaper off about 5-10 minutes before he surprised me.  I was in the bathroom brushing my teeth, and he came in there squatted down in front of the toilet and began "straining."  I knew what he was about to do.  So, I ask him if he needed to poop.  He says, "uh-huh."  I put him on the big potty and he pooped!!!!  I may have him potty trained before I do Memphis.  I just had to document this exciting day of my life.

Before, I forget.


Memphis, as we were pulling to Food Lion, says "mommy, I need to be nicer to Bobo."  Honey, I couldn't have said it better myself!

Terrific Thursday, which should be Wonderful Wednesday!

So, I didn't get to blog yesterday (Wednesday).  I am going to blog today (Thursday) all about yesterday!

First, the boys and I fought about getting ready, because Memphis doesn't want to get ready and leave this house.  We went to bank, where they racked up!  They each got a sticker, Halloween bag, and 2 silly bandz! They were thrilled.

Second stop, the mall!  They first rode the carousal ride near the food court, and then we shimmied up to the good ole Chick Fil A!  YUM!!!  We then walked around the mall and went into a few stores.  (why is when you have money you don't find anything, but boy if you're broke you find all sorts of stuff?)  I did find Memphis two shirts at Crazy8 and I just hope one of them fits on his big noggin!  Then we went back to the carousal for 3 more rides.  Upon leaving the mall we passed a train.  A motorized train that you could ride in around the mall!  It was wonderful seeing the expression on Memphis's little face when he saw that train.  We of course had to ride it.  He was so thrilled getting to ride that train around the mall.  I just love doing things for my kids to see their precious little faces get so excited. 

Although, I didn't get anything I wanted to do accomplished, but it was fun day getting to see how much my boys enjoyed the carousal ride and train ride. 

I love you boys!

Terribly Minded Tuesday

My mind to terrible!  I had no idea before deciding that I wanted children, that my mind would be so out of whack!  The past two months I have done the following:
-dried a load of laundry without ever starting the dryer
-washed a load of laundry minus the clothes
-wore the same dress to church, on two different occasions, to get 2 miles down the road to find out I had it on backwards!
-put the lunch meats in the freezer
-put pinto beans in the crock pot, turned the crock pot on low, and realized 5 hours later I had never plugged the crock pot up.
-I was suppose to meet my mother in law at the Lake City exit last week to give her Bobo while I took Memphis to the dr., and pasted the exit up.

I have decided that I either need a really long much needed vacation or I need to get caught up on my sleep that Bobo has deprived me of for the past 19 months!  Either way you look at it I need a break. 

As for my children, the don't mind at all!

Bobo does the same things day in and day out.  He plays in the toilet, gets in trouble, he plays in the garbage, gets in trouble, and tries his hardest at trying to accomplish knocking over the television. 

Memphis will politely tell me he doesn't want to mind.  At least he comes by it honest.

Sunday, at church, Memphis was standing facing the choir with his fingers in his ears, so he wouldn't have to listen to them.  Then while my dad was preaching he was trying to walk behind him.  It's getting harder and harder to take both of them to church all by myself. 

All in all, my mind lose is worth all the love that I have for my children.  I know one day, my children will be well behaved citizens, and the grocery ladies at Food City, will soon forget all the boxed of Capri Suns that Bobo has busted!  :)

Moving Monday

No, we're not moving, but I thought I would title my post with the day of the week.  The only thing moving was watching Memphis open his birthday present he got from my dad yesterday.  It almost moved me to tears!  (ahhh, what the heck, it did moisten my eyes!)  He has been begging for some Slingshot shoes made by Stride Rite.  My dad ordered them for his birthday, which is about 3 weeks away, and they came in over the weekend.  My dad being impatient went ahead and gave them to Memphis.  It was truly a "kodak moment!"  Memphis's little face just lit up when my dad handed him the box.  Memphis immediately knew what was inside the box, he recognized the writing on it and started screaming, "my slingshots, my slingshots!"  He throw the lid off the box and then was ripping the paper inside the box up to get to those shoes as fast as he possibly could.  He got the shoes out and started screaming thank you poppop!  He gave my dad a big hug and kiss and put his shoes on.  He even fell asleep with them on.  It was the sweetest little thing.  It also made me realize how big  he is getting.  He's getting so smart and it's so hard to believe that he is going to be 3 in just a few weeks!  Wow!  Time really does fly when you're having fun!!!!  I love you, Memphis Carter-to the moon and back.

Firsts

There is always a first time for everything!  I would like to express my sincere thankfullness to my little Bobo!   Although, he is my second he has given me lots of "first".  When I first found out that I was expecting again, I thought, "no biggie, I can totally handle this!"  Ummmmm.............NOT!  Now that he has been around for 19 months, I have experienced lots of things that I never would have imagined.
(a little compiled list of my "first")
-He fell out of a buggy, not once but twice.  In a months time.
-He tore the hide off of his finger at WalMart in the check out line.
-He got in the bathtub and got a razor and cut the tip of his finger, and it bleed for an hour. (this happen a week after the WalMart accident happened.)
-He feel out the bed while sleeping.
-He ate some rat poisoning.  Therefore, my "first" phone call to the poison control center.
-He officially welcomed me into parenthood, by pooping in the bathtub!!!!!  I was amazed at this first.  In fact, so amazed that I decided to write this blog.  So that in 60 years from now, and he is debating on putting me a nursing home he will have to to remind him of what all he has put me throw.  Don't forget he's only been around for 19 months!

But no matter what little Bobo, I love you and I thank God for choosing me to me your mother.  You really make this household an exciting place to be!

Hot Diggity Dog!!!! Blogger just let me upload more than one picture!!!!  I'm totally stoked!!!!



Ahhhhh........I don't even know where to begin.  I am really slacking on this whole blogging business.  Well, for starters, Memphis is sick.  He told me today to call Nannie and Poppop and tell them he didn't feel bad.  He ask for medi for his medicine.  He calls his covers, cuddies.  Popcorn is popcuddy.  He puts a dy on every thing.  Bobo has had 4 ears of corn today!  I should probably go stock up on diapers.  Memphis wants to be a big banana for Halloween!  Don't know where that has came from.  Bobo is singing now.  He sings Spongebob Squarepants!  It's totally adorable.   We are working on Memphis' manners.  He's really good at saying excuse me when he burps!  We are trying to teach him to say please, when he wants something.  The other morning he woke up in a really bad mood, and was screaming at me to get him a drink.  I said, "I'm not getting you anything to drink until you use your manners."  His reply, "I'm not saying PLEASE!"  I started laughing and went and got his milk.

I'm so excited that after 19 months, Memphis has finally learned that we have to hold hands when walking from the car to the grocery store!  YAY!!!!  I'm so happy now that I don't have to chase him around the parking lots now.

Every morning Memphis has a cup of chocolate milk and Bobo has a pickle.  They really are like day and night! But I love them with all of my heart.

It's been a while!

I hadn't forgot about blogging, maybe just what I am going to blog about!  First of all, we had our computer to get another virus.  Then I have just been so busy that I forget to get on here and type out my favorite memories!!!  Memphis is going to be 3 in 36 days!!! WOW!  Were does the time go?  He talks about it all the time, and I can't wait til it gets here. (did I just say that?!)  I don't want to see him another year older, but this is the first year that he has gotten excited about his bday.  He has been talking about it for 3 months.  Last month Memphis told me that I needed to take him to the doc doc to have his baby in his belly, and after he had that baby I needed to take him to Chuck E. Cheese!  I told him if he could deliver a baby and then be able to go to Chuck E. Cheese, then he was a real trooper!!!  He finally got to go to Chuck E Cheese, and he loved it!  I loved it too.  He was so excited to get to go he couldn't hardly wait for the car to get stopped.  Well, I am running out of memory!

MEMPHIS

Ok, so I just blogged, but it was all about Bo, and it only makes sense to blog all about Memphis! 

Memphis, is just beyond what I could have ever expected!  He's almost three.  He talks up a storm.  He loves to sing and rap!  Who would have thought my little blonde headed blue eyed angle would be a rapper!  Might I say he adorable when he raps because he hold his hand up to his mouth using it like a microphone.

He loves is Aunt Katie and Uncle Jason and his Gogo (Connor).  Sometimes he often gets confused and calls Uncle Jason, Aunt Jason!  It cracks me up.  He enjoys giving Aunt Katie a hard time.  He is constantly fussing at her.  He just recently started talking about how he is going to grow big like Gogo.  It breaks my heart that he wants to be that size already.

He gets so excited when we see a school bus.  He tells me he wants to go to school, that he isn't a baby anymore!  News flash Memphis: YOU GOTTA START USING THE POTTY!!!!!!

He's determined to sleep with his daddy and me until he's 21! 

If he doesn't want you to be here at our house, he has no problems with telling you to leave.  Such good manners!  He's a home body.

He loves going to Food City.  If we pass by it and don't stop, he cries.  In fact he know where all of the grocery stores are.  His all time favorite store is Tardy (Target).  He loves getting popcorn and a drink from there.

He has a bean bag and that is where all of his naps happen at.  He loves that thing!  It's probably the best investment I have ever bought. 

He wants to pick out his own clothes to wear.  He calls his shoes his feet.  So when he wants them off he says, "mommy, you take my feet off."  Cracks me up.

He's so sweet, but he does love to fight with his brother.  It saddens me.  I hope that he calms down.  I know all siblings fight.  It's just part of nature to fight with your brother/sister, but my dear, he's only 2 and I am terrified he's going to hurt Bo.

BOBO

Before I totally forget.  I wanted to post about some of Bobo's favorite things.  He loves shoes!  Any size, color, or anyone's.  He just loves them.  Memphis will be playing with trains, cars, balls, or just whatever he has the hankering for and Bobo will be running around with someones shoes trying his best to put them on.  It's so funny.  For instance the other day they wanted to take toys out to their new swingset; I look Memphis has trains, and Bobo is carrying out his dads shoes.

He loves cold wa-wa (water).  He is always running to the fridge screaming cold wa-wa, cold wa-wa.  He isn't much of a milk drinker.  He pretty much hates Juicey Juice.  He does however, enjoy a good cold soda.  But we no longer buy soft drinks, so wa-wa it is!  (at least he's creating healthy habits now.)

His bebe.  He loves to hold his bebe (glowworm) and sleep with it.  Before bedtime he starts screaming my bebe, my bebe.  I have always thought a baby with a blankie or doll is adorable.  But the love he has for his glowworm just steals my heart!

He loves to eat.  Don't let his size fool you.  This boy will eat his plate and whatever his brother hasn't eaten.  Earlier, I was blogstalking this photographer who has a newborn.  She had posted a video of her baby making this ticking noise.  I was in aww that she had captured something that she thought was so sweet of her baby.  I look at my baby to see what kind of trick he is preforming and he was licking ranch dip off of a plate.  Once, he had licked all the dip off he hands me the plate, and says, "clean plate, momma."  Oh, the joys of raising a Bobo!!!!

He also has a new word.  "Boss"!  I have taught him to point at himself and say Boss.  Because we all know that he calls all the shots around here.

I must finish with my new favorite picture of him.  Nothing spectacular about it, but he is smiling and I hardly have any pictures of him with a smile on his face! 

Ok.  I honestly have nothing important to discuss, but I also have no one to talk to, so I have to get this out some way.  Well, I do have a 2 year old and 17 month old to talk to, but they don't understand.  My cell phone is broken, my car is broken, both boys and Brandon are sick, I am babysitting Connor, and my dad is in the hospital!  Talk about being stressed out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I bet my blood pressure is through the roof!  I feel like I run around in life of stress.  It's always something going on around here.  I can't sleep of a night.  I have stomach problems because of all the stress.  I have been through more than anyone my age should ever have to go through.  Why?  I often wonder.  What have I done?  What have I not done?  Is there really a light at the end of the tunnel?  Is it making me stronger?  Is it making me weaker?  I know God will move, but I really need it sooner than later.

I have the FEVER!!!!!!  Yep, it must have been where Brandon dropped a board on my head yesterday while building the swingset, but I have severe baby fever!!!!  I just said "I have the fever" and he said "what fever" and I said, " the one you don't want" he replies with, "oh I want it but we are going to run out of bed."  So, now I'm thinking maybe the boys should move out of their parents bed.  Ahhhh.....what the heck, they should sleep with us till they are 18!!! I'm only kidding.  :)

Bobo almost knock the swingset over today with the power wheel jeep.  Needless to say, his driving privledges have been revoked. 

My oh my.....

Like I posted earlier in the week.......when it rains; it pours!  Well, to add to Bobo being sick, Memphis and Brandon has both caught it.  My car is still messed up, could possibly catch fire.  Memphis dropped my cell phone and messed it up.  It is actually broken.  I can't take pictures, get text messages, or see who I am calling or see who's call I have missed. Booooo.............:(  I actually didn't even sleep Thursday night because I was so upset.  I was crying all night.Well, enough about my sobby sucky life.

We began building the boys swingset today.  I had no idea that it would take two days to get one put together!  It's crazy how we went from putting cribs, strollers and carseats, and bassinets together; and here we are putting this big swingset up and it just makes me sad!  My boys are growing up.

Motherhood is truly a gift from God.  I try my best to savor every moment of it.  (and might i add i just got bit by Memphis.)  I know one day will come when I will miss it.  Earlier in the evening the boys were outside running around while daddy and I were putting up the slide and I just stopped to watch my boys enjoy being outside and running around.  They were so cute playing together. 

I just have to say Thank you God for blessing me with two handsome, healthy little boys.  Oh, how I love those little guys.

My handsome boys:)

When it rains; it pours!!

Well, both boys have a runny nose plus watery eyes and sneezing.  In fact, Memphis told me earlier today that I needed to call his doc doc.  My car battery is dead.  Can't get it charged no kind of way!  It just seems like everytime I turn around someone is upsetting me. 

Anyways, time to stop venting, because believe you me I could go on and on!!!!

Memphis says, "My mom is awesome, my dad is rad, my brother, is cool, and I am the bomb!"  He also said yesterday, when I was a baby daddy used to hold me and feed me candy, and I want a baby and daddy is going to hold it and let me feed it candy.  Cracked me up.  Because that came out of nowhere!!!  We were talking about if we ever had another baby what we would name it, and Brandon was telling Memphis that we would name it Kash, and Memphis says, "yeah, I want a Kash baby."  It was so cute. 

Bobo is just being Bobo.  Running around with either two different shoes on or one shoe on and one shoe off.  He's learning so much hear lately.

They will be getting their swingset on Saturday and we were explaing it to Memphis and he was telling us that
Bobo was going to jump from it.  Which is sadly probably going to happen because he is a wild man!

Just last week we had a birthday party for Memphis and his birthday isn't until November.  He is so excited about his birthday and talks about it all the time.  You can ask him how old he is and he says, "I two old."  He forgets to say years, so he is two old!  Adorable.

So, much has happened in just the last week that I haven't posted anything.  I am really hoping to remember it all.  Today the boys had their first real conversation.  It went like this, Memphis: "Bobo, throw me the ball."  Bobo, "ok."  It was so cute.  That was the first time they had both used words to one anther.  I loved it!  Bobo has such a  big vocabulary.  He is using and learning words everyday.  He thinks he has to have on shoes.  He wants them on, first thing of the morning when he wakes up and we don't take them off until he has fallen asleep of a night.  He has also stopped nursing; which was something that he decided to up and do on his own.  Memphis talks about wanting a baby all the time.  He told me today, that daddy doesn't want a baby, but I do  (I as in Memphis).  He said when you get me that baby, daddy is going to hold it while I feed it candy.  He also told me his daddy held him when he was a baby and feed him candy.  I have no idea as to where he has come up with this, but it is pretty cute. Sunday after church my car wouldn't start, and there were some of the other kids standing around it talking to Memphis.  Memphis looks at them, and in the saddest little voice, and says, "my mommys car is boken, and I need a hurcut."   They crack up at him, and then he says, "I really need a mohawk."  They began to laugh even harder, and so did I.  I have writers block and can't remember what all I was going to blog about.  Oh well, it will come back to me sooner or later and I will return to finish  it.

Because I haven't figured out how to post more than one photo to the same blog this photo belongs with my previous post.

Nope, not me

Only the mother of two toddlers could, get 2 miles down the road from their house, and realize that her dress was on backwards!!!! NO, NOT ME!!!!!  I could never do anything like that!  My mind is far to perfect to do something crazy like that. 

Isn't it amazing how before having children you plan and thing of all of these things that you are going to do once the child is here?  I know for myself I always thought, I will never become forgetful!!!  I will never do the wacky things my mother done.  Well, I have learned the hard way to never say never!  I do things all the time and thing, oh my that's something that my mother has done before. 

But no matter how crazy kids make us mothers, theres no better joy that they bring to us.  Being a mother is one of the best things in life!!!!

With that being said, I love my kids!!!!! :)

I feel so sad

when I look at Memphis.  :(  He's growing up, and I am just know realizing it.  He loves Phineas and Ferb from the Disney Channel.  He is constantly singing the theme song of the show.  He's  in the stage where he wants to pick out his clothes.  He even tells me what clothes to buy him.  It's so sad that my little man is growing up.  I remember being so excited when finding out that we were finally pregnant with him!  Oh, the "love at first sight!"  When I first laid eyes on him.  How could I ever forget that feeling?   just love thinking about the day he was born, and all that he has done since then!!!  Last night he was telling me what kind of birthday he wants.  Of course he wants a Thomas the Train cake.  I just love my little guys!

My New Driven Purpose.....

Which, it has been for a while now is to lose weight, but let me tell you I'm gonna have to because Memphis keeps running off from me in parking lots.  Do you know how hard it is to run in 98 degree weather with a heat index of 105?!!!!!  It's hard when you're a fat kid!!!! 

Memphis has entered the stage where he thinks he should wear clothes and takes his shoes off everytime he gets in the car!!!! It totally drives me bananas!!! 

Bobo is learning so many word!  Today he ran around with a passy in his mouth and with a little blankie wrapped around him.  Might I say, tooooooooooooooo cute!!!!!  Totally makes me want another one.

This afternoon I went to clean out the car!  EWWWW.......Kids are nasty!!!! There was a molded cheeto underneath Memphis carseat and about 6inches of syrup, from pop under Bo's seat.

Hey, Baby I'm A Rockstar!!!

Hey, baby I a rockstar!  Well, that's how Memphis says it, and that's all he's been sying for the, last hour or so.  He's so funny! 

Although, we (Brandon and I) have reached a new milestone in our short life of parenthood.  And I do believe it's called, "The Terrible Twos!"  OMG!!!!!!  I had no idea my sweet little Memphis could have ever acted the way he has been acting the past few weeks.  Talk about waking up on the wrong side of the bed.  He's so grouchy of the mornings I just want to send him back to bed.  Some days I can't even get him ready for us to go to the store.  He only wants to eat pizza rolls.  I can honestly say the way he has been behaving recently has been making Bobo look good!!!  Never thought I'd say that.  My leather is a must have with children.  I'm pretty sure they have ruined our seats in the car.  I looked yesterday and they both had poured out their drinks in the seat; plus their bags of chips. 

Bobo is learning so many words!  His favorite word right now is "car".  The other night I was going through some of my scrapbook stuff, and he found a picture of him and papaw Philip and said "papaw".  Then he said the same thing again when he saw on of him and papaw Wade.  H also says cheese when he sees  a camera. 

Memphis is struggling with the terrible 2's, and last week I took him to WalMart and when we got ou to the car he says."Mommy, I was behaved in WolMort!"  Brandon and I took him to go vote with us last week and after we left all he said was Scott Scott Kitts!  That's who he voted for.

Wow, Wednesday!

Let's see, it's been so long!!!!  Well, lets see....one week we didn't have a computer, we had a virus.  :(  But now we are back up and running.  :)  We took Memphis to Bryson City, NC to "A Day Out With Thomas".  It was fun just watching the excitment from his face.  Except, for when we first got there, and he say Thomas, he proceeds to tell his daddy, "I don't like trains anymore, take me home."  He loves going to Food Fidy, "Food City".  Yesterday, he was calling me Food Fidy head Mommy!  What a name!  Just last week Memphis was holding a picture of himself, and says "look at my pretty blue eyes mommy."  I say, "yes, they are gorgeous.  Where did you get those pretty blue eyes from?"  His answer, "WolMort" a.k.a WalMart. 

Bobo on the other hand, likes Spongebob.  He likes to sit on his daddy's stomach of a night right before bed and clap his hands with his daddy's and say, boom.  He really adorable.  He also sings teamwork, when you ask what's gonna work.

Well, so much for catching up on the blog.  My two darling babies are awake and fighting!  (like always)

Do you like salt?

Well, Bocefus does!!!!  Earlier today, Memphis poured all the salt from the salt shaker into the floor, Bo stepped in it, and then he sat down and licked it off his toes!!!!!  It was hilarious.  Just something I had to share.  Definately don't want to forget that.

i've been slacking....

Oops, I just hope I can remember everything that has went on.  First of all, Bo had his 15 month check up yesterday and gained 2lbs and 7oz!!!!  The most he has ever gain in a 3 month stretch.  He's still little, only in the 6% for his age.  He was 29 1/4 inches long, and that makes him in the bottom 9% for his height and age combo.  While at the dr. yesterday, Memphis was repeating everything that the dr. was telling me and was trying to tell the nurse how to weigh and measure Bo.  He kept telling everyone, "Bo go to docdoc."  It was so cute.  In the waiting area there were some Mexicans that came in and the mother began speaking Spanish to her little boy and Bo turns and looks at her and jabbers something back.  Then she says, "gracias" to her son and Bo tells her, "gracias" as plain as day!  He's getting more and more rotten. 

Bo may be small in size but he is very advanced mentally for his age.  At the pediatricians that we go to they do a development screening, and he is at the age of a 23 month old!!!!  :).   I'm very proud!!!


Bo still isn't sleeping through the night.  He actually fell out of the bed a few nights ago.  He did some crying but was ok.  He can count to 3!  Then after he counts to 3 he jumps.  He is a daredevil.  Always looking for something to get into.  But he's our little Bocefus and we wouldn't have him any other way.  He is saying so many words; pretty much anything he hears.  He loves to get books off the book shelf and pretend he is reading.  He will lay the book on the floor, then lay down on his belly and cross his little feet.  It's just adorable.  Speaking of feet, he tends to loose his shoes all the time!!!!

Memphis, oh Memphis!  My little scaredy cat.  He's terrified of everything, he will tell us, "that scared me."  He doesn't forget anything.  He's growing up so fast and learning so much.  He knows his colors, shapes, can count to 6, and knows  the letters E and O.  He's so funny.  He wants to go to Food Lion on a daily basis.  When we go out, he hollers, "wanna go home momma."  He has finally stopped calling me Amy.  He picked him out his own pair of pajamas at the store today, they were Mickey Mouse, and he also picked him out a shirt and Bo one.  His is orange and has a mustang on it, and Bo's is blue with a corvette on it.  He has a new pair of Lighting McQueen shoes and they light up and he thinks they are ever oh so cool!!!!  He knows that when we get to the end of the street, that if we turn right we are going to his nana and poppops house.  He absolutely loves to sing.  He is really big into trains right now.  He knows how to hit the play button on the dvd player.  He can't stand to see Bobo sleeping.  Everytime Bo goes to sleep and begins to nurse, he says, "put those boobies up." That makes me really lol!!!!!!

Oh, and today while at Old Navy, they have a mannequin, with a skirt on and Memphis raises the skirt up, rubbing her plastic woman "parts".  Yep, my face was a little red!!  Then, Bo finds him a mannequin and sits in the floor and rubs her legs, over, and over, and over again.

Memphis' newest saying, "you got me momma"!  It's hilarious.

Next time I'll try not to go so long without a post.

So true....

Yesterday, Memphis got his first "fat lip"!!!  He fell on the deck and busted his lip and hasn't stopped talking about it.  Bobo fell out of the shopping cart, again!!!! (that was today at Food Lion)  Sunday at church as my class went  up front to sing, my two boys decided that they would play the music for them, Memphis went straight for the drums, while Bo hit up the tamborene!! (probably spelled that wrong)  I thinks that's about it.  Oh, today while cooking supper that found the oreo's and sat down to eat some, and Memphis was screaming, "cheese us momma" for take our picture.  Wow, does that kid know me or what?!  He already knows when to capture those kodak moments!!!!

Memphis is on a roll!

He's a little cracker jack.  He has said so many funny things today I just hope that I can remember it all. 

1.  Today's my 25th bday, and all 3 of my men took me to Big Ed's to eat.  While we were eating Memphis looks at his daddy and says, "daddy, you're a grumpy old troll!"

2.  The boys were on there little rocking horses in the living room today and Memphis said, "yee haw, partner!"  That was hilarious.  I have no idea where he got that from.  But it sure cute.

3.  Memphis has a new song, "Momma Tried" from Merle Haggard.  Only his version is much cuter!  He actually says, "momma tied."  Now he says, "daddy peed, daddy peed" and "daddy tied, daddy tied."

4.  Now we have to ride with the windows down in the car!  With our hands hanging out the windows.  He LOVED it!!!!!

5.  I was trying to get him to sing me Happy Birthday, but he wouldn't but he was pretending to blow out candles.  At least he knows those 2 go together.

I thinks that's all. 

Bobo on the other hand, is a little handful!!  He is repeating everything that Memphis says.  We were driving down the road and they were both jabbering and laughing and had both hands up in the air!  It was so cute.  I love those little boys.  I thank God for giving me life and blessing me with this two precious boys, and my wonderful husband. 

A few things that I meant to write about last week but forgot.  So, here goes nothing..... Last Friday I had some change out fixing to roll it, and Memphis comes in there and begins to pick at it wanting to "help" so I ask him to leave it alone that I had to count it, and he says, "ou, tee, our, ive" for two, three, four, and five.  It was so cute.  Who said you had to start out at 1? 

Oh, and Memorial Day, little Bocefus swung a golf club around and busted the lcd screen on my d-slr camera.  It's going to take 2 weeks to get it fix and I feel completely lost without it.  :(

Today, the boys and I have been pretty busy.  We first went to the grocery store, Memphis and I went to the Corner Market to get some hotdogs, then we went to a bday party with aunt Katie, and then we went shopping with daddy.  So, I am pretty pooped.  We had a good time shopping with daddy, that's very rare.  We first went to Dick's Sporting Goods and the boys loved it.  Then we went to Chick Fil A to eat which is one of their favorite places to eat at, and to top off the good food they got to play on the placeland!  Well, actually Memphis played and Bo tried to wreck the place.  Go figure.  Then our last stop was, Target.  Who doesn't love to go to Target?  They each got a real tee ball, tee ball bat, and a tee to share.  Memphis got his first real glove.  They love to play tee ball.   We also found out that Bo is a lefty!  Could that explain why he's so mean?  Well, that's the excuse that I am going to use. 

Yesterday, we went shopping and then to mom and dads house.  Memphis got his first pair of undies.  Guess what?  He's afraid of them.  They had a blast at mom and dad's getting to throw rocks in the creek.

can you potty dance?????

well, no but we sure can sing the potty dance song.  Bocefus does anyways and its so cute.  He sings it for his daddy, but not for me.  brandon will say, "do the......" and bo comes in with "potty dance."  it is so stinkin cute how he says it too.  this morning brandon was leaving to go to work and bobo was half awake and says bye dadda, as brandon was walking out the door, the funny part about it, he never even looked up to see brandon.  so i have no idea how he knew he was leaving. 

mom and pops!

Memphis, oh boy, I hate to say it, but those terrible 2's have arrived.  It makes me sad, because before Sunday he was the perfect child.  Last night he sat on the potty with no shorts or diaper on!  That's a huge improvement for him.  Tommorrow, we are going to purchase our first pair of undies.  Sweet!!!!  This evening he staying with papaw Phil for a little while all by himself, no mamaw, aunt Kakie, or uncle J.  He played cat in the tree!  lol.  He has toy fire trucks and pulls the latters up on them and pretends he is getting cats out of trees.  It's so cute.

Oh, what a week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let's start with last Monday.  I had a dr. apt on that day, and Brandon kept both boys for me!  WOW!!! They all made it out alive.  At my dr. apt, my dr. was looking at photos of the boys, and was telling me how they look nothing alike.  So, I proceeded to tell him, that they don't act alike either!!  (because everyone know, Bo is a little wild.)  My dr.'s response to that, "God, doesn't give those out the first time around, because he knows if he does, you won't have any more."  Thanks Dr. Myers, for the advice 14 months later!!!! If only he would have warned my after having Memphis, I could have been a little prepared.

Tuesday, we go to West Town and Wolf Camera, had a coupon for a free photobook, so of course I couldn't pass it up.  Anywho, we were leaving Wolf and Memphis decided that it would be hilarious to run up the parkinglot and the hill almost onto Kingston Pike in 90 degree weather!!!!  Yes, Memphis I'm to fat to be running around in the hot sun.  Oh, did I forget to mention that I had Bobo on my hip and both boys were cracking up!  They thought it was so funny!!!!!  (I guess it is pretty funny to watch a fat person run.)

Wednesday and Thursday, I don't remember!!!!! Must have been to much fun.

Friday, we went to WalMart, and then I took the boys to McDonalds for some playtime.  They loved it.  Except for Memphis, he got all the way to the top of the slides and was to scared to come back down!   Then, us plus daddy, took the boys to the park.  That was horrible, Brandon failed to bring Memphis' fishing pole, so he cried the whole time we were there.  Bo just tries to run straight into the lake!!! I'm serious, he's wild, keeps me on my toes.  Once, we left the park we went to Bass Pro Shop.  Memphis loved the fish tank and waterfall.  It was the first time he wasn't afraid of it.  Normally, he's so terrified of it we can't even let him around it, but he almost had to drag him away from it he liked it so much.  Bo also liked it, but was to busy flirtting with this little Mexican girl.  She was about his age, she was cute as a button, and she had a big pink cowboy hate on. 

Saturday, my oh my, I took Memphis, Bocefus, and Uncle Connor to the movies to watch Shrek the Final Chapter, and Memphis lasted a whole five minutes, and I don't mean a whole 5 minutes into the movies, but a whole 5 minutes just into the theatre!!!!! We had to call for Daddy to come and get him.  Bless his heart he was shaking, crying, and sweating.  He had a toy in his hands and Brandon said when he got him home he had the paint chewed off of that toy.  I really wish that he would stop being so scared.  Bobo fell asleep and slept until the last 20 minutes of the movie, and when he got up he was roaring and ready to go!!!!!!  I had to chase him around the place. 

Sunday, we actually got to stay at church for the whole service.  The only bad thing that happened was, Memphis poked me in the eye with the bill of his hat and felt like it had blinded me.  I had to go to the eye dr. today.  He bruised my eye and scratched it.  The funniest part about the whole thing, it happened while we were in the choir singing. 

So my question is, have you ever been to church and come home with a bruised eye?  Have you ever had your toe ran over at WalMart at the first of the month?  I have!!! Only me.  I must say that I have the worse luck ever!!!!!!  In fact, if there wasn't bad luck I wouldn't have luck at all.  I must say that I have been so depressed I feel awful.  I feel like a big loser.  Sometimes, I just have to let my feelings out and this is my only outlet.  No one else will listen. 

On a brighter note, Memphis is talking like crazy and singing!!! I love it.  I can remember 3 years ago, thinking, what is he going to sound like, what is he going to like to do.  Now he is here and I know the answers to all of those questions!!!!!  Bo is talking or more like jabbering some foreign language!  He "repeats" everything that he hears.  He also hugs his brother, gives kisses, and says, Katie, Papaw, Connor, and Nana.  He tells everyone bye.  He really needs a haircut, but I just can't give up that baby look yet.

Drop Box

oh, my my my......right now we should probably be getting ready to leave church.  so you wonder why i'm writing a blog post?  well, because the boys were acting so terrible that we had to leave early.  pretty sure that bocefus was trying to knock a speaker over, and memphis on the other hand was running around and talking and trying to "father" bobo.  memphis is talking like crazy.  it's so much fun to listen to him talk.  we can have full conversations with him.  like earlier this morning he can running to me crying and saying bobo hit me, so i ask where at, of course so i could kiss the booboo and make it better, and the answer i got was "in that room."  hahaha.  i thought that was so cute.  he's a little dingy like his momma, but that's ok.  bo is repeating alot and it's so funny.  we went to a bday party yesterday and they had so much fun, but boy have they been wild ever since then!

Mothers Day

Yep, I'm a day late, but so what?!  I love mothers day, it is my 2nd favorite holiday.  Why, you may ask?  Well, because there was one day, I thought I would never be a mom, that I would never have two precious little children that I would do anything in the world for and at the same time I think they could actually send me to the crazy house!  But I wouldn't have it any other way.  I thank God for them everyday.  I know that they are truly blessings from God.  Without God I would have nothing or be nothing.  I have been a little "down" here lately, and not really for sure why but I know that I am secured in God's great big hand of love and mercy, and he is my everything and is going to take care of it all.  I had a good Mothers day, yesterday, Brandon made reservations for us to eat at my favorite restuarant, Naples.  We took the boys, they weren't that bad, but could have been better!  They also got me a card and some roses.  I love those little guys.  Also, before I forget, one day, week before last, Brandon had worked really late on a Friday, and when he got home, he gave Memphis a kiss, and then Bobo a kiss.  He then started to walk out of the living room and Memphis looked at him and says, "well, kiss mommy, too."  It was so cute.  At least, there is one thing that Memphis knows, and that is love.

1st time for everything

Friday night was the first time, that I ever got to clean up puke!  Memphis had a stomach bug and woke us up at 3 in the morning!  But I managed very well.  Earlier tonight I was talking to my mom and Bo was standing beside of me pretending to talk on the phone, so I gave her the phone to let him talk, and he says, "Hi."  It was so sweet.  Just the way it sounded.  Memphis is into wearing hats.  He thinks he has to wear one all the time.  He is also into drawing.  He draws on anything and anytime he gets a chance to.

well, right now at this very moment, Memphis is sitting in his high chair watching t.v. and Bocefus has the broom swinging it around everywhere.  That kid is just wild.  So, a few moments ago, Memphis let me paint his toe nails!  I'm sure his daddy will be so proud when gets home to see it.  Bo is trying his best to talk.  He jabbers some kind of foreign language all the time, really wish I knew what he was saying.  We were at mom and dad's last night and uncle Connor was doing his homework and gave Memphis a piece of paper to do his "homework" on.  Connor's assignment to Memphis was to write 3 Facts about himself.  Well, on a piece of paper, at the top of it, Connor misspelled, facts, and wrote, 3 Fags about yourself!  I thought it was so funny.  Memphis says things all the time.  I can't believe how good he talks.  He loves to draw, write, and color, well, the other day, I was doing laundry, they were being quiet, no I'm not stupid, I knew they were into something, so that's why I never bothered with leaving the laundry to see what it was they were into.  Well, in just a bit, here comes Bo, with red marker all over his face!  Memphis had art class all over the walls and doors in the house, and ran out of room on the walls and used his brothers face!  It was very hard to try to keep a straight face while discipling him.  I know they have done several other things since my last blog, but right now that's all I can thing of, so that will have to do!

Ok, so yesterday Memphis was full of it!  He did so many funny things.  I had ran some dish water and put a few dishes in the sink, and hadn't got to wash them yet, so Memphis took care of business for me.  He put what few dishes that were dirty in the deep fryer, yes it had oil in it.  Just thankful it wasn't on.  He was eating the soap bubbles and saying, those good bubbles!  Later on yesterday evening, I let them play outside for an hour before time to get baths.  At 8:01 I told him he was a minute past his curfew and of course he throw a fit because he didn't want to come inside.  He finally decided to come in and was screaming I want a bath.  So I stripped him down and told him I would be right back that I had to take care of some laundry for just a minute.  Well, I come back to the bathroom and he was a washcloth in the tub stopper, a washcloth for himself to use, and a tub full of cold water lying on his stomach kicking his arms and legs and telling me, I wim mommy i wimming!  So I warmed up the water for him and finished his bath!  After everyone was bathe I had to give Bo his medicine because he is sick and while giving him his tylenol Memphis was begging for some of that "hot".  Hot is what he calls tylenol!  He's so funny.  Poor Bo has a double ear infection and a sinus infection!  I hate when my baby boys get sick. 

So, I finally figured out how to add more than one pic at a time to my blog post, thanks to my very smart cousin, Crystal!  To bad I'm to lazy to get up and go get my card out of my camera!  Maybe later.  :)  So, let me see if I can remember every little thing that my wonderful children have done since my last post.  Well, I can start with tonight, Brandon and I took the boys to Calhouns on the River and Volunteer Landing.  Brandon and I ended up having to bring our food home with us.  What were we thinking trying to take the boys out to eat at a sit down restaurant.  After eating we walking down Volunteer Landing and Memphis loved it.  When we got back into town we went to Brandon's parents house and Memphis hit Bobo in the face with a ball bat and then moments later Memphis got scared of a bird that got in on the screened in porch and we had to leave.  He's rotten. 
You could say that yesterday was a not so good day for Bo.  My bestie Johna and I went shopping yesterday, and we were in Babies r us and Bo did a little flip outta the buggie.  It scared me to death!  I called his dr. and they told me the precautions to be looking for and he was a. ok.  I just thank God that he fell when he did, because we just had gotten over to the carpeted part of the store when he decided to do his acrobatic stunts.  Later that evening he ran into the fence outside and got a big scratch on his head.  We also went to WalMart last night to buy a birthday gift for Walker and to get a few groceries.  I had to get some milk and when I opened the milk cooler door it stunk, and I said, "shoo" and both boys covered their noses and was shaking their heads and saying shoo that stinks!  It was so cute.
Monday night Brandon went out to feed the dog.  As soon as he feeds him he comes in and washes his hands.  Well, that night he went to the kitchen to wash them.  I saw him coming back in the living room with a bowl and he sits it on the couch.  Here comes Memphis crawling thru the house and panting like a dog.  He gets to the couch and points for Brandon to put the bowl on the floor, and proceeds to eat his crackers that was in the bowl, like a dog!  And the Bocefus right brhind him doing the same thing.  These kids are nuts.  But I love em!

i want cheese!!!!

my how these little momma's boys are growing.  memphis will not let his brother sleep, so therefore bo stays in a bad mood.  memphis now says, it's my turn, that's mine!  i'm trying to teach him how to share and that he has to take turns, but it's not going to good.  he calls bread, cheese, i'm guessing because they are the same shape.  we went shopping on saturday and he say a mcdonalds and said , mommy, i want burbber, that's how he says burger.  so we get to mcdonalds, and i am in the drive thru and have already ordered and hollers and says, you get me cheese?  he has started kissing us and he will just kiss us continuously.  bobo even gives kisses, and memphis will say, kiss me bobo, kiss me. and it is so sweet.  bobo is a total handful.  he loves being outside, playing in the garbage and the toilet.  he's so tiny and cute, but boy, he's rotten.  i love him though.  he wants to get down in stores and run from me.  we took memphis fishing the other day and brandon showed bo the fish they caught and he was trying to kiss it!  he also gets down at the park and goes straight for the water! 

Crazy in LOVE........

with these 3 boys!

Well, Memphis finally got to go "catch that boat"!  He went Thursday and had a blast.  Daddy and Uncle Jay took him to Cove Lake and he caught 8 fish.  He wouldn't touch them, but had to tell them bye-bye, before they were thrown back in the water.  He is talking so much and it is so cute.  He sounds like a little hillbilly!  He says agg for egg, hur for hair, and instead of saying i want to eat, he says i want to ate!  I really wish I could spill the way that he says hand, it's so cute.  We went shopping yesterday, mostly to thrift stores, and he absolutely love it.  I ask him to help me find some shorts for him and he went to digging for shorts!  I let him and Bobo wear shorts for the first time this spring yesterday and they also had their Stephen Joseph backpacks on and Memphis kept telling Bobo you're cute Bobo.  Then he would tell me Bobo's so cute Mommy!  We just got finished dying eggs.  I can't wait till tomorrow to see him hunt for aggs :).  Bobo on the other hand is a handful.  But he does give kisses.  Memphis ask him kiss me Bobo, kiss me.  It's really cute.  Bo actually gives us all kisses.  We also went to the park and played this week.  They love to be outside.  What can I say they are all boys.  I love them very very much.

i wanna catch that boat....

I wanna catch that boat, datty, pease.  Memphis calls fish, boats and it's so cute.  He begged Brandon on Saturday to go catch that boat, and we took him to the park Saturday to fish and he got scared off by this big white goose.  It chased him around a tree, hishing at me.  Now he makes that sound and says, "that duck won't get me."  He's so stinking cute!!! I just love him.  Yesterday before church he saw me getting my clothes out of the closet and said, "we going to church mommy," I said, "yeah," he said, "no mommy, take me to my nannies house, pease."  "pease, mommy take me to nana's."  It was adorable.  So before we left I called to make sure they were going to be there (at home).  He's growing so fast.  He just talks and tells these big ole sentences and you can understand him as long as he doesn't get to talking to fast and then you can't understand him.  He also says hair with a very big southern accent.  It sounds like hur.  It's cute.  And when we are out and the wind is blowing he graps ahold of his hair like it's going to blow off!  Bobo has learned the word no, how to climb on the couch and give kisses.  It's so cute he makes his kisses "pop"! 

Tuesday was Bobo's 1st birthday!  It's so hard to believe that he has been around already for a year.  Saturday was his 1st bday party and might I say, he had a blast, as so did Memphis.  Poor little thing has had a stomach bug since Saturday.  On Tuesday, we took him out for pizza and ice cream.  We take the boys out on their birthdays for a little treat, and pizza being his favorite, we took him to Elidios, off of Callahan Drive, and then to Baskin Robbins for ice cream.  He didn't eat that good, seeing that he was sick and all, but Memphis enjoyed himself.  When we got in the car from leaving the restaurant we said, were going to get ice cream, and Memphis screamed, Ceam, Ceam...... until we got to Baskin Robbins.  Memphis just knows how to have a good time.

Wednesday, was Bobo's 12 month check up.  He's a little runt.  It was just the boys and I, so we first stopped at IHOP and ate.  When we pulled into the doctors office, Memphis ask, "Bobo docor, or Meme docor."  I thought that was so cute.  He knew where we were at and was happy that it wasn't him seeing the dr.  Bo weighs 18lbs. 3oz. and that makes him in the bottom 2%, he is 28 and 1/4in. long, which makes him in the bottom 7%.  His developmental skills is at 20months of age.   So he maybe little but he's full of smarts!!!  He was climbing up the steps on the side of the bed and looked at his dr. and said, "get down."  Hes' a rotten hand full! 

Yesterday,  he laid around all day and rested, and he seems to be doing some better.  I sneezed yesterday and he made the same noise as I did.  It was funny.  My dad bought Memphis a little truck that plays, "Funky Town" and Memphis was playing it yesterday and Bobo was trying to nurse and dance at the same time.  It was so cute.  Memphis and I was sitting on the couch and he leans over and puts his little head on mine, and says, "Mommy, your my girl."  Talk about melting my heart!!!!  I thought that was so sweet.  I never knew 3 years ago, that's when I was just finding out that I was expecting, that Memphis would be this wonderful.  It's so great knowing that I have taught him this love and he knows how to give it back.   Which, I know, that won't be the case when he becomes a teenager.

This morning, we were walking in the living room and he says Mommy, I love you!  He's a charmer!!!!


He maketh the barren woman to keep house, and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the Lord.  Psalm 113:9

It's been a while since i last blogged, so of course i have alot that i want to talk about, but i guess i have writers blog and will probably forget half of it.  Saturday was Bobo's 1st birthday party, he'll be 1 tomorrow.  My two boys had so much fun at the party.  It was nothing big, we had it at our house with a few friends and family.  They were both so dirty when they got finished playing.  Then poor Bobo got sick and was throwing up Saturday night and was sick all day Sunday.  He drunk some bubbles at his party and I believe thats what made him sick.  Last night Memphis put my sunglasses on, had $2.00 in one hand, and a half eaten biscuit in the other, and ask me for my car keys!!! HAHA.  He's so funny.  He has finally started playing with his powerwheel jeep that we bought him for Christmas.  Today, my mom met us at the grocery store to help me while I was in there, and she got in the car and Bobo looked at her and said, Nana!  It was so sweet.  Wednesday, he gets his 12month shots and I dread it. 

what a week

so, this week has been a little on the crazy side.  but, with God's grace i'm gonna make it through.  saturday the tranny went out in my car yesterday the timing chain went out in brandon's truck and in 2 weeks bobo will be 1!  he's way to little to be 1.  today katie and the boys and i went to knoxville to buy stuff for bo's party.  he's gonna have a mickey mouse birthday party, i really wanted to do finding nemo because he love the movie but party city didn't have any finding nemo party stuff, so we went the safe way with mickey.  today while asking memphis what was his name he said, meme.  close enough i suppose.  i think that's about all for this week.

oh, this week.....bobo has got a little grove.  he likes to dance.  today memphis cranked up some kid rock in the cd player, and i was cleaning the toilet and he came a running and was crying and trying to dance at the same time!  it was so cute.  memphis is so ready to potty train.  i'm not totally ready for it!  i want to have to stop buying diapers, but that's going to be one part of the baby taken away!  i'm not ready for him to be a big boy yet.  he goes to the changing table to have his diaper changed as soon as he's pee-peed.  well, saturday my car started messing up and today her tranny went out!  we have no cashola to pay for a new one or get a new car!  i have no clue as to what i'm gonna do!  also memphis enjoys having his clothes changed all the time.  i thought only little girls like ot have their clothes changed.

because i have no idea what i am doing, the previous 5-7 blogs were some pictures that i had taken of the boys.  we had some very pretty weather over the weekend and they were able to go and play, which they really enjoyed.  bobo loves being outside, he's fearless.  he was just rolling around in the mud, walking up to the dog, whatever was dangerous that he could find to get into.  bobo is 11months old today, hard to believe that he will be 1 next month.  he's so tiny!  he still fits in a 6-9month clothes.  i had ordered memphis 5 movies over the internet and we went to the post office today to pick them up.  he was such a big boy, he carried the package to car, because i told him it was for him.  we got to the car and i opened them up for him and the look on his face was priceless!  it was so adorable.  then we got home and daddy came out to the car to help us get in, he was so sweet showing them to brandon.  i got a little teary eyed watching him waiting for them to come on.  bobo has a new word, cheap date.  i guess he's heard it said so many times that he just thinks it's normal to say all the time.

today, i took the boys to mcdonald's to play in the playland.  memphis has a little slide outside and has been begging to go out and slide on it but it has been way to cold to go out, so yesterday i told him i'd take him to mcdonalds.  he had so much fun.  he picked this little girl up!  too funy!  bobo was running around and picking things up and sticking them in his mouth when i couldn't get to him in time, but when he saw me coming towards him he would begin to run from me.  so cute seeing his little legs move so fast.  then when we got home memphis played out in the little bit of snow that we had left.  he was throwing snow balls at brandon and i and feeding them to the dog.  later, on this evening i left them with their grandparents while i went and did some shopping.  i was by myself and able to think a little, of course, i was thinking of my boys.  i love them so much.  i never knew that you would love this much until becoming a parent.  i was thinking of a few months back, one sunday morning i was doing dishes and memphis was in the kitchen at the stove rolling one of his trains across the oven door and was saying, "i love my momma, i love my momma."  my heart swelled up with love and my eyes with tears.  i honestly believe those were the sweetest words that i have ever heard!  i cried forever after that, just knowing how much love and everything else that i had given to this precious little being for 2 years, and he just out of the blue says something like that, made me so proud.  just had  to share that.  gotta, say i'm one happy momma!'

shoo, it's been a while since i've been able to blog.  everyday, i just look at my boys and i am so thankful for the grace of God, that he's blessed me with these 2 little angels.  memphis is growing so fasst!  i just wish i could freeze time nad make him stay a little boy, but that's how we keep up the generations, is by letting our little ones grow. he's so rotten.  he's into reading.  he will just go get him a book and sit down and read.  of course we have no idea what he's saying, but it's cute.  bobo on the other hand is a handful. he is at least having something to do with brandon now.  he use to wouldn't even let brandon hold him.  the other night memphis gave me a big ole kiss and said, i wanna baby!  we told him he had one.  he's right now making brandon slap him on the butt!  everything has to fly, including him.  he notices babies when we go out or if he sees one on the tv.  i took them last week to have their pictures taken and he was terrified because the backdrops made a sound as they  were moved up and down.  they stayed at mom and dad's friday evening while brandon and i went out for  vday and my parents had to put a blanket over their heater because he was afraid of it.  he's such a scaredy cat.  but i still think it's cute.  he's on the verge of being potty trained and i dread it, sortta, because i know that is one less step that will be taking the baby outta him.  bobo is totally on the go!  people at church couldn't believe how good he could get around.  he's a handful. he has tore out every kleenex, book, and diaper that is in their room. oh, and memphis is growing so much, when we go out he recognizes stores, and he understand directions.  i want to post something that i wrote back at the first of the year, and was my inspiration at starting my blog:


Good bye 2009, hello 2010! So, this past decade you could say was the first real decade I have lived. Considering that the first full decade of my life I was only 5-14yrs. I have to say looking back and thinking of all that I have experienced these past 10 years has been crazy. Of course, I've had highs and lows. I'm not going to get into the lows because; really who wants to hear about debbbie downer? In the past ten years, I have graduated high school, and attend 2 years of college, no I didn't graduate, but I do plan to finish a degree within these next 10 years. God has brought 4 very special people inot my life. 1 of those 4 people, I never ever would have dreamed about in a trillion years, but God say fit that this person need to be in my family, so on Aug. 9, 2002, he gave me a baby brother. But he's here and I kinda like him:)! I couldn't image him not being in our lives. The other 3 people that God has placed in my life I always dreamed of as a little girl, but never imagined how awesome they could be. The first of those 3, is my husband Brandon, we were married on June 11, 2005. One of the happiest days of my life, and these past 10 years. In Oct. 2006, Brandon and I found out that we were expecting our first child. I was so excited! But God had other plans for that baby. On Nov. 9, 2006 I experienced a miscarriage, which was so tragic. I honestly thought that I would never have a baby, but God is still a miracle maker and answered I know many prayers that went up for me to have a baby. Just weeks after having a miscarriage, God comforted me by letting me know that, "one day I would be called Momma." On March 13, 2007, Brandon and I found out that we were expecting again. I was so HAPPY!! I never knew that wanting something so bad could make you so miserable, but hey isn't that what we do for love! I heard that tiny little miracle heartbeat on April 2, 2007:), every April 2, I place my hand on my baby's heart and thank the good Lord above for little miracle. On Nov. 16, 2007, my little 8lb. 40z. miracle was born! I was on cloud 9. I had no idea that you could be scared, happy, mad, and sad at the same time, but experience child birth and you will have all of those emotions rolled into one! Then God blessed me with another little miracle on March 23, 2009. He's my little tornado. These two boys are the greatest blessings to me. I loved the "first time ever" when they called me Momma! I do believe those where the sweetest words that I have ever heard. In these past 10 years I have lost 2 grandparents, but I know they are in a much better place. In the past 10 years, I almost lost my father. Feb. 18, 2008, my dad had triple bi-pass surgery, that was the scariest thing ever, not knowing if your dad was going to wake up from surgery or not. But God say fit that he had much bigger and better plans for my Dad, and let tell you having your dad stay intensive care for 3 weeks is no fun. I also had to have other surgeries after the bi-pass. The smaller, important things that happened these past 10 years, are I got my drivers license, my first car, my first cell phone, my own home, went to the beach for the first time ever! Those are just to name a few. But for my next 10 years, I pray for prosperity, for good health of my children, a great loving long lasting marriage, and 2 baby GIRLS!!!! I pray that God moves in each and everyone of my friends and family's lives, in ways things you know only God can do! I thank HIM daily for all the many blessings he has given me. GOD IS GOOD!!!!
