Well, Memphis is signed up for Pre-K. We went last week to the school to pick up some papers to sign him up. As we were leaving, Memphis told Bo, "you'll have to sit at home all by yourself." Bo said,"Meme, when you go to school I'm going to sit at home and cry like a big ole cry baby."

We went last Wednesday for registration, and Bo got in trouble. He got caught trying to climb up the bleachers, and whoever said something to him, he called them an old great grandma. I guess that was being better than being called dog poop.

Yesterday, Memphis had to go to school to meet his teacher and see his classroom. He likes it. Before we left he told me Bobo wasn't allowed to play with his Finn McMissile and NO ONE was to play his DSi.

Earlier, Memphis told me he wants a mint on his pillow before bed. LOL.

A few weeks ago Memphis was sick and I had to take him to the ER. They had to do some blood work, and after they did it they ask him if there was anything he wanted and he said, "yeah, I need some Spongebob stickers to give to Bobo." He is seriously the sweetest little boy!

Ok, now that I have posted all the little things they have said and I wanted to remember, it's time to get on to my true emotions.

I can't believe that just 5 short years ago Memphis was just in my belly. I had prayed for this little guy, and had endured so much sickness while carrying him. I was constantly praying that he'd make it here on this earth safe and sound. Here he is and going to be starting school. For the last 4 years and 9 months I have cared and nutured for him. I'm the only "caretaker" that he knows, and just in the blink of any eye I'm going to take him to a big school building, with other kids, (kids with different beliefs, backgrounds as him), someone I don't even know to watch this sweet precious gift that God has given me. I never knew that taking him to school would be so hard. I know the next time he gets out of school, he'll be an adult. I really wish that I could freeze time. I know somedays I feel like they're driving me crazy and I just need a break. But there will be a day when all of this is gone, and oh boy how I am going to miss it!:(
I'm pretty sure that I have cried every single day for the last week. Yesterday, while he was at school, walking down the hall way he reached and grabbed my hand and just held it. All day long yesterday after we got home. He wanted me to hold him, he was constntly hugging me and giving me kisses and telling me he love me. Those are a few things that he hasn't done in a while, and he won't do them for to much longer. I'm cherishing every moment that I can.

Best Friends!

Before he left on the day of registration.

Memphis's new school shoes!

Just a few pics

Ok. Yesterday, I tried to upload pics, but blogger wouldn't let me, so I'm going to try it again today.

One thing I forgot yesterday was on our way home from Memphis and there was a cop that got in behind us and the boys were moving around (they were buckled) and I told them the cop was behind us and if they didn't stop moving and fighting he would arrest them. Memphis said, "ahh, just stop and get him some donuts!" LOL!!!

If you look really close you can see Bo choking the dog! That's typical Bo!

Worse Blogger Around

So, I haven't blogged in a month and a half. What's new? Right?

Well, I have lots to blog about.

First, of all, Memphis is wanting a job. He wants this job because he needs money, because he wants an iPhone. Yes, my four year old wants an iPhone, and knows in order to anything like that you must work for it. His first plans was to work at the Dollar Tree, but then he decided he would just try to find some gold to sell for cash, and then his second idea was to collect cans. The gold thing he saw on a commercial, as for the cans, I have no idea where he got the inspiration for that one.

He had his first banquet and got a baseball trophy, and is ever so proud of it. Although, before he got it he said he was going to cash it in for gold.

School will be starting in a week and I'm not ready and can't believe that my baby will be old enough to go to school. He's excited. We started not to send him, but I think it will be best for both he and Cruz if he goes.

We thought we were expecting a few weeks back, and he said he wanted two babies. A baby boy and a baby girl. When they all fight the baby boy is on his team and the baby girl is on Cruz's team. Brandon told him and girl and Cruz would wipe the floor with him and his teammate. Although, we aren't expecting the boys were pretty bummed when the nurse told us my pregnancy test was negative. Cruz cried and cried because we wasn't having a baby. It broke my heart to see him so upset.

We went to Memphis over the weekend. We moved my sister-in-law. Memphis said they named the city Memphis after him because he got a baseball trophy. (he's really proud of that thing) On the way to Memphis, Cruz took his shoes and socks off in the truck, and then he said, "oh that feels good." We all cracked up at him. Then as we were rounding the corner at the apartment of where Katie's boyfriend lives Cruz as if he could see Derrick, and we said "yeah just about there" and he said "ahh, you have got to be kidding me."

Cruz loves to dance and sing like Austin Moon, off of Austin and Ally, that comes on the Disney Chanel. He's constantly break dancing and singing one of Austin's songs. It's so cute and sweet and funny. He also likes to be in the nude. Brandon gets on to him for always being naked, so earlier he was in the nude and ask me for some clothes. He found his pajama bottoms in the living room in a laundry basket and we went to his room to find a shirt. After putting on his shirt, he bowed, twisted his hand and said, "thank you madam." And that inspired this whole long random blogpost. I knew that was something that I wanted to remember. I will now stop rambling and share some images that I have taken in the past month and a half.

Oh, and I almost forgot. On the way home from Memphis, the boys were hugging each other and telling each other they loved them. Cruz said to Memphis, I love you best friend to the moon. So sweet! They melt my heart. I love those boys like crazy.

Now on to the pictures. :)

Ok. So maybe this post will be pictureless. Blogger won't let me upload any, but I will try my best to get back on here tomorrow and them.

I haven't blogged in a little over a month.
1. That isn't as long as I thought it had been.
2. I've noticed that almost all my post begin with...wow it's been so long, or something like that!

Well, Memphis has completed his first season of baseball, and he loved it. I quit my lovely job at Papa Johns. Brandon has a new idea that he's going to start selling fishing lures and making them. Cruz, is just Cruz. He's still wild.

I know I say this all the time and I do believe I have the most boring blog on the face of the earth, but I can think of all these wonderful things I'd like to share because I really want to remember them, and then I forget them. Oh well.

I will however blog what I feel like. I mean that is what a blog is for, right?

I feel (or have felt) like I am lost in this journey of life. I feel as if I'm not doing what I am created to do. It gets me down all the time. I want to lose weight. I want to be a sucessful photographer. A wonderful mother. A great wife. I want to have a spotless home for my family to live in. I want to have a 3rd kid. I want to be a great Sunday school teacher. I have to help young ladies just starting out as wives and new mommies. I want to have them awesome dinners cooked when my hubby gets home from work. I want awesome friends that we can have dinner parties and go get mani-pedis. I want. I want. I want... Don't get me wrong, in the last few months I have been blessed to have people let me photograph them, even some I didn't know, and they ask me and even paid me! My kids and husband are happy and healthy. I am so very thankful for the things that I do have in my life. I just can't thank God enough for all his blessings he has given me.

Oh and today, the hubs and I are celebrating 7 blissful years of marriage!

Oh my! I haven't post since Valentines Day. I have a little bit of mommy guilt. I missed posting about Cruz's 3rd birthday! (I'm secretly surprised that I've made it 3 years with him.(i kid, i kid)) I haven't blogged about Memphis playing baseball, or mom cutting part of her finger off, or signing Memphis up for preschool, or Brandon turning 30, or how he is now fishing in tournaments. I've been a wee bit busy.

We celebrated Brandon's 30th on the day of his birthday by taking him shopping to Bass Pro Shop and we took him out to eat at his favorite restaurant, Calhouns. It's crazy that he is 30. He was only 17 when we started dating!! I feel old!                       

The week after Brandon's 30th we partied hard at the Oak Ridge Bowling Alley for Bobo's 3rd birthday. Superhero style. He's into superheros, cars, and rainboots. He only wears rainboots. He is growing up so much. Hard to believe he's 3. I look at baby pictures and miss having a baby around all the time. He ask us all time to give him baby. He wants a baby to hold in his lap all the time.:) He's a sweetie. Don't get me wrong he's still rowdy, but he's a little sweetheart. He loves his big brother. He cries for Memphis if they aren't together.

Memphis is playing baseball and loving it. He loves going to church, and getting to dress up. He really likes wearing neckties. He has two now, and I'm sure we'll be ordering more. :) He will be going to preschool this fall, and I can't believe my baby will be old enough to be in school. It breaks my heart. He is so happy about getting to go. Of course daddy doesn't want him to go, and I don't really, but I really think it will be best for him. Memphis is right now sick, we have a doctors appointment in a couple of hours. Hopefully, he'll get to feeling better soon.

My mom got her finger shut up in the door and the top of it cut off this week. She will be having surgery tomorrow. So thankful nothing worse happened to her. She's my best friend. I love my mom, and she's always there for me. I hate this happened, but I'm so happy that nothing worse happened.

As for me I have stepped down from my general manager position at Papa Johns and I am hoping that I will have more time for my family. I have been doing lots of photography lately and loving it.

Valentines Day!

Valentines day......the holiday I dislike the most. Yes, I don't like Valentines day, whoever decided that we needed just a day to show people our love must have had a very unhappy relationship. Aren't we suppose to show our love to those special people every day?

Anywho, I had this wonderful idea for a Valentines gift/craft that I saw on Pinterest, and was so super excited that I would try and make it for Brandon to be from the boys. We just made it and it looks nothing like what I pinned, or what I had envisioned in my mind. :( Go figure, Bo would pitch a fit and mess it up, Memphis wouldn't let me paint his footprint on it, and the markers I had, were fine point. (No wonder those markers where so cheaply priced!)

Friday we went out to dinner for Jason's birthday. Memphis was so well behaved. He his growing up so fast. He was handing out the cake and eating so good. He can work an iphone better than what I can! He told me the other day to get out of the bedroom he needed to pray. That made me so proud. Then he told me he had to pray for a giant mustache. hahahahahaha! He is always singing, "happy birthday Jesus." I'm so glad that taking him to church he is learning something. Makes me happy! :) He also told me he wanted an iphone. He like to drop pennies in that bath water and pretend he is wishing for a giant mustache. I find that hilarious! The other day Brandon was talking about wanting to put something in the house but didn't have room for it, or know where it would even go, and Memphis says, 'put it with your guitars, baby'! He likes to say "baby" after alot of his sentences. He loves texting people! Of course no one can make heads or tails of what he has written, but it's the thought that counts. Yesterday, he was saying his alphabet, and he got to J and said Uncle J, and then K he said like aunt Katie. He's so darn cute and smart!

Bobo behaved pretty good at Jason's, considering it's Bobo. He was ready to leave about 5 minutes after we got there. He had a few minor meltdowns, but thankfully nothing major! He stole the show. He ate spaghetti and everyone loved watching him. He loves to dance and lip synch. It's so funny because he looks like he's chewing up taffy when he lip synch. He only wants to wear pajama bottoms, and some kind of character shirt. It's a fight to put anything else on him. As soon as he gets home he thinks he should strip down and put on his pajamas. Bobo's going to be turning 3 next month, and he is wanting a police car man birthday party. He fascinated with police cars. When he gets mad at us he tells us he's going to call the police on us! It's hilarious.

One day soon I will post pics. {just not today because i'm to lazy to get up and get the camera}.

Ahhh.... I'm sitting here, all alone. Brandon's at work, and the boys are at my mom and dads. I feel like I am having a really hard time trying to find the balance in life. I feel so much like the most important things in life; I'm not putting first. Maybe, my alone time today will help me thing about things that are going on.

Moving on....these boys have been so funny here lately. Memphis called Brandon a crybaby the other day, and Brandon ask him who was he calling a crybaby, and Memphis said, "your momma." I found that hilarious. Today my mom called and said she was coming to get the boys, and Memphis said, "well if she's going to be late I want you to just take me momma." Yes, it's true my mom is always late, and so said that my four year old already knows it. haha

Bobo is talking like crazy. He loves to act out all t.v. shows. He now loves to wear shoes. He's going to be three in just next month, and I can tell he is becoming more of a kid, than a baby. I miss him being a baby.

As for both of them, they're wanting a baby. Memphis says he wants a baby Cash, which means he wants a brother. One day he was in the floor crying because I told him that we couldn't have one. maybe one day.

Time Sure Does Fly.....

Ahhhh...... I have been intending to post for weeks now, and I just haven't gotten around to it. I stay so busy. I feel like life is just passing me by. We survived Christmas. The boys loved it, and got way more than they needed. Memphis was really into Christmas this year. I loved watching him open his gifts. He sang me "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" on video, and it made me cry. I love these two boys so much, it's insane. Bo is talking so good. He has a style of his own. He likes to wear pajama bottoms, no underwear, and rain boots. If I put a button down shirt on him he will act like it's choking him. It's hilarious. Brandon was questioning Memphis's Christmas knowledge, and it went a little like this:
Brandon: Memphis, who's birthday is on Christmas?
Memphis: Ummm....Billy's.
Brandon: No, it's Jesus's. Where does Jesus live?
Memphis: At the church house.
Kids.....they're so funny.
The other day it was snowing, and Memphis looked out the window, and said, "mommy, who prayed for it to snow?" He's so sweet. He is a daddy's boy. Bo's a momma's boy. They talk about having a baby all the time.

My goal this year of 2012.....is to post more than 1 most a month:).

Love these two to the moon and back!
