Bath Tub Boo Boo

Tonight Tyler decided to make the bath his own personal slip n' slide. Let's just say it didn't end well! He ended up hitting his head so hard that the corner of his eye split open. There was blood EVERYWHERE! The bath water actually turned pink. Hailey and I cried about it more than Tyler did. Hailey kept telling me, "We need daddy right now, we just don't know what to do"

and she kept saying over and over again as she was sobbing, "oh my poor brother!" Tyler is a wild child and I would like to say that he will never do something like this again but I know that would just be wishful thinking! Chicks dig scars right?

St. Patrick's Day

For St. Patty's Day we made cupcakes and Jello shamrocks at my mom's house. The kids had a great time. I think they liked the tasting more than the making though!

The Lucky Leprechaun filled the kid's shoes with all sorts of yummy green treats!

So cute!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

19 months

Today Tyler is 19 months old and I have been really bad about keeping up with writing about his progress! I can blame it on him keeping me REALLY busy, right? I have said it a MILLION times but.... Why does it have to go so fast? He is turning into a REAL character. We love him so much!

Here are some new things he is doing this month....

says "cheeeeeeee" every time I get the camera out to take his picture.
when we ask him to show us his muscles he flexes really hard with his arms in the air.
he can climb just about anything.
he climbed the rock wall in our backyard today, something his sis just learned to do.
he understands EVERYTHING you say but he is still not able to communicate very well.
he has been saying words like... mama, daddy, papa, gegaw, ut oh, ball, wow, owww, yea, and bye
music is a must for him. he dances as soon as we turn it on. his dancing is better than mine.
likes to run, jump, skip (his version), jump up and fall on his butt, tackle anyone.
he is a little lover. he is constantly giving kisses and hugs.
if someone has a "boo boo" he says "0www" with a really sad face and then kisses it better.
he can throw a ball like a champ and dribble a soccer ball extremely well.
he LOVES to be read to. he is always bringing books over to patrick, hailey and i and saying, "uh uh" which i think means, "read it". just about the only time he holds still is when you are reading a book to him.
he has really become a MAMA's boy. i can't do anything without him being there by my side wanting me to pick him up. he wants to hold my hand in the car, likes to sit in my lap lately (weird because he actually holds still then too), hates to share me with sis, lays his head on my shoulder when i pick him up and says "awwww" and then gives me a squeeze, loves to kiss me with his open mouth.... he just melts my heart!!!

Happy 19 months Tyler Keith! xoxo

Eating Strawberries... YUM!!!

A few nights ago the kids and I made chocolate covered strawberries. They had so much fun dipping the strawberries into the chocolate. We took a bath while the strawberries dried and that was a big mistake. When they were finished eating them we had to take another bath! Tyler had chocolate EVERYWHERE!

Cousins

I feel so blessed to come from such a big family. I have so many GREAT memories from my childhood and most of them involve my cousins. I love that Hailey and Tyler get to spend just as much time building wonderful memories with their cousins. Here are just a few of the many pictures of Hailey and Tyler spending time with some of their favorite people!

Hailey, Tyler, Mackenzie and Savannah built a fort in Great Grandma's backyard and had a picnic!
