Aunt Shi's First Dirty Diaper

I was actually surprised that she did it, but Chris's sister, Shi Ann, decided that she wanted to change a dirty diaper to see what all of the hype was about. Poor Heath was the unfortunate soul. The rest of us found it downright hysterical.

and we're off

Today we are leaving to go visit Chris's family in San Saba. This will be our first overnight trip with the boys. I will have to take pictures of all the stuff that we have packed and show them to you. It is ridiculous how much stuff we have to pack for a day trip, let alone 5 days (we will be back Wednesday around lunch). Wish us luck.

If this doesn't make you smile...nothing will

I finally caught it on film...proof that my boys can smile. Check out these toothless grins.

Does it get any cuter than that?

Passy Patrol

It amazes me on a daily basis, just how different my boys are. Yes, they may have entered this world about a minute apart and may have shared a womb, but they are night and day different. I'm sure there will be other times that I blog about their differences, but this time I am just going to point out one difference.


Heath is really good at keeping his pacifier in his mouth. Unless he really doesn't want it, it will stay in most of the time. Hunter, however, is terrible at it. I am CONSTANTLY having to put it back in his mouth to silence his screams. Apparently, this particular day, Heath got tired of it, too. If you look closely at the pictures you can tell he is holding it in for his brother.

Thanks for the help Heath.

Multi-tasker

Yesterday, I:

*Did the dishes while vacuuming the living room
*Did the laundry while vacuuming my bedroom

*Made the bed while vacuuming the kitchen

*Cuddled with my babies while vacuuming the boys room

How did I manage, you may ask?

My new vacuum cleaner!!! Chris bought me an IRobot Roomba for my birthday. This cool little gadget vacuums an entire room with just the touch of a button. It is soooo cool. It works really well and picked up more dirt than my old vacuum. I actually had no idea that my floors were that dirty. Gross! They are clean now!

So maybe having this makes me lazy, but I managed to get so much done while vacuuming my floors. It is great, I highly recommend it.

They say it's your Birthday....

well it's my birthday, too.

Today is the big...2-8. How was I to know that my 28th birthday would be the best ever? I have a wonderful husband and the most adorable, precious, superb sons a mother could ever have. This past year has been wonderful. Last year, the though of having a child was only a dream, and I never even imagined that I would have TWO. I have been so blessed. Happy Birthday to me.

Helping Daddy

Now that Hunting season is over, Chris's job changes. He switches over to water safety season. He usually has to work different lakes around the state and patrol rivers. He checks for boater safety laws as well as fishing bag limits. As long as the weather is warm, he loves being out on the water. Lately, he has been getting the Game Warden boats running, and, thankfully, he does this in our front yard so the boys and I get to spend more time with him while he works.


Here are the boys "helping" Daddy fix the GW boat.
Sometimes Mommy just doesn't have enough hands, so Heath got to "Help" Daddy do his monthly reports.

Someday we will be big enough to really help out, Daddy, until then, thanks for letting us hang out.
