California Love

One of my dearest friends, Erin, flew all the way from California to spend the day with me last Tuesday. (Okay, that isn't EXACTLY why she flew across country, but I'm sure it made her trip more pleasureable!! :))

She and Kellie (and Wes & Ella) came and spent the entire day with me and the boys. It was so nice to have Erin get to spend some time with us and actually get some time to know our children.
We have all been friends since high school and still get together at least twice a year to catch up. I'm so glad we haven't lost touch over the years. There is nothing like true friends!!

Piece of Cake!!

It took less than 10 minutes for Dr. Bouknight to put Owen's tubes in. REALLY! LESS THEN 10 MINUTES! Piece of cake for mommy, daddy and Owen! He was fine after the procedure and fussed a little when I put him in the car. Otherwise, his normal, happy self!!

The worst part was missing Muffins for Moms at Price's preschool. It's so hard to have 2 children and not being able to be in 2 places at one time. Price's class did a little Mother's Day program that I missed and that made me soooo sad!! But I guess that's life with 2.....

Time flies....

When your having fun?!?! Or when your super busy?!?! Either way......April flew by.....

I can't believe it's been so long since I updated. I have been busy with work and doctors appointments and our usual goings on!

I went to Nashville, Tennessee a couple of weeks ago for work. (For those who don't know, I do have a part time, work from home job.) It was so incredible! They paid for my flight, for me to stay in the Opryland hotel and ALL my meals. It was work but it felt incredibly like a vacay! We only worked 4 hours a day and didn't have to be there until 11am so I slept in every morning, got ready at my leisure, order room service every morning, watched the Today Show instead of Noggin! It was great! But, of course I missed the commotion and was welcomed by it when I arrived home!

Price is doing great. He is starting to do more things every day that amaze me. He now has a vivid imagination and runs thru the house trying to escape the "Monsters" that are lurking everywhere. He also has a new addiction: Toothpaste! We have called poison control twice in the last week because of him eatting tubes of toothpaste. Luckily for us they were both the kid sized, but he ate an entire tube of non-floride toothpaste and then half a tube of the floride kind (I guess he didn't like that one as much!). It has caused us a lot of upset stomaches this week.
When I ask how his stomach feels, he responds: "Like a ladybug!" Not sure what that means but I don't think it's good.....

Owen went to the ENT yesterday and we are getting tubes in his ears this Wed, May 6th. The doctor said she thought this would solve a lot of our sinus problems and I am excited to finally be rid of ear infections!! He is doing very well otherwise......He can cruise on everything and he is trying to walk by himself a little. He'll occasionally let go and try to remain standing but usually ends up loosing his confidence and sitting down. He'll be walking before you know it!

Last night we took Price to see Disney on Ice and HE LOVED EVERY MINUTE! He actually asked to do it again after it was over. Tinkerbell was a little long.....but he endured with no trouble. He loved the Cars! His eyes were huge when they came out! It was so awesome to see his excitement! We are looking forward to going to see Thomas the Train in June!

Easter Day

We thank you, Jesus, for this day;

For the cross You overcame.

We meet to worship reverently

In Your holy name.

We pledge anew our loyalty,

Our gratitude and love;

We pledge our faith this Easter time

To the Father in heaven above.

We began our Easter Sunday at Church and then we met Gigi and Papaw at the zoo for lunch. It's become our Easter tradition. The lunch was fabulous and Price enjoyed getting to see the "aminals" after lunch. Hope everyone else had a fabulous Easter as well!

Goodbye Zoo!!

The Easter Rabbit is coming!

We have been busy getting ready for the Easter this week. My mom bought the boys these cute matching outfits for Easter. I was having a problem finding what I want because it's hard to get Price & Owen matching outfits since I was trying to get Price something other then a jon-jon but my mom found these and I decided that Easter would be the last time he wore them!! ( I said that at Christmas, too...but I mean it this time!) Josh doesn't like Price in them but he sure liked that we didn't have to purchase it! :) Thanks Mom!!

My mom and I took the boys to see the "Easter Rabbit" (that's what Price calls him) and to get their Easter pictures taken yesterday. They were perfect except Price wouldn't let sit in the Easter Rabbit's lap w/o me! Owen did great though.....

When you ask Price what he wants from the Easter Bunny he says, "I want the Easter Rabbit to bring me an apple, I don't want no carrot!!" So cute! I guess he thinks that since the Easter Bunny always carries a carrot, that is what he brings when he visits! Hopefully the Easter Rabbit will have some apples when he comes to visit Sunday! :)

Happy 9 Months, Owen!!

Time flies when your having fun!!!

I can't believe that little Owen is already 9 months old. Seems like just yesterday I held that sweet little new born in my arms thinking how wonderfully blessed I am!

Right now he is pulling up on everything and he can stand for a pretty long while and is trying to cruise on the furniture. He says "dada" but hasn't quite mastered "mama" yet.....

He is still doing the army crawl to get around.....and, boy, does he get around. He's into everything but mostly likes to be where Price is so that means as long as I keep Price where he's suppose to be, Owen follows along.

Owen is on his 5th ear infection so yesterday we made an appointment to see and ENT and we will be getting tubes put in his ears soon. I am hoping this will help him sleep and feel better. He has had a hard time with all these ear infections and it's disrupting everyone's sleep. Poor thing.....

Only 3 more months till he's ONE!! Then he won't be a baby anymore.......

Owen & his peeps!

I had nursery duty this past Sunday @ church, so I decided to sneak in Owen's classroom and get a picture with him and his Sunday School Buddies. Arn't they precious?

And here's his bud, Anderson! Doesn't he have the most hair you've ever seen on a baby?
