Just a few of the boys....

Phil and I have been beyond blessed with these two wonderful little boys. They are so precious! I'm so thankful for their health and the love they give us.


Pure cuteness.



Like two peas in a pod. They love each other so much already! It's so stinkin' sweet!


He can almost get his foot in his mouth.

Parker 4 Months

Parker turned 4 months on Jan. 20. He had his check up on Jan. 21. He weighed 15 pounds and 12 ounces. He was 27 1/4 inches long. Head circumference was 43 cm. He had to get 2 shots, one in each leg. He didn't even flinch on the first shot, but that second one got him. But he only cried a little. He's a tough, little fella. He's such a happy baby. Even the doctor said, "He's really laid back." I have to admit, having two kids has been easier than I thought it would be.

At four months old, Parker can eat baby food, grab for everything, and somewhat sit up. He'll sleep all night 2 or 3 days in a row, then wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning, 2 or 3 days in a row. But he's such a good baby, we really don't mind. He loves to watch his big brother. He literally smiles all the time. You just have to make eye contact with him and he lights up!



Phil had to pick up Parker early on Monday from daycare. He was running a fever that got up to 101.6. Phil took him to the ACC. Luckily, the flu culture came back negative. He was very congested and had a cough that sounded like a seal. They prescribed an antibiotic and a steroid. He is much better now, still has a litte bit of a deep cough. He stayed home with Phil yesterday, but went back to daycare today. He's his usual smiling self.

I lost two more pounds this week. Yay! I wouldn't normally say what my weight is, but I will say, I'm finally under the 200 mark. I haven't seen under that in about 4 years. I am so proud. I just pray that I continue to stick with it. Eating healthy can really make a difference. I've noticed my stomach doesn't feel as bloated when I make better food choices and eat smaller meals.

My friend Elana and I, did a Zumba class they offer at the hospital. The moves were similar to the ones from the Xbox Zumba, which was good, because that made it easier for me to follow. It was a lot of fun.

Also, Elana & Katie, and myself will be signing up for the Mule Kick 5k. Of course, I don't expect to run the whole thing, but I do hope to walk/jog most of it.

Big Boy

It has happened and it is great! We can now officially say, Mason is POTTY TRAINED! YAY! He wore underwear all last week to daycare, and did not have any accidents. I think he even surprised his teachers. I was a little shocked myself. He's been doing really good at home for the past 2-3 months wearing underwear and going to the potty, but I thought for sure he would probably have an accident at daycare at least on the first day. He still has to squat on the potty to poo poo, but at least he waits till he gets home to do that. He is so proud to wear his BIG BOY UNDERWEAR! His reward is getting to watch his Mickey Mouse movies. After going #2 in the potty, he yells, "Now I get to watch Mickey Mouse!" before he even gets off the commode.
