Celebrating Brooks!

On Saturday, we celebrated our sweet boy with a Barnyard Birthday Bash! He had the best time and so did we! LOTS of his friends came, I think we ended up with 18 kids there! They were all able to take a boat ride, feed the ducks and fish, pet and feed a cow, pigs, goats, chicks, mice, rabbits, horses, chickens, sheep, a llama, bottle feed baby pigs, ride a pony…I think that’s about it! He had a wonderful time!

Before I get to party pictures, on his actual birthday we took Brooks cupcakes to school for him and his little friends and then out to eat that night! On to party pics!  

He knew EXACTLY how to feed this little piggy!

      

Petting the chicks… “Ms. Kami, that chick doesn’t go on your head!”    HAHAHA!    Y’all! THIS CAKE!!! Perfection…inside and out!

  He loves it when you sing “Happy Birthday” to him!

Help from Daddy! And then it was present time! We had such a great time celebrating our B!

Happy Birthday Brooks!

Brooks is TWO years old today! Seriously, time flies! He has left the “baby” stage and turned into a full blown 2 year old! And all that goes with it. He is a mess!

He LOVES gummies, cars(he said, “vroom, vroom” in his sleep the other night!), tractors, bubbles, balls, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, running away from us as fast as possible at the ballpark and lots of other little boy things! :)

Here he is this morning… And last night at the ballpark climbing the fence!

Happy Happy Birthday B! We love you SO much!

Here comes the Bride!

My baby sister got hitched on Saturday!!! Eeekkss! It was a beautiful wedding and everything went according to plan, which was fabulous since there was an almost TWO year old in the wedding party! ;)

I wanted to share a few pictures, I’m sure there will be more once the photographer finishes! Reece was the flower girl, Brooks was the ring bearer, I was the matron of honor and Griffin and Peyton were escorts!

Rehearsal…

  RIGHT before walking down the isle!   A few from the photographer!   Y’ALL!!!! I don’t have words. He was the sweetest little man. He walked down the isle holding my hand with a mouth full of gummy bears. I could eat his face! Little Bro officiated! He did fantastic!The ending of a long day! Another one in the books for me and Hubby! Yes, I changed shoes! :)

Meet Trixie!

We finally found Foxy a new friend! I trolled Craigslist like a crazy lady until I found one!

She’s almost solid black and has some beautiful baby blue eyes!!

I was a tiny bit worried at first. I saw her picture and started texting the man that had her. He told me about her and that he owns her parents and that she just had a baby that he sold a week ago. I fell in love with her and we set up a time to meet. Well, for Hubs to meet. AND THEN he proceeded to tell me that she’s not very friendly, she won’t come up to you AT ALL and is very skittish.

Well, crap.

Josh went to get her anyway. While he was there the man told him that she also likes to escape. Double crap. He brought her home anyway. He said that their pen was rickety and ours is not so he didn’t think she would be able to get out.

At first Foxy chased her around like a crazy kangaroo. She would jump up on her hind legs and kick the front ones. Poor new goat. Then after a day or so they were used to each other and now they are friends!

Just two days after we got her she was already eating out of my hand! I think she’s going to be just fine, she just needed a little attention! :)Now our goal is to find a male so WE CAN MAKE BABY GOATS!!!!!!

PS-I turned 33 Wednesday! OLD LADY STATUS! 

Tubes(again!) for B!

Last May, Brooks got tubes in his ears. About 6 months or so ago one of the tubes started making it’s way out and he started having problems again. If you’ve never had a child with ear infections well, they are horrible. And now that he can talk he would say, “eah hut.” Talk about hurting my heart! Pitiful! Over the last 5 weeks he was on 3 different antibiotics to treat ear infections, none of which cleared them up. Back to the ENT we went and got tubes the very next day!

Here we are before they took him back. It was not as easy this time as it was the first time. Mainly because he is a year older! When we were in the holding area the nurses desk was directly in front of his bed and it had a box of doughnuts on it. He recognized the Krispy Kreme box quickly and kept saying, “Nonut PEEZE.”

IT.WAS.PITIFUL.

He’s used to eating way earlier and was so hungry! I felt so bad.

He was more ill when waking up this time around, which we expected. After we were discharged, I got him something to eat and we headed home where he took a THREE hour nap! He woke up feeling fabulous and we went to eat at Taco Casa before Peyton’s ballgame!

So glad he’s feeling better!

Spring Break!

I am WAY behind and have LOTS to catch up on but for now, SPRING BREAK!

Last week was our Spring Break and it was perfect timing! We NEEDED some time at the beach! The sister and I made plans to all go together and I’m so glad we did. The house is FULL with us all there at the same time but it’s FULL of LOVE! ;) and lots of cousin laughter!

This is B on the ride down! HA! Love my Lover! These 4 make me so happy! And crazy! Um, can we say TWINS? Beachin’ cousins! AND THEN!!!! Paw Paw kept all 6 kids and we had DATE NIGHT! Yeehaw! It was the best week!
