Gardening..

I planted a nice little garden this year. This is what it used to look like. Since we've moved, and there's no water at the house now, I'm afraid of what it's going to look like in the near future.

Lettuce

Onions

Bell Peppers

Top Gun

Cooper serves as a honorary commander for the 41st Air Division at the Columbus Airforce Base. Friday, he got to cross a task off his bucket list.. Flying in a T6. He got to fly in formation with one other plane and then he got to take control. The kids and I had a tour of the base and then watched Cooper land. It was pretty awesome. Thank you 41st for the amazing experience you shared with our family, but most of all THANK YOU for all you do for our country!

Swayze-9 Months

Dear Swayze,

I can't believe you're already nine months old. Seems just like yesterday that you came into this world. You're such a good baby and you only fuss when you're hungry or sleepy... or when your brother pinches you, tackles you, pushes your head into the floor, or holds your feet so you can't crawl. I can't wait until the day when you can stand your ground and get him back. Your demeanor is so sweet, I'm not sure you'll be much of one to fight back. You'll have to learn to stand your ground somehow.. your big brother is a mess. You are crawling all over the place now and you have different variations of crawling. You crawl "normal", scooting on your booty while using one leg (like Campbell) and then like you're doing the breaststroke. The insides of your big toes have little blisters from maneuvering your way around the house. Everything you come across goes into your mouth.. your brother never did this. Seems like I'm always digging bacon out of your mouth.. maybe because your brother crumbles it all over the house. Your so ready for real food, but you only have two teeth. You do well enough to gum whatever we give you though. Thank you for finally starting to sleep through the night. I forgot what it was like to sleep all night long. You do still wake up and fuss during the night, but you soothe yourself back to sleep... no night nursing anymore.. just during the day. I look forward to every day I get to spend with you and your big brother.. even though some days are hard, I wouldn't trade you two for the world!

Love Always,

Mom

Easter 2011

April...

Every time I sit down to update the ole blog I get mad and give up. When I try to upload 5 pictures at a time I get a "bad request" response... After waiting for about 10 minutes! (Any helpful suggestions on this would be awesome!) So I finally sat down and uploaded two at a time... because I know I have so many people dying to see what we've been up too ( insert sarcasm here). Updating facebook is so much easier. Take a picture and post it from your phone.. How did people show off their kids before facebook phone technology? Is it possible to update the blog from your phone too? If so, someone please let me in on the secret! Enough jabbering, on to what you're really here for...

Trying to touch his tongue to his nose like his Mama...
