Sleepover with Grandma Florida

My Grandma called last night and wanted the boys for a sleepover. They have never spent the night at her house before. I was a tad bit worried. Not that they would miss me or anything, but that they would tire her out in, oh, say five minutes! They were sooooo excited to go there! When we dropped them off, they barely kissed us good bye and were shoving us out the door. This morning they are making cookies with her. I bet she takes a nice long nap today and I bet they all had an awesome time!

Nate and his zippered pajamas

Ah, my little Naterator. Do I have some pictures to blackmail you with when you are older. Your latest obsession is body parts. You love to put a ball under your shirt or in your jammies and pretend you have a "baby in my belly" and it cracks me up every time you do it. The other day, you walked into my office and had two balls (of the same size) and you had given yourself a set of boobs. Let's just say your father was not too impressed when I sent him that pic, but I laughed for a long time! Heck, I"m still laughing. Later that day, you had stuck the balls on your hind end and given yourself quite a round bottom. You amaze me and crack me up daily.

been a while

I talked with some friends recently and realized I have not written in here in a while. Things got a bit crazy with the holiday season. Lex is now wrestling twice a week and absolutely loves it. He went to his first tournament two weeks ago and had a blast. He has a trophy and it is his pride and joy right now! Nate is excited to start karate when he turns 4. They are both getting so big and so grown up on a daily basis. We went through sort of a rough patch (okay, maybe I did) and things got sort of bad around here. I stopped enjoying them and started yelling. A lot. I didn't like who I was becoming/became so things had to change, and they have. I have realized my kids are freaking awesome! I don't care what anyone else thinks. They are God-loving, family-loving and fun-loving kids and I wouldn't have it any other way. Are they "perfect?" Well, what's the definition of perfect? To me, as long as they are the three things I mentioned above, they seem to be pretty darned perfect right now as that's what I consider important for young kids. I can't wait to see what's in store for us!
