Diary

Today at church, Amber Connelly showed all her diaries that she kept over the years. I can't keep a diary to save my life. So, I have decided that i will use my blog as my diary. Keep up w/the day to day activities of my life and my family. Michael just told me that Mason is able to place his blocks through the holes in a toy. Another milestone. I can't wait until he starts walking. I need to start taking pictures more. However, we have to find the camera. Summer is over and school is starting. Ahren has done well and I hope that he cont. to do well.

P.S. I got the tickets to go see George W. Bush. I am going to have to eat in ALOT to pay for the tickets. Michael and I have gone out on dates, but never were we had to dress up. Every twelve years it is nice to dress up and go out w/your husband.

Decisions

As I have said before, Ahren starts Pre-K at Fort Worth Christian starting next week. Well, I get an e-mail last night stating that former President George W. Bush will speak at a Gala at the Omin Hotel for the school. I can't believe it! Of course, I can't afford the sponsorship, however; I could possibly affoard the individual tickets. Michael and I have decided if I can get the tickets we are going. We are never, ever, never, going to get another chance. I will eat mac and cheese for a long time if I have to. I called Billy today to ask him his opinion and he agrees. I may not get to take a picture w/the former President nor shake his had; HOWEVER, I will be in the same room w/him. We get to buy tickets before it opens up to the public. I hope that I can get tickets.

It has been along time!

Melissa has been on my case about not posting anything on my blog. I have not made time for it. A lot has happened. Ahren starts Pre-K in the fall at Fort Worth Christian. My baby is growing up. He is hard headed and stubborn, but I love him. The mother’s curse works. Ahren is my pay back. Keeps me humble. Mason is 10 months and finally crawling. He is so easy going and hardly any trouble. But I am glad that I have my two boys, no girls. It is nice to spoil my friends girls and send them back to their mothers. I had pictures taken of Mason and Heidi and will try to post them soon.

Picture

I took both boys to Wal-Mart today to buy some groceries. My poor baby fell asleep in the basket. He laid his little head on the "thingy that you put in shopping charts so that your baby doesn't sit in the chair w/o protection" and went to sleep. No camera. That sucks. I need to start making sure that the camera is charged and ready to use. OR, my husband gets me that new T-Mobile phone that takes pictures.

Ahren and Mason Playing Around

The kids playing in bluebonnets, aren't they cute!

P.S. Tigger also had fun!

The Brace

Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The brace is finally off. Michael took him to the doctor today and the doctors stated that he would only have to wear the brace when he sleeps. My poor little baby has been in a cast or his brace since he was 5 weeks old. Mason just turned six months on the 3rd of April and it is hard for me to remember him w/out a brace/cast. He may not know what to do w/all that freedom. At the monent, he is excited to play w/his feet. Hopefully, I will have pictures of him later.

P.S. For those with you that don't know, Mason had to wear a brace due to being born w/a slight club foot. Usually club foot is runs in the family, but nobody in our family has club foot. The doctors think that he ran out of room and turn his foot inward. It is correctable, but a long process. He will have to wear the brace up to the age of three. (only while he sleeps, yea!)

At the Zoo

Yesterday we went to the zoo w/Zachary and Joy. It was a lot of fun spending time with the boys. However, it was a lot of work. I am glas that the Lord has blessed me with two wonderful boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But two is the limit for me. Both my boys are hard headed and stronged willed, which will be great when they are teenagers, but it is hard on me. Ahren has the same personility that I have and we clash a lot. However, both boys are snuggly and love their mommy.
