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.

Hair on the run

Yesterday I left early from work to highlight my hair along with the free cut that my hair stylest provides on Tuesday. I call my husband to remind him that I would be getting home late and to go ahead and eat dinner. Michael tells me that he might have to work late. I ask him to call closer to 5:00 to figure out what we could do about the kids. (They are both at Nana's on Tuesday, so it was easier to pick them up.!!!!) My appointment is at 4:30 and Angela gets the foil in my hair and leaves to pick up her daughter from their home to take her to her piano lessons. Angela leaves at 5:00 and I read while she is gone. My darling husband calls at 5:20 stating that he is going to have to work late and that I need to go get the kids. Problems #1: I have foil in my hair!!!!!!!!!!!! Problem #2: Angela is not back from taking her daughter to her piano lessons. I call Angela and ask her if I could leave to pick up the boys. Problem #3: Anegla states that she will be back in about five minutues; however, if I leave with the foil it in my hair for too long that I risk a chance of my hair falling out. So, I decide to wait. (Hair on the top of my head is important to me.) Angela gets back and stated that I need to wait five more minutes. However, I decide to go ahead and wash my hair praying that my decison would not mess up my highlights. (it still looked good and did not mess the highlights. But if it had it would have been my husbands hide!) Here is the part of the story most of you will get a kick out of, I leave the shop w/a towel around my head to pick up the boys from Nana's. I told Angela that I would be back in about 30 minutes and she was kind enough to wait. I am going down I20 at 75 miles an hour w/a towel on the top of my head. What would I tell the police officer if I had gotten pulled over, the truth. My husband had to work late, so I had to go get my kids, and I am in the process of getting my hair done................. He/she would have thought that I was nuts, eventhough I already know that I lost it a long time ago. Needless to say, I got the kids and returned back to have Angela finish my hair. Michael came to get the kids while Angela was cutting my hair, yes!.P.S. My husband owe's me a head massage. You woman know what I am talking about. I love having someone else wash my hair and Angela had to hurry!!!!!!!!!!!

Friends Wedding

Today we worked on flowers for a friends wedding that takes place tomorrow. My thoughts were taken back to my own wedding almost 13 years ago. I can't image my life w/o my wonderful husband; however, at times he can be like a third child.:) Just kidding. I can't believe that I have been married for almost 13 years. We have two wonderful kids to show for it.

Ahren T-Ball

Ahren started T-ball today!!! Michael decided at the last minute that he would help to an assistant coach. He did not want to miss this experience with his son. Michael stated that he wanted to interact w/his son. I am grateful that he wanted to spend this time w/his son. He may miss some of Ahren's games due to Boy Scouts, but he being at his practice/games makes a big difference. The process is about to start all over w/Mason like swim lessons, little gym, and T-ball. I know that he will want to experience the same pleasures of fatherhood w/Mason.

My friend

My friend Melissa's grandfather stared a blog for her to write down his family history. How I wish my father kept a journal or wrote some of his stories down about the war or when he was younger. He died when I was young and I can't remember most of the stories. I also was looking in my mom's things for some things for her taxes and realized that I should have asked her the same questions. Don't take for granted that you are going to have all the time in the world to talk w/your parents.
