Flashback Friday: In honor of Peyton turning 8

Can you tell that we were new parents? I think that Russell was still shocked with holding his little baby boy by the look on his face.This was taking outside of my parents house, Peyton was just a couple of weeks old. He looked so little but was 9lbs. 11oz. at birth. I still can't believe that he is 8 years old now.

We are off to San Antonio this weekend for Russell's Grandmothers 92nd birthday party, that is going to be more like a family reunion....we are so excited to be with family all weekend long! Have a great weekend!

My Baby Boy is 8!

I can't believe how fast time or life goes by. 8 years ago I was giving birth to a precious baby boy, he would change and bless our lives forever. Russell and I have recently gotten him a cell phone. He is about to start guitar lessons and got a new guitar from his Nana for his birthday. He knows about gun safety as his goes out back and shoots his bb gun, a gift from us from his birthday. He is going to Camp Butman summer camp this year for the first time. I still can't believe that he is old enough to be doing all this things. I do miss him being a baby and a toddler but I am truly looking forward to what is to come with him. He is such a great kid!

Miss Mads Sick!

As we were about to get dressed for her parent/teacher conference at school today, Miss Mads gets sick all over the newly mopped kitchen floor....I will not go into details but it was ugly! This is the kicker, I go get her bed sheets off so that I can start a around the house disinfectant process and guess what I find...she threw up in her bed. That always makes you feel like Mom of the year, how did I miss her throwing up in her bed? Around 4pm I finally got some clothes on her, well she got herself dressed...see the non matching pjs. This stomach has hit our house over and over again. It is poor Madison's 2nd time to have it in a 2 to 3 week period. I fell so bad for her meanwhile I am hoping and praying that it is only a 24 hour thing as Russell and I are going out of town for our first trip (just us) since we have had children. Praying for quick recovery from the bug!!!!
