life with a 5 yr old boy- oh my!!!

so far (in five years) we have managed to avoid any nasty 'boo-boos".....well,
thank the Lord for angels!! my sweet MAC has quite a nasty "scratch" that COULD have been SOOOOOOO much worse!!! look below:

even though he was TOLD to put down the 4 ft wooden stake (to stake off tomatoes)- and NOT to slide down his slide with it in his hand.....well, you can see the result. he even has a little mark on his earlobe. hopefully next time he will be a little more obedient- and we will faster on our feet!!

yes, this is a daily ritual (in some form or another)...playing 'rough"

hahahaah!!! i LOOOOOVE this photo! he does this almost everytime he plays in the sprinkler!!!

and he always looks stunned after the fact---heehee

my sweet MAC- the day we took this photo he was spraying the hose in the air making rainbows for me, in honor of 'gift day' . he told me "you know why its gift day?? because i love you". my sweet boy!

i have a lot of photos to catch up on....but not today...i here my Doodle-Bear waking up!!

Family Photos!!!

it has been WAAAAYY to long since this family had a photo session..as in MAC was 1 yr-old. so last week we remedied that!! i am so blessed to have two photographers in my life. my sister is one(she took the boys photos a few weeks ago- they are posted previously)....and my sweet friend Leisha is the other. Leisha INSISTS that she isn't a photographer...but she is.
while visiting b'ham last week we met up for a photo shoot- all 4.5 (bunny is still in the oven) of us!!! i'm SOOOOO pleased with the way the photos turned out!!

one of my favorites is currently the header for this blog! there is NO telling what i was laughing at- T was in rare form that day and who knows what he said!!!

i'm not sure what they were looking at...but i love this one~~

MAC was LOVING the creek....this was before he slipped!

yeah, we weren't quite as comfortable in front of the camera as the boys were...

a family shot! poor doodle bug looks a little stunned....but he's teething...

sweet baby blues!!! (and a little grass on the chin for good measure)

ooooh yeah!!! flying and being bounced- what more could a 7 mo old ask for?

Leisha even managed to get MAC to smile!!! this is a rarity in photos!! well, unless you count the goofy smiles I usually get.

he was LOVING the creek~

thanks again Leisha for taking some great photos!!! i'll have to book an appointment again next time we are in town!!!

a few photos

my sweet, talented, sister did a photo shoot of her two FAVORITE nephews while we were visiting her a couple of weeks ago!! they turned out REALLY well- most of them anyway!
my goal was to get one of each of the boys and one together....i think she accomplished that!!!
we were able to get some family photos done today- i'll post those when i get them. well, soemtime soon anyway!

Baby Update

sweet little bunny's first photo session! :) 10 wk 6d and can already TALK?! amazing ;)
these last ones are actually backward....but j-doodle is waking from his slumber and i don't have time to re-load.

MAC- being a GOOBER while waiting for the ultrasound- what am i going to do with him?? haha!he was excited though. :)

J-doodle- not so impressed with the waiting...or the flash from the camera!!!

getting in the car to go to the appt!

Doodle in his carseat- can you see his dimple?! i just want to kiss his little cheeks all the time!!

so for all of my THRONGS of loyal followers-- and those who don't do facebook---

thought i would update on 'Bunny' :)

went to new dr. yesterday. really liked him- YAY!!! and returned today for an ultrasound- again, YAY!!!

i will be 11wks tomorrow...so we are set for approx 12/30.

BUT they will schedule me for a few days before that for a repeat c-section. i will have to wait until my visit in july to set an exact date.

either way you look at it, Christmas is going to be VERY interesting this year!! i guess i should shop early,huh??

anyway, the boys {obviously} went with me....daddy had a meeting and couldn't get out of it on such short notice :(

j-doodle- was NOT impressed. he actually HOWLED when she turned the lights off! OY!!!

MAC- was a little more excited. but still kinda weirded out by the whole thing. when we got back in the car, the first thing he asked was "what was that STUFF they put on your tummy??" {hee-hee}

that is all for now!!!

SOOOOO much to catch up on!!!

we have been soooo busy lately! i haven't taken so many photos!! i know that i will never catch up! i have easter photos, MAC's b'day, Aquarium trips, Military tatoo's, etc. but i tsuppose i will begin with these :

to address the common questions:

1. no, your eyes are NOT playing tricks on you

2. YES! we do know what causes these kinds of situations

3. still early- working on the due date...probably beginning to mid january {i'm only about 5 wks}

4. don't really care if it is a boy or a girl. {seriously}

5. we are calling him/her Bunny- mainly because Easter was about "the" time.

6. i return on the 18th for a sonogram.

7. no, we weren't 'trying'

8. God DEFINITELY has a sense of humor ;)

please feel free to comment :)
