Ryder and I have an understanding that once I put him and Rhodes down for a nap, that if Rhodes falls asleep and Ryder is still up, it's okay to come out (but let's be honest people... Rhodes has gotta take a NAP!!!) So nothing was sweeter than me witnessing Ryder tip-toeing and peeking into my room to see if I was in there. I was on the couch all along just watching him but didn't want to interrupt him so I could see his sweet little self try to sneak up on me.<br />

Music time at the library is where Rhodes lets loose. They were singing that song "roll over" about the kids falling off the bed. Anyways, Rhodes was going nuts. He was dancing so hard and then he started attempting the worm or some form of the worm. All the other kids were marching around the room all orderly with their instruments. He just marched to the beat of his own drum.<br />

While Ryder and Rhodes were at an extended family Christmas function with Nanni and Granddaddy, we took the day to relax. Well I went Christmas shopping. I came home to find John Michael all wrapped up in this burrito listing to.... wait for it..... the spa station on Pandora! What??? Didn't even know this was a station.<br />

He woke up sometime around dinner and claimed he was starving. I was trying to finish up dinner but in the meantime Rhodes crawled up in his lap.

JM came home later that day but no fear, he was gone at the crack the next morning. He promised me he would be quiet as a mouse leaving so he didn't wake me or the kids. I sent him this picture that morning around 4:45 in my bed (a mere 20 minutes after he left). I desperately tried to get the clock to show up in the picture but it was too dark. Nothing is too quiet for these two. GOOD MORNING MOON!!!</div>

Meanwhile, Kayla and I went Black Friday shopping (on Thursday at 6 pm - what's the world come to???) Anyway, we shopped until 6:30 a.m. I got home at 7 and by some miracle everyone was still asleep. Rhodes was in bed with John Michael so I snuck in the bed with Ryder. The next thing I knew I woke up and it was 11 a.m.! Whaaaaat! And to top it off, as soon as I was getting up, JM and the boys were headed out the door to the hardware store so I got about another hour of time to collect my brain. I was all out of whack from that 12 hour shift!<br />

While the guys hung out outside and the kiddos were holding their own upstairs, we got a little time to ourselves to relax and catch up! And then sometime around 10 CC and Poppy took all the kids (except Rhodes and Tatum - 9 weeks) to stay at their house! They had so much fun and all 5 of them slept on a pallet at the foot of CC and Poppy's bed.<br />

He had a freak fest over having his from the BIG juice. So what did I do? I opened the big juice.<br />

Rhodes will do anything for a plate of snacks. All the way to the car he kept repeating, "Rhodes, don't fill it, don't fill it, don't fill it." (spill it).<br />

It brought me to tears when Ryder asked me to come upstairs for a surprise. He asked me to sit down on the couch and next to me was a pile of things that he thought I would love. He told me it was special mom day. He put a crown on my head, covered me with a blanket, propped my feet up on his toy crate, handed me a note with a huge heart written on it and I (heart) U in the middle. He gave me everything upstairs that was a "girl color." And he brought me a book. He is so special, he really is.<br />

It's like five is a whole new era, even if he's no different. Just seems so old. And school-ish. And out of the toddler years. And all that stuff that makes you want to cry. <br />
<br />
Ryder woke up on his birthday cheery and happy just like he does every morning. Then we gave him his presents. And his excitement over a box of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle bandaids.... he's so easy to please.<br />

We booked the beach the weekend after Ryder's fifth birthday so I almost decided not to do a party. And just let that be his party. But he was dying for a birthday party at Chuck-e-Cheese and I really couldn't bear to deny him of it. So since he only goes to school Tuesday through Thursday we just did a class party at Chuck-e-Cheese on Monday, his actual birthday. I'm so glad I did. He told me it was a party he would never forget - multiple times.<br />
<br />
I couldn't figure out why he loved it so much. Then I realized. It's all about the game. And winning. And he's his father's child!<br />

I am so glad I have this blog because I don't even know how I would be able to put into words all the billions of reasons I love that Ryder-Roo. Thanks to ole blog, I think it's well known what an angel on earth this boy is for me. He is truly a light in my life. Ryder, you amaze us every single day.<br />
<br />
We were supposed to go to the beach on Wednesday. Early, early Wednesday. Tuesday around 2:00 I called John Michael at work. I said, I'm about to pack up. Let's leave tonight. He is a man so he had to think about it for a minute and call me back when it was his idea :) So he said he was good with it but that I needed to be packed up by the time he got home so we could walk out the door. He got home about 5. Miraculously I packed us all up (excluding picky packer) in 2 hours, which is major because I usually start packing several days before we leave. We left around 5:30. We were shooting for driving straight to Orange Beach and just getting a hotel somewhere there. Once we pulled into Orange Beach John Michael got the bright idea to call our condo and see if it was empty and if we could check in on Tuesday instead of Wednesday. Well that worked out so hallelujah!<br />
<br />
We got on up and had a tasty breakfast at Brick and Spoon.<br />

Dinner. TMI here.... but Rhodes only goes number two once a day. In the morning. Around 9 a.m. So I didn't pack a diaper bag (sue me). But Rhodes switched things up a little bit on vacation. And went two-a-days style. Second time being at dinner. On the night I didn't pack a diaper bag. You know I call JM the diaper nazi.

Hours and hours were spent digging up sea shells. Ryder is dressed for the sifting of the shells occasion in his shark tooth necklace (which he wore proudly his first day back to school). His instructions were to make three piles. Ryder's keep pile. Mommy's keep pile. Rhodes pile (better known as the cracked and broken shells).<br />

We had a wonderful vacation spent with wonderful family! It was nice taking a fall vacation, little cheaper and less crowded. But it also made me a sad knowing this is the last year we were able to do that. Next fall Ryder will join the real world!!!</div>

<br />
Me: Rhodes if you don't come on, we're going to leave you.<br />
<div>
Ryder: If we leave Rhodes here and we have another boy baby, I'll just name him Rhodes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ryder: When we are grownups will our names still be Ryder and Rhodes? Because isn't Ryder and Rhodes a kid name? What was your name when you were a kid?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Rhodes can be funny too these days<br />
<br />
While putting the boys down for bed they wouldn't stop chatting with each other. </div>
<div>
John Michael: "Don't. Say. One. More. Word." </div>
<div>
Rhodes: Word<br />
<br />
They were at my moms the other day and she said Rhodes fell down from trying to climb up a stool (like one step) and he cried out, "I dropped!"<br />
<br />
If I've taught Rhodes anything, it's to sneak money out of daddy's wallet when he's not looking!<br />

He asked me to get off the swing before I broke it. Because 30 year olds are too big to swing. I love to prove him wrong!<br />

This was right before he made his famous "souffle" as he called it. He mixed up ice cream, water, sprite, raisins, goldfish, and a peanut butter granola bar. Then he put it in the fridge for 2 hours. Then he tasted it. I made him go outside in the grass when he tasted it just in case he barfed it up. I think he should stick to sports.... maybe soccer isn't that bad afterall.</div>

We had a FANTASTIC friendcation with the Fyke's to Orange Beach. I just uploaded a large amount of photos and none of them popped up in order. Not about to fix it either.</div>

Thumbs up for Cobalt! The next day we were discussing where we should eat for dinner. Todd suggested we eat at "Cobie" again. We had to first explain that it's called CoBALT. Second who goes to the same restaurant twice on a vacation!?!?! </div>

On the way home (remember these are totally out of order) we stopped to do the Battleship Tour in Mobile. I'm sure it's really cool for a lot of people, but I thought I was going to fall out from claustrophobia. There are way to many little walk thru compartments in that place. It also reminded me why I will never ever go on a cruise ship again. <br />

I am so glad Lindsey had the bright idea to get a condo on the ground floor. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to do anything different. While the boys napped we were able to still sit at the pool with the baby monitor because the pool was literally right outside our back door. Genius!!! Also, it was mighty nice to walk out of our condo door and right up to our car. No elevator wait!<br />

The night before this photo, as I was tucking Ryder in, I told him that the next day we could paint his piggy bank elephant and also that at some point we would go swimming. He proudly marched into my room as the sun came up wearing his swim trunks and holding his ceramic elephant. The child who never forgets.<br />

Sometime around 2 a.m. the other night, Rhodes woke up for the second time. It was John Michael's turn. I heard JM creeping back into our room and I looked at the clock and it was 6 a.m. He said he and Rhodes fell asleep on the couch the whole night. I couldn't miss an opportunity to see that sweet thing sleeping on the couch (a first!)<br />

Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-356899633115216796.post-60632507607384312102014-07-26T21:58:00.005-05:002014-07-26T22:18:31.960-05:00Junkyard DogsI didn't mention any of Rhodes' two year old stats in his birthday post, but I want to remember them, so I will do so now. Weighs 25 lbs. I just upped him to size 5 diapers. He wearing pretty much 2T everything. Size 6-7 shoe depending on the shoe. Nowhere chose to needing a haircut. Mouth full of teeth. Eats pretty good, drinks mainly just diluted juice and milk everyday. Every now and then he gets a few sips of sprite and sometimes he even asks for "wata!"<br />
<br />
After many spankings and time-outs, he's finally starting to get it. He understands how that when we say he will get a spanking if he does xxxx again, that we mean it. He has to be rocked. Not rocked to sleep, but just a song or two and then he bucks his head back, meaning put me in bed! Many times he'll say bed when he's ready to be done rocking.<br />
<br />
And now for some RJW #1 entertainment:<br />
<br />
"When's the last time you brushed Rhodes' teeth? He's breath is STANKY!" (please know, it was not stanky).<br />
<br />
"Mom, when I have diarrhea I want you to wipe me. But when I have those fat ones, I'll wipe myself. You know, like those logs." (apologies for the TMI)<br />
<br />
Tonight he was looking for his favorite pjs. I told him I knew I had seen them but couldn't remember where. He replies, "Well where did you last put them when you first had them? Just retrace your steps."<br />
<br />
The other day I asked him how his day was. He replied, "It was great! But not the bad kind of great like ohhhhh great."<br />

They didn't nap together, but.... About two hours into naptime Rhodes woke up and I thought he was up for good so I went in to wake Ryder on up too. Rhodes laid right down on his bed and fell back to sleep for about 30 more minutes. It was pure sweetness.<br />

Since it's summer and the boys don't have school and we're joined at the hip 24/7, there are just some times I HAVE to go to the store. No matter how dreadful it is to Ryder, it must be done. A household does require food, toilet paper, diapers, toiletries, cleaning supplies and so on. Contrary to what some believe, these things don't just appear on your doorstep. So anyway, I've gotten real bad about telling Ryder if he'll just go in without complaining, I'll buy him something fun. Of course it's never over a dollar or two, but I'd say this was a dollar well spent! Cheesin on some Ninja Turtles!<br />

Ryder is hit or miss with his post nap moods. This particular day he was feeling moody. And all that means to me is he wants mama to comfort him! I like!<br />

When we got home, we went straight upstairs to the playroom. Maybe junkyard seems more appropriate. Please know, this is only a small portion of the room and we can actually walk through the rest of the room. But Ryder thinks it's just amazingly fun to build a booby trap using everything in sight. So as long as he can keep it contained over in the corner, I can live with it. Plus, it's the only room upstairs and I don't have to look at it if I don't want to. This would not fly if it was in my sight. Would literally give me nightmares.<br />

I love that sweet thing to pieces. We had his party Thursday night because John Michael has a golf tournament this weekend. Since that baby is like a magnet to sand and shovels, I thought a digging theme would be quite appropriate, so we had a party at Rhodes' "digs."<br />
<br />
He had a fun time at his party and the weather was unheard of for July. We were even going to blow up the water slide but I think it would've been too chilly for the kids to get wet. It felt that good outside!<br />

And a sand cake. Which I didn't make enough of. But people really liked it so I will share the recipe.<br />

John Michael's sweet self worked tirelessly to finish this fort and sandbox so it would be ready for Rhodes' party. How could we have a diggin' party without sand? So, the "non-handyman" handyman knocked it out in a week. By himself for the most part. I'll never let him fool me again into thinking he can't do something! But he did have some really wonderful help to speed up the process. <br />

Later that night after everyone left, Rhodes (or should I say Ryder), opened presents. He got lots of awesome things and believe me, he needed some new stuff!<br />

<br />
<b>Sand Cake</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
8 oz cream cheese<br />
3/4 stick butter, softened<br />
1 1/3 c powdered sugar<br />
2 bags golden oreo cookies (I threw in a couple regular oreos in too to give it a few black specks)<br />
2 small boxes INSTANT vanilla pudding - very important - I learned<br />
4 c milk<br />
8 oz cool whip<br />
<br />
Grind up oreos and set aside to dry out. I used a food processor. Mix butter, cream cheese and powdered sugar together and set aside. Mix vanilla pudding mix with milk, set aside. Mix cream cheese mixture with pudding mixture and stir in cool whip. With a sand bucket of your choice, start with a layer of the crushed oreos and then the pudding mixture. Repeat until you end with the cookie crumbs. Refrigerate until time to eat. Cute to serve with a shovel.<br />
<br />
This morning Rhodes woke up a two year old! He was so excited as we sang happy birthday to him. Glad I caught it on video:<br />

Let me share some cute stuff about Rhodes.<br />
<br />
When it's bedtime (and he can always sense it), as we are headed to his room he'll lay his head on our shoulder and say in his little raspy voice, "wah wah" which means rock rock. Me oh my he's sweet.<br />
<br />
While we are rocking I always sing Jesus Loves Me and Rhodes has started to chime in. It's a whole lotta crazy sounding but I can tell he's sounding out the words and staying on tune with me.<br />
<br />
He can count to thirteen! Certainly not on command, and it's only happened a handful of times, and it's usually very much out of order, and it sounds a little weird - kind of like I'll start by saying ONE, and he'll say (sound these out yourselves) tuoooo, fwee, fouh, five, sits, senen, fwee, fouh, senen, aint, nine, tan, lenen, twelf, tirteen.<br />
<br />
He sings parts of the theme songs to Dora (he calls it Dowa Boots), Mickey Mouse (he says Mee Mowh), Octonauts (ahhnots) -- I DIE it's so cute.<br />
<br />
He would brush his teeth twelve times a day. I've found him many a time standing on the bathroom stool taking matters into his own hands.<br />
<br />
I love the way he sounds when he says things and how they don't sound anything like what the actual word is, but John Michael, Ryder and I always know what he's saying. Like beberries for strawberries. Dooce for juice. Buhhh Buhhh when he sees a bug. Puhl when we get to the pool. Huuuuuuh with outstretched arms when he wants a hug. Err for ear. Sher for share. Her for hair. Mirk for milk - he's got something going on with the "er" sound and it's pretty hilarious. Nack for snack. And he's got a full blown lisp just like his brother. <br />
<br />
I'm so glad Rhodes joined our family two years ago. He makes us laugh, but makes us crazy sometimes too! He's so cute to me and I have started to figure out all of his quirks. I can't wait to see what kind of little guy he turns out to be. Thank you God for our healthy, handsome, sweet and silly boy. We have been given more than we could ever deserve.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-356899633115216796.post-63298524352306600162014-07-08T16:40:00.000-05:002014-07-08T16:40:47.209-05:00Rea Party of 2<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

When I got home I figured I better have a little dress rehearsal for the boys since they had their pants hemmed. Well thank the good Lord I did. Ryder's pants were somewhere between his ankle and calf. I called my dear friend and neighbor in a panic and she fixed them in a pinch. I knew better than to tell Ryder we were having a situation because I know my son... and he would've had a panic attack and would've not put the pants back on for the wedding.<br />

Ya'll. I try to be a good disciplinarian, but when you have your chillins 24/7, sometimes you just let things go. That's where good daddies come into play. Mine sees the chillins before and after work and has much more patience with disciplining than I do. Hence Rhodes' timeout session at 6:15 a.m.<br />

When you are desperate for blondness, you do what it takes. Because of time constraints, the only way I could make it work was to go get it done and then drive home and have my head in shampoo and water within 35 minutes. I had a 35 minute drive. Then I had to get the kids out of the car and situated and then jump in the shower. Not only was a hoping I wouldn't get pulled over, or stopped at a red light next to someone I only kind of know, I was also hoping my hair wouldn't fry off. <br />

I had my first experience shelling peas. Ryder was good at it! Rhodes enjoyed either taking out the peas and throwing them in the fire pit, or grabbing my bowl and tumping it over when I wasn't looking. But it was a fun family affair nonetheless.<br />

Ryder went on his first sleepover to Gaines' house. After we got the news that they are moving to HOUSTON (insert sniffles), we decided we better get these bff's together as much as we can. Melanie did a good job documenting his first sleepover experience. She said he tore up his taco salad and of course he requested bananas and pineapples to be mixed in. Only my child.<br />

The gym offers apples as you leave. Unfortunately my kids spotted them as we were walking in. They couldn't go into the childcare room with them so I had to sit there until they finished. Have you ever seen how long it takes for a baby to eat an apple?<br />

Oh. And he's real into dressing himself now. And in true Ryder fashion, he takes his wardrobe very literally. When I say to pick out something that matches, please believe he's going to LITERALLY pick out something that matches. Photo evidence above. Red shirt. It MUST go with red shorts, right? It matches! Yes, this is with each and every outfit. So when you see Ryder dressed in blue shirt with blue shorts, green shirt with green shorts, you get my drift. This is why!<br />

We were trying to take our friends a housewarming dinner (my favorite housewarming dinner - PIZZA!!!) and Rhodes couldn't take the domino-licous fumes any longer. He had to dig in! (I didn't complain when he only took a few bites).<br />

When Ryder is going somewhere he feels he should look "handsome" he will wear a hat. Better believe if Ryder wears one, Rhodes better find one for himself.<br />

Then, the next day she was coming over and first stopped by my moms because it's on the way. I got the scariest call from my mom that she had a wreck right as she was turning left into the neighborhood. Her car was totaled and she was taken by ambulance to the ER. She didn't even remember the wreck :( A sweet National Guard man pulled over to help and that's his shirt in her lap that he took right off his own body to help her stop the bleeding on her head.<br />

Ryder said he was nervous to go see Kayla, but he was so sweet when he got in there. When my mom walked us out to the car when we left, the last thing he said to her before she shut the door was, "CC, take care of Kayla, ok?"<br />

Then, unfortunately I had to drag him to the nail salon. I was leaving the next day for the beach and believe me, a pedicure was necessary. Oh, he didn't mind. He would choose movies on the iPad before anything in the world. So I didn't feel too guilty for dragging him along. Does he look concerned to you?<br />

<br />
And to end the day, we went to the grocery store. Not because I needed anything, because I didn't. But because that whole week I told Ryder they had just gotten kids carts and that I would take him. Big mistake because sometimes I forget he doesn't forget anything. ANYTHING! So that afternoon I told him we would go and i would let him pick out five things. I think this experience can go down as the top five best times of his life thus far.<br />

While I was gone to the beach, John Michael got a little antsy. Stir crazy is an understatement. He felt they needed some excitement so he decided on this contraption. It's actually been very nice to have late in the afternoon when they are bored but it's steaming hot outside. They stay in for a long time.<br />

I've been putting it off for over a month, but the heat has gotten to me and I decided it was high time we join a pool. Well, Ryder jumped right in. Rhodes screamed and cried. Hates it. <br />

And what's worse? He hated his floatie more than he hated the water. So when he actually did want to get in, he refused the floatie. All the while I'm trying to keep him from jumping in the pool and keep an eye on ole' Michael Phelps over there, who, by the way, can't swim without a floatie either. It was quite a situation. I really give major props to all you moms who take multiple children to the pool, especially when none of them can actually swim!<br />

He did ease his way in eventually, just without the floatie, so I couldn't leave his side. But Ryder would run away to go down the slide and then I couldn't find him through all the other kids. But if I tried to pick Rhodes up from the side of the pool he would run away and I was scared he was going to fall in. Never ending story here. I'm just glad they have life guards there, that's all I'm going to say. It's stressing me out just talking about it.</div>

Another perk of joining the pool is that you must join the gym to join the pool. I really didn't want to join the gym because I don't like lifting weights and I don't like running laps. So what else would I do at the gym? Well, I didn't realize they had all kids of classes. And not your Richard Simmons aerobics either. I took a HIIT class and pretty much fell in love. I felt like a rubber band and like I might collapse for hours and hours after I finished, and when I woke up this morning, I couldn't even cough without pain. And don't even let me go into what pain ripped through my abs when I sneezed. But it was awesome. I think I've found my niche. I even forced myself to go again this morning despite the full body pain. Had to document my first class. I don't know how the camera didn't pick up my tomato red face. I looked like a train wreck.</div>

He took another hearing test to see if the clogged up fluid was the problem with the previous hearing test failure. He did much, much better. His left ear was still a little sketchy but they feel like just with his age it is hard to test. We will re-test in 6 months. <br />

He is talking like a charm now. His words still sound funny, almost like someone with a hearing impairment, but I think that's just because that is how he has heard them this whole time. For instance, when he sees Mickey Mouse come on TV, he'll say what sounds like "mowh" (rhyme with cow). And if he sees a picture of a house, or when we pull up to our house, he'll say what sounds like "how." New favorites are bubbles, house, balloon, show, golf cart, eat, juice, hotdog, bird, high (when pointing up), sky, cloud, mine (uh oh), flower, outside, slide, frog, and more I can't think of. But my FAVORITE.... we say.... "Love you!" Rhodes says... "Toooooo!!!!!" And another, we'll say "time to eat (or fill in the blank)" and he says "OH-TAAAAAY"<br />

Ryder has been anti-litter from the moment he could speak. John Michael engrained in him long ago that littering is terrible and that Wilson's don't litter. He's been asking for some "grabbers like <a href="http://www.wearethelamars.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Ford's</a>" for a good while. The day he got them he was ready to go to work.<br />

While picking up litter, he asked in all seriousness, "I just don't understand. Why would anyone do this to our havitat?" (Habitat) Then, he proceeded to say this, "Mom want me to tell you something that'll make you so sad? Did you know some people throw trash in WATER??? Water is a havitat to lots of reptiles. You know, crocodiles, fish, turtles, whales, sharks - sharks are my favorite sea creature."<br />

Rhodes enjoys digging in our pantry and pulling every snack he sees off the shelf and yelling, yes yelling over and over again to "omen it, omen it, omen it, omen it" (open it). I've started ignoring him hoping he'll change his mind because really, we don't need a box of fruit snacks, a bag of chips, m&ms, crackers, and gummy worms at 7:30 p.m. (we eat real healthy over here). He's caught on to me because he's figured out if I won't omen-it, he will carry it over to the living room and omen-it himself. And that's how 7,000 goldfish ended up on my rug.<br />

Ryder eats all his meals at our counter when he's eating alone, but if they are eating together he'll sit at the little table with Rhodes. Rhodes of course is dying to be big and eat up there so I let it be. He was thrilled. And Ryder was thrilled with his new peanut butter cheerios which he lovingly named, "super duper mouth crunchers." He told me to be sure to buy some more super duper mouth crunchers next time I went to Kroger.<br />

We have only had a few tball games this season due to so many rainouts. As in, I think they've only had 3 games... and there is only one more. Rhodes isn't the easiest baby in the stands.

Our sweet and precious buddy, Nora Grace (Noris Grace as Ryder calls her??) surprised him for one of his games. If you will remember, she is the precious soul who accompanied us on our family beach trip last summer...and helped us...A LOT!!!<br />

Not gonna lie. I'm real anal about keeping a clean house. I clean while the boys nap instead of just relaxing. But lately, since it's been real pretty out, I'm no stranger to a beach chair, the sunshine and a good book. Until the rascals wake up and take my spot!<br />

Real excited about our garden. A couple families in our neighborhood have gone in together and planted a large and luscious garden full of goodies! Now I'm just ready to see the fruit of their hard work... no pun intended.<br />

Welp. The time has come and I have entered the world of the 30's. I hear it only gets better! John Michael and I took a sweet little vacay just the two of us. No better way to spend my 30th! First stop was Fairhope, AL. We had never been. <br />

We stopped by a fun bookstore downtown. I got The Goldfinch because I just can't stop hearing about it. It's nearly 800 pages. I'm currently on somewhere around 735 and I'm still trying to figure out what all the rave is about. John Michael picked a WW2 survivor book and also some kind of boring non-fiction business "let's be positive" book, he's a sucker for those.<br />

The next morning we got up bright and early - 6 a.m. to be exact - and went for a jog down to the pier and back and had a tasty breakfast. Then it was go time. Beach bound. Until five minutes down the road I realized I wasn't wearing my wedding rings... and they weren't in my jewelry bag. Or any of my bags for that matter. So, back to the hotel. They were tucked safely underneath a wash rag by the sink.<br />
<br />
Then. Oh, then. What's that saying? When pigs fly? When "heck" freezes over? When the sun rises in the west? We pulled right on in to town and had a nice little lunch next to our place. We couldn't get in for a couple more hours so John Michael suggested a pedicure. For two!!! Say what? Yes. I know it was my birthday and all, and he was totally trying to schmooze me all weekend. But this? This tops it all! All along I've known he'd always secretly wanted to get his feet rubbed and scratched and all that good stuff they do in the pedicure chair, who wouldn't? But he would never do it in the great state of Mississippi! Now I know what our new vacation go-to is!<br />

We drove on over to Grayton, just a few miles down the road. Shorty's was the choice for appetizers before dinner. Lots of crazy locals there. And one in particular who brings her bird everywhere she goes. The poor bird even has a Facebook page. And a business card. I'm serious. No, I did not friend request her like I said I would in order to have a picture made.<br />

Bird's mama told me that it could bite a finger off, but that it wouldn't bite mine, no way. Then she proceeded to feed it something equivalent to a small boulder and the bird bit right through it. I gave her back immediately.<br />

We pulled out of our condo, or shall I say studio (because it was just one big room), at 7:15 a.m. Sign of two parents who are dying to see their babies? Ohhhh we missed them. We were ready to come home two of the four nights in when we got a phone call from a hysterical Ryder who missed us badly. But we fought through it.</div>

Ryder had his end of year school program where they sang lots of precious songs. This is the grand entrance :) Well, for some reason I thought they'd be wearing their school field trip shirts (which stay at school) so I let him pick out his own clothes, as I have been doing recently, because he asks to. John Michael was quite embarrassed with his ensemble. Kept asking me why he was wearing a tshirt with all the other kids were dressed up. You see who cares about the important things in life!<br />

After Ryder's crying episode while we were gone, we promised him we would bring him home a great prize. This dried him up real quick! Well on the way home we stopped by Dollar Tree and bought ten things, $10. Can't beat it! Ryder enjoys going down the hill and digging up bugs, worms, dirt, whatever he can find. I knew this bug kit would be a winner!<br />

And then Ryder spotted a turtle. He used to have a large fear of creatures. But one way or another, he has overcome that fear. I catch him daily smashing spiders and picking up worms and all the little things boys love. <br />

Two friends from church are adopting a special needs child from India. We were able to go a fundraiser to help bring her home, "Art for Adoption."

Ryder ran nearly a mile without stopping. Has never run in his life. He was beat red (get it from his mama) and I had to lure him into the golf cart with a cold juice box. He didn't want to give up. Finally, John Michael had to stop and get in to appease Ryder. That boy is determined. Love him so. <br />

For dinner and partly Lindsey's birthday, the two of us and our four boys went out for pizza while our hubs fished. Lucky for Ryder and Levi, the Easter bunny was there. Not lucky for all the families trying to enjoy a nice quiet meal because these two were acting like they were in Disneyworld. <br />

Rhodes got his tubes last Friday. Everything went great. The doctor said that his blockage was worse than it was at his appointment 2 weeks prior. He said Rhodes' ears were at 100% fluid (was about 85% at the appointment). In other words, he wasn't hearing jack!!!<br />

He's had tubes for a little over a week and I can definitely tell a difference. He's saying alot more and seems to be able to communicate and understand us so much better. He's also a much happier baby! We were having a time there for a couple months where he would just scream and throw fits lots and lots throughout the day. I was seriously feeling like I was going to lose my mind. But over the past week things have calmed down alot here at the Wilson house. Between the tubes and the prayers from my mom and dad who allowed me to let my frustrations out to them, things are looking up!!!<br />

The new cute thing Rhodes does is to bring us something that is in a package, like candy, food, etc. and say open it, open it. But it comes out like "ohminit, ohminit." It's precious. I love how he's finding his words how.<br />
<br />
<br />
Couldn't believe how well Rhodes came out of anesthesia. They usually wake up so fussy! We drove through chickfila and got this sweet boy some chicken biscuits and fruit. <br />

Rhodes kept a death grip on his Easter basket when I picked him up from school. I couldn't even budge it when he conked out in the car.<br />

This guy. We went to Walmart so I could get some plants and of course Ryder was ticked because he hates Walmart, Target, any of these places. I told him he could spend some of his piggy bank money to get anything he wanted and of all things in Walmart, he picked a cactus plant. I tried to talk him out of it but he wouldn't budge. He said he'll use it as a shield and he will keep it on his nightstand and poke bad guys if they break in. Silly fella.<br />

Friday afternoon we had a egg hunt with all of my girlfriends. Rhodes fell asleep on the way there and I just laid him down on Maghen's bed while we continued the party. Couldn't believe he slept like that in her bright room and with all the noise from everyone.<br />

Luckily he woke up in a good mood (this is very rare) but he just clung to me for a good 30 minutes and was not a bit interested in hunting eggs. Hence the one egg in his basket :)<br />

After we took this picture we told Ryder to put some eggs in two of the little one's baskets since they didn't have much. He said OK! Then he went around picking a couple eggs out of each basket to add to theirs. Not from his own! Stingy little thing!</div>

And on another note, anyone need any candy-filled eggs? Between the 10 egg hunts we attended, we could host a city-wide egg hunt at our house next year!!! Help! I have a bathing suit to get into people!</div>

<br />
I told Ryder the weather would be bad this weekend. He responds, "Are you telling me we'll be having the TARNADO weather?"<br />
<br />
"I want a graNILLA bar for breakfast. Hey mom what's your favorite granilla bar?"<br />
<br />
"Mom, do I have Armor Armor clothes? So and so has Armor Armor pants and shirts." (Don't start with the brands just yet, please).<br />
<br />
Ryder came out of his room 5 minutes after I put him down for nap. He was stretching and really trying to do a good acting job like he had just woken up. He said that he just took a great nap. I said you've only been in there for five minutes, you didn't fall asleep. He quickly replied, "Let's get something straight. My nap is over. Is that ok?" (That's actually not supposed to be funny, so I didn't let him see me giggle on that one. And we talked about respecting your parents after that little comment).<br />
<br />
He likes to begin his stories with: This might sound crazy, but (fill in the blank with some random fact that's not "crazy" in the least. Something like, "This might sound crazy, but I'm done with my milk." He also will say, "This might sound hilarious, but ........."<br />

I was crazy enough to take the boys to a consignment sale that was packed to the max and had a 45 min to one hour wait in the check out line. I am lucky to have a big boy who loves nothing more than entertaining his baby. They made the wait enjoyable for me when it should've been the other way around. I love these boys so much.</div>

Rhodes is so in love with hugs. All the time John Michael will yell out "Family Hug!!!" and the boys start running toward us and just squeeze us with all they've got. Rhodes in his little voice will say "huuuuuuuuh" (hug) and grin so big with his arms wide open.<br />

Later that day, it was a beautiful thing. John Michael was away on his yearly golf trip to Birmingham and my sweet inlaws offered to keep the boys Friday night. After I dropped them off I shopped and shopped. Then I decided it was time for a pedicure, so I dropped by around 7 pm to do that. Then I was hungry so I ordered a pizza and picked it up still wearing my pedi-flops. Then I came home and laid on the couch and watched TV. It was glorious.<br />

Then 24 hours later I got my sweet boys back and we played and played and wore ourselves out so we would have a GOOD nights sleep! Ryder went plucking at trees because he said I looked like I needed to be fanned off.<br />

Rhodes is in and out of the doctor every few weeks for an ear infection, a cold, or just whatever he can catch. So he knows all about what this saline spray does. And he knows how to use it!<br />

I am somebody I never used to be. I am a last minute person now. When I worked, I was a 3 week plan ahead person. This is probably because I had a lot more "free time" when I was a working mom (because of my particular job, let me clarify!) Anyway, I checked the calendar on Wednesday to see that Pirate Day was the next day. Where do you buy costumes in March? Always check the party aisle at Target! (ok, maybe I spend too much time at Target). Found a pack of 10 eye patches and a pirate hat. So we had some left over to play dress up with at home.<br />

Wednesday I took Rhodes to the ENT. The same one who did Ryder's tubes. Rhodes has had seven ear infections and quite frankly I'm tired of them. And I know he's got to be. While I was there I figured I would mention that he's not a huge talker.<br />

<br />
Well I'm glad I did. The doctor suggested we do a hearing test just to see. Turns out Rhodes is considered deaf (not truly deaf, but on the level of someone who is deaf), due to all the fluid in his ears that won't clear with medicine alone. In the words of his doctor, his hearing is absolutely terrible. Perfect hearing scores a zero. Hearing next to nothing scores a 30. Rhodes scored a 42. Dr. Reed asked me to plug my ears as tight as I could while he continued to talk. I could hear a little bit of noise, but it was extremely muffled and I certainly couldn't make out what he was saying. He said that was equivalent to a "30." And Rhodes scored a 42??? <br />

<br />
It's confusing to me because Rhodes follows instructions pretty well. And he can say 20+ words. Might as well document them (golf cart, car, cow, dog, mickey mouse, juice, milk, hug, shirt, socks, shoes, school, ryder, all grandparents names, mama, daddy, teeth, eyes, nose, snack, eat, water, etc. Now, let me follow that by saying they are NOT pronounced like they are supposed to be! They sound a little odd and probably only John Michael and I know what he is saying. So either he learned these words during the time he was on his antibiotics for his ear infections and his ears were actually clear, or he's just picked them up when he's been in my lap and I've been talking in his ear. I really don't know. Either way, I am so glad we figured this out before it could've gotten worse. He's 20 months old and if it would've gone any further, who knows how long it would have taken him to catch up on his vocab.<br />
<br />
His tubes are scheduled for next Friday (April 11) and I am hoping and praying that this will fix him.<br />
<br />
Ryder typically gets up before anybody else in the house. Not long after he wakes up, Rhodes is hollering too. Our morning usually goes like this... JM and I are rushing to get ready in the bathroom and the boys are out in the living room drinking milk and watching TV, waiting on one of us to come in and fix them breakfast. Friday morning Ryder and Rhodes came in while we were getting ready. Ryder had a gigantic grin on his face and said that we didn't need to worry about feeding Rhodes breakfast, because he went ahead and fed him (???) Then he proudly announced that he opened a sucker for Rhodes for breakfast. I tell you, Rhodes is so spoiled by that brother of his.<br />

Then Gaines came to spend the night. It was big time for these two. While they were playing outside when we got home, Ryder found a worm that he couldn't part with. It was only later (bed time) that he informed me Mr. Worm was tucked safely in the pocket of his shorts. <br />

I didn't think I would ever get them to wind down. But finally after lots of back scratching and lullabies, at 9:45 I heard the sweet sound of heavy breathing.<br />

The next morning they both came shuffling in our bedroom justa talking to eachother and rubbing their eyes and yawning. They announced they were starving and ready for breakfast! They watched a little iPad while I made pancakes. Birthdays call for pancakes.<br />

When he's in action, he's full blown sweat attack. Recently said: I'm so sweaty I could boil an egg!<br />
<br />
I love Rhodes' organizational skills when it comes to puzzle playing. Ryder truly had to leave the room so he wouldn't lose his religion over the mess. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I am not a morning person. Rhodes isn't particularly a morning person either, but clearly he doesn't consider the hours of 3-5 a.m. morning. He must consider those late night.... or party time. Whatever they may be. I've been enjoying the sunrise with this guy though. He's had 2 ear infections back to back (don't get excited, we are up to seven total). And we've enjoyed lots of mid-night time together. And by mid-night, I do mean middle of the night. Me and John Michael do take turns with this situation, which I am ever so grateful for.<br />

Rhodes isn't what you would describe as a man of many words, but he knows exactly what to do in a situation, no speaking necessary. We took a solo trip to the grocery and as soon as I pulled up to the checkout counter he started unloading for me. <br />

And then when we got home and watched TV for a bit, my angels both grabbed ahold of my hand and held on for dear life. I am loved. I am BLESSED!<br />

I helped chaperone Ryder's field trip to the Natural Science Museum. This was hog heaven for Ryder. I believe he was the only child who really gave a mess about what the speaker had to say, what with the hand raising, question asking, and fact interjecting every other minute. Sometimes I ask myself, why can't he just be a kid!!!???<br />

Rhodes was not as thrilled with "nature" as Ryder liked to call the event. I overheard him yell to his classmates, "Come on guys, let's go learn about NATURE!!!"<br />

Ryder has been on me about planting some flowers in the backyard. Mainly so he can plant them just to pick them for me (which is very sweet by the way). So we finally went to buy some plants for Ryder to plant in pots. He is sure to water them each and every day. He even wanted me to take his picture by his masterpiece to send to his Nanni because they have a mutual love for planting :)<br />

Ryder was very concerned with drinking out of his thermos so his tee tee wouldn't be yellow!!! (we tell him if his tee tee is ever yellow he is dehydrated and this is very dangerous). So now he reports on the situation each time he goes. Backfired on us.<br />

Rhodes was really not having much of this "Ryder in the spotlight" junk. So as soon as he could break free to the field, it was on. Didn't take long for him to eye Ryder's thermos.<br />

So I made an appointment while I was at the museum. I was right. Not only had his right ear not cleared up from 10 days before, but it had gotten worse, and we added a good ole infection on the left side too. We love double ear infections over here at the Wilson home!<br />

Well Rhodes got a Rocephin shot and was good as gold once he woke up from his nap. And the Lamar's came back over for round two of fun! I have never met two four year olds who were more alike than Ryder and Ford. Their most common interest is Wild Kratts (a show on PBS). Martin and Chris Kratt are the hosts of the show and prior to their visit, Ryder and Ford were sending each other video texts acting out the parts as though Ford was Martin and Ryder was Chris. It was hysterical, really.</div>

<br />
When Ford arrived he was in full Martin attire, being he was in a green shirt and khakis. Therefore, Chris (Ryder) needed to wear his navy shirt and khakis. The Kratt's uniform for each episode. We weren't expecting rain, but that didn't interfere with the creature adventures. That is until Ford sloshed Ryder with mud!!! <br />

Ryder is still nowhere near that stage where he cares what I dress him in. I could put him in a purple long sleeve button up and orange sweat pants and I promise you, he would never notice. So I love the days we are running late and I ask him to go dress hijmself. This particular afternoon he's looking swell in his St. Louis Cardinals tee shirt, black and white MisTeeVus pants, and Vans.<br />

Ryder loves dessert like no other. He normally takes one bite of his meal before deeming it necessary to ask what's for dessert. It's truly rare for him to act out, but this night his mouth must've been watering for some girl scout cookies! I came back to the kitchen to find him chowing down on these lemon cookies with a plate full of pizza! No sireeee!!! Not in my kitchen!<br />

Our backyard looks like the junkyard version of ToysRus. - NOT the catalogue version. A bunch of tractors, shovels, balls, riding toys, just JUNK scattered everywhere. I finally had enough of it and instead of chunking it all out of frustration, we got a rather large toy box. Now can you guess what gets put in the toy box? Noooo, not the junk! Just another place for the kids to play!<br />

Perfect example. Ryder puts up a big fight about dressing himself every morning. Here you see him whining on the floor because he can't get his socks on. Not only did Rhodes bring me a pair of underwear to put on (like Ryder's), he brought me a sock too, and laid down right beside Ryder. He wanted to do exactly what his big brother was doing.<br />

You can believe that Ryder's discovery made his golf outing much more exciting. A map of the course! Oh, he had a good time with this map alright.<br />

<br />
Today's fact:<br />
<br />
Did you know that black thing in the center of your eye is called your people?<br />
<br />
It's called your pupil.<br />
<br />
No, it's called your people. And when you are in the light, it is small. But when it gets dark, it gets large.<br />
<br />
Our Rhodes at 19 months:<br />
Weighs 24 lb<br />
Takes one long nap a day, usually around 10-1 or so.<br />
Has finally started to say a few things that he sees such as socks, boots, hot (for food or fire), ahhhda (Ryder), cheese, miiiiink (milk), apple, uuhhhhncce (juice), bye, woof (dog). Slowly but surely we are speaking!!! About time!<br />
When we say bath time he runs to the bathtub and starts tugging on his clothes and diaper.<br />
When we say lets go outside he hauls it to the back door.<br />
Sometimes when he's pooping in his diaper and he's all squatted over he'll look up with a grin and say pooooooh!<br />
<br />
Ryder's favorite game around the house is chase or hide and seek. I usually opt for hide and seek because I don't particularly like to run around the house for 20 minutes straight. Too tired for all that.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ryder is a great hider...</div>

This little incident broke my heart. Ryder has about given up on napping but I still insist on "rest time" so I can have my own mama time. This day I let him lay on the couch and watch something on the iPad while I painted furniture in the garage. I came in for something and the door wouldn't budge. I pushed harder and saw Ryder had made himself a little pallet outside the garage door. I asked him why he was laying there and he said that he wanted to be close to me :((( I scooped him right up and put my painting on hold until he was asleep that night. Such a sweet boy.<br />

Bird watching is on our daily agenda. Ryder is like a bird encyclopedia. All credit goes to Wild Kratts. If you have a boy and you haven't watched this show on PBS, you must. Ryder has seriously learned the most interesting things from this show. He is absolutely, positively, certified obsessed.<br />

Me and OCD decided to clean up the play room. But before OCD would put the blocks in the basket, he first had to organize them by color. And notice how he found something that matched each group of blocks to set the blocks on. <br />

Well five months after Ryder's fourth birthday, we made a four year old check up appointment. I didn't know we were supposed to go at 4 years old. Three shots and a flu shot happened at this appointment and it was one of the top 3 saddest things to watch. He was having a conniption fit. <br />

There is no denying that I completely failed at keeping my blog up lately. I have two things to blame it on though. It's called Scandal. And 24. I recently got Netflix and wanted to get in the loop with these TV series I keep hearing about. So I started Scandal. And finished in about 9 days. Next I started 24, and it took me about a week to get to season 2. So now when I am on my computer, I'm watching 24. I can't force myself to blog because I can't peel my eyes away from the show. It's a problem. <br />
<br />
But I was able to peel myself away to upload these pictures. This is my babies' "baby book" after all. I can do this!!! <br />

I do love being this boy's mama. He always wants to make me look "pretty" he says. This day he wanted to bring me flowers for my hair. He always asks me to wear dresses and heels. He said he likes it when I dress up. He tells me I am the prettiest mama he could ever have. I will never turn down a compliment from his sweet little heart. And in the same breath he brought me crickets. Gotta love it!<br />

When Rhodes wakes up in the night, I know it's an ear infection. He doesn't get fever with ear infections. He doesn't have trouble drinking or eating. But he will wake up around 2 a.m. And I always know. Thursday morning he woke up around 3 a.m. and never went back to sleep. So when I went to pick him up from school he had conked out during lunch. I knew it was time to make a doctor's appointment and of course I was right. Ear infection!<br />

Ryder constantly talks about getting strong and working out. Seriously don't know where he gets this workout ethic because it's not from us. On this afternoon he was "marathoning" around the backyard while I counted his laps. Rhodes is never far behind.<br />

We measure the boys on one of the walls in the garage. We last measured on Ryder's birthday in September and measured again the other day and were so surprised to find that boys had grown so much! Ryder grew 1 1/2 inches in 4 months. That's not even right.</div>

He's grown quite independent lately, including dressing himself. Jacket is fine, twisted pants and summer shoes with socks is a little awkward.<br />

Last Tuesday I moved into a bigger booth and I needed to run a few more things up there Friday afternoon. As much as John Michael and Ryder (who calls it "the boring booth") can't stand doing this type thing, I guess they thought it was better than sitting at home without mama. So they all drove me over. Ryder went to shopping right away and found the perfect accessory. <br />

Ryder and his imagination packed two suitcases and dressed up as a super hero for the big "trip" he was taking to the moon. He is so entertaining, it's just ridiculous. I've already discussed cutting off our cable with John Michael. What's the point? We have our own reality show with this one.<br />

My sweet grandmother passed away last Saturday. She has had a few years with dementia and has had such a hard time. I am sooo incredibly blessed with a huge and amazing family. My grandmother had nine wonderful children and I am so lucky to call all of them my aunts and uncles. She had 5 boys first, and then 4 girls, all almost one year apart! Hard to believe, right? Here is a precious picture I was able to catch of the four sisters watching as they closed her casket for the last time. There is so much love in this family.<br />

Hide and go seek is a family favorite in my home. Rhodes took it to the next level when he got a good hiding spot in the pantry with the door closed and totally freaked me out when I couldn't find him anywhere. <br />

Ryder and Rhodes play great together which allows me to get things done around the house. This particular afternoon I heard them playing in the bathroom (for whatever reason) and just died out laughing when I heard Ryder say, "Who needs parents when you've got a little brother?" Sooo sweet, I can't stand it.<br />

Rhodes is a whopping 18 months! Let's see. At his check up he was 75% head, 50% height and 40% weight. I had felt like he wasn't gaining much weight and his doctor confirmed it for me. She said it's pretty normal for this age to stay pretty much the same in weight but that he was also definitely below average. Not sure what the deal is with that but, it is what it is. She said since he's up in head and height that it's nothing to worry about. At his appointment I learned that he had an ear infection, I think this is his 5th or 6th.

Didn't take Ryder but a couple minutes to strip down and put his new camo gear on that he got that day. That and a little harmonica made for a good afternoon.<br />

Ryder and his dinosaurs are something else. I'm telling you the truth. He claims he wants to be a paleontologist. He hunts for dinosaur bones and fossils outside. Here he was setting up a battle between carnivores and herbivores and don't forget the omnivores (omni-what????)<br />

John Michael and I took a one nighter to Natchez for New Years Eve. We had a great time together, despite the look on our face. Apparently downtown Natchez is the capital of antiques and thrift stores, so I think I wore him out a little bit during the day.<br />

John Michael's guts in a bag. I like deer meat. I do. But when he brings home a walmart sack full of fresh killed deer dripping blood all along the way, that just about does it for me.<br />

I don't know what show Ryder watched where the main character kept his room clean (this is what I am assuming happened), but for the past two weeks, he has been obsessed with "tidying up his room." If I or Rhodes, or anyone really, drops anything on his floor, he near has a panic attack. And several times a day he asks me to come in to inspect how clean his room is. <br />

Rhodes is nearing 18 months and he has quite the personality. When he's not feeling the situation he will run. When it's bedtime, he runs away. When it's time to eat, he runs in the opposite direction. When it's time to change his diaper, he makes a run for the garage door. When he doesn't like what he has to eat and he's stuck in the highchair and can't run, he instead flicks it off of his plate.<br />

I do love having three outside loving boys in my house. Who also love a good project. Because they have really come in handy with my work lately. My four year old in particular loves helping his mama with projects. He's such a sweet boy. He always asks me how he can help me do this or that. And he does not like to leave me outside in the garage by myself. He keeps me in good company while I work.</div>

If you have a weak stomach don't look. But I guess when you are OBSESSED with TV, you just throw up all over the floor without trying to make it to the toilet, and then continue watching your show without missing a beat. WHAT?<br />

Christmas Eve service at Pinelake. Ryder was infatuated with Jeffrey's beard. Until we got to Salsa's afterwards and he saw a man with a long beard. And screamed and pointed, "WOAH. That man's beard is HUGE!!!" The nice man just smiled and waved.<br />

So Jeffrey has grown this beard and he knows Anna Terrell doesn't like it. But it's part of his plan. So fast forward to Christmas Day. Anna Terrell opens a gift with her name on it and it's beard trimmers. She says, "did you wrap these for me so I could trim your beard finally?" He says yes. So she just kind of laughs and turns her head to grab the next gift to hand out. In the mean time Jeffrey has dropped down on one knee and says, "figured you'd need these trim my beard for upcoming wedding festivities. Will you marry me, Anna Terrell?" You can see her face here. She was so surprised!!!<br />

But I think I could make it a lot easier with a real mixer instead of my sad hand held. hint hint!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I said I love to bake, but I never said I was a clean baker. My kitchen is always a disaster when I cook. I am working on it though.

We do have an elf. Ryder calls him Lucky. I'm not a Pinterest elf on the shelf junkie, but we do move him around. Or John Michael does :) One day though, I did remember to move him. And I did make a little effort this go-round. After spelling Ryder's name out in "snow" I stuck him in a candle and told Ryder he had to warm his booty up after shedding all that snow. Ryder then looked over at my canister full of flour and said.... "That's flour."<br />

Just love my book worm. One day, when Ryder is old enough to read, we will spend hours in the library reading our own books, but sitting together. While John Michael and Rhodes hunt and play sports and other manly stuff like that. I guarantee it.<br />

Ya'll. I did something that I haven't done since becoming a stay at home mom, which was February 1. I dropped them off and came straight home instead of running errands. And then I laid on the couch. And read my book. I really did! I didn't even sweep the floor or fold clothes! It was so wonderful.<br />

Lots of excitement tonight as Ryder got his arm stuck in the freezer handle. Thank the LORD John Michael was home. I tried pulling his arm out a few times before yelling for help. I literally would've had to call 911. Santa may bring me a tool box this year :/<br />

Ryder loves to try and get in trouble and then tell on himself. I think he thought he was in trouble here for putting on John Michael's boots. It's like he's begging to get punished. He literally just stood there staring at me like aren't I doing something wrong?<br />

I was asked to submit a guest post to Mississippi Women Bloggers a bit ago. You can read that post <a href="http://www.mississippiwomenbloggers.com/cream-cheese-danish-foodie-friday-christmas-brunch-edition/" target="_blank">here</a>. (And if you are a Mississippi blogger, sign up!) Anyway, a bio and photo were to be included and lawd knows I haven't had any family photos made in a good few years. I made John Michael snap a few selfies in the back yard. Awkward! At least I pulled the boys in for a few.<br />

Yes, I'm a stay at home mom. There are two days a week my kids are at school from 9-2. But one of those days I'm working. So, now I have one day from 9-2 where I can get anything and everything done. Alone. Without getting two kids in and out of carseats at five different locations. That would be Tuesdays. I cherish Tuesdays from 9-2.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As if I'm not crazy enough. As if I don't over volunteer myself. As if I don't have two kids who need some major TLC. As if I don't already have twelve loads of laundry to do or a sink full of dishes or sheets that need to be washed. But deep down, I'm a working girl. So, I've decided I need to take on something else. </div>

A new business.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Like mother, like daughter. I started an antique and interiors booth business. As in, I now have a booth at the Antique Mall of the South. As of two weeks ago. My mom has been doing this for a while now, and she has mentioned that I get involved numerous times. I always blow it off. Well, three weeks ago she mentioned it again. I blew it off. Then I got to thinking - why not? So, in seven days, I gathered enough inventory and my booth was in business. All, and I mean all, the credit goes to GOD for sure. I did a lot of praying that week and even felt selfish for praying for something that was so miniscule. But God cares about the small things too, that's for sure. And the second most credit goes to my mom. We stayed up some late nights, and she let me do some good shopping in her garage and storage unit!!! And third, my sister kept my boys all day the day I moved in and I absolutely could not have done this without some child-watchin'. Also, thanks to George for helping me staple gun fabric all over my booth wall and to my surprise guest, Devin for helping us move in furniture. What a whirlwind Saturday!!!</div>

And now, <u>Fresh Picked</u> is officially in business. And I've got a move-in sale going in right now too, the Snowflake Sale, everything in my booth is 20% off! Come shop!</div>
