SLACKER!

I am so behind on my blog that I don't even know where to begin....

My boys are so stinkin' adorable and are keeping me extremely busy! LOVE THEM!

Gavin has 11 teeth - he is missing a tooth on the bottom, which is why he doesn't have an even number of teeth yet! He's running around everywhere and loves his daddy! HE is a Daddy's boy- that's for sure! He is talking more and more everyday.

Some of our favorite things he says:

Hallelujah - and he says it pretty darn well... sounds like Ah-yay-you-ya (Bobby always belts out the Hallelujah song. Brody loves it! So, now Brody belts it out as well, which, naturally results in Gavin following their example! It's not too common to hear an 18 month old baby sing the song) :)

No-no
uh-huh! (this is how he says yes, and it's so darn cute!)
cookie - gogo, gokie
ball
footbal - buball
golf - gol
golfball - golgol
brody
mama
dadda
nana
grandma - mah-ma
grandpa - gampa
drink - gwee
juice
eat
... the list goes on, but I think that's a good start for catching myself up on the blog!

Brody goes to preschool now and loves it!
He goes twice a week for 2 hours. When I drop him off he gives me a kiss and asks what I'm going to do while he's at school. I usually tell him I'm going to take Gavin home to take a nap- and that's what we do for those 2 hours!
When I pick him up he tells me what he did at school that day. I don't know why, but I'm pretty shocked at how much he learns each day. I know he's a smart kid, but I must not realize how big he actually is. He is still my baby, but he's my baby who can tell me about Christopher Columbus and Jack and Jill... things I can hardly remember!
BTW- he told me that Christopher Columbus came over on a boat and found pineapple and popcorn... I didn't remember that, but I don't doubt him one bit :) I'm in for a rude awakening when he's coming home with actual homework!

Bobby just finished his first year of his MBA. I'm so proud of him. He has quite the schedule and it's pretty exhausting. He will be done, FOR GOOD, next December. The countdown begins!!
It will be so nice to have him come home from work and not have to worry about school. He works full time and goes to school 2 nights a week, BUSY, BUSY!!

As for me, I am enjoying staying at home with my kiddies! They are so much fun! I've been selling essential oils and they've been so interesting to learn about. I love telling people about them. My website is on the side bar if you're interested in them. I took the boys on a walk a while ago and Brody said "we're going on a walk to your friends house to talk about oils?!"
Bobby said it was time for the boys to be with Daddy more!

Brody: I a pirate!! I a pirate!!

Me: you're a pirate?!

Brody: No, I the golf channel!

Seriously...

we're not racist (one of my BFF's is black, well brown, but you get the point!)

Today at Arden B (clothing store) a black girl was ringing up my clothes and talking to Brody:

Girl: How old are you?
Brody: (holds up 3 fingers)
Girl: you're 3?! wow!
Brody: (shakes his head yes)
Me: Can you tell her your name?
Brody: (shakes his head no)
Me: :) Tell her your name, silly!
Brody: No! She looks too dark!

Luckily this nice girl didn't take offense to my 3 year olds comment, she thought it was pretty funny! I talk about wanting to be dark alot- especially during the summer, so I think that's where he came up with that idea! My bad!

Funny

Bobby just came out of our bedroom laughing. This is what was so funny:

Brody: where are you going?
Bobby: to take the movie back.
Brody: oh! mommy's going to babysit?

April 2010- The "zoom"

My in-laws got season passes to the zoo this year so we've been a few times. Brody loves it! Gavin has a fun time looking at all of the animals and pointing at them. Kids make everything so much more fun!

We've been on the carousel a couple of times and every time we get on Brody picks the same seat- the peacock that is a bench and doesn't move at all. He's so funny!

April 2010- Brody's First T-ball game

Brody had a blast playing T-ball this spring! He was on the Diamond backs. He had 6 games (or so?) the weather wasn't the best in April/May so about half of his games were either canceled or very cold. It was still a lot of fun watching him play!

He had a hard time getting the hang of the game at first- whenever another player on his team got ahold of the ball in the outfield he would go and tackle them. He thought of it like football :) He learned quickly that you don't tackle in baseball.

He also enjoyed playing in the dirt while in the outfield. While he was in the dugout he would climb the fence. He's a busy, fun little boy!

During the last few games his coach would pitch the ball to the kids instead of having them hit it off of the T. He loved it and did a great job!

He loved getting a ticket after the game to go pick out a treat at the snack bar. His favorite things to get were: hot dogs, laffy taffy, ring pops, chips, and drinks!

We can't wait until next spring to start T-ball again!!

While I'm on here...

I just had to log on to invite some friends to the blog (Shout out to Kev and Mindy!!). I decided I would let you all know that I am still a blogger! Woot woot! And, I have some major catching up to do... as you know, I consider this thing my journal! I will get on and update soon... promise! Lots of pictures from our fun, finally warm, summer!! We've been keeping busy in the sun!

On a side note: I bought a new bathing suit today. Love it! I also bought a cute beach hat (or, pool hat since I live... well, not even close to a beach) anyway, when Bobby got home from work I decided to try on my new little ensemble for him and as I was putting on the hat Brody shouted "Oh!! You look... like a cowboy! You should ride a horse!" Hilarious kid, I tell ya! Hilarious!
