Water Table

 

 

A few weeks again when the weather was nice and warm and sunny. Kenny set up the water table that Tucker recieved from Grandma Sherrie for his first birthday. I sadly was at work when they had their first go with the water table. Lucky for me my husband loves me enough to take pictures of everything. It looks like they really enjoyed playing in the water.

I really enjoy the times that my boys play along together. It doesn't happen as often as I would like. Usually someone is getting picked on. But the times they do play together and actually get along with each other makes me very happy. On one night Tucker had discovered a mirror in my mom and dad's room and was having the greatest time discovering himself in the mirror. Colton also came in and was loving a flashlight he had found. It was so nice to spend time with everyone getting along. I really wish we had more times like these.

Time to Update

Wow. It has been a while. What have we been up to?

 Well, the boys both had their check ups on the same day. Kenny took them all by himself while I was working. He is such a brave man! I can't remember their stats (I wasn't there) but I know they are both growing great. While at the appointment the doctor discovered something in Colton's ear and told us he needed to see a specialist. Lucky for us Kenny's mom works for an ear, nose, and throat doctor's office. When we told her about it she scheduled an appointment right away and even took him on her one day off that she spends babysitting while I am at work. Love her! After that appointment she was told he needed to see another specialist. So she scheduled another appointment for him. Luckily for me I was able to go to that appointment. We discovered that he has congenital cholesteatoma in his right ear. It is a small mass that is attached to his ear drum. We are lucky that it was found at his check up and not found because he started to have problems from it. So his hearing is still great, unless mommy tells him not to do something he wants to do. He is scheduled to have surgery on May 18th to remove it.

Tucker had his first birthday. He is so cute. My sweet baby boy. He started taking a few steps around his birthday and now that he has figured out how to stand up without any help he is toddling around everywhere we go. He still only has three teeth. Stubborn top tooth doesn't want to push out. He is quite a joy to have around.

Kenny is still working hard on his work days and working hard on his days off babysitting the boys. We have found a new hobby to do together. Bowling. Strangely we both really enjoy bowling and have been going quite a lot recently. So if you ever want to go just give us a call.

I have started to train to run a 5k. I know I know you are all shocked. But I am determined to become more fit. I have also started a 100 push up challenge. I could only do 4 push ups when I did the initial test. I am doing better all ready. I have to say I am quite shocked to discover that doing push ups is more of a challenge to me than training for a 5k.

So that is what's going on with us. I have a handful of videos I want to post on my blog so keep an eye out for them. One of them will be little Tucker toddling around.

I a Good Singer

I finally a video of Colton singing. I love that after he finishes his song he says "I a good singer".

Things I Enjoy

Sometimes I get overwhelmed with life and I forget to take time to enjoy life. So I am taking this idea from another fellow blogger who does a seasonal 'loves' post. So here are some things that I enjoy.

Taking a long soaking tub and reading (usually a magazine, but every once in a while a Jane Austin)

Trying out new bright and bold eye shadows

Bath and Body Works Twilight Woods. I love taking a bath or shower before bedtime with my body wash and than slathering myself with the moisturizing cream and crawling into bed. I love the way I smell all night long

Opening up windows and letting all the fresh clean air in

Visiting with friends and family

My camouflage capri's. They are so comfortable, maybe not fashionable but I love them

Listening to Norah Jones and Missy Higgins. My new music loves
 

Feather hair clips. I love this new trend and I believe it is one that I will hold onto for on long time. Sorry to anyone who hates this

Listening in on the few moments that my boys get along

The moment when I realize that Kenny has come home from work. I get so excited to see him again. Sometimes yes, so he can help with the kids, but mostly because I really do miss him while he is gone and he still makes my heart beat faster when I see him

So what are some things you enjoy that seem to make life a little more bearable?
