Hayden's First Time

We went swimming alst Saturday and Hayden got in for the forst time! I think it was a little cold for him, but he had fun. It was fun to see him splash around and play with Daddy! We'll hopefully go again real soon!

Give Me Some of your Tots!!!

You can always tell your kids aren't eating the way they should when you can pull into a fast food place and they immediately recognize where they are. It's especially bad when they can then request what it is they want from said restaurant. Well, it just so happens that this happened the other day. After we went swimming over at the Deaton's yesterday, we pulled through Sonic to get something to eat since we hadn't had lunch yet that day. Immediately Gavin requests tater tots, which he knows he can only get at Sonic. We tell him he can have some, but that he would need to be patient since the line was especially long. After waiting for a few minutes, (we still haven't ordered yet) Gavin starts whining for his tater tots. We then explain to him that we have to wait for the cars ahead of us to place their orders and get their food and then we can ask for tater tots, give them our money and then they would give us our food. He sits there listening intently and then plaintively asks, "Dad....is there no other way?" What a ham!

It's a Grub...

Gavin has really gotten into The Lion King lately. The other day, I fixed him some Ramen Noodles for lunch. As he was eating he slurped one into his mouth and then looked up at me and said...."MMM, slimy yet sassifying!" Love it!

UPDATE!

It never ceases to amaze me how quickly children heal. It hasn't even been a week since the tragic Drano incedent and look how much better Hayden's little legs are!

I am so greatful that we have the kind of knowledge in medicine that we have today and that what could have left horrible scarring, almost looks like it didn't happen at all! We are so blessed and I am greatful to my Father in Heaven for blessing Hayden with a quick recovery!

Review!

I loved this book! I cannot get over the imagination that Stephenie Meyer has. As I sat reading this book, I was a little jealous that I had not the mental abilities, nor the wherewithal to write something like this.

I will admit, it took me maybe the first 100 or so pages to really start getting into it, but once I was in....I didn't want to come back out. I feel sorry for my neglected kids and the mess that was my house and in retrospect, I probably should have had enough self control to put it down, but you do what you gotta do and yesterday....I HAD to read this book!

Just Keep Swimming....

Gavin had his first Swim lesson on Monday. It was a little rough as he didn't want to follow instructions very well and we did end up having to get out about 1/2 way through. But, he has gotten better and we only had to leave about 10 minutes early today.

His main teacher is super cute with the kids and she is extremely patient with Gavin. I think by the end of this week, he will be able to stay the entire time.

New Bed!!!

So, I decided that I was really sick of my old dingy bedspread and that it was time for an upgrade! I found this at Bed Bath and Beyond. It came with the the dust ruffle, two king shams, sheets and pillowcases.And the best part of it all was that it was on SALE!!! I found the three pillows in front at Walmart and I was pretty excited since they match perfectly with the everything else and were a lot cheaper then the ones that you could buy at BB&B. I love it and it changes the whole look of my room. Now, I just have to find some new curtains.....
