Sunday Letters

This is something new that I hope to be able to do every Sunday. Each Sunday I will write a letter to my husband and two boys (and anyone else who I feel is deserving of a letter). I got this idea from another blog that I follow, and I think it will be so great to look back and remember what happened week by week in our lives.

Dear Brody,

You are something else. There are certain people in this world who, no matter what, will always find their way. You are one of these people. I can already tell that you will be good at anything you choose to do in life.

My favorite "Brody moment" this week: We had to go meet with someone "really important" on Thursday afternoon. That is the best way that I could explain this meeting with a three-year old, that it was "really important" and you needed to answer all of the "really important lady's" questions. (This pertains to the "really important stuff" going on for all of us) She asked you all kinds of things. What do you like to do for fun? Play games. What kind of games? Candyland........Don't Knock the Man Down (Don't Break the Ice). Do you have a girlfriend? Umm...yeah! Mommy! (Ha! I loved that!) You are too sweet, handsome boy!

I also caught you hiding behind the baby cradle eating chocolate Easter eggs this week. Little sneak!

Dear Brantley,

You are a big, big boy! Your six month birthday was this past week. We now feed you about a jar of squash each day. After your check-up on Tuesday, we will start some carrots! Yum!

I could not imagine a sweeter baby than you. Unless you have poopy pants or are just too sleepy to stand it, you are an angel! I love you, sweet boy!

Dear Robert,

You are the most aggravating person on the planet! But, I love you anyways :) I can't wait to see what the future holds....especially if it's half as good as the present!

Laugh......at nothing!

A little laughter each day reminds the heart that it's happy. So true!

I thought I would share a random game that Brody and I play. It's pointless, really. But, he gets SO excited and so tickled while playing it, that I can't help but to lose myself laughing at him.

It goes something like this.

Brody: Mommy, light-bulb, fan, carpet, coffee table, plant, TV, book, boop. (Hysterical laughter)

Me: Brody, tree, grass, refrigerator, milk, bicycle, flower pot, boop. (More hysterics)

Brody: Mommy, apple, water, ceiling, bedroom, sunshine, boop. (Uncontrollable laughter)

Like I said, no logic or reason to this "game" he has made up. But, if it makes us laugh........ :)

SUCH a Slacker!!

I know....I am such a blogger-slacker! It seems I always have something else I need (or want) to do.

Laundry is never-ending. How can four people go through so many clothes? (I may be guilty of letting me & the boys stay in our pjs on days we don't have plans) So really, how does it get so piled up?

Dishes are never-ending. Blah. Worst. Chore. EVER!

Facebook is never-ending. :) And, a little addicting.

Anywho, some quick updates. I got an embroidery machine for Valentine's Day. My husband is too good to me sometimes. I am having so much fun with it! I love love to applique.

Brantley will be SIX months old this week. He is sitting up and "scooting". He also had his first rice cereal this week. He likes it, as long as it's warm! Where in the world has the time gone?

Brody is just, well, Brody. Sweetest little boy on the planet, until he gets sleepy. Lord, help us all when that child gets tired. You've never seen a tantrum like that in your life! (He might get it from his mama) I am trying to grow his hair out. I started thinking the other day that he will have a "man haircut" for his whole life, so I want him to have longer, little boy hair for now. It's kind of in the awkward, can't-do-nothing-with-it stage. I hope it starts looking okay soon. His hair is so super thick (that he also got from his mama) that it just sticks out and gets frizzy.

Who else is loving this weather????? I sure am! It has put me in the best mood. We grilled this evening, and ate while we watched the Bristol race. My guy crashed. He isn't having the best luck. Hope it turns around soon!

I got to spend some long overdue time with my long lost BFF, Anna Laura. She is teaching math at a high school near Birmingham, and also helps coach softball. So, Anna Laura has been one busy lady. But, last week was her spring break, and she made the time to drive up to spend the day with me & the boys. We had Pizza Inn, then went to the park, then got Happy Hour drinks @ Sonic. Great day.

That thing I had blogged about in previous posts.....the really important thing.......well, it's going pretty well. I hope to be able to post good news about that in the next month. If you want to say a prayer for us, just pray that there is no "friction". That's all we hope for.

That's all for tonight. I will TRY to keep it up!
