Helping words to get through life

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did" When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better.
'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' "

Sad Day, Super Keyton and Sweet Paisley!!!

I will start out with cute pics of them together before I start my long blog.......

Love how they are making the same face and he is holding on to her!!!!!



wanting to get to Paisley


I never wanted to put them in the samething but we loved these shirts!!!!!



On Monday the 4th we found out that the ferrets had caught a very bad (ferret only) deadly infection. We decided to have them put down instead of watching them go. Therefore we had to do something with Callie (our sweet cat) because she has never be alone and we did not think she would do good with out her buddies. We gave her to the rescue center to have the chance to find a new home. It was a very hard decision and it broke both our heart to have to make such a final choice. We waited til the kid woke up and let Paisley play with her "babies" (as we all called them) and took pics with all of them. Paisley was so cute chasing them and trying to drive her car with them in it. She would try to put them in the cage and was really good at picking them up the right way. Keyton love sitting with them and laughed when they would give him kisses. After an hour we loaded up both kids and all the animals and cryed on the way. We also explaned to Paisley that we had to give the cat and ferrets to new homes. She did not like that to much. First was Callie, we all kissed her good bye and everything was ok til they gave us back the empty cage and Paisley lost it Screaming "My cat My Callie cat" I lost it and new it was going to be even harder at the next stop. We gave over the ferrets and Paisley again Screamed " My feranys (how she calls them) NO NO NO my babies." Tryon and I really lost it and we all cryed all the way home. She still ask about them and wants to know why, which still makes it hard. Putting away all there stuff that was around for 4 years took alot of work and tears. We loved those little babies and we will all miss them very much.

Here are the last pics of our special BABIES

Now on to my Super Keyton!!!! I am so excited that on Sunday (the 10th) he rolled over from back to front and then front to back!!! He was so proud and I was so excited to watch him do it!!! He is so much younger than Paisley was and I can't believe he did. He also started holding the bottle some and trying to help feed himself. He is now eating baby food 2 times a day!!! We had is fun 4 month apt. today and he is sooooo big. He weights 17 lbs and 5 ozs and is 26" tall!!!! That is a lb and an in. more than Paisley (and I thought she was big!!!) Also he is fixing to get his frist 2 teeth, the doc. thinks it will be very soon!!!! I am so excited about him growing up but so sad it will be so fast. I love how much he laughs and talks to everything. He loves to hold on to you when you walk around and he really loves his big sister!!!!


Rolling Over....go baby go!!!!!!! Yes he did it with his hand in his mouth!!!

Holding the bottle!

Sitting up with some help.

Sweet smiles!!!!!



Using his teether!!!!!





Once he found them he has never let them go!!!!!





Now my Sweet Paisley!!!! She has been very helpful the last few weeks, everyday she tells me it is time to do Tummy Time with KiKi. She lays in the floor and keeps him happy while he has to do his time. It is so much fun to watch as she trys to show him how to roll, crawl, and get up. She tells him "KiKi, KiKi watch...Now you do" got to love the help! She loves to help wash him in the bath, tell me when he needs to be changed and wiping his mouth all the time. Every night she get him a bib for dinner, and one for herself now because Keyton has one. She also (just today) wanted to feed him his bottle so I went and got the boppy and put it around her, layed him down and gave her the bottle and waited to hear "I'm done" but no she feed him is whole bottle and wiped his face when he needed her to. It was so sweet and he did good to. I am so happy to have such a willing and big helper! I also have noticed that she wants to be give praise like Keyton does for her normal activity... example.... when Keyton rolled over Sun. she rolled over and said "look Mama I do it too" Its so funny and cute. Can't believe how big she is, it makes me sad to think in just 3 months she will be my 2 year old.

Tummy time!!!!


Feeding her little bro!!! Such a big girlThe other day she just sat on me and started jumping on me. So fun and cute!!!

Climbing on Daddy!!!


I hurt my foot the other day and mom made me sit with Ice Paisley thought she had to ice her foot to.....She also would limp like me all day long. She is too funny...

Fun, Family, Friends and the 4th!!!

Sorry it has been so long but things have been bussy here. At the end of June my Aunt Cissy and her daughter Brittany came down to see us and the kids. Paisley loved both of the so much and was always talking to them. If Brittany got out of sight she would cry until she could see her again. It was so sweet and she even talked about them for a week after

Brittany and Cissy with Keyton.... Was really bad and this was the only picture of them.

Then it was off to Abilene for the 4th!!! Tryon's whole family was there and it was so much fun to hang with all the Sibs. Paisley loved playing with Mara and Mikayla all day everyday. She really loved being a big girl with them, swimming with them (which made her to brave), and getting so much attention from everyone. Blake and her Play a game where she would scream then he would and then she would say you got me and he would so no you got me. They did it every night and she is still doing it now with anyone who will. I also loved watching her and Mara play together with what ever they could find and at every house. Mikayla was so cute taking care of her and helping her get on the bed. Keyton loved getting held and really loved his Abbey. He would let her do anything and everything to him. I am so glad for the time with everyone.

Then my Brother Jaden came to see us!! It was his first time to see Keyton and Paisley was only 8 months the last time he saw her. We had a great time...He is doing great and loving living near Dallas, He is a choir leader and his church and is working for the rehab. center right now and loving it.


Paisley and Jaden... Later will post the one with Keyton but its on Mom's camera.

Now for just the update on the kids and the cute fun pics.

KEYTON is getting to big, on the 20th he rolled over for the first time from tummy to back. He does not really know how he did it yet but it was sooooo exciting!!!! He also started eating on the 21st just once a day and is so excited about eating with the family! Also (thank God) he is starting to only wake up once a night to eat (FINALLY!!!!) I am so glad and am going to wait a few weeks then move him into His room!!! I will be great to have him in his own area! He is trying to say mama and is always happy and talking all the time. He loves his time with Paisley!



PAISLEY, she is just to smart! She now counts everything she can and can count to 10 sometimes 12. She is still working on the colors but knows blue orange yellow and pink. I love how she talks so well and learns new words like they are nothing. I love how she loves to "read" to Keyton and teaches him. She will point to a letter and say " Keekee A Keekee thats A" or " Keekee Keekee thats blue" She is doing my job. She loves to now help "carry" the car seat (she calls it walking Keekee). It is too sweet. Oh by the way she knows how to say Keyton and does if I tell her something is his she will tell me "Oh thats Keyton's ____" , she just likes to call him Keekee.


Oh ..... We had a big scare with her this week. On Sunday we went out to eat at Chili's for the anv. (with the kids.) and she wanted to try the hot sause. Tryon did the fake dip but that did not fool her, so he gave her some. She loved it and had a little bit more than we would have liked. Later that night her face was a little swollen, we watched her and sleep with a moniter so that if she started gagging I could hear her. The next day her face was fine but I found spots forming on her legs. Mom looked at it and said it looked like chicken poxs so we went to the dr. She said it was not (by now they were all over her and spreading fast) it was a really really bad reaction to something and if she had to much it could be fatel. Well by the time I got home her legs were almost all red plus her arms lower stumic and face. Called chilis to find out what was in the hotsause and found out it was the jalopenos. Now she is on med. to get the hives gone and it has been 3 days and they are just now going away. So we can't cook with jalopenos for her or let them touch her skin!!! I was so scared and freaking out the whole day when she started breaking out.

Bad rash but not at its worst...
