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.' "

Fireworks and Fun

We had a great 4th!!!! It was very busy but the kids had a great time and so did we. It all started at the zoo....Our zoo has little games and activities!! The kids made bracelets, had their face painted, watched daddy dunk a football player in the dunk tank, and did an obstacle cores!! Also got to see the animals and for a treat got a Popsicle. It was all too much fun. Then after naps we went to Tryon's Aunts house to see some of the family and let the kids play with all the cats in the back yard. But poor Keyton scared me to death at her house. He was chasing a cat when he tripped and hit his head on a rock gashing it open and then the cat attacked his little head. When Tryon pick him up his face had blood running down it and I was so scared it was bad. We cleaned him up and he had the gash and a skin mark on the right side of his forehead, a claw mark on the left side and about 4 or 5 more claw marks on the back of his head. He was fine just looked really bad but thank God it was not deep enough for stitches!! So he looked great with blood on his shirt for the rest of the night. Well we then went to another Aunts house to watch the fire works but they never happened:( because of the wind. We then went out to the fireworks stand and had a blast shooting off fireworks with the kids. They loved it and it was Keyton's first time!!! They got to do sparkler and with help hold a small roman candle with us and loved that so much. They watched a few fountains, large shot (like the big ones), and missals plus all the other stuff the few other groups where shooting. It was great. An older man loved watching Paisley clap after all the really big ones and loved that we were teaching them about fireworks so young. We got home tired but had a great time even if the main fireworks were canceled.

Now for a funny story...Potty time
Paisley is so not into the potty right now and we tried one day to do it....
First time she went on her own I was so excited and she wanted to wear big girl undies so she did...I told her not to potty to let me know.
5mins later she peed on the floor....
At lunch time I asked her to potty with me then we could eat..."No mommy I don't need to"...
Get back from the restroom she potted!!
Go to the mall the last pair of undies and shorts left with us....
She poops!!!!!!! I am so mad by now..
Go to the restroom to clean up and she flushed her undies DOWN the potty!!!!!
I ask why she did that and she told me "they are gross mommy they needed to be clean" while she is crying because they are gone!!!
We did not push it the rest of the day!!!!

The kids are doing great and starting to learn to share more!!!!! YES!! They have a little ride on car and Paisley has been pushing Keyton around the house on it all the time. It is so cute and I am so glad there is no angry screaming with it!!!
Keyton is finally coming out of his shell and talking and trying new words... His new love is the word "bath" he loves to say it all the time. He is also trying to say long sentences like "what are you doing?" not very clear but you can tell that is what he is trying to say!! love it. Also Paisley is trying to help him learn new words it is so great and cute!!
Nothing to new with Paisley but she now wants to wear her hair like mine (curly) so last night she slept in sponge rollers and looked so cute for church today. I was surprised that she kept them in all night. I just don't know if she will want the trouble all the time.

Im back!!!

So sorry it has been so long but I am back!!!! Well so much has gone on but I will just give the overview.....

My sweet little ones!!!!


Paisley... is getting to big and so smart. She knows alot of the hard shapes now like, hexagon, pentagon, trapezoid and really loves to show that off. She can now draw a circle and is working on a square! Also thanks to her word world toys she is learning to spell...dog, pig and bug, she takes them apart and then says the letters as she puts them back together. Later on in the day I here her saying "d-o-um dog, and p-i-um pig" same for bug but it is really cute. She has learned to play games on the computer and wants to all the time...Loves to be like her daddy:) She is just begging me to let her go to school and it is so cute!!! We will have to get her in somewhere this year. Also she loves to go swimming all the time and want to do it all by herself (she is a good swimmer with flotties). Her new thing is to jump in and go under the water. It scares me but she loves it and does good with holding her breath. She loves to go to the library every week and get so many books and we read them all when we first get home. It is really cute. She is getting really tall and so grown up, she even tells me how to do things all the time, like where to turn and to stop at the stop signs. Love it!!! She also has become so sweet...she never really cuttle before but lately has been very into the whole hugging and kissing mommy and daddy. I am glad and love when she wants to sit with me. Other than that everything has been about the same with her she is still the little light of the family by making everyone laugh and smile. She loves to sing and dance all day. She is a really creative girl and loves life. Not to say she does not have bad days but she is my little light!!

Keyton...is also getting so big. He is really tall for his age and is only about 4 in. shorter that his big sis & only 5 lbs smaller! He is so shy that he hardly ever talks but the words he does say are amazing...like yellow, chines, blankie, Paisley, Poppy, french fries, Brazos etc. He never uses them but when Paisley is not around but it is a shock when he does. He is also learning his body parts and can point to his ear, eye, noise, mouth, hands, feet, toes, tummy, knee, bottom, and hair. He loves that game. He knows some colors but does not like to show that off. He knows some animal sounds and can name cow, duck, dog, cat. He likes only a few books and makes you read them 5 times each!! Love it!!! He is my little man who love to be held and loved on. He is so sweet and really loves to play hard. He is walking now and that started and 13 months and now he is running as of this week!!!!!! He is so cute when he runs but is always falling down. Just Sunday he tripped on the sidewalk and skinned up his little noise and forehead.. it was so sad and now his noise look so bad. He will be my one always getting really hurt. Well he loves to go to the Zoo and loves to look at any animal really. He now loves to swim only if it is with you or on a raft!!! He looks so cute on that!!! He is really into balls and into messing with Paisley(what little bros. do best). He has a great spirit and is my little sweetie (most of the time just like anyone). He is a quiet but really loving person who really just loves to enjoy the moment sittingback the whole way. He is the polar opposite to his sis!
Family news...We have sold our house and moved into a town home because of the increases in our payments. We like it and it is great to have a pool this hot summer. We also have two new little additions to our family...two little cat named Pounce and Twinkle!! They are too cute and only 10 weeks old. Paisley has had them named form the time we said we were getting them. The kids love them and the dog (Bisket) is getting use the the idea of them. Love pets. Tryon is still ass. manager at Pizza hut and is looking to move up in 2 months or so!!! Thank God for that one. I am finaly in a good place since the lost of the baby and I have Tryon and the kids to thank for most of that....If it was not for his understanding, Paisley making me laugh and Keyton loving to be my little baby with the huggs I would not be feeling so great now!!! (Also for God showing me the blessing I already have.) Now we are enjoying summer and our little family. I love watching the kids grow, learn and play together that is what I do with my time.

Great little short Stories.. 1) Paisley love to try to catch ducks and peecocks at the zoo....she holds out her hand and tip-toes after them it is so cute. 2) Keyton has to have the giraffes at the zoo lick him while he feeds them or he gets really sad. 3) Paisley and Keyton love to hold hands as they walk now!!! just to sweet, cute and wont last long!! 4) Paisley is miss know it all and loved taking Memaw (tryon's grandmother) to the zoo and telling her all about the animals and Memaw was so impressed and loved it. 5). Keyton loves to takle the dog... he will laugh so hard while playing with Bisket that I end up crying form laughing to hard at him. 6) Scarry but the kids love to climb the stairs and always try to sneek up them....Keyton love to fallow you and scare you when you hed back to them. 7) Scarry..Paisley thought it would be fun to fall down the stairs so she rolled down them (did not get hurt thank God) all after Keyton fell down the stairs but not hurt.
