Woodpecker Family

We have one dead branch on our tree in the front yard, and it now has a woodpecker family in it. Mom and Dad worked together making holes in the branch, and now they take turns going out to get food for the babies while the other stays nearby. It's so cute.

Wrestling

Baylor loves to watch wrestling & records it so we can watch it EVERY day because wrestling on Mondays isn't nearly enough. And after, he and Adam wrestle a bunch and do chair slams & choke holds.
Every night I hear Baylor saying "daddy pleease choke slam me?".
When I ask why they insist on doing this, Adam says, "you know like when we were little and John & I would watch Karate Kid and then think we knew Karate. We'd karate kick the crap out of each other. Didn't you do that on certain movies?" I insist I have no idea what he's talking about, and, apparently, I'm the one that is not normal!

A "Corn" Person

So we are sitting here eating dinner. Adam is putting the dishes away, and I tell Baylor to finish his corn. He looks at me thoughtful and wipes both sides of his mouth with his napkin then says "you know, I'm not much of a (he does air finger quotes here)"corn person". I cracked up, and then told him to finish his corn!

Pulling Up!

Adeline can pull up and walk down the couch & I go behind her saying "no, no you're too little to be doing that!" She just laughs!

Sneaky Pictures!!

You know people say beware of profile pictures, etc, because pictures can fool you??? Well, here are some tricky pictures. They look so sweet. Brother & sister playing together, smiling for the camera....
So you ask, what was really happening? Adeline continuously knocks Baylor's castles down and crawls all on top of him. And Baylor is saying "Stoooop iiiittttt, Adelinuuuu!", "Mommy can you get here awaaaaay". The stretched out words are to emphasize the whining voice.
I move her and try to give Baylor some of the peaceful playing time that he has had for 8 years, but I secretly love it! ;)

Adeline 8 Months!

Lost Ring!

I've lost my wedding ring. I know... not too shocking for those that know me well. I really loved that ring, though, and I've only had it for about a year. Adam got it for me for our 10th anniversary. Luckily, because my husband is the great Farm Bureau Insurance Agent that he is, it was insured, but he won't buy me another one! I agree because I'm still holding out hope it turns up somewhere in our house. For the time being, I'll be sporting a brand new cubic zirconia!

Easter 2010

Adeline's first Easter! We spent the day at Meme's with family & visited Adam's mom. Lots of candy and fun!

Bone Marrow Result Update

The results came in from Baylor's bone marrow biopsy in early March. Everything looked the same. No signs of scary stuff like leukemia & his few little bone marrow cells seem to be holding steady. Things looked okay for now & they will continue to watch his blood & schedule another bone marrow biopsy in 6 months, which is our regular routine.

Easter Bunny 2010

Luckily someone told me that our mall bunny has this fast pass thing online. If you go order your pics online & pay, you print out this fast pass and just skip the line when you show up. Well.... we went at 2:00 on Good Friday and the line was a mile long! Evidently, not many people know about this "fast pass" and we pissed a lot of people off just walking up and getting our picture done, but it was legitimate! haha

Baylor Can Ride!

Baylor can ride his bike! Big deal, you say? Well, we have practiced for over 4 years! He never could reach the ground before, so now he's tall enough. Now that he's riding, he loves it! We promised him a new bike when he learned to ride since this one is about 5 years old!
