John's week home

Well our little family has had a pretty laid back week... John came home last Tuesday and we basically just took it easy all week. John is really missing Braedon when he is gone but he sure catches up quickly when he is home and Braedon just watches him with awe... Although he will not let me to far out of his site but this is with everyone... I guess he loves me A LOT and feelings are mutual. I am not sure what John and I did before he was born but it couldn't be as much fun as we are having now. John and I did go to Charity Ball last Saturday night and it was wonderful but boy was is cold. I couldn't believe it was that cold when we headed to the car at midnight. It was weird though coming home to an empty house. We even contemplated going to get him from Mama's house but I quickly decided that I wanted to sleep. It was great but the next morning I was ready to go get him... SNOW AND ALL. It was snowing on our way home from Circle M but I never imagined we would wake up to a blanket of snow covering everything. I am a terrible mom though cause I didn't take Braedon's picture in his first snow. The wind was just terrible. We went to Mawmaw's to eat then came home and Braedon and I went to bed. John took his boat out for a spin on the lake... BOY WAS HE COLD. I then woke up sick... touch of the stomach virus from day care I am guessing.... thank goodness it did not last very long. Monday was a difficult day because John always goes back on Monday nights but this one was different. He decided last minute he wasn't going which was great but then it made it even harder when he left last night. BUT he left while we were in the bed so it was not as bad as it usually is. I took Braedon to have his picture made today... JUST FOR NICHOLE!!!! I have heard several complaints that I have not had them done since he was 2 months old and I do feel back but I just don't know what my excuse is. I didn't take too many though cause I am planning on doing some closer to April if he is sitting up completely on his own. Anyway have a great week... We also want to say CONGRATS to Ashia... We are excited!!!!!

5 Month Old

He was trying his best to wake his daddy up and as you can see he succeeded!!!

These are just a few of the pictures that the munchkin has taken over the last few days!!! He growing growing growing. He's a little fat cat. Sometime he looks like his daddy and on occasions he looks like me. In the picture with him smiling with the hat on he even looks just like Michael's baby pictures. SO he is a mix of all of us!!!!

BUSY BUSY BUSY

Well I have not been blogging much lately. I have been busy at work and home. I have been the cook at Tender Years since we lost Judy but I have finally hired someone that I hope will fill her shoes as much as possible. Please pray for the lady; she needs it to put up with us sometimes. My workers seem to keep me going when my days get real terrible. They are always a hoot and got something new going. We have had a busy two weeks. My favorite little man spent the night with us Friday night, Landon. He was wonderful. He and I watched movies all night until he told me that he was ready to go bed. At first he wanted Braedon to sleep in the middle but then he told me that I had to sleep between them. I did it for as long as I could then I moved Braedon back to the middle. Thank goodness there was no tossing and turning. We really had a blast. Thursday night Jen Jen got to keep Braedon for the first time. SHE CLAIMS that he was wonderful and I hope he was good for them. Thanks Jenn... I know you will always be there when I need you. There has not much else been going on outside of work. Can't believe Braedon is already 5 months old. It is just hard to believe how time flies. I will have to take new pictures this week while John is home and I will post them. Nichole has been on my head about having his pictures taken. I guess I am a terrible mother because I have only had his pictures done once. I keep saying I am going but something always comes up. I will for sure be doing them asap. Braedon is now chowing down on some cereal and fruit. HE love pears and applesauce and he likes peaches but not as much. I plan on starting him on vegetables this week while his daddy is home. He is a great eater and I am sure he will eat anything that is put in front of him.
BRAEDON IS GOING TO SPEND THE NIGHT AWAY FROM HOME FOR THE FIRST TIME SATURDAY NIGHT. John and I have decided to go to Charity Ball this year since he is home. Braedon is going to spend the night with Granny. SO everyone please keep mama in your thoughts. She has told me that I have got to pick him up before church Sunday cause she can't handle him and her that morning. We'll see though. I am sure I will be there asap to get him. I am looking forward to a whole night's sleep though. Any way that is our lives in a nut shell right now. This week will surely be interesting and busy and I will fill everyone in as soon as I can. Happy Fat Tuesday to everyone... have a great day.
