Stinker

He has been talking in his sleep the last few nights and it's obvious that whatever he is dreaming about it upsetting him because he wakes up and wants to sleep with us. Two nights ago he yelled for me to get him the toilet paper. I went in there and he was sitting up in bed upset, saying you HAVE to get me my toilet paper. I went and got a role and he broke a piece off, then rubbed it soothingly next to his cheek and went back to sleep. I asked him in the morning and he said I was flushing it ALL away!  Last night he woke me up twice talking but I couldn't make out what he was saying. At about 3 AM I had a little one standing next to my bed with his pillow and blanket ready to climb in. Cole lifted him up and put him in the middle. He scooted real close to me and snuggled in. Then he said "Mom, why you stink so bad?" I said it's probably my breath. "Mom, why you breath stink so bad?" I said go to sleep!  It's totally a natural thing to have morning breath right? Still, a little humiliating all the same. Leave it up to a two year old to be brutally honest. I guess I better start brushing my teeth before I hit the sack! (Sick, and yes I am kidding) He has always had a really sensitive nose and gets upset to smells all the time. 

Love him!

Love him more!

Work It!

Tate will get upset with me if I tell him we are not going to do Pilates together. On this particular night when this was the case, he asked me to put them on for him and told me he would do them himself. He got the mat out of the closet, and sat down to do his exercises . It's pretty funny to watch because he really does them quite well. What a funny boy!

Best Uncle Award

Meet Uncle Trevor...

He is the best uncle, and these little boys LOVE him.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREV - WE ALL LOVE YOU TO DEATH!!

Pancakes

I heard Tate outside playing saying that he was making pancakes. Then I looked over and he had gotten this oven mitt. I told him not to put sand in the water side and he informed me that it's his oven.

The bandaid is there so he won't pick at his scabs. Plus, it makes it feel SO much better.

First Trip

We went to the lake to throw rocks and enjoy the afternoon together.

Practicing his pitch

One water boy and one not so much water boy.
Can you guess who's who?

If you guessed Mason your right. He couldn't stay out of the water, and keep in mind it's not warm water yet.

SHOUT OUT

I've been wanting to give a little shout out to my sweet husband without seeming too proud, and this seems like a great time to do it. He stays up with our little girl every night so that I can go to sleep. He was gone last night and I found myself having to ask him his routine. I haven't really had to stay up with her because Cole is always there for me. Thanks babe!

Also, Cole and my brothers have started a new blog about their bike ride adventures. They know about some sweet trails around here, and elsewhere, so if your into biking follow along. They plan to keep it updated often. Check it out here:

Tuesday Night Rides

I haven't really been big into mountain biking since junior high. I used to love tagging along with my brothers and joining them. I've gone out on a few rides with Cole in the time we've been married and I am not nearly as daring as I used to be. Reading their blog entries was surprisingly entertaining to me and makes me want to start tagging along again. Can anyone join your Tuesday night rides?

Reflections of Christ

This is such an inspiring video. It's a great testimonial of Christ. (Watch it when you really have time to sit down, to get the full effect. Also, it's even better in full screen)

I couldn't find it anywhere to download, so just click on the following link and watch it:

Reflections of Christ

The video is put together from Fine Art Photography done by a group of artists. You can watch videos on different shoots done to create each picture. It's really quite interesting to watch. Each picture is so beautifully done and incredibly moving, and I LOVE the music.

ENJOY!!!

(Thanks Grandma for sending this to me)

Spill

Our little guy took a not so little spill today on the concrete.

It is so sad to see your little one all beat up
Poor guy - I must say he's tough though. A little "kwiss" and he's good as new.
