The Baby.

First of all. No. I’m not nor I ever will be pregnant. Haha.  The last pictures I had taken on my camera (not phone) before today were of Sean's 2nd Birthday.  Apparently I was so depressed I couldn’t blog about it. But I have a half a bag of powdered donuts and a cherry coke. I think I can muster thru tonight….

This babe. 15 years. Insane. We went out to dinner at the same place we did last year. He is a sucker for tradition like that. It was fun. And delicious. I love him. He is truly my perfect match. I am so lucky to have found him. He rocks my world…

Sean's Birthday. We went to this place called The Maxx.  Basically big play land, arcades and bouncy houses. Ohh…the smell. Blech.  But Sean had a blast. Was right up his alley.  Had lots of friends to come and play with him…

We went to Pizza Hut afterwards… All 23 of us. Sean wasn’t sure what was going on with the happy birthday song. He is too cute.

Sean's “show” has been Nightmare Before Christmas for months. Grandma and Grampy got him Jack. Sean wasn’t too sure of him at first…

Sean Birthday. Kenna Formal 137

Head butt with Brady. Hence the bloody nose…

For church they put on an 80s Dance. We rocked it.

IMG_1120IMG_1121IMG_1122

Leave this kid alone for 2 minutes and this is what happens. He loves to climb. If you could see the sink full of dishes, bubbles, apples, bananas and B12 pills… Ugh. Good thing he is cute!

IMG_1416

Did the big flip flop with the boys and Marissa's rooms. Marissa room was bigger, so boys got to move in. Decided to paint as well. I love how Marissa’s chevron walls turned out!

IMG_1433

Had a little sicko again. Another ear infection. His tubes fell out of place in November. He got his first infection (that we know of) in March. As of today, he is on number 3. 3 infections in 2 months. Not good. One more and he gets tubes. Again.

The new boss in town.

Miss Riss got braces!! She was so excited. Its amazing how different her teeth already look. I'm looking for a before picture now….

There. Check out that under bite. Wow.

November and Family Pics 261IMG_1508

Taught Kenna how to pump gas. Cant believe she is legal to get her permit in September! They get them at 15 here!

IMG_1517

I felt like poo. Entertaining Sean by taking pictures of us. He is such a poser.

IMG_1523

Happy Easter!

IMG_1546IMG_1549IMG_1550IMG_1551IMG_1552

Just cruising in his coupe. He loves that thing.

IMG_1568

Thanks to Pinterest, we built the boys bed in their room. They look awesome. Not too shabby for a first time build. I already have plans for more.

IMG_1571IMG_1572

He know the pad and phone better than I do, I swear. Little thief.

IMG_1601IMG_1620

We went to the WVU Men's Soccer game. Its awesome. We had a lot of fun.

IMG_1627

What?? We live in West Virginia…

IMG_1636

Ward Party out at Coopers Rock. Sean LOVES the swings. And teeter totters. And anything that keeps him outside.

IMG_1730IMG_1731IMG_1736IMG_1737IMG_1756

Meanwhile, Marcus was in Dallas TX for meetings. Looks like they were working super hard in those meetings, doesn’t it? Haha..

IMG_1759

Weather finally getting nicer, so we hit up the park. Did some geocaching and got some ice cream. That’s a good day.

IMG_1767IMG_1768IMG_1775IMG_1794IMG_1808

Fond little punk on counter again. This entire bottle was GONE! like GONE. I called Poison Control. Said he'd be fine, Even if it was 40 pills. Scary. I think he dumped them down drain. He didn’t take an extra long nap or anything, so doesn’t make sense that he would have taken any. I hope…

IMG_1847

My beautiful sister in law Missy is engaged!! So excited for her.

IMG_1850

Had a hot lunch date with this guy. He's super cute. And sweet. {In real time} He just came up to me and asked me if I had been crying. Marissa told him I had. When I told him I was just a little sad that you guys are all getting older, he looked relieved that nothing was really wrong. But so super sweet that he came up to check on me. Love him and his caring heart.

IMG_1853

Kenna went to DC for an overnight school field trip. They had a blast. And saw so much. I cant wait to go back.

IMG_1857

Sean and the ducks sizing each other up down at the water front…

IMG_1867

I had found a disposable camera in the basement. Was crazy seeing what was on it! And it is 8 years old!  We have Aunt Jan and her puppy. Me. Oh gosh..

IMG_1873IMG_1874

Marcus’ sister Sam. Hahaha! Aunt Cheryl and Uncle George.

IMG_1875IMG_1876

Sweet Grandma Hazel holding Marissa. And our kiddies. Brady, Kenna and Marissa.

IMG_1877IMG_1878

Brady and Missy and Brady and Marissa. Loved that they didn’t get lost forever…

IMG_1879IMG_1880

IMG_1881

More of Sean. Playing with dads rings while at church and being so tired, he cant even swallow…

IMG_1892IMG_1902

Hanging out with dad. I really love where we live. Especially in the spring. Its beautiful.

IMG_1915

Marissa’s turn reading scriptures. She said “hell”. Thought she was in trouble. It was hilarious.

IMG_1918

 

Sean. Refueling after a shopping trip with me and Jessica.

IMG_1925

We stumbled upon a baby rabbit that was out of its burrow. Kenna was so worried about “Harold”. We did lots of research and asked our friends dad, whose a vet, what to do. We got Harold back into the borrow with at least 5 of his brothers and sisters and the next day, he was still in where he belong. Whew. We were almost going to be foster bunny parents. Well, my friend was. I couldn’t have handled the traumatized teenager with Harold would ultimately have died regardless of her efforts. Kenna and her big heart…

IMG_1927

Another WVU Soccer Game…

IMG_1937IMG_1940

And Brady’s game. Soccer is most definitely “his sport”. He LOVES it. And I love watching him play.

IMG_1949

This is our neighbor Jo and Charlie's house. That is Sean on their deck. Look closely. That is Jo and Charlie's daughter Scarlett. Haha. Sean is such a flirt. Charlie says it wont be so cute in 12 years. Haha.

IMG_1958

IMG_1959IMG_1960

And on the days that Sean is uber sweet and not pooping in the tub. Marcus tends to get texts like this one…

IMG_1972

What is it about boys and trucks. Sean loves trucks, planes, and trains. I love the flat footed squat he does.

IMG_1979

Marissa, Kenna and I went to see the High Schools production of Hairspray. It was super cute. Such talent in these kids…

IMG_1999

And the reason for my nostalgic tears. Our baby went to her first formal. How is it fair that she is so big and beautiful…and TALLER than me. Why cant time just stop. I am so proud of the person she is becoming. Really. She's amazing. Love you Doll.

And right now Marcus and his dad are in Charlotte NC at NASCAR of all things. Yes, Marcus would be the one wearing a polo at NASCAR. Haha! But how fun to see it. He says you can feel when the cars go by. Awesome.

Getting ready for 2 birthdays this week. Brady turns 11 on Wednesday and Marissa 9 on Sunday. Wow. Good thing I got caught up before had to add 2 more huge events.

I need more donuts.

And as always. Come see us.
