Hmmmm...much ado about nothing!

Well, I am trying to think what to blog about. This week has been slow and I still havn't gotten over my cold. I know next week I would like to blog about the birth stories of Nolan and Braydon. I need to dig up older pics of when they were first born.
Braydon is talking up a storm now. He still is the cuddler. When we eat I have to hold his hand. He always wants mommy to hold him. He lifts his arms and says "I want up." Here a couple pictures of him.


Nolan and his Daddy video taped the lunar eclispe the other night. Nolan really likes the moon and stars. He is getting to be a big boy and asks every question imaginable. He also claims that he wants to drive my car already!! ACK!

If I was a cocktail......apparently I'd be this!

Be my Valentine!!

We had fun making Valentine's day cards this week! It was Braydon's first time making them. He loved it..so much this was his reaction after we were done. He wanted to make more!! Tonight, we are meeting up with Grandma & Poppy Hann to eat and go to a fun church event for the kids!

All about me.......well kinda!

First, HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!! Sorry, I havn't posted in a week. I came down with a terrible cold and cough. Needless to say, I am a bit under the weather! But, I feel better since I found my handy-dandy Vicks vapor rub. I searched for it Tuesday night and just about cried because I couldn't find it. Last night I tore the bathroom cabinent apart and found my new best friend named Vick. I grew up on this stuff and I swear by it. I have not used it on the boys yet, but I am sure the time is coming! They make a children's Vicks. Has anyone tried it? We had a funny incident the other night. Braydon drank all his juice, so we gave him a splash of sprite. He took a drink and threw it on the floor. (He wasn't expecting something fizzy) John picked up the sippy cup and the pressure from the sprite caused it to squirt 4 feet in the direction of a poor man that was eating with friends. Thank goodness he didn't seem to mind, but I am sure he didn't plan on having a "sprite" shower!! I have pictures to download that include the boys making handmade Valentine's cards. I won't go into detail about this because that is another blog for the near future.

1st school project for Nolan

This week is "take care of your pet week" at school for Nolan. He picked out a dog to have as his pet. It is a plastic yellow lab named Cheyenne. (he named her) They are learning the responsibilities of being a pet owner. He came home Tuesday with his dog and said he wanted a bed for his dog. We made a small bed out of an old sock and a top of a jewelry box. He also said he wanted a doghouse....well, that would have to be my DH job!! He is the carpenter in the family!

They started by finding a piece of cardboard. DH shaped it into a house and even put siding and shingles on the roof made of cardboard. Nolan had fun helping his Daddy with this. He was so proud. He took the doghouse they made into school and shared it with the other kids. Last night they painted the doghouse blue and red. Nolan's favorite colors! Here are pictures of the work in progress.



Nolan is taking after his Daddy with projects. He was so focused on making sure it was right.
I don't know who had more fun... Nolan or his Daddy! LOL


HARD AT WORK!!!
Now Braydon was very interested at first..... here is Braydon after he realized he wasn't going to get to paint the doghouse!

Here is the finished product!!!! He can't wait to take it into school to share with his friends!

Things I Love...

I love these older pictures of my 2 lil pumpkins. (Courtesy of Grandma Corbett). She has them posted on her ebay "me" page. Braydon is about 2-3 months and Nolan is 22-23 months in these pictures. Do you ever think about the little things people do that make us happy? Especially family, they do things that we love....




I love it when Nolan brushes the hair out of my eyes....
I love it when Braydon giggles so hard, he sounds like woody wood pecker...
I love it when Nolan gives his brother a kiss for no reason...
I love it when my DH gives me a kiss for no reason...
I love it when Braydon runs to me and hugs my legs...
I love it when we have a big family hug...
I love it when Nolan tells me he loves me just out of the blue...
I love it when DH tells me he loves me just out of the blue...
I love it when Braydon grabs a hairbrush to get his hair combed (he loves this)...
I love them...my DH and my 2 lil pumpkins!
