Life Now

Let's see....life right now. We have been doing a lot of hanging out in the house due to unbearably hot weather. Sometimes I get brave and venture into the heat wave, but then I remember. I am in love with the ac and not so much with sweat. I hear it is cooling off though, so we will have to check that out.
Brett has been doing a lot of studying.....nothing new right?? Well this time is a little different. It's the first half of his boards. It's a "See I am competent enough to be a dr" test, so its kind of a big deal. Lesson about my husband -- It's hard to tell when he is stressed. Good and bad thing. I think he is stressed, so often he let's it creep out but his stressed is also the same as being grumpy because he is hungry. Non the less, I feed him often so he doesn't get too cranky. Seems to be ok. Husband works well under pressure...and a full tummy.

Kids. Adalie finished her first little season of T Ball. Her daddy was even the couch. Something he says he will not do again =) I am a terrible mother and didn't get pictures. Well I got this one....
 
There is a team picture which Brett needs to scan in for me.... There are actually 9 kids on the team but only 5 showed for picture day. She is starting TBall again this Saturday. Since Brett will be able to sit with me, I will not be spending my whole time trying to keep Cason off the field and Brody screaming his head clean off. This will allow me to take pictures. Like a good mother does right??

 Cason. Oh Cason.....He still pitches a fit for bedtime about 95% of the time and nap times have become few and far between. At least i can still get what we call "quite time" in for about an hour. He has a gate in the frame of his door and cannot get out. You know....like prison =) He is starting to talk more, which is fun. He sings all the time. I love that my kids love to sing.
 
 Brody. One happy baby. He is getting so fun. He is teething which accounts for a lot of drool and sometimes crying spells, but most of the time he is all smiles. He rolls all over the place. He also sleeps on his tummy.This must be a hereditary trait as all of my kids end up on their tummies by 4 mths. Brett and I both cannot stand sleeping on our backs. He screams a lot. Not mad screaming, just loud talking really. How else does he expect to be heard in this place?? Poor kid has heard screaming since he entered the womb so he knows nothing else except for it to be normal.
Mommy. doing pretty well. I have gone a little crazy and have cut sugar out of my life for the next 30 days. i am 4 days strong. Sad, but a really big deal for me. I would eat cake all day if I had it. I think I might give myself an exception for my birthday later this month. That's not cheating right?? Also, I have let my house and laundry go to heck this past week. Rarely do I wash a dish, fold a shirt, or vacuum a floor. I am paying for it now. I DID fold 2 baskets of laundry and load the dishwasher today....which of course, means I am amazing.
