Funny Conversation Between Mom & The Boys

It is Caleb's busy season at work, so the boys and I have been eating dinner alone for the past few nights. Here's how our conversation went last night...

Luke: "Batman is my favorite super hero"
"Who is your favorite super hero mommy girl mom?"

Me: "Well, I dont know, that is a good question"
"Who is your favorite super hero mommy Luke?"

Luke: "Mommy! It's you!"

Me: "Brady, who is your favorite super hero mommy?"

Brady: "ew! momma!"

Me: "Brady who is your favorite super hero bubba?"

Brady: "bubba (as he looks at Luke and smiles)"

Classic! We are so glad that Brady can now join in on our conversations!

Scarlett's Birthday Party

This weekend we went to Scarlett's 3rd birthday party! She even had a special guest at her party...TINKERBELL! It was lots & lots of fun and the boys had fun celebrating with Scarlett.


Brady had the bouncy all to himself for a few minutes & loved it!

Luke's Accident

Yesterday was such a pretty day out so we went in the backyard to play for a little bit. Luke asked if he could climb a tree and after seeing that it was a pretty low tree I told him that would be fine. In my opinion, all boys need to climb trees and this was a safe height. He got up and was having a great time until he fell!!!

After over an hour of screaming I decided to call the doctor to see if I should take him to the ER. They advised me to go ahead and take him in to get him checked out because this was a lot of pain for just a scrape.

I took him in and after the doctors checked him out they told me he needed a cat scan to check his spleen for a possible puncture wound since that area was especially tender to the touch. With a cat scan comes an IV. The first attempt at the IV was unsuccessful, but the second worked. They took him in for XRays & cat scan. Both turned out to be fine and they determined he suffered some bruising and a large scrape on his stomach. Three band aids & three stickers later we were out the door! Thankfully, he did not have any puncture wound to his spleen, just pretty sore from the scrape and fall.

We got home late last night & as promised he was able to sleep on the couch and watch the movie of his choice. He was such a good boy through his traumatic experience at the ER.

Here is his scrape on the second day. It is still pretty sore, but he is perfectly fine and will make a full recovery!

What an experience!

Luke & Brady have really been playing together a lot more lately. Brady likes pretty much anything Luke does and Luke is fine with that SOME of the time. He still gets annoyed by Brady some too, but overall likes to play with him. Brady is definitely able to hold his own with Luke these days though. He doesn't take much of anything out of him and give it right back to him if needed!


Both of my sweet boys are still 100% momma's boys, but they also LOVE playing with daddy. He is much better at playing boy stuff than I am. Caleb is building such a strong bond with them and I love to see their relationships blossom with both of us in very different ways. I couldn't be more blessed!


Happy 18 month birthday B-ball! We love you!

Valentine's Day Fun!

To celebrate Valentine's Day, I made a cookie cake and let Luke decorate it. He chose not to go with the traditional red icing for his cake because that was a "girl color". Even though it looks a little more like a St. Patrick's Day cake, if you look closely it says Happy Valentine's Day!


Very good decorating job Luke!

Time for a Big Boy Bike

Tonight we decided to put away Luke tricycle & get out his big boy bike. Caleb spent some time working with him and getting him used to the training wheels. With a little more practice this week he should be a pro!
