Dentist today

Boston went to the dentist today and he has no cavities! Ya Ya! He actually loves going to his dentist. I highly recommend him as well. Dr Goldstein, he's a pediatric dentist. He gets so excited when he gets a new tooth brush at the end. Of course he also loves to floss-go figure! I still hate to floss. Of course they didn't have fun shaped flossers in all different colors when I was little. And I've never met a kid who loves to brush there teeth like the boys. They go in and brush all by themself.

Asher is 3 months old today!

Time is flying! He's holding his head up so well and he coos and talks to me all the time. I swear it sounds like he's saying hi to me. I've got to put a video of it on here! He's just the happiest and most smiling baby I've ever seen! I love him soooo!!!

Bunk Beds

We ended up getting the boys bunk beds last Sunday. Of course they took Sean and I about 4 hours to put together. The boys are LOVING them! Boston sleeps on the top bunk, with Dallas down below. It's become a great form of entertainment during the day as well. Up and down they go about a hundred times a day. They are growing up so fast. I can't believe my babies are now sleeping in bunk beds!

Monetary Ranch is back!

While driving to church yesterday we passed by Wendy's and on their sign out front it said "Monetary Ranch Chicken Sandwich is back." YEAH!!! It's my absolute favorite sandwich and it's been since I was pregnant with Boston since they have had it. (And that was over 5 years ago!) So today after going to Publix with the boys I drove over to Wendy's to get this most delicious sandwich. And BOY WAS IT GOOD! If they would only keep it on the menu all the time. And while I'm talking about it why don't we bring back the way Subway used to cut their sandwiches with a triangle cut in the middle. Does anyone remember this??

Yesterday after a morning at church we headed over to my parents to celebrate Suzanne's birthday and we enjoyed a great afternoon swimming and sweating in Florida's summer heat. It was a great time. Although my dad was still in the hospital so we missed him being there. But thankfully after shocking his heart back into rhythm today they let him go home this evening and he is so happy to be home. We look forward to seeing him tomorrow.

Alien Pancakes...a fun Saturday morning

This morning as a special treat we took the boys to Denny's for breakfast. It's funny how little things like that make such a big deal in the life of a little one. The boys ordered Smiley Alien Pancakes and devoured every bite! They thought it was the "coolest" thing. Boston added that it's the "bestest thing he's ever eaten!" It was just so cute. And as crazy as going out to eat with 3 little ones sounds it actually was quiet pleasant. They played with the stash of cars and colors I have in my diaper bag...a good mom is always prepared! And then once breakfast came there was hardly a word out of them.

After eating we went to do some shopping at BJ's. They had a life size pirate that moved and the boys went crazy over it! We got the movie "Muppet Treasure Island" at the library this week and they have been all about pirates so it was a great surprise to see this animatronic. We also saw a bunk bed for sale and are considering buying it for the boys room. All in all it was a fun Saturday morning together as a family.

Dad's in the hospital

My dad is in the hospital again. He had heart surgery to burn some of his nerves to redirect so he would stop going into AFIB last week. But he had to go back in because of an infection. We have missed him a lot. He doesn't want the boys and I to come to the hospital because he's afraid we will catch something. So we sent a picture with Nena (my mom) so he would have something fun to look at and make him smile. (The picture above is what we sent). The boys also colored him some pictures. They do love and miss their papa and we can't wait for him to be all better so he can jump in the pool with all his clothes on a surprise us again! Please keep him in your prayers.

Asher's new seat

So I broke down and got the "latest" baby gadget. It's called a bumbo. Strange name right? Well it a seat that supports them starting at 3 months old so they can sit up. I thought it might come in handy since it's small and I can throw it in the car and take it with me (since we are always on the go go go). It came highly recommended. Asher sat in it for the first time and really liked it. It was nice because I sat him on the counter while I cooked and he cooed at my the whole time. It made cooking much more fun. What a happy baby he is! I think in a few more weeks it will be a little more comforable for him as well. (He will be 3 months old on the 14th). It's amazing how many new products companies come out with each year!

Sack races

The other morning we had sack races in some old pillow cases. The boys had so much fun with this. They are ready to go and play each morning at about 6:30am so I'm always looking for something different to entertain them. This was their first sack race and they loved it! Of course

it's so hot down here right now I'm constantly trying to find fun things to do INDOORS.

Job Mommy

I truely believe that being a mom is the hardest job in the world. Not that I'm not saying that other peoples jobs are easy, but when you are a mom you are shaping your child into who he will become. Talk about stress. Never ending wondering if you are doing everything right. I struggle with this everyday. Am I doing enough? Am I being a good example of character? Am I feeding them right? Am I teaching them all they need to know? Am I being the best mom I can be? Ugh...it could drive a person crazy. So everyday, I get down on my knees and pray to God that he will give me peace and trust in Him that he picked me to be Boston, Dallas and Asher's mommy and I'm the best one for it. And I pray that if I do mess up, which I will and do, that they won't remember those things but only the good things I do. I know God will give me a lot of grace because being a mommy is a tough and draining job.....and yet THE MOST rewarding job in the WORLD! So as much as I might wonder where my acting or photography career would be now, that just doesn't matter. All that matters is that through Sean and I's love we have been blessed with an even more amazing love 3 times over! How blessed we are to have been given the three kids that he gave us. Oh how much I love them. It's amazing how much love you can possess for a little 8lb baby as soon as it comes out of your body and into this world. It's a true testiment of God's great love for us.

Today as been a trying day of discipling that is always challenging and draining on me. Boston is tapping into a new side of himself. A side with sass and attitude (and tongues sticking out!). So I'm trying to mold him into a little boy that can control his temper and attitude and not just do whatever he feels. Oh what a huge job that is. But I know we will get there and someday he will channel all that passion in a good way and we will be so proud of him.

Aunt Suzanne's b-day

Today was Suzanne's 25th b-day (she is married to my brother Wes). The boys and I surprised her where she teaches with candy and balloons. They had also make cards for her. They were so excited about taking her balloons but all Dallas kept asking was "are we going to have birthday cake too????" Over and over and over again.

They also had swiming today and they are getting so good. I'm very proud of them. It's amazing to me that at the ages of 2.5 and 4.5 they can do the butterfly, breaststroke and freestyle. I can't even do those!! I'll have to post some video of them.
