Tyler's 1st T-Ball Game

Tyler started T-Ball over the weekend and had his very 1st game!  He did GREAT!  The kids get 3 - coach pitched balls thrown to them where they can try to hit..if they miss they get to hit it off the "T".  He hit the ball off the "T" and got to run to first, but the other team struck him out.  No biggie!  We'll practice lots!  He seems to love it so far and it's lots of fun!
 Here are a few pictures my Dad took of him...I forgot my camera....OOOPS!

24 weeks

15 weeks or less our 3rd bundle of joy will be here! Everything is going great! I saw my Dr today to do the follow-up sonogram on the baby's kidney  (can't remember if I ever updated anything on this --- At my last sonogram the doctor noticed that one of the baby's kidneys were dilated a little.  He said it was really nothing to be concerned about, but he wanted me to come back and do a follow up just to be sure it does not get bigger).  It's still measuring at a 5 (which is what it was measuring last time), which he didn't seem too concerned about again. He just wants to monitor it for one more month. So, I go back again in June. I'm excited,  I can take Tyler with! He is so excited about his new baby brother. He loves to touch my tummy and feel him kick and he always gives it kisses. So sweet! Anyways, everything is great with the baby! He's measuring perfectly...right on track! He weighs 1 lb 8 oz. He's in breach position at the time...really doesn't matter I guess since I am scheduling a c-section....should find that out soon! I go back to my Dr. on the 29th. I will update and new info then. Stay tuned for my 24 week photo!!
Baby#3 at 24 weeks 4 days.  PERFECT!

Mother's Day

 We had a great start to Mother's Day!!!!  Chad, Tyler and Ashton let me sleep in.....it was soo nice!!!  Chad made some yummy breakfast for the boys and I!  We hung out in the morning together and got ready to go over to his parent's house.  We got over there and it was still a tad cool, so the boys just played in the back yard with some toys and had fun!!!!  While everyone was playing, my poor Ashton ran into the grill's side and gashed open the area above his eye.  I FREAKED out!!!!  I've never dealt with stitches, broken bones or really even an ER visit (other than the one w/ Ashton when he had RSV when he was an infant)....yes, we've been lucky!  I ran inside and called Chad's name and told him we HAVE to go to the ER NOW!!!!  Ashton was bleeding pretty bad.  We get there and luckily they get us in right away!!!  We get to see the Dr. and he tells us they need to stitch him up.  They get this papoose thing and wrap Ashton up.  As you can imagine he HATES it!  I don't think I have ever heard him scream that loud.  I just wanted to cry.  I held his hand and tried to just let him hear my voice (he couldn't see me because they had a sheet over his face in order to do the stitches).  It felt like the longest 5-10 minutes of my life. 
Thankfully as soon as they were done he was back to his self!
**UPDATE** FRIDAY, MAY 17
Ashton got his stitches out this afternoon and is doing GREAT!!!  Doctor said he will have a scar, but it will grow with him and probably fade as he gets older.


My boys and I. ♥ Love these two so much!


Having so much fun, but getting too big too quick!  I remember like yesterday when he was too small for this bike!  Now, he's almost too big!

Having fun splashing in the pool

My MIL, the boys and I.  Poor kiddos...we made them take photos!  LOL!

Poor Ashton
