My Bestie's Birthday!

Saturday is my best friend Lindsay's Birthday! She is the most sweetest lady I know. She loves our baby boys and she is definetly a part of our family. Lindsay flew all the way to Arkansas from Kansas to come to our wedding, we drove to Kansas for her 30th birthday, she came to stay with us last year around Christmas, she just is always here for the important things. Luckily, she now lives in Rogers, which is much closer than Kansas!
So Lindsay, I hope you have the best birthday ever! We love you and miss you. Thanks for loving my little family so much! The boys love you and can't wait to see you!! XOXO Sisser Punkin!!

Easter 2010

We had a great day today! For the past 3 years it seems like it had either rained or been really cold on Easter Sunday. Today, was perfect, besides a few little clouds and a lot of pollen. I hope everyone had a great Easter Sunday!

A day at the park

The weather here has been absolutely perfect! Yesterday afternoon, Jeremiah and I decided to take the boys to play at the park, and to get some fresh air. Hudson didn't have too much fun,(I think he is getting more teeth, and has been really fussy) but Colson had a blast. At one point he told me, "Mom, I didn't come to take pictures, I came to play!"

Take me out to the Ballgame...

Monday night, Colson had his very first T-Ball game. It was so much fun to watch him run around like a crazy man. His team did so good and they were all so cute! His team is Creative Carpet Orioles, and he is #6. He also has 3 little, tiny girls on his team, and they are so precious, I'm sure I was just like them when I was starting out. Here are a few pictures from his game...

Colsons Bumps

I really have been needing to blog this for almost 2 weeks, but we have been having major computer issues and I didn't have these pictures on my phone.

Colson had to have about 10 bumps frozen off his neck at the beginning of the month. We really have tried to amp Colson up about having them froze off because we were thinking it wouldn't be the most pleasant experience. However, He has shown us how tough he really is. The only time they have bothered him was the day it was done. Four hours after they put the medicine on them, we, and by we I mean I, had to take his band aids off his neck and Jeremiah had to wash the spots with soap and warm water. As soon as I started peeling off the band aids, I saw the fear in his eyes, and I lost it. It hurt him so much because the tape of the band aid was on the head of the bump, and it almost ripped it off. I think that aggravated them so much that the soap and water was excruciating. After he calmed down, he was fine, we played outside the rest of the morning, and then some more that afternoon.

I was prepared for this day to be the end of the world. I was already ready to give him some major TLC. I went and got his request he had put in at the beginning of the week, which consisted of Fruit Roll-Ups, and real Rice Krispy treats. I also made his some chocolate covered strawberries, and put together a goodie bag. I think he had one or two fruit roll-ups, 2-3 strawberries, and no rice krispy treats. He looked in his bag and said, "Nah, you can have it Dad..." and that was that.

We go back Thursday to see "Dr. Bumpits" for his follow up appointment. I'm thinking we may have to freeze another spot or 2. We will see!!

By the way, the bumps are Molluscum contagiosum. It is a relatively common viral infection of the skin that most often affects children. It results in firm bumps (papules) that are painless and usually disappear within a year without treatment. If the papules are scratched or injured, the infection can spread to surrounding skin.--Mayo Clinic.
**He had the bumps over a year, and they had spread.**

And another...

Here's the canvas I did for the door in our carport.

Spring Canvas

Here is my new canvas I made over the weekend for our black front door. The design may look a little familier, thats because I used the main design from our yard flag in our front yard, I just reversed the colors in a few different spots! I really, really like how this canvas turned out!
