Big Boy School

Thanks to Daddy Will is signed up to go to school again next year. Mommy had a hard decision on how many days to send him. She went back and forth and even asked the opinion of Gigi (who taught MWF 3's for a LONG TIME!).... Mommy finally decided to send Will 2 days instead of 3. I guess after being hermits while Will was sick, Mommy would still like an extra day with her boy! Mommy plans on sending him 3 days when he is 4!

We will sign up Ben on Wednesday...mommy will get 2 mornings to herself this fall!

297,000..what???

You read it....Will had 297,000 platelets today at his well check. We are so relieved and grateful. Both boys were healthy and did very well at the doctor's office. Will had his finger pricked and Ben had those nasty shots!

Will was 38 1/2 inches tall (75%) and weighed 38lbs. 7 oz. (95%). It is funny at age 2 he was 90% height and 50% weight.

Ben was 30 1/4 inches tall (68%) and weighed 22lbs 5 oz. (43%) and his head was 50cm which was off the chart (99%)!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Ben!!!

Today Ben is officially one year old at 5:40 pm. His arrival was sooner than we planned but everything worked out ok! I have posted a couple pics of Ben from earlier this year and hope to do more later. (Someone wants to be held right now) We have a little cake just for him to have this evening. Both boys have well checks tomorrow so I will post their stats after we get them.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is Daddy's 31st birthday. We had a birthday breakfast of pancakes (at Will's request). Mommy and Daddy are going out to eat tonight to celebrate with some friends and Gigi, Pop, and Uncle Robby are going to babysit. We hope Daddy has a great day and knows that we appreciate everything he does!

The pic is one of our engagement pics...

Ben's Cake!

We had celebrated Ben's first birthday this past weekend also. He was a little overwhelmed with all the family but was fine after a few minutes. Ben was not sure about the cake either...but after a little help from Daddy he got really into it! Here are some pics of Ben enjoying his cake!

Happy 3rd Birthday Will!!!

Will was officially 3 at 1:40 pm today. He had a great time at his family birthday party this weekend. He recieved some nice new toys...his favorites are as of today are his John Deere hay baler, cutting food pizza and his BIG dump truck! I cannot believe 3 years have past. I feel so blessed to have a beautiful (can I say that?) and healthy little boy!!!

Cupcake Time!

Mommy and Daddy took cupcakes to Will's school today. We got there a little early so we got to sit with him while he ate lunch. He was excited to see us and wanted to show us how he did things at school. The kiddos liked the cupcakes. Some ate the whole thing and some just licked the icing off. The director came by and asked whose birthday it was and Will yelled "mine" and had cupcake all over his face! It was very funny. He also told her he was three..which is funny because he has refused to tell us he is three...he says 2 and a half and then laughs.

Mommy and Daddy are about done making preparations for Will and Ben's family birthday celebration this weekend. Meme, Pop Pop, Papa Lee, Nana and Nanny are making the trip from MS. Daddy is making some homemade bar-b-que and it is really good....we had a sample for dinner the other night. Mommy has been trying to clean but usually feels like a futile effort!
