Sweet Dreams

On Monday afternoon I broke down and changed Gray's infant bed to a toddler bed. It almost broke my heart until I saw how much he enjoyed it. He can climb in and out freely and jump in it of course..cause that's the funnest part. Anyhow....the transition went way more smoothly than I had ever expected. He climbs right in and goes right to sleep. I have not had to go back and tell him to get back in bed once. He also has grown attached to this "Melmo"...mom brought it to him from Birmingham, along with a book that makes sounds. He loves blankets too. The more the better...After he's asleep I have to go in and remove at least one because he his a little hot box and is sweating like a pig.

Now....If only potty training was this easy....The first day, he did great! Pee-Peed on the potty all day. The second day...no way in hell. Was not having it. Third day...sat on the toilet, but nothing. Ah well. Rome wasn't built in a day. I will not give up....Yet. I still have a few tricks up my sleeve! Mommy will win this battle!!!!!

Wedding Weekend

Let me start by saying Congratulations to Ryan and Nadin...and Happy 50th birthday to Aunt Marlene. The Wedding was really nice. The entire family met back at Aunt Lu-Lu's house for Aunt Marlene's birthday party. It was a very long day. This is one of the few pictures I have, sorry. I just didn't have time to take any. The wedding and reception was held outside...BY A FREAKIN POOL. Can anybody guess? Chris and I spent the whole time keeping Gray from jumping in. I know Nanene took pictures with her camera, I will get her to e-mail them to me and I will post them. Gray looked super cute.

So...today is my first official day of unemployment. I filed for unemployment online this morning. I have already cleaned out two closets, done all the laundry, cleaned the house, Gray is taking his nap and when I finish this I am attacking another closet. Garage sale is pending for this coming weekend. On Monday, Chris, Gray, and I are taking off to Newton for the week. I am really excited about this...I could use the break. There is lots of wide open land..Gray can run till he falls over. We will get to fish in the pond, ride the four wheelers, and Chris hopes to hunt some Dove. I wont have computer access, so I wont be posting anything else till I get back. Happy Labor Day everybody!

Some Pool Time

Since Gray has finally recovered for the second time, I gave in and let him go outside. His fever fianlly "broke" on Thursday. His appetite has finally come back to almost normal. Gray had been begging to go outside and since he was asking for his pool, I figured the yard was far enough! Outside we went. He played for about an hour and had a great time.

The HAZBEENZ

Some of the guys Chris works with decided to put together a softball team and Chris was invited to play with them. They named themselves 'The HAZBEENZ" and are named appropriately I believe. They get their butts whipped most of the time but they have fun and thats all that matters. They have won two games! Here is a few action shots I took last week. Good hit honey!

New discovery....

I got a very interesting phone call from Grammie this morning. Here's how it went: G-Good Morning... J-good morning. G-Guess what I found this morning? J-What? G-Grayson has found something new to play with. J-Yeah? What's that? G-Well....its brown, really smelly, and he is covered head to toe...in POO. J-OMG ARE YOU KIDDING!!! G-Fraid not...between his toes, between his fingers, all over his jammies, in his hair, all over his face, in his ear, up and down arms and legs. (She was laughing, by the way, I however am mortified). G-I took off his clothes, grabbed the wipes, got off what I could and brought him home and put him straight in the tub. J-So I take it his bed is still a mess? G-Oh yeah, be careful when you open his door. J-MOM! You cant just leave it like that! So needless to say I hung up and raced home to clean up Gray's bed. When I got there....I could smell it from the kitchen. OH MY GOD. I grabbed the Clorox wipes, the Lysol and rubber clothes and went for it. All I can say was WOW. Sorry no pictures---way too disgusting. I thought the phone conversation was good enough. I know what your thinking....its because he's a boy...wrong! Girls do it too!!! HAHAHAHA ! Have a good day......My sons new Indian name: "plays with poop". LOL

**Correction--Grammie did offer to clean his room for me, I however told her she already done enough and that I would take care of it. The way I worded it earlier made it seem that she was going to leave the mess, but she did offer to clean it up for me. Sorry MOM!

Happy post

I received a request over the weekend for some happy pictures...Aunt B here are your happy pictures. Emjoy! Saturday was Cole's eighth birthday, his party was at the YMCA. Gray got go 'swimmin' and had a good time on their play set. I couldnt get any 'swimmin' pictures, sorry. Overall a quiet weekend, jus how I like it!
