Soulwalk 2008 was a success!

Thank you to all of you that supported us this year in Soulwalk 2008! We did the walk this past Saturday, Sept. 27th at Bicentennial Park in Nashville. We went over our goal and had lots of prayers on our behalf b/c we had a very good day! The boys had a great time and Brad came home with a pulled hamstring. Here a few pics of our day!

6 months and counting....

Here is Rylan a few weeks ago at 6 months old.

Middle Brother and Little Brother...

Here is a very rare picture - rare because Brantley never is smiling in photos. Yeah - we got a smile from him. He's so much like me (even though he looks just like Brad) that I have to just love him in spite of it all.

Peek a BOO!

Here is Rylan in his early Halloween outfit!

Attack of the Killer Spaghetti!

Here is Brantley and Rylan in the car with a spaghetti "thing" that was bought on a stop to Cracker Barrell. I'm not sure why they wanted this so badly but you can see that we had fun with it when Brantley fell asleep in the car.

"You're Pretty Mommy"

One more Brantley'ism before I head to bed....
I have noticed that when I get agitated at Brantley lately and get on to him about something that he has started saying "You're pretty mommy" every time before he does or says anything else. I finally asked him tonight if he was saying it because he thinks I am mad and he said "yes". I guess our little guys are smarter than we think - maybe Daddy can learn that when Mommy is upset that a little compliment goes a long way! Ha, Ha!

Rylan is Now Crawling!

Rylan is officially a crawler now - right at 6 months old! There will be pictures to come but I didn't get any today...
I am so proud of him because he has really taken to it and loves being able to get what he wants. I hope it will slim him down a little.
His weight at 6 months tops out at 24 pounds!

We Miss Daddy!

Well let's start by saying that this week has not been all that it was cracked up to be...
Sunday, Brad left for Atlanta to do a trade show and will not return until tomorrow (Wed). So I had planned to be alone with all 4 kids anyway...even though I felt a sinus infection coming on strong I still felt like I could handle it...
THEN...Sunday night at midnight I woke up with a stomach virus (no details necessary) and had it ALL night long. I then had to feed a baby at 3 a.m. and get enough sleep between 3 and 6 to not be a zombie the next day.
By 6 a.m. when I had to wake Monet up I had gotten maybe 2 hours of sleep all night. I did manage to shuffle downstairs to get MOnet going and get the boys ready to go to Mother's Day Out. I prayed all morning that God would just give me the strength to get through the day okay...and He did. The baby slept most all day and so did I! I picked the boys up from school and when Monet got home she helped out a lot. I feel better today except for the sinus infection that's still sticking around but no stomach stuff! Praise the Lord!
Bryant has asked me every day when Daddy is coming home - it seems that when mommy is "under the weather" that Daddy is even more missed!

It's Official - Brantley is Potty Trained!

Yes, Brantley is finally potty trained and out of diapers. I am proud to say that he is not even 2 and 1/2 yet and got it down sooner than Bryant did (at 3 years old). Let's just hope that he doesn't regress. Bryant was doing good a week ago at night without a pull-up but we have had to revert back because of some accidents...that's okay though - we will keep trying!

Congratulations to my big boys on their potty accomplishments!
