My First

Well I had to sign my first permission slip yesterday for Payton to go on a school field trip. I know it is my first of many but he is not even 3 yet.

Today!

Payton had another successful speech session. they can't believe how quickly he picks up different sign language signs. He will now sign "please" It is so cute. We go tomorrow to meet his teacher and talk about his goals for the rest of the school year.

Braxton is starting to walk a little more when we hold his hands. He knows my schedule and will wake up at 6:30 am to see me and then will lay back down. He loves his mom! He is to cute.

Family News!

Well last week we got some bad news that my mom has cancer. She is going to have surgery in the coming week and hopefully it hasn't spread to her lymph nodes. We won't know the stage until they do surgery.

Oh Poop!

It has begun. Braxton will not leave his pants on. Daddy found him yesterday with his pants off diaper off and poop everywhere. Daddy had to clean up and give Braxton a bath. Payton did this once. Braxton loves to take things a part. He took his pants off and had half his sheet off his bed. He is a destroyer!

Oh Ketchup!

Well the boys are bonding. It started last night when we saw them go in to the kitchen together. We didn't think anything of it until Jeff and I started to hear them both laugh and get quiet and then laugh and laugh and laugh. I made the comment that I wonder what was making them laugh so much. Jeff went in to the kitchen and then I heard "Jenn you need to come in here". Payton and Braxton were both covered with ketchup. Payton had gotten it out of the refridgerator and then squirted it on the table. They were both finger painting my table and eating it. They had also decided to play with the matchbox cars in it. So I took Braxton and cleaned him up and Jeff cleaned Payton up. Jeff and I both looked at each other and said this is only the beginning. WE love having boys...

Catch UP!

Well I know it has been a while since we wrote anything but here is a catch up. Payton is now signing more and has learned go and shoes. He is picking up some words also. He loves to look at the moon and point it out and say moon a hundred times. We are very proud of him.

Braxton is not walking but he is getting into more trouble. He loves to throw things and he likes to touch the tv. Anything he can open or close and he loves to terrorize Lily (dog). He is a destroyer.

Payton and Braxton are playing more together and it is good to see. We still have to remind Payton that he can tackle him like he does his dad. Payton's birthday is a month and he will be 3. We can't believe it.

We had a cold but fun Easter. Jeff went to visit family in Wisconsin and the boys and I had some alone time together. We had activities everyday. We look forward to Spring so we can get outside.

There we are all caught up!

Where did it all begin.....

This is a blog about the lives of a non-traditional midwestern family. I am a full time working mother of two beautiful boys and a wife to a stay at home husband. We were married on June 15, 2002 and were blessed with two boys, Payton (4-19-05) and Braxton (2-08-07).
