This and That

I think today I will just start with pictures and move forward from there.


This picture was not staged! We seriously found them like this in the living room this week. I have to be honest with you, Drew had it coming!He loves to aggravate his brother and JC is probably going to be bigger than him in just a few short years! And JC is kinda a bully. So as he grows bigger and bigger things may get really interesting for the big brother!



Also this week, JC discovered the drum set! The boys take a bath together every night. JC is always first to get out. Jim does the actual bathing part and I get JC all lotioned up and dressed. So by the time I get done with him Drew is usually getting out. JC loves to head off, crawling as fast as he can, to find his brother. He is getting more and more curious about different parts of the house and has now started getting into Drew's room more. Well this week he got in there and for the first time discovered the drum set! He immediately starting trying to play on it with his hands, so we gave him a drum stick! It was so cute! This one will definitely be a drummer I think, Drew we are not so sure about, maybe a trumpet for him!




JC gets pretty rowdy in the car in the mornings. It is a good solid 30min trip each way. This week he started playing with his toes and actually putting them in his mouth! YUCK! But man to be that flexible again!! This was just after we had dropped Drew off at school. Usually he fusses the entire way from the school to the daycare but he realized I was taking his picture so he hammed it up!


This morning after his bath he decided he would do little reading.

After reading he decided to go in pursuit of his brother. In bubba's room he found this ball! Bubba could not be pictured due to the fact that he was naked and jumping on his bed!

This boy loves balls! He will chase them around the house for a long time! He has a smaller one than this that he absolutely loves! My aunt gave it to him for Easter and it has been one of his favorite things!

Well, I finally feel like we can breath a little bit. Most evening now we are all home together, which is soooo nice. All the band stuff is behind us and other than Drew's baseball games we do not have many activities going on throughout the week. Now the weekends are an entirely different story! Today we have a birthday party for my brother-in-law. It is a 40th party and it is going to be a lot of fun, really looking forward to it. Next Saturday is the OB graduation, I have a wedding to attend, and we have a graduation party to attend that evening! Busy day! The next weekend we will be having JC's birthday party, followed by another wedding that Saturday. I am getting to take a couple of days off of work that weekend though, that Friday of the birthday party and that Monday is Memorial Day, so that will make is a bit easier on everyone. It is so hard to believe that we will be celebrating his 1st birthday in just a week and a half! Where has all that time gone!

We are only 4 weeks away from our Beach Vacation!! Thankfully at this point the oil spill seems to be taking a southwestward track away from the Alabama coast line. There is the possibility of oil bubbles coming up, but they will not close the beaches for that. We have been planning this trip for over a year now and would not want it to have to be cancelled. Of course far more important than our vacation plans is the fact that people lost their lives in that explosion.

Well, it is time for me to start getting ready for the birthday party. I am truly committed to writing more often now that things have slowed down. There is so much that happens day to day that has not been getting documented, but that is just life I guess!

Till next time that is all from the Mayos!
