My Masterpiece

I am by no means bragging, but this turned out way better than I thought it would. Just took me two weeks! It's going in my bathroom, if I can keep K from stealing it.

SnowMAN

This may offend some, but well...welcome to my world. This is what my boys built on the hood of my Tahoe.

**I redeem myself on the next post.

Trash Talking

I got Steve and Buzzy an XBox for Christmas. We took Buzzy to the motorcross thingy at the Convention Center a couple of weekends ago and that's all he talks about now. He wanted to go that night and get an XBox motorcross game. We got him one for Valentine's Day and everynight for a few nights this is what I have gotten to watch. This was mild. When they first start it gets a little heated. They either play this or they play Big Game Hunter where they hunt either deer, elk or bobcats. Such a treat!

We have a Name....

Our new baby's name is Jack Henry. And if there is a nickname, it has to be Buster. That is the only one that we will accept. Ok, now I know you want to know why on all of the names. Jack, of course, is after Jackie Lee, my dad. Henry is after my grandfather who's name was James Henry, and his father who's name was Henry Franklin. My grandfather was known, like Buzzy, by his nickname - Buster. I did not know my grandfather, because he passed away before I was born. I feel like I did know him, because I have been told so many stories about him from not only my parents, but so many family members and even people that were not kin to him. He was a very well liked person and I have never heard one negative thing about him. My Mamaw used to always tell me how much he would have loved me because he loved children, but especially little girls. Me and one other cousin, I think, are the only ones that didn't get to know him. He always gave nicknames to his grandchildren too. Steve and I decided last night on the name because we were afraid that MiMi would come up with a silly nickname that would stick. I give her credit, she has been trying hard, but luckily nothing has stuck. We feel safer giving him a name ahead of time, this time!

Paging Dr. Ashley

My Mother isn't someone that gets excited easily. So...for her to call Steve on his cell phone (something she never does), ask him to come to her house now (something else she would never do), and bring something to cut thread (huh?) means something isn't right. Well add into the equation a little boy named Buzzy and things begin to make sense.

Buzzy had to play with her thread today. She told him not to wrap it around his finger too tight, so what does he do? Wraps as much as he can, as tight as he can around his finger. MiMi stayed calm, but she wasn't far from panic. His finger was a nice shade of lilac. Steve had to use his razor blade pocket knife to cut a little away at a time.
Buzzy was cooperative, which is shocking.
Once the thread was off, he decided his finger was hot. He had to cool it in the freezer.
Thank goodness the color gradually came back. Boys! And I'm going to have two! I am living the opposite life that my Dad did. He was always in a house of girls; me, mom, and every animal we ever had (with the exception of horses) were female. Now I live in a house that has all males; Steve, Buzzy, new baby, hamster, dog, and rabbit. Something doesn't seem right here. As K would say...Way too much testosterone!

Valentine's Day

I love my boys! This is what they surprised me with the night before Valentine's Day. Buzzy couldn't wait. They had went on a shopping trip together and he was about to pop! He had to give me it that night! I think they had a little disagreement over what to get. Steve said that Buzzy just had to have this balloon and flower. Steve wanted to get me something else, but Buzzy wouldn't hear of it. I bet they were a sight in the madness at the store! I wish I could get a copy of the surveillance video! My cheeks hurt from smiling so much. Knowing that Buzzy picked this out himself, made it more special than anything I have ever received for Valentine's Day. He told me "Momma I got this for you because I love you so much." What could ever top that?

It's A......

boy!! We went the Dr. King's today and found out we are having another boy! Everything looked good and healthy. They checked the brain, lungs, heart, liver, kindneys, stomach.....and other things that I can't pronounce, but they said everything looks perfect. Buzzy told everyone that he came in contact with today that he was going to find out if he was going to have a brother or a sister. He also made it clear to everyone that he wanted a sister. When the nurse told him he was going to have a brother, he gritted his teeth and growled and went and sat by the door! He kept saying he was ready to go then! He's acting a little better, but he's still not quite over it yet! I am going to redo my sunporch and make it into the playroom and it is going to be so much easier to decorate it for two boys! We would have loved a little girl, but if it was reversed I would be saying that I would have loved another little boy. All my life I have said that I just wanted boys, so my wish has been granted! Just wanted everyone to know it looks healthy as can be and was for sure a boy!
