Pumpkins, leaves and tantrums

I don't really know what else to title this.  We have been to the pumking patch, which was fun.  We even attempted to take some pics in the leaves outside, not so fun.  Parker does well most of the time, but Reid ,well , let's just say that is where the third word in the blog came from.  He is having one of those weeks. He is a very active 2 year old is all I can say.  Daddy did carve a pumpkin with him. Reid liked it but I think Mark enjoyed it more.  Both boys have ear infections which means lots of getting us up in the middle of the night, which is why this will be a short post. I am tired to say the least.  But tonight while watching Tinker Bell for the fifth time in two days, Reid says " Mommy I love you."  So I will end on that because that made me so happy :) Oh and I threw in one of Reid helping me make brownies. He really likes to do this and licks the spoon many times.

Ta Da!!

Parker hasn't started crawling yet, but he can pull himself up to Reid's train table.  He is a little fireball.  He wants to be right in the middle of the action and playing wherever Reid might be.  So when I was getting my makeup on the other day I looked in and he was pulling up to the table to play.  Also in the pics you will see Reid being a little rough with him, we call it brotherly love. Today at breakfast Reid gave him a cheerio and said something I did not understand . After saying what are you saying twice he finally yelled it and I figured out he was saying" I a good brother, because I shared."  Well at least this time he did.  Reid is also the one who wants his binky still.  Parker could care less if he has one.  Oh the joys of spoiling your first child.  But Parker is getting spoiled as well I believe, he loves to be held or paid attention to all the time. 
Since the weather has been yucky we have been inside and are ready for some sun.  Hopefully she will shine on us this weekend while Daddy is away at the OU/Texas game.  This will be my first attempt to be home alone since having children.  Well that is all for now , I finally have a new camera on the way so I hope my pics are better soon.  Laundry calls me.  Oh and a quick prayer of thanks that our family has not been sick yet and our prayers continue to be with Baby Ella.  God is good and has done great things with her so far :)

Love Fall

I haven't posted lately because I have been busy and I have been having to use my old camera, yuck.  Hopefully we will get a new one soon.  So we love fall at our house, besides the fact that we have a zillion trees. This means daddy spends alot of time cleaning up leaves.    We have gotten to play outside, roast marshmellows by our fire pit thingy and watch Parker learn to move alot .  Parker loves attention which is why he is crying as I type because I am not playing with him on the floor.  He and Reid both love balls of all sizes.  We have managed to loose tons of the small bouncy ones and I have no idea where they go.  I am sure we will find a stack of them sometime when we move. 

Fair Time

My camera is not working right now , so no pictures with this post.  I have not had a chance to blog lately.  But....... it is fair week.  I said we were only going to go a few nights.  Well like most other times in my life since children,  I ate my words.  Reid loved it.  He loves seeing people, looking at the animals, playing the games, and even riding a few rides.  He has asked me 1,000 times a day," Mommy we going to fair now."  I tell him it is closed and he goes into fit mode.  After waking up yesterday from naptime, he said I took a nap, now we can go to the fair.  I said not tonight Reid, oh the tears started flowing.  So when daddy got home he started in on him.  So after dinner , guess what , we went to the fair.  He cries when we leave.  I am still not sure what we will do when Sat comes and he really can't go to the fair anymore.  I guess we will cross that rode when it gets here.  I am going to miss the way he is learning to remember things and say cute words.  He got upset the other night while watching a movie saying faster daddy, we finally realized he meant louder.   He loves for Parker to sit and play ball with him and Parker(Deuce) ,as daddy calls him, loves it too.  Hope the brotherly love lasts. :)

Camp Fire Fun

Awwww three day weekends, gotta love em.  It just seems though that you go and go and don't get much rest.  We had a good one though.  Got to hang out with the fam.  Reid said I want to see Aunt JaJa, Shanna and Rafael( which is hilarious because he says Rafael with a deep voice)  alllllllllll weekend. He loves them so much, he cries when they leave.  Hmm wonder if it is because they spoil him every second they are around.  He got to roast hot dogs , make smores and eat watermelon on one of the nights.  Parker just got to watch, maybe next year Parks.  Happy Labor Day All!!  We are thankful for our family. God is good.

Oh what a beautiful morning.....................

The weather has been so awesome. We played outside today. Both boys love to be outside. Parker prefers to be held, but since my left shoulder is killing me from doing this too much, I put him in his stroller and even let him sit on the grass for the first time. Reid sidewalk chalked , rode his four wheeler and hit some baseballs. It is 2 and I am already worn to a frazzle. Hopefully their naps last a few hours. Right, wishful thinking , Parker will only stay asleep for max, 3o minutes. Oh well maybe after this post I can fold the two loads of laundry, empty the dishwasher and take a shower, all in that time frame. :) OR not.............

Thank you lord for this beautiful weather and fun times with my boys. I am so blessed to get to stay at home with them, even on days I feel like a chicken with my head cut off.

Beautiful Night to Go to the Pond

Saturday night we headed out to our land to eat a good ole Sonic burger and fly a kite. For those of you who don't know we will have two very large ponds in the near future. Reid loves to run and play , we tried to fly a kite, with not much luck. I am trying to adjust to the fact that I will someday be spending alot of time outdoors because it looks like that is what my boys will be doing. It was such a great night with great weather. Parker liked it some of the time, but as captured above , he had a few not so fun moments :)
