November 2016

Spoiler alert: We survived November. Somehow. It was hard. My hunk-a-burnin-love is an amazing human. Somehow, he continues to manage his classes and take care of me! I am ready for January. 

I have had days where I feel like our life has fallen apart. It probably has, and hopefully it's temporary! Grayson can now open the marshmallow cereal and before I notice, eat too many of just the marshmallows! 

 

My mom came to visit for Grayson's first primary program! She brought easy meals, cleaned my house and helped with the kids! What would we do without moms?! Grayson was so so so so so so excited to talk in the microphone! He did a wonderful job! We love our 4 year old! My sister Chalese got creative with the camera and took some cute photos on one of the last sunny days of November!

 






Our house LOVES TV. No shame.

Shout out to my sister for letting us use her Disney Jr.! Lion Guard and Mickey Mouse have made the chaos... less. It's been heavensent to say the least!
She also visited and my boys finally got to meet their newest cousin! They were SO excited to feed him his bottle! He is such a good baby! And so stinking cute and squishy!

 

It stuck with Grayson, because his teacher sent me a picture of him feeding a doll at school! All on his own! Very sweet picture!

Grayson found my make-up one day. He proudly strutted into the room and said, "mom, my face!" He was very proud of himself. The mess however......

 

My boys have turned into quite the playmates! For the most part they play very well together! I've heard it doesn't last, but for now, I love their relationship!

 

Thanksgiving came and went. This year I'm thankful for Amazon and Walmart Pick-up! They have been lifesavers this pregnancy! It snowed and this is only the beginning of Snowpocalipse 2017! My boys love snow, because they like to eat it! We set up the Christmas tree! I love Christmas! This year, the boys are starting to understand Christmas! You'll see on the next blog!

 

 

 

Until next time....

October 2016

The beginning and ending of October presented out family with two VASTLY different lifestyles! In the beginning the boys and I took a trip to see my family for the weekend! Tyler stayed behind and spent the weekend working on homework that is more easily done without a wife and children present! We spent the weekend playing with fun toys and eating lots of good food! We always play with and wear Mr. Bentley out! Poor boy was so tired!

 

Next, we went to the dentist! The boys are proud to show off that they got toys and stickers, because they are cavity free!

 

Then, my sister gave birth to the chunkiest lump of cuteness! Just look at him!!

 

The leaves started falling and summer started coming to an end! My boys love to help Tyler rake and then jump in the leaves!

 

 

For Halloween, I found the coolest, yet lamest costumes! My boys LOVE dinosaurs and I found some used dragon costumes! They are so awesome! We laugh at the opportunity to make them look adorable, yet ridiculous! You only get to for so long you know! Then they form like, opinions and stuff... They also LOVE painting pumpkins. It is a favorite activity!

 

 

 

For our big Swallow get together we went fishing! It was so fun! It was a hatchery type of place, so the fish were pretty good size and a little easier to catch! We ate VERY well afterword! Well, I did. Many of the Swallows do not like fish; more for me! For late October, it was a BEAUTIFULLY warm day! I think I caught the 2nd biggest fish! My daddy would be proud!

 

  

We got some special news in October! We found out that we are expecting baby #3. Boy did we know it fast. I was completely incapacitated by the end of October. I'm on three medications, taking a 3 credit class and Tyler is taking 12 credits! We both have busy callings and the two boys to care for! There is no down time for this! There have been lots of tears as this is by far the hardest pregnancy! We only pray and have faith that we are blessed to endure this physical weakness. We are excited for baby, I just wish it was a little easier. The best things are never easy, however! We can only look forward to the second trimester! Baby is due on our anniversary! We love summer babies!

Until next time...
