I DO IT!

Ryan continues to amaze me. Lately he wants to be involved

in everything related to taking care of Matthew. Just last

night, I was feeding Matthew his dinner, when Ryan says to

me I DO IT MOMMA! I said you want to feed Matthew his

dinner, Ryan says OKAY! Too Cute!

BATHTIME

I have to say I have been looking for to the day when my boys could take a bath together. I mean it's obviously easier throwing them in the tub together but I think there is nothing more precious than seeing them in the tub squealing and giggling at each other. Ryan even insisted on bathing Matthew saying I DO IT MOMMA.

Sweet Home Mississippi

There is a reason Mississippi is the Fattest State, the food is just so darn good. With restaurants with names like Fat Baby's and The Country Platter you know you are in trouble. And ya'll the Mexican food is soooo much better than it is in Texas. Texas should really be ashamed that Mississippi has better Mexican food. I remember the first time Chad came home with me he could'nt believe how good the Mexican food was either. Who knew that Mississippi Mexicans cook better than Texas Mexicans. There is this local hamburger joint in my home town called Frostop. It has always been a favorite of mine. The place has been there forever. My grandmother even worked there when my momma was little. So obviously this place is special :) When you get your food to go they give it to you in a plain brown paper bag and by the time you get home the bag is cover in grease, so you know its gonna be good, oh yeah baby. But my favorite thing from there is there Root Beer. It is so TASTY, and if you dine in there they serve it in Frosted Mugs, D-lish. I can't go home without, having Root Beer from frostop, a sno cone from summer snow(ice cream with cream flavor), and mexican food.

Ryan The Protective Big Brother

Ryan has really surprised me lately. He has been so sweet and loving with Matthew. He always wants to help feed Matthew. Whenever Matthew spits up Ryan is so quick to grab a burp cloth and wipe it up. Now remember we are talking about Ryan 2year old. Anytime we our around a big group especially kids he is very protective of Matthew. He doesn't want a bunch of people messing with his little brother. But just this week he did something that touched my heart so and made me SO PROUD of him. Matthew had his 6 month checkup which means shots. Poor Matthew had to get 3 shots, 1 oral vaccine, and blood draw. So Matthew wasn't a happy camper. So while the nurse was giving Matthew his shots Matthew started crying and Ryan walked over to Matthew patted his head, gave him a kiss and said its OK Matt. Even the nurse was touched. Now don't get me wrong if Matthew even looks at one of Ryan's toys Ryan screams NO Matt its MINE, but nevertheless I am so proud of Ryan, such a good big brother.

Matthew weighed 19.2 lbs 75% and was 26in 25%, so he is still our little fat budda baby.

Date night with my boys

Well today Chad was on call, so after the boys naps I was thinking about taking the boys to the beach for a little while. By the time I got everything ready, it was getting close to dinner time. So I came up with a plan. I would load the boys up in the stroller, walk to New York Pizzeria, have a nice dinner with my boys then head across the street to the beach for a little fun before bath and bedtime. So off we went to New York Pizzeria. Ryno had a huge slice of cheese pizza and I had a nice grilled chicken salad. Now outside of New York Pizzeria there is a nice water fountain with tables for outside dining. The whole time we were eating (inside) Ryan kept talking about the water fountain. So after Ryan and I finished dinner, I decided I would feed Matthew outside so we could enjoy the breeze and nice water fountain before heading to the beach. So just as I'm sitting down to start feeding Matthew I hear a big splash and look over at the water fountain and big surprise Ryan is swimming in it. So I fed Matthew while Ryan enjoyed a little dip in the local water hole. It was all fun and laughs until Ryan wanted to step it up a notch and decide he wanted to enjoy the fountain with no clothes on. Well that's where I drew the line and that's where Ryan melted down. He managed to get his shirt off and was working on his pants, when I decided this lovely evening was fading fast. So we wrapped up our dinner and headed home. No need to head to the beach after all that excitemetn. Ryan was not happy about it. Poor Ryan he has such mean parents. Enjoy the pictures below!!
