MMR Shot

Yesterday Brody had his 15 month check-up. Everything looks good with Brody and he is performing at an 18 month level. I already could have guessed that considering that everyday he becomes more and more independent. This was the very first appointment that his daddy missed and we were very lonely without him. Also, he received his very first MMR shot and of coarse he had a reaction to it when I was all by myself. When I called his daddy he said bring him to me right now, so that is were we went. Casey was waiting at the front with benadryl in hand. After we got home Brody napped for a very long time and when he woke up the swelling was down and both him and I felt so much better.

I know that every kid needs to be vaccinated, but when they have a reaction to them it makes you question your decision.

May Days

We spent our May days at the park or at the house playing outside! Can't wait for June so we can spend our days in the pool!

He will be just like his Daddy

9 holes of Golf with Daddy and we walked the 9 instead of riding in the cart

O.k. Daddy give me the ball

We all had a really good time yesterday playing golf. I do believe that Brody will follow in his Daddy's footsteps and be a golfer. This makes Brody's 4th time being out on the greens and every time he has done really well. This is the first that we have walked and I really thought he would be wild, but he just carried his club and followed right after his Daddy.

Really missing my dad right now

I'm having a really bad day today! I Have so many issues right now with my house, issues that I would love to have my dad to talk to for the advice and just to hear his voice. Gosh why do things turn out like this.....I'm so angry right now and I just want him to come back! I need you right now...............I NEED MY DAD!

To my son

The Wonderful gifts you and your Daddy gave me
I was so happy for all the sweet things my guys did for me
I've been thinking a lot today about what I would say on this post. It's almost a feeling that can't be described when you have a child. You long to be close to them when your away. You can't wait for them to take a nap, but the second you lay them down and walk away you miss them and can't wait for the nap to end. There smell, smile, laughter, and even cry is what your world is about. The meaning of life changes in an instant when you hear your child cry for the very first time. My life was not complete before my child, but it took me having him before I realized this. It's the small things that matter now. Who cares if the house is a little dirty because today was spent playing with my son. This time is priceless, it's time I will never have back with him. Each day that goes by he is changing, changing into a little boy, then soon a man. I want to protect him, love him, guide him, and just be a good mom to him. He deserves to have a wonderful life, full of promises.

TO MY BRODY:

I thank God for you, without you I would not be a MOM. This is what I've dreamed about. This is what I was meant to do with my life. The challenges are hard and I might not make all the right decisions, but in the end all I have to give to you is my love, support and strength and to always be the best MOM to you. I love you so very much my sweet sweet son and I will always love you!

Your Mom!This Brown eyed handsome little man is what makes my Mother's Day the best

Rain Rain Go Away....

It has rained all day so my plans for today have been canceled. I was so looking forward to starting the planting process in the front of my house. Hopefully, in the next couple of days I can get everything bought and finish my work week so I can get things planted. I think this year I'm sticking to all inpatients in the front of my house. The only problem I have with that is I just don't know which color to pick. I usually go for all different colors, but this year I'd like to just do one color. Oh the decisions.......

Fun times with Great Friends

Casey and Chi

Casey and I packed the car and headed to Alabama to visit our Friends Chi and Agnes. We had a really great time with lots of wonderful food and fun. Brody was excellent in the car and was very well behaved in there house. It's nice to get away sometimes and just spend quality time with friends.
