Visit from Cuz Me Me

My cousin Michele came down for a visit with some of her friends and decided to surprise us with a visit also. We met up at the olive garden and had dinner and spent the evening just reminiscing on good ole times! I really wish we lived closer so we could have many more days like this. Thanks Michele for coming to Knoxville!

Back to work I go

Gosh has it been 8 days already???? This week has flown by and now I go back to work tonight. I really dread these weeks, but I am thankful I have a job to go to. Also, the adult conversation is always good too after a week full of baby talk and baby activities. Today started out rough again with Brody waking up at 9:30 and in a really bad mood. Wonder if it's teething or does he have the Kimberly curse of moodiness! Maybe tonight when it's daddy's turn to watch the little Bubba's he will get him back on track with sleeping late. Casey always seems to exhaust the little monkey with his ability to play basketball all night. Who would have thought that a Little Tikes basketball goal would entertain a 30 year old man. He has the perfect team mate because Brody will go and fetch his ball so Casey doesn't even have to move. It's really funny to watch a 30 year old and a 1 year old play ball. Hopefully this week at work will be great and maybe by next week I'll be able to sleep in until noon again.

I love days like this

I started my day out sluggish and really didn't feel like doing much of nothing. As the day progressed with many and I mean many cokes in my system we decided we would go to the lake beside the house. I had such a good time watching my little man discover sand and just watching him look at all the little kids running around. He really wasn't interested in swinging, he just wanted to look at the other's doing it. It's funny because he wanted to stand right in front of the kids swinging and yes he went limp noodle when I tried to move him away lol! What a fun day I had with my guys!

Brody has spoiled his Momma

Gosh today Brody woke up at 9:30 and my body just wasn't rested enough! He usually lets me sleep until noon, but with this new time change he has started getting up early. I can't wait for his nap today because I'm going to nap with him. You don't realize how important those extra hours of sleep are until you don't get them! OH I NEED SLEEP!!!!

A Momma Day.... The face says it all...

So it's 12:30 and I'm still in bed. Casey is up cleaning the house and wants me to join in, but why can't I have a Momma Day?? He gets to sleep in and he gets to take naps while I'm up doing the chores! He keeps coming in saying why are you not up yet are you going to stay in bed all day??? My brain needs a mini-vacation, from all the thinking about whats to eat, when Brody had his last poop, singing the silly songs to make him laugh, figuring out why he is crying, saying slow down you might fall, and from just doing the everyday things a Momma and wife does! I swear the list is never ending. I want to just stay in bed today and do nothing and I think that is just what I will do. I hope my household can survive without Momma! To be honest it's not going very well so far!

Can't wait for summer

Gosh I'm so ready for summer! Today was a wonderful day and Brody and I took advantage of this beautiful day. He is still trying to learn to walk in the grass and is learning very quick that when you run down a hill you get faster and faster. It's really funny how quick they learn different things. I do believe though, I have an outdoors boy on my hands. That is just fine with me considering I spend most of my time outside in the summer. What a day I tell you and we can't wait for more days like these!!

Can't point my peepers away for a second!

Brody is so funny now that he can explore and get into things! Today after I had just refilled his diaper stacker, I walked out of the room just for a second and when I returned he was going to town ripping these diapers out. I just couldn't help but to laugh at him because he was on a mission. He was determined to pull as many out as he possibly could before I caught him. I had to get some pictures and put this on video. When I started recording him, he started shaking his head "NO"! The entire time he is saying NO he is still pulling diapers out! This child is keeping me young!!
