Sippy Cup war!

Loving his Bottle

O.K. so yesterday at 8:45 pm Casey and I were on a mission to find the best sippy cup for our picky little monkey! He already has 6 different kinds and now add 6 more to that list. When we got home I let him get all the cups out of the bag and we told him he was such a big boy now and the bottle's were just for little babies. So last night Brody had his last bottle and when I put him to bed I packed up all but one just in case he wouldn't do the sippy cups. WELL.......HE WANT USE ANY OF THE SIPPY CUPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm about to go crazy and broke from buying so many cups!!!!!!!!!!!!! When he was 4 months he loved the sippy cup. He just now has started not to drink from them. What is the problem??? It's really bothering me to think that he is not getting any fluids. Casey says"BE STRONG KIM." I just want him to have something to drink!!! If any of you Momma's have any suggestions please leave me a comment!! I'm desperate and I will try anything!

My Casey

I wanted to give my husband some recognition for being such an excellent father. Yesterday, was Brody's one year check-up and Casey had to work. He has never missed one doctors visit that Brody has had and he wasn't going to miss this one. He left work early to be there for our little guy and to help me out as well. He is such a great father and husband. I don't say that enough to him, but he truly is a blessing and Brody and I love him so much.

Brody's 1 year check-up

Yesterday was Brody's one year check-up. The first thing out of the doctors mouth was he is very tall and lanky!!! Considering this is how his daddy is made I took this as a compliment. Brody was very well behaved and had all the nurses under his spell before we left out of the office. I think it's the long eyelashes and those dark dark eyes of his. He got very lucky yesterday because he only had to have one shot this time, due to a shortage of the other vaccine. He will get the other at a later date when it becomes available. We spoke to his doctor about the chance of Brody having Muscular Dystrophy and the doctor seemed certain that Brody doesn't have it. For the first time leaving that doctors office I felt relieved. God has definitely answered my prayers and many others concerning this issue. He said that most kids with MD have a different way of getting around and I know that first hand because of Ethan. He said Brody looks perfect THANK GOD!!!!

We ask him about the temper tantrums and he advised us to start ignoring him when he does this and put him in a room by himself so he can cry it out. We will try this for a while to see how it works, I'll keep you posted because I'm very skeptical about this lol.

Playing with dirt





My Angel



The past two days of my life were spent doing the most amazing thing ever!! I'm sure you are wondering what in the world I'm talking about....... I've spent two days just watching my son play outside. It's so cute to see him discover new parts of the world and to watch the excitement through his eyes. He discovered dirt yesterday and yes probably most of you have never thought dirt was a discovery, but to a one year old it's the most amazing thing ever. He runs his little fingers through it, scoops it up in his shovel, throws it on the ground, and I even caught him tasting it! (Don't worry I ate dirt when I was little and I'm just fine) He brought me some dirt yesterday and you could just see the excitement on his face when he gave it to me. I acted like it was the greatest thing ever too!
I love just watching him play. It brings back such good memories for me of my wonderful childhood.

It's fun to be one

Brody










Charlie, Tracey, & Miss Emma

Saturday was spent with the Southerland's celebrating Miss Emma's Birthday! It was such a girly party and we had so much fun. Brody was really funny when they started singing to Miss Emma he thought they were singing to him, so he put his face in his Daddy's Chest to hide! So funny my little Bubba's! Happy Birthday Miss Emma!

Baby Jonah!

JONAH ETHAN

THESE BOYS ARE WAITING ON A HEALING

Just wanted everyone that has been coming to my site to say a little pray today for Jonah and his family! I read her blog everyday and today he has had a bad day. Everyone knows, that when your baby is having a bad day, you also are having a bad day. I just pray that this family will receive a healing and God will help them through this very difficult time in there lives. My heart just aches for his Mother! Although, Ethan is not my son I can relate to her story so much with his situation. Ethan had a surgery 2 years ago and that child was in so much pain that the meds would not even touch! April his Mother and I just felt so helpless and all we could do was just hold our boy! The pain that comes from watching your precious child in so much discomfort is sometimes to much to bare! All we could do was pray for God to help him and that's all the Williams family can do also! I believe one day all of our question's to why was it my child will be answered and peace will come to all that have suffered here on earth. Please say a little pray for Ethan too!

Little messages from above

I'm in total shock right now! I was reading an article out of the Middlesboro Daily News like I do everyday and at the bottom of the article was a section called related articles and my Dad's obituary was on there. It was so strange after 4 years this obituary pops up and it has never ever done that. That was the oddest thing that I believe has ever happen to me. Was it a sign from my dad or something??? I can't help but wonder!!! Thank You Daddy for my little message from above! I miss you too!
