Park Days


I have THE BEST sister in the whole wide world. Caring, thoughtful, giving, honest, I could go on and on. So, you can imagine how sad I am that we don't get to spend as much time together as we'd like. In lieu of that, my sister and her kiddos came out last week to stay with us over Spring Break. We had so much fun and it was great to spend so much time with them. Of course we had to make a park visit while they were here...the boys had so much fun! So did FeFe. You just wait and see.

Highlights of my day

  • Waking up feeling somewhat rested (even though I didn't get any more sleep than usual, I just found a way to get a leeeetle more sleep, hehe)
  • 2 travel mugs of yummy delicious coffee
  • A quiet visit to the library, alone
  • Staring into my little one's eyes, as he stared right back into mine
  • Engaging in a little tickle/wrestling match with my 2 older boys
  • Researching the Memphis Roller Derby league online and planning to be at the next bout in April
  • Thinking about ways to be creative in my photography
  • Listening to my boys play on the drums
  • Just now realizing that even though we lose an hour of sleep tonight (BOO), the days will be longer, and that makes me happy
Ahh, life is good!

Jude-isms

With a talking toddler in the house, we really have to watch what we say. He is repeating EVERYTHING, including the exclamations of GOSH and GOH!, oh man!, crap! and everything else. While it is somewhat frustrating, it is kind of fun, too. To see Jude learning what things are, using the actual words and communicating with us, I love it. I love watching him grow into this little person. Even though he is a great talker and communicator, he's still a new talker, so not everything he says is exactly right. And boy, it is darn cute. Here are a few of what I like to call Jude-isms.

Fingers are mingers. (I think this one is my favorite)
Milk is guh-guh-guh.
Mouth is mouse.
Spiderman is ah-man.
Blanket is beekle.
Tree is tuh-reeeee.
Booty is boot-ay. (ok, I taught him that one)
Juice is boose.
Phone is na. -have no idea where this came from
Truck and sock are u-kuck or o-kuck.
Pray is puh-rayyyy.
Volleyball is balleyball.

These are just the ones I can think of. Having a toddler is so fun. Everyday is full of something new, super fun, and/or challenging. I surely love being this boy's mama! And I definitely look forward to watching Ezra grow into his own little person too. What a blessing these boys are!
