2011-12-20T17:00:00.002-06:00

This is Shelly's oldest son Jack. It has definitely been a long time since my mom has posted something, so I'm going to. Playing sports is probably my favorite hobby, so I'm going to talk about it. VERY disappointed about the Rangers losing the world series TWO YEARS IN A ROW, but I'm glad that the mavs are starting up again! Hope they can repeat what they did last year!!!

mc got some new skates cause his brothers had some and he wanted to skate too! he is taking a pic with his new camera here...

this past fri at school was mo's end of the year party. the little girl in the pic is mo's best friend's little sister. she is 4 and mc (2) is the same size and wears bigger shoes!

we had lunch with ms fri too!

fri was also ms's young author's day at school. he wrote his own book about turtles and read it to us.

his eyes look so green here to me! him and mo have their daddy's eyes (hazel). i sure hope mc's eyes stay blue!

mc is officially on summer break! the older two have 2 1/2 days this week and then they are! mo has another month of regular season baseball and then he will play summer baseball and summer basketball. ms has his last baseball game this coming fri and then he will play summer indoor soccer. daddy has his wisdom teeth taken out this fri! pray all goes well!! the boys are spending the night with my sister thursday night which they are excited about. i have to take him to dentist and stay, which should take about an hour and then i will get him home and comfy and then will go get the boys. daddy will be of no help fri with baseball games so my mom will do it! ms has a game and mo has a double header and then a tournament that starts saturday morning. I LOVE WATCHING MY BOYS PLAY SPORTS! it takes up alot of time but its worth it!

hopefully i will be back on here before a month passes!

BUSY...BUSY...BUSY...

2011-05-09T00:21:00.000-05:00

it has been one busy weekend (that started on thursday). being busy is nothing new, this was just a different kind of busy. i had a blast but missed my boys!

thursday night our womens church conference at church began that my mom, sister and i attened. daddy had the boys. got home late and then had to get up early the next morning for the 2nd day of the conference. the two big boys were in school and mc was in daycare at church. daddy grabbed the two big boys from school and then they both had baseball. after the conference friday night my mom took mc home with her and my sister and i went out to watch the mav game. we had fun but got home late and everyone was asleep. got up too early again on saturday for the 3rd and final day of the conference. daddy and the big boys had baseball again and mc was in church daycare again. when the conference was over mc went home with my sister. poor baby, he was pretty much away from us all weekend, i missed him, ms and mo!!

the womens church conference was really good! it was good hearing such great speakers but what was even better was having my mom and sister there with me! it was soooo good that we are already registered for next year!

saturday night daddy, the big boys and i went to the rangers vs yankee game (which is why mc was with my sister). we had fun at the game and the rangers won!

sunday daddy & i went to the maverick game. my mom AGAIN had the boys. we had soooo much fun!!

after the game we came home, I WAS READY TO SEE MY BOYS! daddy mowed, the boys played and i sat on the swing on the patio and watched tv and read a magazine. IT WAS A REALLY GREAT END TO A GREAT MOTHER'S DAY thanks to MY MOM for the keeping the boys.

i had a really great weekend but ready to get back to my "normal".

I LOVE YOU MOM AND THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO TO HELP US WITH THE BOYS!

LOVE LOVE LOVE my husband and boys!

oh yeah...and a pic of mr. hollywood!

2011-04-27T23:37:00.002-05:00

MC's new fave things...mocha fraps from starbucks (decaf of course, HE NEEDS NO MORE ENERGY!) and listening to music on mommy's ipod (these are the only headphones i can get to stay on or in his ears!).

It was race weekend in Ft. Worth and everywhere you went you could tell it...

he wanted to get inside the car but it wasnt allowed!

MO had the opportunity to go to The Ballpark in Arlington this weekend (not to see the Rangers) and thought the place was amazing!

they were there watching highschool baseball, these were their seats...

they also got to go on the field...

we will be going soon to watch the Rangers...cant wait!

my mom had my youngest two all weekend and because MO was busy with baseball and friends all weekend he got dad & mom all to himself when he was home (which wasnt much).

dad and I went to church saturday night and then picked MO up from his friends and went to dinner...

HOPE EVERYONE HAD A GREAT WEEKEND!

our weekend...

2010-10-04T00:21:00.000-05:00

GAMES (as usual), MO spent the day with a friend, MORE GAMES (as usual) & then CHURCH on Sunday!

we had to go our seperate ways saturday as far as the games went. daddy and mo had to go to his baseball game while me, ms & mc went to ms's football game where daddy met us just a little late. after mo's baseball game daddy dropped him off at a friends house to spend the day. his friend's little sister had a bday party so mo was invited to keep his friend company. there was a face painter at the party...

yeah, mo has lost his mind! he is a UT fan now and his daddy is not happy about it! for christmas mo says he wants a room makeover and he wants it to be UT! i asked him if a pillow would do, he said NO! daddy said NO WAY!

SUNDAY we went to church and then had lunch with daddy's family, didnt get home until 4, the day was gone! i got in my miles while daddy and the boys played and then we took the boys to the park and then played some more...

...your 10 yrs old, then 20, then before you know it your 50! lets face it, the older you get the faster time flies! then your 70 and then BOOM, YOUR DEAD! and the only thing that lasts after death is your relationship with JESUS! if you dont have a relationship with Jesus then you should be scared to die! the way you look, the clothes you wear, your car, your house, your fave sports team...NONE of this will matter once your dead!

LUNCH DATE

FIRST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN (MS) & 2ND GRADE (MO)

2010-08-23T14:29:00.001-05:00

OH how DIFFERENT my boys are!!

MS was so excited to be starting Kindergarten and has been for a while now.

On MO's first day of K, 1st & 2nd he pretty much reacted the same way, he was ready to go but nervous and on the verge of tears.

MS could not have been more opposite!

There were a ton of cars and no place to park, MS told us we could just drop him off at the front and MO could walk him to his room. MO quickly stated otherwise! He wanted us to park, get out and walk him to his room (which we were doing anyway).

We walked MS to his room first...he never looked back!

Then we walked MO to his room...HE LOOKED BACK!

Oh, and in the pics you will see how MC has to do EVERYTHING his brothers do!

ABOUT TO GO PICK THEM UP!

WATERPARK FUN...for the last time this summer!

i asked daddy to try and get a descent pic of me and the boys...NEVER EASY!

i told the big boys not to do anything dumb and to just look at the camera and smile the whole time till we told them to stop so all i would have to worry about was MC doing right!

the pics below are in order of how they were taken

MO listens well doesnt he??

after telling MO AGAIN to not do anything dumb and to just look at the camera and smile till we told him to stop daddy attempts another pic...while he has the button held down, flash about to flash and pic about to be taken MC makes a dash for his drink...he is no where to be found in the next pic!

MC made it back for the next pic but you can CLEARLY see the problem...

so after FOUR pics below is the final and best shot we got...even tho MS's eyes are squinted and you cant see his eyeballs!

J C M (the 3rd...well really more than that but he is MY 3rd)

i need to do some catching up in MC's baby book!

but i will update MC here for now (and as a reminder for me as to what needs to be put in his book)

MC is almost TWO (sept 29th)

he weighs 35 lbs.

he wants to eat and drink all by himself all the time

there are two things MC loves to do more than anything else...

he loves to wear shoes, NOT HIS, but anybody else's shoes that are too big on him. he clogs around in shoes that are huge on his feet most of the day. he falls just about every other step but he just gets up as if the big things on his feet weren't the cause of his fall. if we are missing shoes we always know why and who!

MC also loves to clean as much as he loves wearing other people's shoes. give him a spray bottle and a rag and he will go to town, on pretty much everything! he will scrub the bathroom floor, the shower, the bathtub, the cabinets, the doors, the carpet, the windows, the tables, the chairs, your legs or arms. too bad he likes to spray his spray bottle more than he likes to scrub or clean up with his rag! when i slip on a water puddle on the floor due to his "cleaning" its time for the "cleaning" to be done with for the day! funny how HIS cleaning can make my house that much more dirty or not put together.

when he can get his hands on the vacuum cleaner or the broom, there really goes my house! he will move everything to "vacuum" or "sweep" behind it and under it. he just isn't as good at putting all the stuff back in their places when he is done!

(in the pic above the shoes he has on are not his!)

MC can talk pretty good. you can tell what he is saying on most of the words that come from his mouth. there are a couple of words that he says that nobody other than his family would know what he is saying. when MC sees a car or truck (or anything that has wheels) instead of saying CAR he rolls his r and that sound is what he calls anything that has wheels. when we are getting ready to leave the house and get in the car MC will say go rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (car) or when nannan leaves the house he always wants to go to nannans rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (car). it is SOOOO funny!! he also has a word he says for his drink that sounds nothing like DRINK and i have no idea why he says it. when he wants his drink he will say GINO (geeeee no). we all now know it is his drink. we tell him it is DRINK not geeee no but he still says it. he says kawlea (karlea) and this actually means karlea or karson. he says jaca (jacob), he says it like jacob but with no b and the o is pronounced as an a. he says jack but not as much as he says jaca. i think he says keddy (kelly), i mean i think he means kelly when he says keddy. he says nannan, mommy, daddy, NO (of course)! when he sees a dog (or cat or any animal) he says pu ee (puppy). he says baby. like i said, he pretty much can say anything like it is suppose to be said except for car and drink. i think he could say car and drink he just has his own words for them.

when he is mad he will hit anything or anybody close to him and if he has anything in his hands at the time he will throw it. he loves when daddy gets home from work and hates when daddy goes to bed (we usually are still up and downstairs when daddy goes upstairs). this is one of those times that he throws his paci (even tho he wants it) just because he is mad then cries cause he wants his paci but i wont give it back to him because he threw it! most of the time we really do lose it when he throws it like this, it makes me soooo mad! MC LOVES HIS PACI! he pretty much has it all the time when we are at home. when we go out we always leave it in the car unless we know he will be getting sleepy or we are going somewhere that might test his being good like a restaurant. speaking of paci...we cut the tip off the paci of my older two boys when they turned two and instantly they were done! i know MC wont be that easy. MC has found cut pacis and them being cut does NOT bother him, he will still put it in his mouth! MC will be two in a month and a half!

did i mention that MC's most fave thing is HIS MOMMY!

then closely to follow is daddy, brothers, nannan, food...

as close to a girl as we are going to get...
