Brock's First Day of Kindergarten...

(you can't see it, but in the right pic, Brock is mumbling under his breath, "Mom...please stop")

First Days

It wasn't long ago, you gave us quite a scare

you came as an early baby, was almost more than I could bear,

But now I know you came just right when we needed you,

not long after, you turned one, then the terrible 2's!

Your first day of preschool, you gave us a grin,

No crying or fussing when we walked you in,

And you would tell me you loved me this much,

arms stretched out wide, no scowls at my touch,

Then came the day I had to let you be,

excitement, fear, and anxiety,

It was the first day of Kindergarten,

I wanted to hold your hand,

But you were determined to be a little man,

"Just go, Mom. I'm fine. Don't cry, ok?"

So I held back the tears and watched you walk away,

Brock, you're my baby and always will be,

so when you come home each day to me,

I'll secretly hold you, no one will know, you

just give me that moment of time with Mommy.

I love you Beamer!!!

-Mommy

11 months...already!

Can't believe he will be 11 months old in a few days...that much closer to ONE!

Love you baby doll!

Lil' Trips

This summer has been filled with small trips to various places...
A couple weekends ago we made our way to Atlanta and saw a Braves game. The boys had the a great time! On our way back to Prattville, we stopped by Callaway Gardens, a beautiful place in the mountains (for Georgia, they are mountains:) with recreational activities, a circus, lakes, paddle boats, slides, biking trails, flower gardens, and a butterfly house. We hope to be able to spend more time there the next time we go, since there is so much to do.

Happy Birthday Trey Braden!

Our little man is turning 3 in the morning. I am up tonight thinking about how blessed I am to have him in our family. There is something so special about Trey. Since before he was born, he was independent and had his own way of doing things. He wanted to come when I was only 32 weeks along...bed rest for 5 weeks fixed that:) When he arrived, his big brother was the happiest little guy I had ever seen! They have been best friends ever since. He is the best big and little brother you could ask for. Anyone who knows Trey describes him as "sweet". A good friend of mine described him to me the other day as "content". Everyday I say, "Trey, guess what I need?!" He then jumps into my arms and gives me the biggest hug. Trey is most likely going to be the smallest of his brothers :) but he is gonna be quick and his heart will always be big!

We are so blessed as a family to have his spirit in our home and I have no doubt he will continue to grow and be someone very special! Happy Birthday Trey Bray! I LOVE YOU funny kid!
