ISR and a all Boy Party!!

Let me start by apologizing for this blog post! I had all the pictures organized on this post and when I went to upload them... they are all out of order and some didnt even show up.. .I remembered why I hate blogging :( I tried to move them around and that didnt happen either. So, sorry in advance!

Anyways... Im so happy to say that we are finally finished with ISR!!! Our 4 week program turned in to 8 weeks due to some personal things with me and the flood! I will miss how exhausted this class made Grant and I will miss having something to do for 2 hours every morning but I wont miss the drive!!!!!!!! I am happy to say that Grant "graduated" and all last week he would ASK to get in the pool.. no screaming! YIPEE! He'd say "Ketty...... in.. ... pwease" (meaning I want to get in the pool with Kelly please!)!

On his last day he had to swim in a regular diaper and his clothes and it didnt phase him a bit! They do this to teach them that clothing is added weight if you were to fall in the pool!

An under water shot... he reminds me of the Nirvana baby! Hahaha

Everytime he would finish he would look over to see if his "crowd" was watching him! He would smile really big and either splash us or say "Job.... Good". He hasnt figured out that its "Good Job"... not Job Good! Whatever!

Floating without assistance!

One day after swim Little Tol came over and spent the night with us! Grant had an absolute BLAST but could hardly keep up with little Tol! (Let the unorganized pictures begin)

We started off by swimming, then we had bubbles, and icecream! My friend Mary Leigh dropped by with her son bates and she had him in the cutest little swimtrunks and sandals.. but of course none of the pictures I uploaded of him came out :( Except one and it doesnt show his sweet face. Sorry Bates.. I'll send these pics to your Mama!

More pics out of order... The Gpa's came to watch him swim!

A sucker for a job well done!

Oh yah.. back to bubbles and underwear!

Or underwear on the head! You should've heard Tol giggling!

Bates hung in there like a Champ.. you should've seen him climbing in and out of this pool!

I thought the boys were so cute in their PJ'S watching "The Fox and the Hound" and reading books!!! We had a great time! Yaters... you get to come next.. then Aunt Kelly and Tol.. I have news for you.... Grant is coming to you next! Hahha

This is random but I thought these were cute! Grant LOVES drinking out of a cup. I've been trying to be very patient with him and just let him do it. Here he is drinking milk out of my cup!

Such a good job!

If he spills it, he tells me! He says "Mama.... .Sib it.... Help" I love this boy!!!!!

Round 2 of Mother's Day

Mother's Day weekend was super busy! We started off by going to church where Charlie Daniels played.. that was awesome!!!!! After lunch and Grant's nap we made a surprise visit to Lebanon to see DeeDee and Papa!
Grant was in a WONDERFUL mood and was ultra loving... made the day even more special!

All they boys played great together.... once we looked over and Grant and Yates had taken off down the hill, so we sent Uncle Tol and little Tol to round em' up!

Here are the boys playing a round of Ladder Ball!

The next few pictures are so sweet to me! We showed the boys how to play "Ring-a-round-the rosies" and they laughed SO HARD! I LOVE these pictures!!!!

Woops.. one got out of order! Sorry!

..... and we all fall down!

... Yates was doing his own thing!!!!!!! Hahahah

After dinner all the boys enjoyed an icecream cone... maybe Yates enjoyed it too much.. look in his hair! Cracks me up!

Little Tol is definately "The Leader of the Pack".... he's so good to Yaters and to Grant! Thanks Tol for being such a good boy!

Mothers Day Part 1!!!

I had the BEST Mothers Day ever!!!!!! My sweet husband made it so special, not just because he got me an incredible gift but because he's so thoughtful! Let me just say "He went to Jared"!

On Saturday, before going to our Mothers Day gathering, I was getting ready and I saw my sweet baby rounding the corner with a box in his hand!!! He sd "Mama ... Pretty" and gave me the box along with a hug! I opened it and found this!This is one of those Pandora braclets and its by far the most precious thing I own (next to my wedding rings of course!). Franklin was so thoughtful when picking this out for me! In the center is a G (for Grant), and on each side are his two favorite animals (a chicken and a pig), and a pink flower on each side of the animals! Grant talks about chickens, pigs, and the color pink all the time so this braclet has everything on it that reminds me of my sweet baby! Thank you Franklin for being so thoughtful!!!!!!!!!!! I will always love this!

Aunt Marcia hosted Mothers day at her house this year, and it was a wonderful party! Little Tol and Grant were so excited to see each other and get to play all day together!

Three Generations!!!!!!!!

Tol and Kelly brought the boys 4wheeler over and it was a huge hit! I managed to get my bare foot run over by it, that was awesome! Tol gave all the boys a ride on it! I love this picture, look at Grant with his arm around Tol's neck.. so sweet (although I think Tol told Granny that Grant was accidently pinching him because he was holidng on tight!)!!!

Of Coure.. Kelly got to ride it too! hahahah

These two crack me up! They love each other but MAN do they fight! They are only 7 months apart and they like the same things and have trouble sharing!

I had to post at least two pictures of them sharing because its super rare! They are usually fussing over EVERYTHING!

Grant LOVES drinking out of cups and I busted him with my drink! Glad it was just lemonade! By the look on his face, I think it was a little sour!

Here is sweet Wesley! Like all boys, he loved playing in his Gpa's truck!

My cousin Adam and his sweet girlfriend Moo!

Aunt Marcia and her sweet Wesley!

We had a fantastic day at Aunt Marcia's and loved celebrating with my Mom and my Granny! Without them this family wouldnt be here!!!!!!!! Thank you both for being so wonderful and supportive! I love you! And to my Mother in Law, Rocky, and Grandma Madewell, we missed seeing you and a Happy Mother's Day to you! We love yall too!
