Tidbits Tuesday

This is a new post I hope to do once a week. There are always little things that Jayce and Lakyn either say or do that I don't want to forget. So, I'm going to try to record the little things (tidbits).

Jayce: Moma, I want you to sleep with me.
Me: My big belly won't fit in the bed with you.
Jayce: That's ok, you can sleep on the floor.


Me: Jayce did you have a good day at school?
Jayce: It is a surprise, so close your eyes.
Me: Close my eyes, but hear Jayce in the corner erasing something.
Jayce: Erasing what the teacher wrote on his behavior chart.
Me: Jayce, what are you doing?
Jayce: Just looks at me with pencil in hand.

Jayce still plays football every chance he gets. He plays around the house, out in the yard, with the neighbor kids, in his room, with his daddy, writes about it, and the list goes on. Brad says he is "ate" up with football. He wakes up in the morning telling us which team he wants to play for. Sometimes he is the player, and other times he is the coach. The boy LOVES football. Of course, if he isn't playing football, he would rather be fishing. When it comes to fishing, he is very patient. As for school, he is doing well. He is really a good little reader. The boy could eat rice and gravy at every meal. Matter of fact, he gets upset if I don't serve gravy.


Lakyn: Her new thing is "I help it!" She wants to help with everything from laundry to putting out the trash. She now says, "Wuf you!" which is "I love you!" She runs everywhere she goes, and usually in her "fee fops" which are her flip flops. Attacks Jayce any chance she gets because she thinks she is 5. Seriously, when you ask her age, she says, "I'm 5!" The girl has an appetite, so she will be our one to watch. She ate a whole corn dog at the festival. You know the kind that are like a foot long! All animals "bite." She loves for Jayce to tote her around. She is a happy little girl that bounces off the walls.

Stay tuned for more tidbits.....

I'm now 18 weeks along. I went to the doctor today for just the routine visit. So far, everything looks good. Yes, I probably know your next question....Do you know the sex? No, not yet. We will probably have an opportunity to find out in a couple of weeks. The big sonogram is coming up where the doctor will look at all the organs, overall development and all that good stuff. In the meantime, be praying for the baby and for a good report at the next doctor visit. I'm now entering that phase of the pregnancy where I'm feeling pretty good.

Birthday Weekend!

My birthday started off with these 2 things......





Actually, my birthday weekend really started off yesterday with a little time to myself while Brad took the kids shopping. After a nap, we headed out to the next town which is about an hour away. We ate at Taco Bell. I bet some of you are thinking...."so what?" Well, we don't have a Taco Bell in this town!! We went to Wal-Mart to get Reba Season 5. Brad and I have watched all the other seasons and have been waiting forever for this one to come out. If you know me at all, you will know I love Reba! I love her singing (even though I'm not a huge country fan) and her show! So, my weekend started out with these two things...I'm a simple girl!

This morning, I woke up to smiling faces from my kids and hubby. We plan to do a little fish fry and bake a cake. Just a lazy day at home hanging out. I wouldn't want to do anything else or be anywhere else than right here at home with my family.

Lil Potato

Baby Crayne is about the size of a potato this week at 17 weeks. I'm feeling pretty good. My energy level is up a little. I'm starting to get indigestion at night which is no fun, but nothing a few Tums can't handle. I'm feeling the baby move around more and more which is just the neatest feeling. I'm huge!!! I barely had a pooch this time with Jayce and just had a little pooch with Lakyn. Even though I weigh the same as I did in my other 2 pregnancies, my tummy is way bigger!

Fishing Trip

Brad and I took the kids on a fishing trip yesterday. It was one of the cooler mornings we've had in quite awhile. We decided to bundle up and go anyway. The kids were so excited about going fishing. Lakyn had her Barbie fishing pole ready to go!! I helped her cast it out about three times before she decided she would rather mess with all the gadgets in the boat. Jayce fished for quite awhile but not without almost hooking me about three times. Jayce and Lakyn were really more excited about the snacks I brought along than the fishing. They sat in the boat and munched while Brad and I fished.

After we were out fishing for about an hour, the wind picked up like it is known to do here from time to time. Luckily, we weren't far from shore! The wind was whipping so much that water was splashing into the boat as we were on our way back to the dock. Lakyn kept saying "HOME!" over and over while Jayce just complained of getting wet. After we put the boat back in storage, we headed to a little joint there by the lake hoping for some good old fashioned fried catfish. Oh, the food just wasn't that good. Sorry, but the food here just isn't good period. Anyway, we still had a nice time getting out. After all, we did make memories!

Update

Lakyn went to her checkup yesterday for her leg. I'm sure everyone remembers she fractured her right tibia bone in the growth plate back in October. The doctor was pleased with the xray. She doesn't have to return for another xray for 8 months! Praise God!
