so not meant to be a mother of boys...

really? Boys? Stinky, sweaty, bugs, snakes, and FROGS. Well, a frog- GROSS! Seriously, I really don't think I was meant to have all boys- I can't tell you how bad I HATE everything I just listed above- but a few weeks ago my sister (who is a mother of four boys) brought Austin home from playing and in his hand was a slimy frog! I did not want that thing anywhere near me- they are disgusting! Even the joy that gross thing brought to my boys was not worth how yucky it was! So they made him a home in a bucket in our back yard and finally it was time to take him to the stream and let him go. I couldn't even hold the plastic thing it was in- Boy was I glad to see him go!

On the Austin Update- he has gotten to be the VIP in school this week. Not sure exactly what it means other than that he gets to hold the door open for all the kids on their way to recess, and that he gets to be the special helper for the teacher- but man has he loved it! He is really liking kindergarten and I am learning that homework is not going to be so fun!

I know that my last post was all about the crazy wrestling matches that go on at our house constantly, but I can't resist a moment like this...I had just gotten the boys out of the bath, I got Dax dressed, and left him in his room....when I came back to get him this is what I saw. (don't mind cade in the nude- he is my "free spirit")- All three of them were playing so quietly!! This sight was SO CUTE! They were showing dax different toys and cade was "reading" him this book...Just goes to show that yes, we do have some peaceful, happy moments in our life too! Daxton is growing like crazy! He is so much fun and I just can't ever get enough of him!! Right now he is loving popcorn. Not sure he should really have it- but he LOVES IT! He gets so excited and it's so cute to watch him chomp it with his chubby cheeks and his lips go in this straight line across his face- like a bitter beer face/old grandpa face...too cute for words...

He is almost crawling which I am so sad about! He gets up on all fours and then he leans forward and drops right on his belly- he's got the backwards movement down pat, and he call roll anywhere he wants to go- any day he'll be on the move, then I'm really in trouble!! And watch out Cade- I think Dax has attitude!

And on the Cade update...He always has some kind of battle wound and the newest is across his face- he ran full speed into a dresser. It was pretty sad, but he's got a cool scrape to show for it. But the best part of this whole incident is...the day after he scraped his face he was over at Celesta's and she found him and Kambree painting their faces- well, his scratch was still open so the paint got in the scratch and stained it purple. So yes, he went to school with that paint all over his face. (I joke that he is my homeless child- because pretty much he wears whatever he wants, he won't let me do his hair (and he's in desperate need of a haircut), and he doesn't wear shoes or underwear- ever! (like I said before, my "free spirit")

(the blue under his nose is not paint...just some Gatorade...) ha!
