Holiday Update....

Well Aunt BB and Uncle Clint are in town for two weeks. We did our "winter cleaning"  and got the house in shape for Thanksgiving.(took advantage of my sister who is pregnant and let her "nest" up my house! )  We had a house full of family and I enjoyed having everyone here so much. We have been cooking our turkey in a roaster for the last few years. Its so great a 20lb turkey is completely done in about 2.5 hours. That beats having it in your oven for 12 hours and taking up space all day. But every year brian still wants to get up and put it on at 7. So once again the turkey was done by 10 am. LOL.. This year I am leaving a note in the roaster to maybe stop the madness for next year. LOL. We had a house full of great food.
Uncle Steve and Aunt Alicia joined us for a few days. It was madness every night before bed. The boys would spend 20 mins jumping from the ottoman onto Steve or Alicia, run down the couch and jump back on the ottoman and start all over again. It was sooooo funny to watch. Jacob is enjoying Aunt BB putting lotion on him 2x a day (that kid LOVES Lotion) Needless to say the boys will be sad when the house is empty again in a week.

Nathan got his stitches taken out by me. The first two cost me 2 M&Ms and the last 5 cost me a cupcake. But we got them all out with out an incidence. He has quite a scar but we are putting mederma on it 3x a day and hoping it wont looks so bad in a few weeks.

We went out to eat tonight at pei wei (asian food). Uncle Clint was eating w/ chop sticks and Nathan decided to try to eat fried rice like Uncle Clint. I'll be damned if he didn't get a huge bite first try w/ chop sticks! It was so funny! That kid will eat anything.

Elf on a shelf is back in the house "watching" the boys. I love this time of year. We got the house decorated (tree and stuff up), but haven't gotten to the outside stuff yet because its freaking cold and we have 30 mile an hour winds over here. So we will get that done sometime this next week. Its nice to be getting into the Christmas spirit....... now what to do for Christmas card pictures??????????????????????

smarty pants reappears... again!

Nathan walked into the kitchen and I was making J breakfast. Nathan tells me " Mama I want some strawberry milk".. as he grabs a spatula off the counter. I was getting J situated and he repeats his request. Finally he comes up grabbes my hand.. says "Listen here.. I asked for straweberry milk, you listen to me and get in here right now" then lightly taps me on the butt with the spatula, AND GRINS.
He got the look from me.. but he got his milk. He is so his mamas boy!

ER and perrier

 We were shopping at Kroger getting our weekly groceries. We were almost done going to get our last things on isle 8. Nathan got out of the car cart and I was asking him to get in and set a good example, when suddenly a Perrier bottle fell off the self in between Nathan and I. It hit and was shaking to come to a hault when suddenly it EXPLODED. Seriously exploded. The neck hit me in the face and cut me.. and part hit Nathan right under his chin on his neck. Jacob was ok. I grabbed Nathan and some lady grabbed J and we ran to the car. I wrapped a diaper on N's face and we were in the ER within 3 mins of it all happening. Amy came up to help me w/ a fussy napless jacob tanner. Luckily  the ER gave them Popsicle and that kept us busy and not crying a while. Here we are waiting for stitches. We tried doing it w/o sedation but as it happens we ended up having to put him under to do it right. 

Bowling kept him from crying so he bowled on my phone

here is the cut...

here he is coming out of anesthesia

 So I promised him yogurt before he went under. The first word (other than dddddddaa... and mmmm) was yo-gret (as he says it). I asked him yesterday about going under.. he said "I got tired and went to bed, then daddy told me to wake up but I was sleeping."

poor guy!

seven stitches! in a backwards upside down seven!

Both Gigi's, dinner, and the airport

Last Friday me, Brian and the boys picked up Gigi B in Navasota and headed to Brenham to meet Gigi M.  We played at her house for a while and then we took them to go eat at the 50's diner at the airport. It was a great time.
The boys got to see airplanes land and take off, big jets, and I got to show them where their grandpa used to tie down his plane. I spent a lot of time when I was little at that airport with my dad. Brought back a lot of memories. It was neat to take my boys there.

Cowboys headed to take their gigi's out to dinner!

Nathan says "we have 2 gigi's"

Nathan

Today he was in such a good mood. He didn't even take a nap and NEVER grouched all day.
Here are today's shenanigans!

N: "mama come here

     mama come here

     mama come here

     mama come here

     mama come here

     mama come here"

ME: "what????????????????" as i walk into the kitchen.... 

N: "saw em off"

 Nathan dressed himself today... from the hat to the boots!

 Today he saw olives at walmart today and said "oh I LOVE those, I want them for dinner" I bought them and as he was eating fish sticks and kiwi I gave him a few olives. After about a min he said "mama I need a stick". I didnt understand and went about cooking. He came to the drawer in the kitchen holding the jar and said "i need this stick mama" so I opened the drawer gave him a "stick" aka toothpick. And he ate his olives as pictured. What a HAM!!!



So  lately I have been amazed at Nathan and what he remembers. He told us that a pyramid looks like a triangle.  I bought some lotion and he said "my gigi has this lotion.. but gigis is empty", then we were at walmart and the ride-on wart hog from the lion king was there as we were walking out and he said "hac-una-mat-tada".. he hasn't watched that show in forever.

I love to irritate him by singing a song and messing it up. Lately I sing "Jesus loves me this I know, for my "mommy" tells me so (instead of "bible" for those of you who havent heard it in a while) ... he laughs so hard and corrects me. He wont go to bed till I sing the whole song right. LOL.

Zoo
