Red Sox Boys

Cooper came over one day last week to see Stafford and they were both wearing the same shirt. Cooper is Stafford's big bud and he got him this shirt for Christmas, so it was funny to see them both wearing it on the same day.

No Joke!!

This is what one of our cows gave birth to today back home on our farm. If you can't tell, those are two legs coming out of the side of the calf. This is no joke either. Pretty cool though, huh!!

St. Patricks Day!!

(Knox,Cyler,Rigley,Reese, and Stafford)

How cute is this picture of all of the kids on our weekly Tuesday night dinner at the club? I stole this picture from Amber's blog. She was on top of things and brought her camera to catch the memory. Chris and Timmy were the only other ones able to get in the picture since they were dressed in green too. Everybody else were slackers.

Big Girl

I think she looks like such a big girl in this picture.


















Loving on his sister. She adores him.







Guess who is a full time walker now. She has been
playing around with this walking thing for over a month. I kept thinking she would every week, but finally she decided it was time. Stafford was 15 months when he started, but we thought it was because he was premature, but I guess I just have late walkers.

No more Passy!!

I am so proud of my little boy. We finally decided it was time to get rid of the passy for good. We had broken him to only taking it when he was in his bed for about 6 months now, but we knew it was time to do it. I think it was probably harder on me than it was on him. I felt like my little boy was growing up way to fast for me.
We did it on Saturday and had him write on an envelope and we told him we were sending it to the new babies that needed a passy. He put the passy in the envelope and sealed it and then we walked it out to the mailbox. I think we really lucked out because later that day we happened to be outside when the mailman delivered our mail and Stafford saw him. He looked at me and said "the mailman got my passy?", and I told him, "yes". The mailman waved at him and Stafford waved back at him.
So the first night he acted like he didn't want to go to bed because he wanted to avoid the whole bed routine. But all went well, he just continued to ask were the mailman was, never anything about his passy. Well its Monday now and we are still doing great. The passy is gone and I guess my little boy is growing up on me. But I have to say his blankie has become quite a buddy now since there is no passy. I love this boy!!

Where it all began...

Pics from Reese's Party

I know this is really late, but I wanted to be sure and add some pictures from Reese's birthday party. I had Chris Stinson take pictures at her 1st birthday party like I did for Stafford's. There were so many to pick from and so many cute ones, so here are just a few. 1st birthdays are always so much fun, especially when the birthday girl/boy tears into their cake. So far both of ours have. I think they must have their mommys sweet tooth.
