CHRISTMAS!!!

 This year Troye had to work Christmas eve and Christmas day but we made the best of it and had a fabulous Christmas!  We are truly blessed!  It was so fun to see the boys not just enjoy their gifts but actually want the gifts they bought to be opened first! And even though Mary didn't know what was going on, it was fun!

Christmas with Grandad and Ruth

Since Troye had to work on Christmas day, the kids and I went over to see Grandad and Ruth.  It was fun for all and we really enjoyed it. 

4 months old!

Marybeth is 4 months old!  She is such a doll!  She keeps us laughing and everyone that meets her loves her.  When I was in the hospital she had all of the nurses coming to see her!  And she was so good while we were there!  Of course the boys still love her!

Mommy's hospital stay

I woke up on December 4th with a sore knee.  By the next day it was super swollen and so sore I couldn't walk!  I went to the dr, who immediately sent me to an orthopedic dr.  Once there the ortho dr told me I was going to the hospital and possibly to surgery!!  I ended up staying in the hospital for 5 days with septic arthritis or reactive arthritis! It was a crazy experience!  Mary is nursing exclusively so she had to stay with me and we had to ensure that the medicines were not harmful for her.  Troye also stayed to help with Mary since I still couldn't walk!  The boys went to cousins and friends houses.  We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends! So many people helped out and did whatever they could to make things easier for us!  

First sick visit

Little Mary is sick!  She is stuffy and congested.  The dr thought it was best to treat her with breathing treatments.  She is amazing and just sits through them!!

Thanksgiving

Troye had to work and we were all sick so we stayed home most of the day.  We did go see Grandad and Ruth for a little bit.  It was a good and relaxing day.

3 months

Mary is now 3 months old!  She has rolled over several times, she smiles and laughs.  She loves her bath and her daddy!  He can get her to talk for long periods of time!  The boys love seeing her change.

Halloween!!

We wanted to do a family theme this year and include Mary.  It is not easy to agree though!  Colt came up with an idea and we all loved it!  We decided to be Rodeo clowns!  And Troye was a cowboy!  It was super fun!

2 months old

Where is the time going???  Marybeth is growing up way to fast!  She is doing great!  Nursing good, sleeping better, and starting to smile.  We all love her so much!

Playhouse memories!

My dad and papaw built me a playhouse way back in 1978!  It was moved in 1980 to the house where my parents currently live.   Well this week the house made another trip to our house!  The boys are so excited to have a playhouse and I know that one day Marybeth will love it too! I love looking out the window and seeing it!

Cam is SEVEN!!

Camaron turned seven this year!  He is such a funny boy who loves baseball!  We decided to take him to the Astros baseball game for his birthday.  He loved it!  It wasn't his first time to go but he couldn't remember going so it was all so new to him!  He bought some items with birthday money and even got to run the bases on the field!  He also wanted to ride in Grumpy's boat so a few days before his birthday Grumpy brought he boat down.  It was super fun despite the down pour while we were on the boat!  Overall he had a great birthday!

ONE month old!

Where does the time go?!?  Marybeth is one month old now.  She is doing good.  She has reflux that bothers her but she is so cute and sweet we don't mind.  The boys love her and smother her with kisses!
