Happy Birthday Mom!

Tomorrow is my beautiful mother's birthday and I just wanted to let her know how much I love her. You are truly amazing, and the strongest person I know. I hope you have a fabulous birthday, and I wish we could all be there to celebrate with you. Just know that we are thinking about you and that we all love you... HAPPY BIRTHDAY :)

Alright I had to post about this... It's pretty funny cuz Cayla and I were just talking about this last night and then it happened again to me today... I am sure I am not the only one this happens to.

It seems like EVERYWHERE I go when I have the boys with me people are constantly staring, and every once in awhile I get a comment... like this... "Oh there is no way these are your boys, you are way too young to have two babies." And I always smile back and say, "Well they are mine and I am probably not as young as you think." That sounds kinda harsh, it doesn't come out that way though, I am never rude about it... And we sit there in the aisle of the store discussing my age and how young I look... and then there are days like today when someone says this... "Oh what a good big sister you are, pushing the cart for your mom" Haha, I don't even know what to say to that one. I have never heard that before...

And I will never forget when Devin I first moved here, the mailman brought our mail to the door since we didn't have our mailbox put in yet and I answered the door... and he asks me if I could get my mom or dad. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! I just laughed, I think he was a little embarrassed... it was pretty funny.

Ok so maybe I should be a little more understanding, I mean I am under five feet tall (barely!) and I do still look like I am in Jr. High. And someday I am sure I will appreciate their comments more than I do now... but until then, it just gets tiring hearing the same thing over and over EVERY time I go somewhere with them. I know no one is trying to bother me or be rude so I usually just laugh about it and keep on going with my business... but sometimes I feel like when people look at us I just wanna say "I KNOW I KNOW I look too young to be their mother, but I am. I am 21 years old, my oldest is 3 and my baby is 2 months..." Anyone else ever feel that way?

But who knows maybe they are just staring cuz my kids are so dang cute!

This was Treyden on Sunday, so handsome... Deagan looked rather handsome as well, but he wouldn't let me take a picture of him... Shocking.

These last two pictures were from yesterday... Deagan was in heaven... WATER, MUD, and his DUMP TRUCK. That's all he needs in life.

When Little Boys Don't Take Naps...

Today while I was feeding Treyden I noticed Deagan was being awfully quiet, which means one of two things... either he is doing something he shouldn't be or he is asleep. Sure enough I walk in and here he is...

sound asleep. In Treyden's swing of all places. That can't be comfortable... he is kinda big for that little swing... and what kind of position is that?! Oh my little Deagy, maybe next time you will listen to me when I tell you you need a nap...

What will he think of next...

So, today while I was making lunch this cute boy and I got into an argument about whether he could have a piece of candy or not... He was standing in the pantry with the jar ready for me to say yes... which I didn't, I told him after he ate some lunch... This was the reaction I got back..."I said goodnight!" and he slammed the door shut.


I couldn't help but laugh... it was pretty funny, especially since he opened the door real fast because it was dark. I asked him where he had come up with that... and then it hit me, SHREK! Princess Fiona yells it at Shrek and Donkey and then slams the door, just like Deagan did. That would be the second thing he has caught onto off that movie. The first being the wonderful phrase "stubborn jackass!" That one, not so funny.


Deagan is always making us laugh... he is always saying the funniest things, things I have never heard of. He has the sweetest little voice and cutest personality.

I never know what he is going to come up with next...

Monster Trucks!

Last night was the best night of Deagan's life. Dev got tickets to the Monster Truck show in Prescott. Ever since we told Deagan about it he has been asking us everyday if it was Saturday so he could see the monster trucks... finally yesterday we got to say yes. Dev said he slept the whole way to Prescott so he was ready to go when they got the show. They had good seats, nice and close but Dev said it was really loud... didn't bother Deagan any. I wish I could have seen the look on his face... This was it right before they left, he was a little excited...

They had fun and I am glad that they got to spend some time together, it is good for both of them. I know it meant a lot to Deagan and that he will always remember it. Treyden and I had fun too :) I think he is tired of the camera already... he is so cute though and Deagan is not into taking pictures anymore.

These were from this morning... the boys of the house dressed in their Sunday best. Handsome handsome handsome. Aren't I a lucky girl?! I get to see these three everyday.

The lighting on this one wasn't very good but I thought it was adorable... gosh we have cute kids :)

Just A Little Update...

We haven't been up to much, just doing our normal everyday thing. We did go to the valley last weekend though. We went down to see Alvin and Jessica's sweet baby boy Lewis at the hospital. He had to have heart surgery shortly after he was born. He did awesome though and is home already. He is adorable, and such a strong little guy. Dev's parents were down there also and we all stayed in Riley's one bedroom apartment. It was a little crowded but we had fun and it was good to see everyone.

The weather has been fabulous here in Camp Verde so we have been spending a lot of time outside. It will be too hot here before we know it so we are taking advantage of it while we can! Deagan spends his afternoons on his four-wheeler or ridin' his bike. We have also been going to the park with the Fish boys once a week, but I am thinking we should try for atleast one more day... Deagan loves it and takes such good naps after playing so hard : )

Devin got him and Deagan tickets to the Monster Truck show in Prescott this Saturday. Deagan is so excited, he has been talkin about it non-stop. Hopefully Dev will remember to take some pics so I can post about it. Treyden and I will be spending the evening at home by ourselves, I am not brave enough to take him. It will be nice for Devin and Deagan to have some time by themselves, Deagan loves spending time with his daddy. So, anyway that is pretty much all we have going on, here a few pics of our cute boys.

Our sweet Treyden... he is getting so big... isn't he adorable?!

Our big boy Deagan, stopping for a rare camera shot. Haha, he has much better things to do these days. What a stud.

This is my favorite outfit of his, he is already about to outgrow it though so I had to take some pics of him in it...

This is how they spend every morning. Laying in our bed together. Treyden is fine and content when he knows Deagan is right there. He usually just lays there staring at him... I love these boys.
