Baseball player on aisle 5

Harrison wanted to go to Target and Sams with his mommy and daddy since he was away a couple days. As soon as we walked into the doors at Target, he decided to start wining. Travis took him to the toys...

Harrison's first Baseball game

Nini and Pop Pop gave me a break from two children last weekend so I could clean house! They decided to take him to see the Diamond Jaxx.
He was getting ready and turning his hat around.


At 11PM I got a text message they were still there and the fireworks were fixing to start. I hope they didn't stay that late just for the fireworks b/c Harrison covered his ears and they hid in the bathroom. He did learn a lot about baseball that night. He is now saying,'I saw baseball last night. the batter hit way up high. Catcher caught ball. and Fireworks big and loud. Had to cover my ears!

What happened to my snack? The 5 phases of loss!

SHOCK
<
DENIAL GUILT
ANGER SADNESS
I finally removed it from her head and let her eat it! She should be an actress!

Playgroup Pool Party!

Playgroup was at Caroline's house this week!
I should have put the sunscreen and swim diaper on before we left the house! We will be in the water soon...
Harrison has decided that he can swim 'by myself' (as long as he has floaties)
Alexis was very tired, but having lots of fun!
All the girls were in the pool, except for Katie taking pictures!
A family photo!
Thanks Caroline! We had a blast!

Shopping trip in Nashville

Alexis was trying to get a nap anyway possible...
No time to pose... On to eat dinner!
I will have one of these, please! Harrison didn't ride much in the stroller, but he sure did have fun running into people (only the ones with us though)

Alexis' first tractor ride...

Even Alexis gets to ride on the tractor, but only for a second. That is a big brother priviledge.

I've been tagged,,,

Melody has tagged me with these questions... So, if you would rather read about the kids.. continue to scroll!
1.. WHAT DID YOU DO 10 YEARS AGO? I was finishing my freshman year at Mississippi State. Nothing too exciting!
2.FIVE ITEMS ON YOUR TO-DO LIST TODAY: Swim with playgroup (check), UPS (check), Robbins Nest (check), Kids take naps (still trying), clean house (continuous), wash clothes (continuous)
3.SNACKS I ENJOY: anything chocolate, or just anything....
4.WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE A BILLIONAIRE? I would have to put tithe in here first, because I would do it and also b/c most my friends that read my blog are pastor's wives!!! Hire a maid and chef! Then pay off house and cars, save the rest for retirement and gas to travel.

Told you I didn't have anything to exciting to say!

I tag Amber!

PLAYTIME!

Harrison and Alexis play well together most of the time...

Harrison has discovered ring lollipops! So, he is not still using a pacifier!

Fishing...

Harrison and Nini love to fish. Harrison enjoys throwing the food, (maybe that is where he gets the idea to throw Oliver food.)He is laying each individual piece on the deck and throwing one at a time...

Red Nose Choo Choo...

This is the 'Red Nose Choo Choo'. If you ever talk to H about trains, he will probably tell you about the Red Nose Choo Choo. Every Sunday after church we go down by the railroad tracks so harrison can see the trains. We started this about a year ago and if he acts good and doesn't cry in Sunday School then we can go. It turned out that every Sunday we would go there. Some days we go by and the RN is in the house taking a 'nap' and others he could see it. We might be doing this when he graduates from High School, but I have even started to enjoy it b/c of his excitement. Poor Alexis, she will either have to like trains or find something else to visit.

Playgroup Surprise Shower for Subo!

Subo is having a baby girl! The girls at playgroup having been trying to get something together for months. Congratulations Subo!
This is a picture of the 3 girls on their best behavior...
And then the boys...
Of course Harrison's room was a wreck, all the girls were in the den! Thanks to Katie for the pictures! Subo is in the center with the white shirt (She has 5 weeks left!)

A Day Like No Other... and I wouldn't want to do it again!

WARNING... THIS IS VERY DESCRIPTIVE!!! NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART OR THOSE WITH A WEAK STOMACH!!!

Our day started like many others... We were up a little later and running late for school. I took H in and told his teacher just like I had done many times, to let me know if he has a bowel movement (to be politically correct). She asked me if I had taken him to the doctor and of course since I have taken him so many times this year... my reply was 'Not for this.' She got me wondering... 'should he go?' I called doctor and the nurse returned my call and said to bring him in today! 3 hours later... we are at the house hoping he would take a nap and.... No nap! He was playing with his tractor and fell... blood was pouring out of his mouth! That quickly stopped and hasn't bothered him since. I couldn't tell you how many times between school and time to leave for the doctor he gained another boo boo for his bragging rights!
When it was time to leave for the dr, I thought it would be great to leave Alexis with a sitter so I it would easier... but everyone is busy! I thought the dr would just give him a suppository and off we go.... OH, HOW WRONG I WAS!!!!
The kids dr is off on Wednesday, of course that happens to be the day we always need to go. One hour wait in the 'waiting room'... It just dawned on me that name did come from somewhere!!! Got to rewind for a second, as we drive in the parking lot... Harrison is screaming to go home. I trick him to the door and we are walking in he is screaming with everyone watching. I then tricked him again to say Alexis and I are going and he can stay there; he followed. Even when the nurse called us back, she had to say my name so he wouldn't catch on.
The doctor comes in the room, lays him on the table, gloves on, poop out... more poop out and even more. I really thought doctors had it easy, but I would say getting poop out of someone's behind... not too fun! I really felt horrible for him, but the gross part then and comical part now... I had Alexis on my left arm and holding Harrison's hands on my right. I don't much about the protocol for sanitation and germs... I bet this wouldn't fit the standards! It does get a lot worse when the nurse comes in with the enema... I won't go into that, but Harrison was in the best mood when we left the office. Even though he didn't have any clean clothes.. he had some 'Thomas' stickers....
The rest of the evening included him playing in the yard with Travis and falling asleep on the lawnmower... then I had to give him a bath before bed!!! A cup of milk and a prayer... We will see a much happier little boy in the morning.
I know he will never remember this story, so I had to write about it to remind him to eat his fiber!!! What a good mother I am.... Love ya harrison!

Let's be friends...

The kids are working on sharing this activity box... Seems to be great right now, but 5 minutes later it was a different story!

Look what Harrison found...

Harrison has discover a water gun... Watch out because he has no mercy!!!

Boys...They can make a game of anything!

Harrison has found a new game... He throws Oliver a piece of food so he will eat. When Oliver leaves the room H will chase him until he comes back to play. When you see him looking at the camera, he is saying, 'that is funny!'.

Playgroup at the park!

It was a hot morning, but we got in some playtime at the park for a little bit.

Stacy is keeping a little boy and girl some days during the summer. Harrison has found him a friend... Every few minutes, 'Alex come push me, Alex help me up, Alex get me down... Alex. Alex. Alex!!!!

How Sweet. This was after VBS Day 5!

I WANT MY COOKIE!!!

Harrison wanted a cookie instead of dinner.
So, 15 minutes later... he still wanted a cookie!
I WON! 20 minutes later, after he had two bowls of cereal... he had his cookie. Then we went out to play ball.
He was running so hard that he had lots of water too!

First time at the pool all summer!

Harrison has his sunscreen on ready to go swim in style!Alexis is ready too!
She isn't scared of the water... she even got to take a second and wave at the camera!
Harrison was so excited. At first he was splashing with his hands until he learned that he can splash with his feet. He was so proud that he is a big boy and could swim... At least with his floaters on!

Harrison's First Family Drawing

Okay...Most of you are wondering what in the world this could be. Well, I was just impressed that Harrison was drawing lines not scribbles and then he told me what it was!
In case you can't tell:
The first tall green line is Daddy
The next, even though it is wider than daddy, it is mommy
The third, Harrison, and the little one is Alexis.
Now, for the other scribbles... Nini and Pop Pop are the floating line on the end and Tiffy and Uncle Jay are the big scribble in the top right corner.
Wow... just be amazed that this is his first picture with meaning!
