1st Birthday Party

The 1st Birthday Party that Colton ever attended, he slept

through almost all of it.

Cayden loved every minute of it. He got to help Miss Emma Grace open

her presents & even play with almost all of them.

He had a blast!

Happy 1st Birthday Miss Emma Grace!!

Cards

These are the 2 Mothers Day cards & 1 thinking of you/get well card, for my uncle, that I made on NSD.
I used a card kit that came with my fabulous bag that came from QVC.

Twins

NOW-2009

Larry & Harry Tuten

THEN-1947

Harry & Larry Tuten

This is my daddy, Harry, and his twin brother Larry. They are STILL sooo much

a like. They talk alike, both have glasses, have the same gestures.

I remember last year when we visited, Cayden was barely 1, and when Larry

walked in the door, Cayden was SOOO confused; you could see it on

his face. It was the funniest thing.

He still gave him a funny look this time but got over it quickly.

It is nice to see family again.

And the country is GORGEOUS!

On the road again.....

Sorry that I have been missing in action. The boys & I made a road trip to KS again and now we are on the road to TENN with my parents. The drive has been great, it is sooo beautiful! I drove the first 5 hours and now my dad is in the drivers seat, the boys are sleeping and mom is reading.
We found out that my uncle has lung cancer on our trip home last year. He went through chemo & radiation but the cancer is already back. He is trying to make it through another round of chemo but they say that he is not doing very well at all. My parents were going to TENN so instead of the boys & I going home today like I had originally planned I decided that we should make a detour. I struggled with whether or not I should come along or not. My parents need a vacation, a break from EVERYTHING!! And in a car for 10+ hours with 2 BOYS STUCK in car seats just was NOT appealing to me. But I knew what I had to do, what was right. Plus I am always up for a TENN fix!! The accent, the friendly waves from passer bys, the food, the family, the scenery......
I will try to post more soon but we are going to boondocks so only time will tell...hehe!!
Keep my family & I in your prayers.
God Bless!

Cereal

This weekend Colton had his first taste of cereal. As you can see he wasn't much of a

fan. He enjoyed it much more the next day.

Not only is he rolling over both ways now but he is also rolling ALL around the lr floor. Now I can barely leave the room without him rolling into the tables or chairs and getting

terribly pissed off about it and making sure that everyone around knows it.

It won't be long before I will be chasing him & Cayden around.

I should probably start working out now....training now.....so that I can

be in shape to keep up-HA!

I am proud to hear that Lynn has kept the kitchen clean & up to par. I just hope that her and the rest of the family are able to keep it up on a regular basis.
I hate the reality that I have to unload the dishwasher EVERY morning while Cayden is eating his breakfast and the fact that there is never ending laundry but that is life, the life that I have chosen. I LOVE spending the day with my boys and knowing that they are NOT spending 8-12 hours a day in day care with someone else other than me. Are there times that I want to run away-ABSOLUTELY!!! More often than I would want to admit. I am SOOO blessed that God has given me the gift of motherhood with no problems, no doubts that I am capable. I sometimes want to pull my hair out and wonder what the hell I was thinking but it was never up to me..............................so thank you God for believing in me when I didn't.
