Wow... how time flies!!

My life has been so busy that I have even forgot about this blog... now my second baby is almost 3!!! I so wish I had kept this up, posting the little things... hindsight has such a way of crushing you!! LOL... however,

Cade just graduated PreK... I cannot believe he is 5... almost 6, mama... years old! He has grown so very much!! He did so well in PreK... his teacher said he was definitely a leader, everyone wanted to play with Cade... I was so worried he would be a follower and follow the wrong crowd! But maybe not...

He is so into Transformers right now... he loves them, I HATE them! :-) just the action figures that he always wants me to transform!! LOL... he is really into sleep overs and loves to have friends over and even likes to go to others to sleep over...

And then there is Camdy Blake (Camdyn Blake) he has grown soooo fast!!! It seems that the past three years in some ways have just flown by! Yep... July 24 he will be 3 years old!! Thinking a pool party... He is talking up a storm these days... not sure what all he says, but it makes sense to him! LOL... most of the time tho I can understand, but sometimes I take on the mantra... "JUST ONE MORE TIME!"

I am proud to say that he has been potty trained since he turned 2!! I know how much of a blessing that is... and these days he even dresses himself... I just try to pick the clothes out before he does and I try to convince him why the clothes I pick are better than the ones he pulled out of the hamper!! :-)

So here we go... trying to keep up with all the sweet things they do while growing up!!! I will try to do better and add this to at least one of my weekly 6 most important things to do list! :-)

Catching a Ride!

Here is Boogie with his Daddy on the lawnmower. We tried to find his kid sunglasses (to keep the sand/dirt out of his eyes) but we couldn't so I let him use a really big pair of mine! Check those ears out! Daddy's earplugs were too big for his tiny ears, so he had to wear some ear muffs I had bought him when he was tiny to protect his ears from the loud drums @ church! He loves to ride the lawnmower or tractor... whichever Daddy is on at the time! I can't believe how fast he is growing...

Talk Talk Talk

He can say almost anything he wants to now... he is making sentences and putting words together like you wouldn't believe! The other day we were at the playground and he spoke to a little girl... He said, "you girl, your name?" She said "Emma"... he patted his chest and said, "Me Cade". I thought that was the most precious thing!

His memory is even more amazing. About 3 months ago we went the movies and got some popcorn. We hadn't had any popcorn since and when someone offered him some at the ballgame I told him it was popcorn and he like it the last time he tried it... with not hesitation he looked at me and said, "At the movies, mama?" How does he do that? And he is remembering names and Lord forbid that I tell him we might do something in a few days b/c in a few days he will remind me that I said it!

Potty Training

This week has been an excellent week for the potty! He has told me every time that he has to go... even poo poos! I'm so proud of him... Life will be much easier with just one baby in diapers... Everyone says that he will regress when Baby C gets here, but I really hope he doesn't regress that much! He likes to stand at the potty and pee pee now... for the longest he wanted to sit down and do it... I don't really care how he does it as long as he does it!

It could have been you...

Harley Chestnut, 3 months old, died today. She was fine at 3 am when her mom fed her, but dad checked on her at 7 am and she wasn't breathing... he tried hard to bring her back... Mason, her big brother new that she had already gone to be with Jesus and her Granny... he told his dad so... I kept thinking it could have been you, or that it could happen to your unborn baby brother... God knew my fears... he sent Bro. Gene by to tell me not to have a spirit of fear... I don't know how he knew how I was feeling, but God had to impress those words on his heart to reassure me... I hope I never have to know what I would do in that situation... I never want that situation to happen to me, ever, ever, ever!!!!!

Potty Rebellion

You have been doing fairly well with using the potty when Mommy can remember to tell you to... you still don't tell mommy when you have to go and you don't like using it for anyone else... yesterday and today have been rebellious days! You soiled every pair of pants you had yesterday and at least 1/2 that many today... tomorrow we must do better, me and you!!

Things you say...

I love when you say "Hold ya, mama!" It's so sweet... I guess you got it from asking "Do you want us to hold ya?" It's the sweetest thing to my ears!
