B's Actual BIRTHday

 On B's actual birthday we did the same that we have done since his first........presents in the morning (InnoTab) & then 

 Chuck E Cheese in the evening!!  He freaking LOVES this place but it really isn't made for the younger kids.  I think that he will really like it next year though.  He really only wants to play the games that have balls that he can throw so he plays lots of basket ball & a little skee ball.  

Trying to explain to a 3 year old that he needs & should through the ball underhand & not overhand is quite difficult & he tends to throw it in the next skee ball lane!

Colton really enjoyed himself as well until it got into his dinner time & then he only had food on the brain!

Overall I think that the birthday boy had a great time & as always Lance & I enjoyed watching him run around like a hellion from game to game only to get bored with them literally after only a few seconds.

He is growing so fast & is such a good boy.  We are finally getting him into the school system to help with his Speech Apraxia as well as his sensory issues.

It has been a lot of work so far & there is so much more to be done but the words that he is finally starting to say are music to our ears!  I'll post more about that very soon though..........

believe me you will not be disappointed with the income potential!!

15 Month Old Colt

 I don't know where the time is going but this little guy is getting so big so fast; he is growing up faster than B did that's for sure!!  He celebrated his 15 month milestone August 3rd (B's birthday) & I think that he thinks he is the one that turned 3.  He is defiantly getting to big for his britches!!  He is mister independent & wants to do everything on his own...........until he does, gets hurt & then wants mommy.  He is a momma's boy for sure; he used to be a daddy's boy but I secretly whispered in his ear that I was cooler & he finally listened.

He is in 18 month clothes but is pushing the limits on those, he is in size 4-5 shoes, he has a million teeth coming in (which are making him VERY moody), he sleeps like a champ most nights & eats like a pig!!  The kids sees food & wants it; his belly literally sticks out by the end of the day from eating; it is the cutest thing.  He is in the 98% for height & his weight & head are both average; I said this with Brayden too but his daddy is very happy that they have my height & has both of their football futures with UGA planned out.

Colt is into EVERYTHING.  We have moved the trash can into the pantry & have to make sure that door stays closed or else he'll get into it & pull out food to eat all day.  He gets into the stuff under the sink in the bathroom (which is just shampoo, towels, & TP) so that door stays shut & so does the spare bedroom door down stairs since he likes to grab the candles off of the night stand.  No is a word he says & he knows the meaning of but he does not listen too AT ALL.  He is very strong willed & wants what he wants & if he doesn't get what he wants he is already doing the "throw myself on the floor" temper tantrums.  I am afraid for our lives as he gets older!!

He is very attached to his little Mickey Mouse & blankie & likes to have them in his little chair downstairs.  He loves to be outside & loves to wear his crocs; he will grab them & hand them to me right when we walk into the garage & sit right down so I can quickly put them on.  His new drink love is a juice box & want to drink them all the time but he squeezes them of course so he can't hold them just yet.  He is jabbering up a storm & had a great vocabulary in the works but his favorite word is "baby".  That is what B calls him so he points at things that he wants & says "baby"; he says it for anything & everything & it is the CUTEST thing in the world to me.

Colton you are a little stinker but you are our little stinker & we love you more than you can ever know.  Watching you grow, progress, & change is amazing & even though we'd like for you to also be the baby you are now our little big toddler & you are amazing!  You are pure joy & laughter, your smile lights up a room & fills your momma's heart with love.  You are perfect & we love you always!!

Happy 35th Birthday Boobala.....

Happy Birthday to the most amazing man that I have ever known!  You are the best husband & father that I could have ever dreamed of being in my life!!  I know that this year has been tough & although we have our ups & downs my love for you never changes; it grows stronger with each & every obstacle that we overcome!!  You are my life, my world, my everything & I love you more than I can ever express in words!!

Happy Birthday Boobala!!

Wordless Wednesday

There is no greater love than the love I feel for my family!!

Daddy Time

Lance has been working so much lately that I feel like we barely ever get to see him; BUT when we do we make the most of it!!  He is such a loving dad & is so afraid that the boys won't love him because he's not around but he has no idea how much he really is loved by us all!!

Puppy Love ;

We bought B a little cars chair from Walmart & very quickly the dogs took it over as theirs.  Thankfully B love them very much & shares it with them.

Happy Valentine's Day.........

From our family to you & yours!!

I know that people say that today is a Hallmark holiday but I happen to be quite a fan of the day.  I think that it is a day of love that people look forward too mare than they want to admit. I think that it is filled with romance that more people should embrace & cherish.  Who cares if you are being romantic, loving & caring because it is a holiday............romance & love & expressing you heart felt feelings are good for any couple or family!!  I am not one to agree with the $500 present for today but I love a good card, a meal made just for me or even just a heart felt "I Love You".

I hope that you all have a wonderfully Happy Valentine's Day!!!

I Do Love My Husband!

I was getting my hair done last week & telling one of the other hair stylists there (his son & Brayden were born a week apart) that we were expecting again & he said "Well at least that means you & Lance still like each other" & my heart broke for him.  Was he saying that he & his wife weren't getting along & having problems??  Was it because of the new baby in their relationship??  It made me so sad & I just wanted to jump up from under the hair dryer & give him a hug!

I am not going to sit here & say that Lance & I are the perfect couple; as a matter of fact all we did was fight & bicker yesterday & I went to bed crying because it made me so sad for us.  BUT, this morning when I woke up (at 3:30 am) & I remembered just how much we love each other & how much our family means to us & even though we may have bad days or even a bad couple of days it is all alright because we know that neither one of us is going anywhere & that our love is stronger than it ever has been.  I know that right now I can be a little difficult & maybe a tad moody but that no matter what Lance loves me, he may hate my moods but he loves me no matter what & that is all that matters at the end of the day!!

Having children isn't easy & the adjustment period when they arrive (& throughout their lives) is sometimes mind boggling & nerve racking but it is the most rewarding & heart warming thing that has ever happened to Lance & I.  After Brayden goes to bed & Lance & I get to just sit & relax I will tell him about all the things that Brayden did that day & we will both just sit, cuddle & smile about each & everything no matter how small it might have been.

Marriage is hard work as it is so when you throw a child in the mix, plus 2 dogs, plus a pregnant wife, plus a crappy economy, plus bills needing to be paid, plus, plus, plus it gets even more difficult HOWEVER it is a great journey that is supposed to be enjoyed & I hope that any couples that have lost sight of that remember it very soon!!

I love my husband no matter what!!  He leaves every light in the house on all the time which drives me crazy actually he drives me crazy a good bit of the time, he can be moody, grumpy, he works very long hours & I sometimes feel like a single SAHM.  But those things are all overlooked & are outweighed because he is so loving, caring & giving, he is my rock, my best friend, my lover, an amazingly wonderful father, the sole provider for our family & he is the best man that I have ever met & am so blessed that God brought us together!!

I Love You Anyway....

I was catching up on blogs & came across this one at Womens Marriage Ministry; it is a really powerful post & it really made me think about Lance & I & how we have been with each other lately. I thank God that we love each other anyway & not "just because".

We have a lot going on these days between renting the old house, purchasing the new house, little man's horrible cold (which is MUCH better today) & none of us sleeping, work, packing, moving.....things have been quite stressful & tense in the Goodson household to say the least BUT even with all of the arguing & bickering that Lance & I have have been doing at the end of the day we know that we love each other anyway & nothing can change that.

I have the most wonderfully loving, caring & amazing husband & I could never have asked for a better father for Brayden, Georgia, & Bella BUT when he doesn't empty the diaper genie after changing Brayden's diaper knowing it is full & I will have to do it next time, OR when I have just cleaning the kitchen & he walks into it & puts a dirty dish in the sink & not the dishwasher, OR even when he asks me to make him something healthy for lunch the next day & I do so & then he calls me the next day & tells me that he ate out instead of eating what I have made him.........in spite all of that I love him anyway.

You are my soul mate, my one & only, the love of my life & I love you in spite of all of the little things you do that aggravate me........I love you baby wouldn't trade you in for a million dollars :)
