It is tough being a little brother...

Oh I can remember doing the same thing to my brothers....


Wesley in a bow!!

Hello, anyone there?

They learn fast...


Mommy it is for you...

Both of my kids love to talk on the phone!

WARNING: If you call my house a little girl might answer the phone & talk your ear off!!

Weekend with Nana and Dah

Remember spending weekends with your grandparents? I bet it wasn't anything like this...

Grandparents on wireless internet!! Gotta love technology!

We had a nice/quick weekend with Nana and Dah. They got to witness first hand Wesley's walking skills. He is a boy on the move!!

We also went to Mill Outlet (fabric store) I could spend hours there! If only there wasn't two men and two kids with mom and me!! Then we went to Jason's Deli and Costco. The kids were great and they got lots of prizes!

Oh I can't forget Butler also came down. Mr Chew acted like he was 3 again and Lawson just LOVES having a dog around smaller then her!

That evening we had Salmon on the grill and Lawson enjoyed watching lots of Cat videos on Utube with Dah.

It was a quick weekend with the G-parents but we had a great time!!

Thank you for everything!

Hello!!

I know today is only Wednesday but it feels like forever since I have blogged. I was on a roll blogging every weekday for about 2 weeks. I thought I would give you a little update on Lawson and Wesley. You know because so much can happen in 5 days...

As of Sunday, Wesley's days of crawling are behind him. He is pretty much a full-time walker. He tries so hard to keep up with Lawson, but that is pretty tough right now. His big thing is to stand up in the middle of the room without using his hands. (Now that takes talent) I try to encourage him to use his hands but he is stubborn (no idea where he gets that from).

The other thing he is doing again is YELLING-- A LOT!! If you have been on the phone with me recently- you know how bad it is!! He yells for food, he yells for a drink, he yells when he is excited and wants attention. It is about ready to drive me crazy!! I do feel a tad sorry for him because all of his gums are swollen with molars cutting through but still. Enough is enough!! Whew!!

Wesley making sure we all know he does not do purple or tutu's!!


Then there is Ms Lawson. Let's see, it appears naps are a thing of the past!! Oh NAPS how I miss thee!! She is just not tired. So that has been a challenge but one I have come to accept (kind of). Also, today I am enrolling Lawson in her Pre-Kindergarten classes for next year at her church pre-school. (Tissue please) I can't believe that is possible!! Time flies!! I will turn on the water works when she gets closer to kindergarten. Oh my!!

I guess that is it from here. I will leave you with a picture of Ms. Lawson goofing off!

The Dancing Queen...Like the outfit!

Lawson Talk: Deal or No Deal

Last week Lawson was talking to my mom on the phone and this is the conversation I heard...

L: Nana, how is Buster (the cat)?
listening

L:Oh, I have an idea. How about if I give you Chewy and you give me Buster? Then you will have 2 dogs and I will have one cat, is that a deal??
listening

L: I will give you Chewy! (Desperate plea)
listening

L: Okay... (Very disappointed)

NO DEAL!!

Between you and me...I think Lawson will have a cat one day, no matter what her daddy says!

Mission Complete

Yesterday. we made our First Snowman at the Fitts' Household!!! We enjoyed a sunny morning outside in the snow! It was really nice outside. Lawson "helped" and Wes supervised!!

Lawson is still eating snow!! Poor Wes needs some shades!!


For my first snowman in YEARS I did alright. Lawson would of liked it bigger, but oh well!


Lawson's first snowman!!


It is okay that my back hurts and so do my knees. It was worth it!!

SNOW DAY!!

Today was a SNOW DAY!! We got between 5-6 inches today!! It was a glorious day and as one of Lawson's books say "Thank you God for fluffy white snow, that quiets the noisy world" It is so true!! It was beautiful (cold) day and nice to spend the day with the kids with no agenda!!

It would of been better if Daddy was around, but he is in the land care business and he was at work at 3AM this morning!! What a guy- if it was me I would of called in sick!!

Anyway- I was excited about a snow day, so when I woke up this morning I made the kids snowmen pancakes. It was a tradition in my home as a kid and I started it in my home for my kids!!


Mr Chew LOVES the snow!! He was the first one to brave the cold!


Wesley's First Snow & in his daddy's snow suit!!


Lawson loved the snow!


Snow Angel!


Snow hitting her in the face


Mommy and Lawson enjoying a snow day together!


(The picture I am not showing is of Lawson crying because she is cold!!)

Warm Cocoa tastes so YUMMY!!


Yep, I laid him in the snow (I am nice like that!!)


Just don't eat the yellow snow!


Mommy, Lawson and Wes!!


We had a great day! Tomorrow we are going to try to make a snowman!!

Guess what is in the forecast??

Tomorrow we are expecting S-N-O-W!! I have got the all the snowsuits ready, a make shift sled, and hot cocoa! All I need is the white stuff!!!

This will be Wesley's first snow and Lawson's first 'real' snow (more then a dusting) !!! Can you tell I am excited?

Hopefully the forecast is right, because Wake County has officially shut down and the first flake hasn't touched the ground!! No school for Lawson!!!

Praying for Harper

One of the many blogs I read is called Kelly's Korner. Kelly is an amazing Christian who has been writing about her trouble with getting pregnant to the glorious gift of pregnancy. (I found her blog about a month ago and have been following it) On Friday Kelly, at 40.5 weeks, gave birth to Harper Brown Stamp a 9lb 12oz baby girl. Harper was having trouble breathing at birth and they found out she was diagnosed with pneumonia. She was transported to a Children's hospital and was not given a good chance to live. Through the miracle of prayer the baby is doing unbelievably better and does not need a by-pass (ECMO) because she is doing so much better. With that being said she is not completely out-of-the-woods. I am sharing this with you all to join me in prayer for Little Harper and her family. Trust me when you read her blog you feel like you know her and you would love to have her in your circle of friends! I think that one of the gifts of blogging is to be able to connect to people to whom you would NEVER connect with on a normal basis and we can spread the word to help each other.

Kelly wrote "He (her husband) just called me crying because he couldn't believe the kindness we have been shown. It's so overwhelming. Our whole family has cried so much because of the overwhelming kindness of friends and strangers."

I have to say I am always encouraged by the kindness of strangers!!

Dancing Princess!

Miss Lawson started dance class again yesterday (remember we took lessons in the summer) and LOVED every minute of it.
