Update with No Pictures. . . sorry!

Jerry took the camera (with our memory card) to work today, but I'll post pictures soon that coordinate with what I'm about to blog about.

It's been awhile since I've blogged. The last report was on Treyson's cute little tooth. Now he's up to 2 teeth, and I'm pretty sure he's working on #3 based on the whining that took place this evening!

So where do I start?

First off, the kids went to Fort Smith to spend time with their grandparents last Tuesday through Friday morning. Anniston and Treyson spent time with MaMa and PaPa on Tuesday and Wednesday, then Nanny and PawPaw R on Thursday and friday morning. Cousin Michael came to play on Wednesday, and Kinley was at Nanny and PawPaw's--Anniston was so excited to get to play with her cousins! I'm sure Treyson sat and smiled at the chaos throughout the day!

While the kids were in the Fort, Jerry and I worked (boo. . . ) during the day, and then went to Sam's club Tuesday night. . . kidless! Went to dinner at Mary maestri's and a movie (Taken--awesome movie) on Wednesday night, then watched Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice at the real times on Thursday (versus starting an hour later after kids are in bed and we're done with our showers). I must admit it was nice at times (got to sleep in); but we missed them terribly! We're so glad they had so much fun!

When the kiddos got back, we took Treyson for his 6 month well-child appointment (3 weeks late...that's what we do to see dr. Ball though). He is weighing in at a dainty 19 lb, 15 oz (85%). Everything else checked out great. Anniston was so good during the appointment and was given stick on earrings (you would've thought she'd won a million bucks) and a Chick-Fil-A meal for being brave??? That was sweet. . . I wonder if the ladies at the front realized that she wasn't there for herself. . . oh well.

On Saturday morning we had a play date with Olivia from gymnastics. Anniston and Olivia had a blast! The only time they see eachother is in gymnastics on Saturday mornings. Olivia's been in our class since the fall. These two little girls were just precious with each other.

It snowed all day Saturday. We decided to put a bowl outside to catch some snow. After dinner, Anniston and Treyson sat on a blanket in the living room and ate the snow...and loved it!

Treyson's scooting around on the floor. He also tries to push himself back up into a sitting position from being on his belly. He's so strong. We're definitely not used to this. Anniston didn't start crawling until she was 10 months old. I've already been doing some putting away of Anniston's things that are questionable when it comes to Treyson putting it in his mouth. The tricky part is getting some of these things out of Anniston's room without her realizing it.

Saturday evening we brushed Treyson's teeth with a big boy toothbrush for the first time. He smiled through the whole thing. Then we went into his nursery to read bed time books. I had both the kids in my lap. It was 8:00 (way past Treyson's bedtime) and he kept laying his head on Anniston's shoulder. It was so sweet!

That's about all for us! We are anxiously awaiting a phone call from our Aunt Melissa saying that Connor is ready to play. . . a little birdie told me that if he doesn't decide to come out and play by this weekend, then pitocin is going to get him moving early next week! haha (mel--remember what I told you. . . railroad tracks, long walks, bounce on yoga ball! It works!!)

Your family is adorable. I found your blog through another one and loved catching up on your family!

Can't decide who Anniston looks like.... :) Love it!
