Grocery Shopping Fun

Our local grocery store has these adorable little grocery carts....last night we let Cade push one around the store and he was such a big helper!!

Brooks even got in on the fun....

Funny Story Friday

Last week daddy was doing bath time with the boys. We can now bathe them together which is SO much easier. He was dressing Brooks with his back turned and meanwhile Cade was shoveling water out of the bathtub by the cupful and pouring it on the bathroom floor. I was not home otherwise this wouldn't have happened so when I got back I came home to the rugs laying over the fence outside and came home to Daddy cleaning up water that was EVERYWHERE!!!! By the time he realized what Cade was doing, it was too late...Oh daddy's, it seems that always something goes wrong when they are baby watching!!!! It makes me laugh every time.....

SURPRISE.....

For those of you who have checking my blog every day waiting so patiently for my surprise to be revealed, here it is....

THEY ARE MOVING TO ZACHARY!!!!!!

For those of you who don't know, this is a picture of our best friends Tommy and Heather Gould with their two boys Gage (14 months) and Mason (5 weeks) and yes, they are going to be our neighbors...(INSERT HUGE SMILE) Josh and I are thrilled beyond words!!! For those of you who aren't aware we seriously have the cutest story of how our separate friendships began and inter-twined into joint love stories, kids, and now we are going to be neighbors!!!!  Heather and I used to always talk about how much fun it would be to raise our kids together and live right next door...well our dreams are finally coming true!!!!!

Last Friday, on my birthday, (they win the best present award) Tommy signed a contract with the hospital, Lane Regional Medical Center, in Zachary to become a part of their family practice beginning in the summer of 2013 once he finishes his residency in Lake Charles. Can I tell you I did a serious happy dance/cheer in our front yard while Cade and I were playing outside and yes, Cade thought I was crazy, haha (and possibly the neighbors did too)!!

Heather and I are already discussing we can be room moms together when Gage and Brooks are in the same class, Josh and Tommy can take the boys to do all kinds of fun things together and we are already discussing weekly family meals together :) I mean how awesome is my surprise????!!! I know most of you are probably disappointed b/c I built it up...I understand no one is probably as excited as me!!!

I am so grateful and ecstatic beyond words for this amazing news!!! Thanks Tommy and Heather for making my life a little bit closer to perfection....love you both :) and I look forward to summer 2013!!!! (now if only the rest of my family could follow in their footsteps.....I'm praying hard :) Love you all too!!)

Cade's Surgery.....

Cade had ear tubes and his adenoids removed yesterday. We had to be there at 6 a.m. for the check-in. Mommy was super nervous b/c of the anesthesia. But Cade did great!! He was playing his IPad before the surgery (if you have never seen this kid work an IPad it is quite a treat....he is a WIZ at it!!!) The doctors and nurses were all impressed with his skills.....

Waiting to go back to surgery, he had no idea what was about to happen!! While we were waiting he was playing on the hospital bed jumping, shaking the bed, playing peek-a-boo with the curtains, running around like a crazy man!! The nurses were laughing at him b/c he was having such a good time. Then they took him back, which I got a little teary eyed but maintained my composure well considering.....About 10 minutes passed and he was done.

The WORST part was him waking up from the anesthesia...it was awful!! He was throwing himself around and didn't know what was going on, he would open his eyes but you could tell he didn't know who I was at first. It took him about 30 minutes to snap out of it and he still wasn't happy with where he was. We decided to go ahead and leave and the second we walked out of those hospital doors he was a happy boy...pointing at the birds and cars and I even got a little smile :)

 He slept the whole way home.....

When we got home he was a little fussy but as soon as he saw his brother, he perked up it was full speed ahead. You would have never been able to tell the child just had surgery. They told us he would sleep for a couple of hours but not Cade....he doesn't like to miss out on the fun!! Brooks and Cade played all day together. Here he is below with all of his after surgery treats...RaRa sent him some books for his get well day!!

He is recovering well, he got fussy a couple of times yesterday when he would settle down long enough to probably realize something felt weird, but Dani and and Grandpere are here today (DD has been here since Thursday to help with the kids) so he has been a little show-off!! We are hoping this surgery is going to help him stay well longer than he has been....so far he has been almost 4 weeks now without a sickness which is a record from the last 6 months....makes me want to do a happy dance!!!!

Thanks for all of the prayers and support from our family and friends over the last couple of days. As the doctor said after his surgery...we are back to business as usual around here!!

My Cuties....

Happy Birthday Mommy....

Yesterday was my birthday....28 years old, AHH!!! Two more years to thirty, I can't believe I am this old!!! I will spare you my "statistics" and  "fun facts" like I do for the boys and instead leave you with a picture of my little man enjoying some of my birthday cake that daddy got for me....MMMM...

I had a great birthday b/c my little Cade man did great in surgery, I got the day off to take care of and spend time with my boys AND one more surprise happened to me that I cannot reveal yet but stay tuned.....for those of you whose minds are wondering NO I AM NOT PREGNANT!!! haha!!
