visit with aunt betty.

aunt betty came up to hot springs this past weekend. and one lucky little boy got to go spend some time with her. he loves her and can't wait until he's old enough to go down and stay with her, rob, frank and nick for mardi gras parades!

he told me on the way home that he can't wait to eat his first king cake. maybe next year, pratt.

he's laughing so hard in these pictures because of skeet, the dog. he thinks animals are the funniest things ever. pretty much all day, we laugh at ace and yoda.







here are pratt and cookie reading. he loves to read. he loves to grab the pages and try to get them into his mouth. and it really doesn't even bother me. well, yes...it does. but i'm working on it. i know that i'll just have to accept that there will be times when he'll probably tear a page (it kills me to type that) and he'll probably mix play-doh colors before it's all over with. i'll have to be put on meds though...i won't even pretend i can handle that.

we have the eric carle board books...but i'm starting to think that maybe all children's books should come in board book format. then i wouldn't be so paranoid. i'm crazy, i know.



and his signature move. his two middle fingers in his mouth.

I love reading to Zane, too. And I like to pretend he understands every word I say :)

So glad I got to meet "Pat" the other day! Don't know if I told you that a woman thought Zane's name was "Todd" the other day because she heard Matt call him "Tot"....as in tater tot...obviously derived from Potato...because he's Zane-O Potato Head. Yes, we are weird.

About Me

My photo
i'm a girl who likes to write. not a girl that's necessarily good at writing. it's cathartic, i think. and boy do i need that from time to time. i married a wonderful man named clint in may of 2007. he is everything i am not. he is calm. he makes plans. he is organized. his truck is always clean. his clothes are hung by types of shirt/color/size/etc. i'm full of nervous energy. i'm spur of the moment. i can't ever find what i'm looking for. we live in my car...pretty much. i'm lucky if my clothes are within ten feet of my closet. God gave us a precious angel of a baby in september of 2008. his name is pratt allen. he is 2.5 years old.we have another little one on the way. his name is max wesley. and he is due may 19th. somehow i'll be the mother of two boys. craaaaa.zy. i spend my days cleaning house. picking worms and caterpillars out of the flower beds. cooking meals. shopping at target. washing clothes. playing on the floor. reading books. doing puzzles. traveling to sonic. and the library. and blogging. i hope you enjoy our blog. feel free to leave a comment. hopefully it's a nice one. i tend to wear my heart on my sleeve.
