PUMPKIN PATCH

On Sunday we went to the Old Baker Farm. I wanted to share some of our photos with you. I was so excited about going and getting to take some really good pics of all the kids together. I had there shirts made alike for the pics, put them all in jeans, I was ready. If only I had for seen Mattson's terrible two's coming out. He would not take a pic with Anna and Payson. The one I have of all three of them together, Mattson is crying. And the only reason I got that shot is b/c I made him sit there and take a pic. So much for my perfect pic of my children at the pumpkin patch. It never works out the way you have planned in your mind. However I did get some other good pics of the kids. I think the only time he was not crying was when he was picking out his pumk-pumk. He was so cute when found the one he wanted he did not put it down. He carried it around the whole pumpkin patch. So maybe next year I will get a better photo of the three of them. For now here is some of what I have.....

Binks and Blanks

I took these pics Sunday after church. I had the camera with us and just thought that the boys looked cute just sitting there. When I loaded them on to my computer I noticed that each one of them had a picture with their bink (pacifier) and blank (blanket). Of course I thought is was sweet, so I thought I would share. My little boys love thier binks and blanks. But we will not have to many more pics with binks b/c Ho,Ho,(santa) is coming to get them. We have been telling Mattson in order for Ho,Ho to leave him toys, he must leave all of his binks for Ho,Ho to take to another boy. It might be a horrible christmas eve night!! Wish us luck....

Mattson and the Phone

So Mattson loves the phone. He calls me every day at work, our conversation consist of "Hi Mama, Hi Mattson I go bye-bye in Daddy's big truck? Yes, Mattson when Daddy's gets home, Hi Mama again, Mama miss me too. Bye-Bye Mama". Everything revolves around Daddy when it comes to him. Who said boys love their Mama's. So now when I am on the phone with someone, he wants to talk and usually it is with Nanna(my mother). So here are some pics of his conversation this week with his Nanna.

Long Time No BLOG.......

I guess I am not as good at blogging as I intended to be, I looked at all these blogs and thought what fun it would be and then I posted one blog and no more until now. We had a busy weekend with Anna, Mattson, & Payson. Sat Anna had a football game at Vincent it was bittersweet. Anna's team ended up winning, so that was good for her, but it is hard for us because we know some of the coaches for Vincent. We watched the Alabama game Sat. night over at Matt's family we did not get home unitl late so the boys were very tired. And on top of all of that Payson is teething. Just thought I would share some of our weekend highlights and some of the pictures. Rooll Tide!!! As Mattson would say.

Surprizes from Above

Last Sunday was Payson's dedication, at Church. As always when I am in front of a crowd I was totally nervous. But everything went very smooth. After it was over and Pastor Jason was preaching I began to think back about when I found out I was pregnant with Payson. It was the day before Mattson turned 1 years old. I was in total shock, not only was I not trying to get pregnant but I was on birth control. I remember seeing the ultra-sound and there was not even a heartbeat yet, just a black dot. I thought how could this of happened. Of course I cried and called my husband and as men always do he said "everything is going to be fine, it not a big deal". I said "no its not a big deal, I am just going to have a baby before my other baby is even 2 years old". I was worried I would not be able to be the mother I needed to be to Anna, Mattson or the new baby. I thought how could I possibly manage a 9 year old, a 2 year old, and a new born. As I look back at what a total surprise Payson was nothing could be any better. Anna and Mattson adore him ( wished they loved each other as much as they love Payson). I think how could He have not of happened. God new Payson before I ever saw that black dot in my womb. He new the plans for his life and the person he is and will become. He knew the blessing he would be to us and what joy he would bring to our family. 9/
