the easy days

What a week!

It has started off so bad!! I have been so motivated and pumped up about working out and running, and Monday I was running on a crappy short treadmill and my foot got caught on the back of teh treadmill and I fell. Right on my knee, it immediately swelled up. Its fine now, my leg is black adn blue and sore but Im lucky that I didnt permanently hurt. But I have taken the week off of working out and it has made me feel blah. Working out is so hard when you are there doing it, but it really does make you feel SO much better. Hopefully I will get to start back up soon. (Fingers crossed)

So my Rylann funny of the week. Yesterday my mom was watching Rylann over at our house, they went outisde and Rylann picked up a piece of tree bark, he carried it around all afternoon. He does this with alot of random things, acorns, rocks etc. So no big deal right. Well he then goes and finds his fake soup can in his kitchen set up, and lays it right on top of Laramies dip can. THen puts the bark right beside it. He was pretending to "dip" like daddy. Its funny, but why do they always pick up the bad habits lol!



found my old wedding picture!! reminds me of the easy days!!!

Oh I love Saturdays!

Saturdays are such a fun day!! I love getting to stay home with the boys all day!! Rylann loves to sleep in, so it was just me and Pierce for a couple hours! He is learning soo much and is into everything! So this morning when Rylann finally woke up, I leave him and Pierce to play in the living room while I get Rylanns breakfast ready. I come back into the living room to find Rylann sitting on Pierce. I told Rylann to get up and that was mean mean to sit on his brother. THe rest of the morning Rylann walks around saying I mean, I mean. Well at least he admits it!

My sister came over to watch the boys for a couple hours this morning while I got my hair done! I went all dark! I love it!!!! I will admit that I have the best hair dresser!!! While I was getting my hair done, I get a picture from my sister, it was a picture of Rylanns rocking horse, it took me a minute to figure out what was going on, but Rylann kept telling her that his horse pooped and he would go get a diaper out of Pierces room. There was probably 30 of Pierces diapers underneath his horse! Im going to have to post a picture because it is hilarious!! He is at the funniest stage right now!!!

Well I better clean up this house before nap time is over!

Today we had a swim day! After me and Laramies workout, we decided to take the boys to the pool! It was so much fun! Pierce loved the water, he splashed and loved watching his brother! Rylann loves the water just as much as he did this summer!! He loved jumping in from the side, playing basketball with Daddy, he absolutely loved getting thrown in the air, but most of all he LOVED going down the slide with Daddy!

Pictures of our fun day:

Dear Pierce

Dear Pierce,

Today you are already 6 months. Hard to believe that just 6 months ago I was big and huge packing up to head to the hospital to have you. I knew it would be so challenging to have two babies under two. You have made it so easier then I ever thought it would be. Dont get me wrong it is very very very challenging, but you are the best baby. You are so laid back, you have the gummiest best smile, that makes the worst day turn around.

You and your brother are becoming best friends. When me and Daddy take you two to the gym nursery, he will not leave your side. The funniest thing yall do is roll around the floor playing. Most of the time it looks like he is winning, but you just laugh. Yall have so much fun together. It makes me sooooo happy to know that yall will be best friends.

At 6 months old you are :

sooo close to crawling. you are literally doing all the motions just not at the same time. you will be on the move any day now!

you can also go from sitting to laying, it always catches me off guard when I go in to get you after naps or in the morning and you are sitting up!

eating lots!! you still dont take the bottle every time, but you are trying lots of new foods. you like all fruits, you do not all veggies.

you like to eat yogurt bites and puffs. you are so cute!

you recognize mommy and daddy and you get excited to see us!

I am so excited that you are such a happy and healthy baby! I love you with all my heart and cant wait to see you grow up. But if you could slow down just a bit :)

Love,
Mommy

Wow...its been a whole month since I have updated!! Gosh! So much has happened!!

Well, we had an amazing Christmas!! It was very very busy!! We had such a fun time seeing ALL of our family!!! We had such a great time, but at the same time it was nice getting back on our schedule!

Pierce started Parents Day Out at Rylanns school. They both are doing amazing there! It is really cool seeing Rylann play with boys his own age. I think he might be the bully of the group, so hopefully we will meet someone to put him in his place soon! ha! Well I think Pierce is almost there! The boys like to roll around and play fight. You would think Rylann would be the stronger, tougher one. Well lets just say Rylann is always the one who ends up crying lol.

I have started running. It is so hard! I average 2 miles, 6 days a week. I have been doing this for the past 4 weeks, and it has not gotten any easier!! I am going to try and run a race in a few months. I have lots to work on!!

I will definately update more soon!

We have been going full force since last week! Lots to catch up on!

Friday night we took the boys to Santaland. Rylann loved it!! For yall not from around here, Santaland is in this big park and they decorate it all up in cartoon characters, like most of the disney characters, cars, handy manny, winnie the pooh, etc. Lots of colors, lots of lights, lots of fun, especially for a 2 year old. He was all over the place, everything was HOTT... hot is his favorite word. Everything is hot, the stove, dishwasher, any kind of lights, the food that is at most, lukewarm that he doesnt want to eat. But anyways, we stood in line to meet Santa for a good 20 minutes, me and Laramie took turns chasing Rylann around. But it just got too cold for us to wait, and the line didnt move one inch!!! So Saturday we FINALLY went and met Santa. The boys did SOO good!!! Rylann surprisingly did wonderful, and was very excited about him!! We have been talking him up for about a month now!

My wonderful, hard working husband won cowboy football tickets at work! So Sunday we woke up (almost 2 hours late, thanks Pierce for choosing that morning to sleep through the night!) dropped the kids off at Laramies moms, and speed to Dallas!! We met my parents for lunch and did some shopping before we headed to the game! It was awesome. That stadium is amazing. I had so much fun!!! It was a very short trip, we had to come Monday. But it was a very very fun day away. Way to go hubby for working so hard!! Thank you.

I missed my babies soo much. It was really hard leaving them. Being a mom is seriously the best thing that has ever happened to me. You really dont know what love really is until you have a child. Its so hard to explain but makes so much sense all at the same time.

Today was Rylanns school Christmas play. I was so excited, I just knew I had the star of the show. Well I will start off by saying, my babies are scheduled babies. If they are off their schedule by one minute, they are just off. Well they had to adjust their nap times, because of the party. No nap= a very frustrated Rylann. During the whole play Rylann managed to scream over all of the singing. All the kids were adorable though, oh well theres always next year!

I have no idea why I was so worried about Rylann not talking. Somebody turned his switch on!!! He wont shush up now!!! He is so funny! Half the time he calls me Sarah. When he does call me mommmy, its usually because hes in trouble and usually that gets him out. (I know, not very good displining, but you have got to hear him say it! its so cute!) Well this afternoon we were coloring, a firetruck goes by our street, and Rylann goes "I love you fire truck" then turns to his brother and says "I love you Piece" (we dont say r's very well). My heart melted!! Not only did we remember what a fire truck was, we love our brother!!!! That will make a mommys day right there!

Ill end on some pics!

The Keiths as elfs!

Merry Christmas!
