Busy Days!

Today the boys and I cleaned up some. They cleaned their toys off the stairs and the gameroom! Austin vacuumed the stairs (fun to him) and Trae got out all the arts and crafts. Gaga came over and bought them a slip n slide and some water guns, they had fun doing that and swimming in their pool all day. Hayden wants to play with them so bad! He really wants to be wherever they are and he wants mommy to come too. I made Pot Roast and vegetables tonight and Austin and I made chocolate chip cookies too!

We hung out with Gaga and Emmi yesterday and had a good time. Emmi is so precious and so big! She is a tall little thing!! She isn't too sure about other kids yet....when Hayden would scream out of joy she would cry. Must be a little girl thing..?? She has beautiful blue eyes and her hair is really coming in!

Yesterday the boys also got a surprise from mommy. They have been so good lately and so sweet so I bought them each a baby bunny at the Pet store. Our Thumper died last Thanksgiving and we have all wanted another one since then. We still had all the stuff so all we needed was the bunnies. This time I got two so they wouldn't get lonely. They named them Brownie and Theodore. These are the 10th names for them so far...they keep changing every 10 minutes. Hopefully something will stick soon. I am so blessed to have such sweet, loving, cute boys! They are the best.

The older boys just got out of the shower and are running around here naked, I better get them some pajama's and underwear.

The boys are growing up so fast! In a couple months Austin will be starting Kindergarten, Trae will be starting 1st grade. They both will be in football, Austin-flag and Trae-tackle. Hayden is now 10 1/2 months old and will be 1 years old in a month and a half!!!! Time sure does pass quickly when you have kids. You stay so busy all the time.

Trae is finishing up school, it is almost over. Austin has been doing great and really hasn't gotten sick since he had his tonsils and adnoids removed. Trae seems immune to pretty much everything now. Hayden has been doing great too. He has been crawling for a month and a half and is pulling up on everything now. He wants to walk so bad! He also wants to feed himself and fights you for the spoon.

Hayden said "mama" for the first time on Saturday. Now he says it all the time!! Yea! Hayden is eating some table food and still loves his baby food. I would say his favorite fruit is Bananas and his favorite vegetable is carrots. He is still drinking his formula but not for much longer. He is wearing size 6-9 month clothing and size 3 shoes. His hair is coming in slowly but surely and is blonde. He still has the dark green and brown eyes but that could change....

I better go, the baby is up!

Please pray for sully!


Here is his story from his website:


Sullivan 'Sully' Farrar was born May 1, 2007. Our little man was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) on July 12, 2007. Sully's journey began on July 11, 2007. It was a day like any other day. Jason got up and went to work, and Hannah, Sully, and I were on a mission to find a Scooby-Doo backpack for Hannah. Sully, Hannah, and I went to Toys 'R' Us, Target, and then met Jason for lunch. As the day went on Sully began to eat less. I noticed he just was not quite himself. That evening we went to church and this is where it all began. My friend, Christina, was holding Sully when he vomited all over her. I called Sully's pediatrician and they said to take Sully to the ER because he probably had a stomach bug. So, Christina and I left church and went to the ER. I called Jason and he was on his way to meet us. Little did we know what we were going to learn about our little man . The pediatrician on call ran all the right tests that night. She did blood work, an ultrasound, and x-rays. During the ultrasound Sully began to develop purple bumps on his head. That is when I knew something was terribly wrong. Not long after, the pediatrician came in and told Jason and I that Sully had leukemia. She said that his white blood cell count was 400,000. About an hour later we were on our way to St. Jude. The next day Sully was diagnosed with ALL. We were told Sully was born with leukemia and that he only had a 15% chance. Sully has been on this journey ever since.
