7 months and Pray for Stellan!

The twins are 7 months old today. It seems that I waited forever for them to get here and now 7 months has already passed.





Enjoying the sunshine the the "limo"

Mom and I shopped on Saturday and we got them crocs, church sandals and tennis shoes. They are sooo cute!! Old Navy had all their baby clothes for 5 bucks!! What a deal! I racked up on clothes for Matt. Had to get Maggie a few things too, but she is pretty well taken care of with things Mollie Grace hands down.

Allen turned 37 on Monday. We had a little birthday celebration on Saturday night. Food was good, band was great, some of the folks there were a little different, but all in all, we had a great time.

Kyle can officially drive. He got his permit. He was so excited. Wanted to borrow my car and when I told him the only way he could do that was if I was with him, he changed his mind. For those of you that don't know, Kyle has been driving since he was about 6 years old. He is a very good driver. He just doesn't understand that he is not officially a licensed driver. He thinks he should be able to go where he wants with no one with him. We have been letting him drive to school since it's so close and so much easier for me, he tends to drive over to the store to work and to visit the grandparents. It's hard for me to believe that he only has 8 more weeks of school left and then I will have a 10th grader. I can remember the day he started to kindergarten. We both cried and cried. Dee Thompson was his teacher and she was so good to him. She would call me to let me know he was fine and not to worry about him. Now I don't think he needs me as much, but he is still my baby. First born. And there is just something about those first born children. He has really stepped up and helped when it comes to housework, taking care of babies, etc. He can aggravate the heck of you sometimes, but you gotta love him.


I would like to ask all of you to be in prayer for sweet little Stellan. I have a button on the left side of my blog that you can go to and read. His mother was told that he had a heart condition in the womb and would not make it. She chose to go thru with the pregnancy and Stellan was born at full term and with a healthy heart. Over the weekend Stellan got to feeling bad and MckMama took him to the ER. He was admitted to the Children's Hospital with SVT, the heart condition he had in the womb. PLEASE pray for Stellan and his family.

Little Road Trip

Saturday, March 7, 2009, Dad, Mom, the Twins and I went to Eupora to visit my great-aunt and uncle and my cousin and her family. Matt and Maggie were great riders. My great-aunt Rudell, I call her Mamaw Rudell, turned 80 on March 12. When Shane and I were small we would go to Eupora for a week in the summer and stay with them. We always had a blast and have great memories of those days.

I wish we all lived a little closer so we could visit more often. Here are a few pics of our time together.

--------------------------------------------
We took the kids to the doctor last Wednesday for shots:

Matt: 19.0 lbs.

Maggie: 15.2 lbs.

They are growing by leaps and bounds! Maggie is starting to crawl and keeps us busy. Matt will roll over on his belly, but hasn't started getting up on his hands and knees yet. He thinks we should just carry him to where he needs to go. They both have been sick with the crud, but maybe we are on the downhill slope and will feel better in a day or two.

Maggie's toes polished for the first time! We just need some warm weather so we can go barefoot or wear some sandles!

Maggie not getting her way! "I don't like this car, hold me and HOLD ME NOW!"

Maggie first ponytail! I love it.

Maggie's new walker! She is on the move. We better all watch out!

Matt and his cute Jeep walker.

Two precious little ones growing up so quickly before my eyes!!

Have a great day!
