You Really Need Just One More Mom!

Hey everybody. I hope you all had a great weekend. The boys and I are holding down the fort while Monte is out in the field again. He left on Thursday and will be back on the 25th. While he was packing his gear, Nate decided he was going to go to the field with his dad this time and suited up. It was too cute and I had to take a picture for the blog.

We didn't do much this weekend, just hung around the house. We got some new neighbors and they have three boys ages 17, 11 and 8. The younger two hit it off really well with Brady and Nate. They've been hanging out a lot, walking their black lab and playing football in the back yard. Its great to finally have some kids Brady and Nate's ages next door. They were beginning to get bored with not having anyone around.

I did the usual mom stuff this weekend, you know laundry, cleaning and cooking. I found out on Friday that the little boy I take care of got into the base daycare. His last day with me will be January 26th. It will only be a total of 30 days or so that I've watched him, but I've gotten used to him being with me during the week. It will be strange not having him here and the boys have already asked if we can visit him once in awhile. Nate even thinks we should have another baby. Although, its not Karson that's prompted this idea in him. He's been telling Monte to put a baby in my tummy for about a year now (when he asked how babies get into the moms tummies, I told him the daddies put them there). And just this morning, while taking him to school, Nate said it was great to have Karson sitting in the car seat in the back. He said, "Mom, I know you said you only wanted two kids, but you really need to have just one more baby." He feels that he needs to have someone to be a big brother to, just like Brady is to him. It was just too cute!

Monday the 5th was Grandma Lorraine's birthday and Friday the 9th was my niece Tristen and my nephew Devon's birthday's. I just wanted to say I love you and again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Well, that's about it for now. Take care everyone and God Bless! :)
