"I see a mouse!"

As I am cleaning Timothy's bedroom today I notice Timothy grabbing blankets from just about every room in the house and tossing them in his closet. While I honestly thought nothing of it because well, he LOVES blankets just like his Mommy I asked him what exactly he was doing. To my surprise I hear him say "I see a mouse!" I was shocked! "Timothy, you see what????" I'm horrified! We have mice?? Since when??? Timothy says again "Mommy, I see a mouse!" I have to admit my heart starts racing as I make my way over to the closet so I ask him "Where is the mouse?" He says "Right here in the hole" Omg! A hole? Great there really is a mouse! I'm trying to stay calm and I start peeling the blankets out of the closet very slowly as to not scare the mouse *shudder* One blankets, two blankets, three blankets....ok one more blanket left. As Timothy is jumping up and down behind me "A MOUSE MOMMY, THERE'S A MOUSE IN THE HOLE!" I am dreading pulling back that last blanket! As I do I see no hole....but I do see a stuffed Chuck E. Cheese! Holy cow! Seriosuly kid? I pick up Chuck E. Cheese and Timothy gleefully starts jumping in circles.."You found my mouse Mommy" Silly boy had me scared out of my mind!

I'm a bad blogger!

I'm so sorry I have been so bad about blogging lately! Things are crazy busy around here now that Travis is crawling and pulling up on EVERYTHING! Timothy is doing good too. He is such a sweet little boy. How I got blessed with 2 such handsome boys I will never know but I thank God daily for them! I will be posing pictures soon! I have lots and lots to share :)

Donavan is still in school and searching for a job. He is at a job fair as I type this. Pray that he will be placed in the perfect job SOON! We know God has it all under control and in his timing Donavan will be placed exactly where he wants him but sometimes it's so hard to keep up the faith. I mean we are only human! I pray for God's guidance and direction daily. I can't imagine how we would be holding up in this kind of circumstance if we were not christians. Seriously, how do non believers do it? Thank the Lord I don't have to dwell on that! I KNOW God has it all mapped out. It's the waiting and unasurance as to what and when everything will come together. Please just continue to pray for our family. Thanks!

My little photographer

I swear this little boy is gonna be a jack of all trades. He loves so many things but I think his hidden talent is gonna be a photographer. Whenever he cans he sneeks off with my camera and snaps away. I always find the most interesting pictures on my camera.
Here are a few I just couldn't delete.... (excuse the smuged lens due to little fingers)

My buddy and Me

My boys really are the best of friends. They play together all the time. Timothy loves to have Travis come in his room and play cars or just sit and "read" books together. I hope they always have this kind of friendship. I know battles will come. I'm not naive enough to think that it won't happen but in the end I hope they are always best friends.

Travis loves his brother too! I find it amazing how at his very young age of 9 months he prefers to be with his brother than play by himself (even though he does play by himself just fine) For instance Timothy is napping right now *knock on wood* Travis just woke up from his nap so I place Travis on the floor to play. He sits and plays for about 3 or 4 minutes when he plops on his belly and starts crawling right to Timothy's bedroom door. He knows his brother is in there and he wants to play. I pick him up and tell him brother is sleeping and lets play over here. He totally bypasses me and darts straight for his brothers room again.

It just melts my heart! I love to see that he wants his brother.

Oh and in the mornings the first thing Timothy does besides asking for yogurt is looking in Travis' crib or when Travis wakes up from his nap Timothy darts into our room to go see Travis in his crib.

The giggles between these two boys is contagious! They laugh and laugh! I love it!

Nothing melts a mommies heart more than seeing her 2 children playing, laughing and loving on each other!

9 Months already?!?!

My sweet baby boy is 9 months old today!

As promised...Timothy singing "Jesus loves me"

I finally uploaded the video...so here ya go...Turn up your volume and get ready to oooooh and ahhh at my sweetie! He didn't sing the whole song for me but he did a mighty cute job at what he did do.

Go Go Travis Go!

Travis is hitting milestones everywhere!

Just since Saturday

~He has started rocking on his hands and knees....he's even tried moving his hand forward but he always ends up on his belly and army crawling to where he wants to go since it's faster but rocking means he's about to really crawl!

~ Today he went from a belly position to a sitting position on his own!

~ I went in to get him up from his nap today and he was on his knees holding onto the side rail! My jaw dropped so the mattress got lowered tonight!

~Oh and Travis has his first boo-boo...We still haven't figured out exactly how it happened but he got a good little bump and boo-boo on his forhead. You can see it in the pictures above.


I can't believe he is growing up so fast! How did the past almost 9 months go by so fast? My baby isn't so much a "baby" anymore!
