I think this is the first time that I have gone more than a week without posting! Things have been pretty same same around here and I've had a bit of bloggers block lately! But I do think that St. Patty's day is good enough reason for a post . . .
The boys woke up this morning and had been visited by a leprechaun! He (or she . . . grandma) left a "pot of gold" with a note from the leprechaun on the front porch. Mason was sooo excited and had to make sure that everyone was wearing green so the leprechaun wouldn't " jump out from behind a bush and pinch us!" Although I have to say that Mase is getting to smart for his own good! He thought that it may have been grandma that left the surprise on the porch and I had to reassure him multiple times that is WAS indeed the leprechaun and grandma only noticed and informed us of the surprise :)
On a separate note . . . I just wanted to play a little catch up (mostly for myself to remember) on the past two weeks.
Daxon is officially DONE nursing! As of last Friday when he so sweetly smiled at me while he was biting me during a feeding, I decided it was time to be done. He has done shockingly well, and it has been so much easier than I ever thought!
Also on Friday we took Mason for his kindergarten shots . . . how is he that old?? We have to go and register next week and it is becoming real! I don't think I'll be a cryer, but you never know!
After Masons appointment on Friday, we took Griff to an ENT and found out he needs his tonsils out ( no big shock, they are HUGE and he has less than a pee size opening to swallow ) so this will be happening in the next few weeks! The doc also checked out Mason and Daxons tonsils and lets just say I wouldn't be surprised if I was the only one left in the family WITH tonsils in the near future, but we'll see.
And to top it all off I had a tiny bump removed off my shoulder yesterday and now have 5 stitches in it's place which the boys are quite fascinated with! I'm thinking Griffin might turn out to be the squeamish one with that kind of stuff because he can barely stand to look at my "owie" and he wants it covered at all times. He even told me today "mom I just want you to feel better." What a sweetie!
Almost every day for the past couple months, Mason and Griffin have gone with grandma Jackie and Papa Kent ( Kasey's parents ) to go feed cows. They look forward to it every day and probably consider this the best part of the day! There has been a new baby or two every day for the past couple weeks and the boys just love them . They (with the help of gma and gpa ) have named a few . . . coco, buckwheat, grassyland, obama ( don't ask :) ), and if you asked Mason I'm sure he would be able to tell you a few more of the names! When a new calf is born gpa has to catch it and tag it to match its mom . . . so gpa got both Mase and Griff their own ropes to help catch the calves with! Now all they need are some cowboy boots and they will be set! ( Yes mom i really did say it . . . but my disclaimer is that Kent told the boys they needed to have gma Kim get them some boots . . . it totally wasn't my idea :))
