Parks and Slides

My baby boy is obsessed with parks and slides right now. They are the most coolest thing in the world to him. He is always asking me to take him to the park. He says "mommy... swide?" (his word for "slide"). Donovan and I always try to take him to the park every weekend. He loves to swing, he loves to go down the slides and he loves to climb up and down the stairs to the slides.

This past weekend my Mom had taken him to the park behind her house. Donovan and I were watching him play on the slides through her back window. He climbed up the tallest and biggest slide there. My Moms husband had went to the bottom of the slide to wait for him to come down. Liam decided to turn around and go back down the stairs. Next thing I know I am watching my son do a head dive from the top of an eight foot slide. I ran for my life. I ran so fast around the block my flip flops came off. Donovan scaled two six foot walls to get to him. He was OK- thank the Lord. But he sure did scrape up his face and now has a black eye. His babysitter asked him "Liam what happened?" He told her "fell down swide".

As soon as he was done crying he went right back to that eight foot slide like nothing ever happened.
Liam's ouchie
My little boy is a two year old dare devil. As his mother I am NOT prepared for more falls and spills. My hair is turning grey thinking about it. Ughhhhhhh.

The Time Has Come...

The time has come where we let my little boy run around the house like this:


Because we are trying to teach him all about this:

Pray for me!

First Of Three

Sheyenne and Me!
My Sister-in-Law had her baby! She did it. She was so strong. She was in labor for twenty seven hours. Both her and Sheyenne Mae are OK and healthy. Sheyenne looks a lot like Liam did when he was a newborn. She is perfect. She is beautiful. She is healthy!

She was born at 3:35AM on March 1, 2011. Good thing Leap Year is next year, or else she would've been born on February 29th! She weighs 7 pounds 12 ounces. She is 20 1/2 inches long and she has the cutest little hands and feet. She takes after her cousin- with ALLLL the hair!

She is the first of three babies to be born this year (among other friends who are expecting. Next is Brianna! Brianna is going to leave her babies gender a surprise!!!!!!

Brianna and Sheyenne
I cant wait for Brianna to have her little one! It is super exciting to be surrounded by all these little babies.
Around the same time Brianna is due, Donovan and my very good friend Nate is expecting a baby. His wife Diedra is due a week before Brianna and they are also having a girl!

So we have one of three here so far. Cant wait for the rest!

I am tired. I've been up all night and had to work today. So, I am out. Praise God for the healthy baby!
