I know...and odd title huh? You might expect me to name it that if I got a Mercedes Benz or maybe a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes right? Not quite!
We got a minivan!! Oh yes!! I am so very excited! I nearly cried at the car dealership over a van! It's such a huge blessing you have no idea! My PT Cruiser (bless it's heart) left me stranded again on Sunday after church in the burning heat with my two kids and no air! No more! Those days are behind me! I owe it all to the Good Lord! He has blessed us!!
It has plenty of room! Power sliding doors--this was my favorite part about the van--I walk up to it with my two kids in my arms and push a little button on the key chain and the doors slide open!!
I can fit 8 people in it, my double stroller AND MY GROCERIES!!!
The van is beautiful! It's a charcoal gray! I have nicknamed my beauty, "Oddy" because it's a Honda Oddessy!! Vic now calls me, Hottie in the Oddy----how appropriate! ;)
Thank you Jesus for this much needed blessing!!
I'll post pics soon..

Trip to the ER
Well today we had another trip to the ER. What fun.. I shouldn't complain because at least my child is okay.
I was folding laundry today...there was a huge pile. Britton was in his jumpy and Bryce was roaming around the living room tearing through the piles I had already folded. I walked away for TWO SECONDS to put some towels in the bathroom when I hear a sound that sounds much like a pot or pan. Then I hear Britton SCREAM! I could tell by his scream that he was in pain. I turn the corner just in time to see Bryce running the other direction and there is a pan lying on the floor next to Britton. I run over to him, pick him up and notice three very large red marks on his head! Bryce beat him on the head with a pan!!!
I was so upset. I was more upset with myself than anything.. Last week a child lock broke on the handle to the cabinet and look what happens!!
I called the doc and she said to take him to the ER because he is so young and his soft spot is still in place. He threw up a few times but they said it was probably because he was so upset.
The didn't do a CAT Scan or anything--the looked him over and said he was fine. But, being a mother I'm still nervous about it. I'm watching him like a hawk. I'm about to go into his room and check on him before I go to bed.
I hope this is the last ER trip for a very long time!
Thank you Lord for allowing him to be okay.

Birthday party drama
Bryce had his first kid birthday party on Saturday. Two little girls from church, ReAnna and Emma had a birthday party at a jumping place. It was a cute idea taking Bryce to his first birthday party! The party iteself was a hit. They had these huge blow up jumping things--there were so many kids there!
I could hardly get his shoes off because he was tearing away from me to join the fun. The only downside was that he's a bit too little to just let go and be on his way. It was bound to happen. Bryce got knocked in the face by another child and there you have it---his first bloody nose!
I wish I would have had a camera. Thank goodness Victor was there beause I was a little overwhelmed by it all.
Did Bryce care about the pain of his nose? Nope..not one bit. He wanted to get right back out there and after we cleaned him up we decided to let him join the festivities again. 10 minutes later--the bloody nose was back. His time was up. As angry as he was, other parents probably wouldn't appreciate my child dripping blood all over the play area. I know I wouldn't have..
Anyhow, after cake and presents it was time to call it quits. I was worn out and I didn't even do anything! It was a fun time--Bryce slept well that night because he was so worn out!

So many things going on
Hello All.
It's been a while since my last post...sorry. Many things are going on. Let's start with Bryce. He is growing so big!! He talks in sentences!! Yes you heard me...sentences! His first sentence was, "Momma, I boke (broke) it!" It was precious. He's advancing at an alarming rate and I am just not ready for him to be a big boy yet! He says, "moon", "mammal" (apple), "koo-el" (school), "gape" (grape), "cokra" (okra), "luh-u" (love you), "I saw-e" ( I sorry), "Yeah-pam" (yes mam) and so many other adorable things. It's so cute to hear try to have an entire conversation with me his language! I love it!
Then there's little Mr. Britton. He's a big boy too! He's 5 and 1/2 months now and he can smile, laugh, coo, roll over and even scoot! And this past week we started cereal! Big boy food.. it was a little rough at the beginning. But, he's getting the hang of it! He makes the biggest mess but it's okay.
But as of right now, Bryce is laying in his bed crying and I am waiting for the on-call doctor to call back...they take forever. He has something wrong with his eyes. I think it's an infection and I have no idea where he got it. A little girl in his Sunday school class had it a few weeks ago but I'm pretty sure she was clear of it before she came back to church. Anyhow, it's like mucus in his eyes. He can hardly open them. It wasn't that bad when he went to bed but he woke up crying and it's so bad he cannot open his eyes.. I feel so bad for him. I wanted to take him to the ER but dad says I should just wait until morning. My response is that he isn't sleeping because he is miserable so thus we won't sleep much because it's highly likely he'll keep us (me) up. And I don't want him to suffer all night long and be in pain. But as I type this, dad is already back sound asleep as only a father could do!! Thank goodness for mother's!!
I must go now and await the call of whichever doctor that calls us back. Maybe they can call him in a perscriptoin. Just pray that none of us, especially Brit gets this.

The Lion....
Well it's the morning already--I've been sitting at the computer for two hours. In the background I can hear a combination of two things: first, my husband is lying in bed two feet away SNORING and second, my sweet baby Britton is on the baby monitor 2 inches away and I can hear him snoring as well! So cute.. but obviously one is cuter than the other--guess which one (sorry honey)?
Anyhow, I read the blogs of many people and there is one that I am always touched by. Please take the time to read it--go back to the beginning when they first started the blog. I can guarantee that you will blessed by this family's story. I know I have been--I feel like I'm apart of their family! They don't even know me but I know them through a friend of a friend of a friend--they have blessed my life without knowing.
Their story is awesome--read it, think on it, and most importantly, pray for Kyle. He is a strong Lion.
