Record it?

I am not doing to great at the latter part of this statement.  Let me see if I can catch up since the beginning of February.

The first Friday of the month Bradley had a Pep Rally at school.  They made it into a bid deal and as a stay at home mom I try to make these things.  Turns out a handful of parents were there and Bradley barely even noticed me and his brothers.  He was too busy sitting next to Aaaavvvvaaaa! One out of the two ‘girlfriends’ he has in his class.  Anyways, Gavin loved the Pep Rally and didn't want to go.  When we were leaving he said ‘but we didn't go to Bradley's pepper rally’ and I said ‘yes, we just did, that was it!’ and he said ‘nuh-uh, they didn't have pizza!’ I was laughing realizing he thought I called it pepper rally not just that he was pronouncing it there and he thought it stood for pepperoni rally and it was a pizza party!! You gotta love that kid.  Bradley gota kick out of it too when I told him what he said.

We found this really cool tree at Bradley’s school and now I intend to go back and take more pictures there.  It is so neat and carefree feeling.

Easton showing his teeth for one of the last cute chicklet pictures I have of him.  Now he looks like this….

I don't know how it happened but we took a trip to Granddads this month and as we were leaving on Sunday morning I turned around and saw this. It was not like that on Saturday at bed. It wasn't an emergency since thankfully he is OK so I could only get the earliest dentist appointment for March.  We will see what his dentist says and I hope she can do something like file it a little.  Otherwise, he wont be losing this tooth for another 4 years or more. I was in tears for a day but already I think I have come to terms with it if this is his smile for that long.

Super Bowl Sunday we had Brad’s new boss visit.  Doc Johnson.  He and his wife are the sweetest.  He brought me flowers and the boys cupcakes for each football team. Uncle JJ as the boys call him loved reading to the boys and wrestling with them.  His two sons are all grown up so he welcomed this opportunity.

Mommy and Daddy got to do story time the next night.  No, really, we had no choice.  Did I mention Easton was bossy ever?! He demands you read to him.

One last shot of Bradley’s loose tooth and Easton showing interest in the potty. He is wanting to so I need to break down and stay cooped up for two days and teach him.

Somewhere in there we had some really amazing weather and I saw Gavin and Easton playing quietly behind a tree with sticks and pinecones.

They love their big brother and think its cool he gets to go to school.  They get very upset with me if he leaves and they didn't get a kiss.

Bradley is also in a wrestling club as they are here in NC.  He started last fall and we try to go once or twice a week.  He is still learning all the drills and moves before we enter him into any tournaments.

I really hope one of the boys like this sport as their own.  I really enjoyed growing up around wrestling.  Although, I will say it makes me cringe to see your children get all twisted up!
