::School FUN::

The last two days at school Brant has been having a blast. Not to mention he is talking up a storm...he is starting to piece together a few words to try and form sentences. So excited. WORDS! WORDS! WORDS!

Here are two pictures you just have to see!

::It's Broke::

Today while playing outside, Brant and I discovered a frog. He was hurt, and at first that what Brant was saying. "He hurt. He hurt." So I went and got him some water to see if it might put some life back in him. There wasn't anything noticeably wrong with him, so I thought maybe he was just dehydrated or something...what do I know about frogs? So as we got him some water I went to get the camera. When I started videoing...Brant changed his story to, "It broke." I thought that was the cutest thing ever. He was very concerned for the frog, and sadly I say that the frog is now dead...but Brant made me move him, "there" and to the "bush" about a dozen times. What an adventure we had this afternoon.

Here is a clip...Enjoy.

::Lauren Walking::

WAHOO!

::Off The Payroll...Sort Of::

Well, I am back from a weekend in Lynchburg, VA watching my little sister graduate from college. It was such a sweet time of family and the focus being on her...and baby hardman. We all had a great time and I wanted to post some pictures and a video for all to see. Lauren is home for a while, which I am ESPECIALLY thankful for, and make it a point to see her in case she ends up going to D.C. and follow her heart. (Why she has to do that I'll never know...JK)

What a great family picture...minus Brandon and Brant who would have been bored out of their minds.

Love the School of Religion...and all 1 million graduates!

Lala and Pat Pat...as they are known to my little one.

The ones who made it possible for this INCREDIBLE day to happen!

::The Video::

::Big Boy Bed::

So, I know it has been a little while, and I apologize. I do post as often as I find time between work, cooking, cleaning, being a mom....oh how quickly life changes!

This past weekend was spent at home...Brant at MiMi and PawPaw's. Brandon and I got lots accomplished and that's where the story begins. As I was deep cleaning, sort of...and Brandon was cutting the grass in the rain, I decided that it was time to go ahead and change Brant's crib into a toddler bed since I was moving it to vaccum. I decided to be "resourceful" as I called it, and do it on my own. Without instructions, and without Brandon's opinion...I began. This was not so complicated...take off the front panel, put on the wood slat to keep the mattress from sliding. I could handle it. Well, after using my little wrench for a good while on my own I called in reinforcements. Brandon came in, assessed the situation, and determined that we did not have the proper screws to secure the new slat. Frustrated and impatient as I was, I said fine. He said, "so put the other back on?" I said, "I'll handle it."

Looking back I am not sure Brandon feels that my way of handling it was best. But my decision was to go ahead and take the rest of the crib apart, put the full matress for his future bed on the floor, and go from there. Needless to say...this is a jump without any type of warning for Brant. I will say that it is going fair. We had two great nights this weekend, due to the fact he was exhausted. However, last night he put up a fight. I think he slept by the door the entire night...he and Porter must have had a chat about it on Saturday. But, we are sticking to it and I am sure that I will report in no time he is a full fledge BIG BOY minus using the potty!

Here is a pic of him on Monday morning when I went to wake him up...priceless.

Also, Brant has had a few accidents since I posted last. He fell and hit his head on the coffee table, and then he went to Nanny's and hit her table and got a black eye. I don't have a pic of both, because I blew it, but I do have one of the first injury.

Here it is...

Look for a video later on...its of our "Little Tiger Woods!" I'll post it as soon as it uploads.

Love to all!
