Where did it go?

Not to sure where April went, I turned around and it was May 1st. April was just a whirl wind and we did a lot of fun and exciting things with friends (new and old) and family. First things first, last night April 30th the boys slept in big boy underwear for the first time ever with out accident. I know I am jinxing myself but how exciting, they just grow up too fast. The boys are enjoying swim class, school, friends, family, parks and the semi nice weather. We spent a lot of April in water, summer seems to have come early in Texas. I wish spring was still here without all the allergies. We also have started a responsibility chart with the boys. Teaching them to put on their own clothes, table manners, sharing and cleaning. IT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS!!! I hope May brings as much activity and fun but pray the boys don't try and test me as they have been in the past. They are truly becoming their own person these days. Enough of me just blabbing, here are some much needed pictures!!

The boys love to swim and love going to swim class. They are doing so well and show us how much they can learn.
But they are still boys....

My boys!!! IM IN LOVE

Bad idea of letting him paint inside. The wind has been crazy so this was my solution... I had to watch him like a hawk.

It's my birthday month!!

So a lot has been going on in my life. The boys are growing up too fast and Brandon has decided he can do anything and everything he wants with no consequences. He is driving me bonkers but then he will walk up to me and say "I love you....so much" and my heart melts! John is always telling me he loves daddy, poor mommy. He is all about dribbling a ball and wanting to play outside when Max and Ruby is not on. I just had knee surgery and am finally feeling like I can get back to helping out around the house. I still have a lot of stiffness but have therapy three times a week to help that out. Speaking of therapy, the boys therapy is just running along great. No big news there. So I thought I would just share some pictures of the boys as of late. Not to much has changed with them but they are still as cute as ever! However, this is AWESOME...

My two Picasso's Aqua Sand, cool stuff

Brandon is such a ham, as you will see in some photos

John on a horse!!! For all of 10 seconds but it was cute

The boys love inflatables, they are able to get around pretty well on their own which makes mommy happy. Brandon took this picture of John Ham...

Bad Blogger

Sorry I have not been blogging about what has been happening with the boys. Life has gotten a little out of control. Nothing I am ready to let the whole world know about but it has been a at the forefront of my life so the blog has been left alone for a bit. I have not taken picture of the boys or videos (i know, bad mommy). I just have been enjoying them without thinking about documenting it. So lets see what they have been up to... school is going great. They love going and have really come out of their shells. 3 years old is such a great age!! Brian and I are really enjoying having conversations with them and see how their little minds work. Yesterday my dad was saying how neat it was to watch John work through things, watching his thought process while Brandon just goes for it without thinking. They are so different but love each other so much. They always want to be with each other but can play alone. Brandon tells John that he loves him!! They are still in therapy and it is going really well. They have a little way to go on speech therapy but you can truly see how much therapy has helped them. This past week was spring break and we didn't do ANYTHING!! I know, its sad but we had fun just hanging out with family and being together. I did have minor surgery on mt knee Wednesday. It has hurt for a long time so I thought this was a good time to do it. It hurts but I am getting better every day. Nana and Jojo have been a great help and I can not thank them enough. The boys got to spend an afternoon with their cousins too and LOVED IT! They have so much fun. Daddy has been amazing as well. He has done everything and I am so impressed yet not because I know how great he is.
So basically life is CRAZY right now and I will try and keep up the blog but life might get in the way a little. The boys are great and I promise to put pictures up soon! Thanks for stopping by
