Spring Fling

We have been having the most delightful weather since January! The boys have enjoyed playing outside and practicing their skills with various sports almost daily. We know this perfect weather will draw to a close all to soon, and turn unbearably HOT, so we are trying to take advantage of it as much as possible right now. This is the boys this morning just before church! This seems to be the best time to try and capture pictures of them, as they are neatly groomed and fairly willing to oblige in my mad attempts to get perfect pictures of their sweet angelic faces!

Brotherly love....
Bennett had 2 more teeth from the bottom pulled 3/17 adding to his total of teeth pulled from the bottom to 6! He also lost one of his top teeth on his own about 1 week prior and lost another top tooth last night, bringing his grand total to 8 teeth missing. I told him, the tooth fairy was going to go broke with all the teeth his has been loosing and getting pulled. Not to mention, it is very difficult for him to take bites with so few teeth in the front. Non the less, he is still our handsome boy, and I love every chance I can get to hold him in my arms, as I know all to soon, he will feel to big and get in his mama's arms!
Brayden has been doing remarkably well in all areas lately. His teacher raves about how well he is doing at school and what a sweet boy he is. He is such a lover, and demands at least 3 hugs and 3 kisses before you get out of his sight. We cherish all the love he showers us with!
Baylor... My my, he has developed quite the little temper lately. If he gets scolded, he will flop his little body down, and wail on the floor. Where has this come from? He is also signing and copying any and all actions that he can. Several times lately, we have caught him in the food pantry, sitting on the floor and stuffing his fat little cheeks with goldfish and cheese crackers as fast as he can. I also found him with a sucker the other day, too funny!!!
He still loves to get in the toilet and play(ewe gross...). His most favorite thing right now though is to be outside playing ball! When you bring him in, it's a full out melt down and scream fest. I tell you this boy would live outside if I would let him.

I will be having surgery on my right knee, this week Thursday 3/26 for repair of an Articular Cartilage Lesion. Dr. John Brown will perform a Microfracture on the lesion area, by drilling many holes there causing scar tissue to form and allow my bone to track on the scar tissue instead of bone to bone. I would covet all your prayers, as I will be on crutches for the next 6 weeks. UGH.... Please also pray for De the boys nanny as she has some big shoes to fill. She is awesome, and I have full confidence that she will do an amazing job!

What a great update Betsy. The boys are getting so big! What cuties!
I hope your surgery goes well and your recuperation is a speedy one. Will say a prayer for sure!
Enjoy the weather. We are waiting for our spring. We have had a few nice days. More rain on the way for the rest of the week!
