The Joys of Having Boys

Filed Under: Family Tagged With: carsyn, dustyn

This weekend we noticed a lot of water beside our house. Kenny called his dad {who is a plumber. thank goodness} and he came down to look at it. There was a busted pipe going into the house from the well. So he fixed it. We were all outside while he was working on it. Dustyn decided he wanted to get his monster truck and play in the water. Who am I to tell this little boy that he is not allowed to get dirty?

He had a blast playing in the water and mud.

He definitely needed a good bath after this. By the way these were taking with my Point and Shoot. Didn’t want to chance getting my nice camera muddy.

Here is a little video of him crawling around in it. he he…
Carsyn had his 4 month appointment today. He weighed 15lbs 1oz {50th percentile} and is 24 1/4 inches long {25th percentile}. The doctor said everything looks great. Thankfully his head is growing at a good pace {still only in the 10th percentile for this}. They were afraid that it wasn’t growing right. So that is a relief. He had his shots today and if you can believe it he didn’t even cry. He made a little pouty lip then stopped as soon as I picked him up. Hoping he sleeps good tonight.

Annie has been struggling lately with feeling angry. I’m hoping this will help and we can figure out how to best help her when she is upset. The books are super cute and have affirmations at the end.
