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.

Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropical Root check on my Thai Constellation from @tropicalplantsusa. I got it just after Valentine’s Day. I think it is time for a repot. I’m going to wait for the new leaf to harden up and then repot it. I have been super happy with the quality.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.
