Boys Weekend

Baughboys,

Today Mommy, Aunt Van, Taylor, and Grammy left at about 5:30am to go to Florida to watch Aunt Kim's White Coat Ceremony, and they left us boys here at the house by ourselves. What fun!!! Already today I have gotten my first experience at cooking chocolate chip pancakes....and if I have to say so myself, they looked pretty good. We went swimming, but got ran off by a thunderstorm. You boys decided that you wanted to eat Chic Fil-A for dinner (excellent choice)...so we had chicken and ice cream. Then we decided that we wanted to pop some popcorn the old fashioned way...on the stove. So, we stopped by the store and got some popcorn and oil. We got back home, went swimming again, and then popped the corn. The 3 of you were AMAZED at watching the popcorn pop. It wasn't very good eating it, though, because we didn't get any seasoning for it. But, I think that, all in all, we boys have had an outstanding day....AND we get to do it all again tomorrow!! I love you, boys, and I am so blessed to be your Daddy.

Just because

Most of our other posts come from a special occaison or event in our life and that is why your Dad created this, but tonight I was catching up on my blogs and I looked up on the TV and saw your Daddys bible...and it moved me to tell you boys about how God is growing your Daddy.. Daddy gets up early every day for his drive to work(Atlanta) but, recently has started gettin up @ 5:30 to have some "quiet time" with God....reading his bible and praying. I dont know what he prays about/for or even what he is reading, but I do know this.....I know that He is growing in Gods word, you can see it IN him, I know that when he prays it is for us in some way, I can feel it. I know that God is planting a seed in him, and we will benefit from it. I know that the closer HE grows to Him, the closer WE will grow to Him. Before we had you boys he always would say that he hopes when yall get married that yall will choose him to be your best-man, and I know that you will.....cause in your lives he will always be your BEST MAN!! I know that each of you will be great Godly men, cause you will be led by one....and even if he sings too much and pops gum to loud....he loves the Lord, you boys and me.

Mother's Day 2009

Boys,
I just want to tell you how blessed that you are to have such a geat Mommy. I have never seen another woman in the world be so selfless. Your Mommy ALWAYS puts you (and me) before herself. She makes sure she you boys want for nothing. From the smallest thing to the biggest. From the hearts that say "I Love You" that she draws on the napkin in your lunchboxes, to the times she whispers to each of you individually "you know that YOU are my favorite, but don't tell your brothers." She makes each of you know that you are loved unconditionally....everyday. She just oozes motherhood and love for you 3 boys, and my prayer for you is that one day you will realize just how fortunate you are. I pray that each of you find wives that are EXACTLY like your mother, and I pray that she makes you as happy as your mother has made me. I love you, boys! Love Daddy.

Game Ball

Today at Jay's baseball game, he was awarded the game ball and got the player of the game award from his coach. He gets a free kids meal from Beef O'Bradys. Jay had been struggling to hit the ball in every game so far. He hits good in practice, but he couldn't carry it over to the game. But, today, he came up to bat for the 2nd time with his team up 4-1 and runners on 1st and 2nd and 2 outs. He took 3 straight balls, then he fouled off a pitch, then he hit a ROCKET to between shortstop and 3rd base. He made it to 1st base, and the runner from 2nd made it home. 1st hit and 1st RBI of the year!!! Great Job, JJ!!

Happy Birthday, Riley!

Happy 5th Birthday, Riley!!
I can not believe that you are 5, it really seems like just yesterday that the Drs. did not even think that you would live, It is not something that a lot of people know....but YOU are truly a miracle baby, when you get older we will tell you the two stories that prove it. As for now I just wanted to take this time to tell you how much you complete our family, you make us LAUGH all the time, you can dance and do just about anything in this world. You may be small in size but you have a huge personality. I am so happy that I decided to keep you at home this last year with me instead of MMO, it truly has bonded us. I can not tell you what it does to my heart when I hear you say that you love me, see you are a Daddys boy from day one and you were slow to warm up to me but, now that you have I melt when you cuddle or snug up with me. you want your Daddy to put you to bed but, you always want a "scratch back" from me....Riley, YOU are the baby that I did Not even know that I wanted.....I thought that our family was done and then the Lord surprised us with you. And as you grow you will see that His plans are Always better then ours. You are proof of that and that no matter what a Dr. says , God can do anything. He has.....in YOU. Im so glad that He choose us to be your parents, I know that you will do great things in this world and no matter how old you get I will ALWAYS give you a "scratch back", I love you~ Mommy
