There is a bit of a mix up in this house. Levi thinks that he is six and Bruce acts like he is two! I would much rather them act and be like their own ages!!! Levi argued with Nana about this over the phone. She said, "How old are you?" he replies with, "6". She says, "you aren't six, if you are six, why aren't you in school like bubba?" and he comes up with, "I home school".... Haha. Bruce, however, doesn't act the cute and funny parts of two, he acts like the "terrible" part of the twos. I will say though, he is getting much better lately. I just remind him to act almost 7, not almost 3.
Bruce is suprising me with his drawing skills! The aren't the most clear pictures, but he draws very creatively and really shows the scene that he has in mind... He very much reminds me of me. He used to not remind me of myself too much, but the older he is getting, I am being reminded of the good and bad things from when I was a kid. He is nosy, and I too was very nosy. He is very creative with story telling, people think that he is telling a real story! He loves cucumbers (both boys do) and that was and is my favorite summer time veggie to eat! Bruce also is like dad too! He uses silly excuses to try to get out of chores! ;)
Levi is growing too quickly! He is only 7 inches shorter than Bruce and 14 pounds lighter, yet there is a 4 year age difference! He brushes his teeth about 5 times a day on the average day, and he washes his hands consistently too. His pictures of people really look great and his coloring is very well for his age, but he usually uses just one color per coloring page. He already has some mad arguing skills. I have no clue where or who he got that from! ;) And he blames other people for things, because he thinks it is funny. For example, "Levi, why did you mess in your pull up?" "Not Levi, daddy"! Um, I wish it was daddy, but he is a bit far for that... hahaha. And he always says it with a smile and a laugh, then says, "No, not daddy, me".
My hands are definitly full! I do feel like I have two of the same age a lot of the times, because Levi wants to be just like Bruce and they do a lot of things similar... I love being a mother though, and I wouldn't change it for anything else in the entire world! We are trully blessed!
I would update on Matthew, but since he is deployed, I will wait to update on how he is and what he is up to until he is home.
God Bless!

A topsy-turvy sort of month
I have been MIA this month in the blogging world. I actually love to write and blog and get it all out... However, I am not even sure if my words are read, I don't mind though, I like to look back regardless! This month has been very up and down as far as good and bad days, good and bad news and everything in between!
I found out this month that I will have to have surgery in December, which I am happy about, but also very nervous and anxious about too. First thing, I have no clue when Matt will be home and if he will be able to be here for me and the boys during that time. Secondly, he was going to be here for sure, on advon, but something bad happened (not to him) and he can no longer leave early. I was upset at first, but I know that everything happens for a reason, and that just because he won't be here for sure on time, doesn't mean he won't still be here either way. Another reason I am nervous is because the last time I was put under for surgery, I was 7, for my tonsils. Also, it will be just days before Christmas... I don't want it ruined for anybody, so I hope and pray it goes down without a hitch.
Halloween is Monday. Another holiday that Matt will miss this year. So far, he has missed our anniversary (that's the day he deployed, father's day, his 28th birthday, both Memorial day and Labor day, the Fourth of July and soon to be Halloween and Thanksgiving. It could be much worse, so on holidays, we still celebrate them the same way we would if Matt was here so it is almost like he is here still anyway. We just feel bad that he misses out and still works and such while we can celebrate.
Christmas present shopping began in September! We will have the shopping done by Thanksgiving, so December can be used to relax before my surgery, get the house together and bake lots of goodies!
I just wanted to update on me, I will update on the kiddos and the husband later!
God Bless

My Doctor Appointment
Yesterday I finally got to go back to my off-post Doctor. I had wished that they would have referred me back off post a month ago when I was in, but things happen for a reason. If they would have done that, I would have most likely had the surgery this month or next. I am glad we are doing it, nervous, but glad. I will have the surgery on December 19. Which means that it will be easier to deal with because I won't have to worry about bed times, going to the bus or waking up too early while I recover. Bruce will be on Christmas break for it!
I am really nervous to be put under and have a tube down my throat, but I know that in the end, things will be fine and hopefully we figure out what the next step will be after this. This is possibly only my first of a few surgeries, but we won't know for sure.
God is watching over me, Matthew and the boys. I know we will all be alright.
God Bless

Morning time
Here at our house during the week, when Matt is home, the adults are awake between 5:00 and 5:30 am. The kids are awake between 6:30 and 7:15. We are early risers, and I love having time to myself before the kids are up; to shower and get dressed without hearing, "are you done yet" or "open up, I need to talk to you momma" (but all they "needed" to say was hi or I love you). I love seeing the sun rise, hearing birds chirp (when they do chirp here), seeing the dew on the lawn and the frost too in the winter. I love watching the news and drinking coffee and just having peace and quiet for a few minutes.
But, I especially love being awake and hearing "Good morning mommy" followed by 2 hugs (one from each boy) and then I ask them how they slept and they good! That is what I enjoy every morning, I am wide awake and love being able to enjoy the peace and quiet so I can equally enjoy the precious morning moments that the boys give me!
God Bless!
