My Boys!!

Maddox you are now 3.5 years old! 

You are a sweet boy!  You are getting better everyday about playing and being kind to Ryder.  You are a great big brother!!  I know you will always look out for Ryder and I know he will always look up to you!

You are very smart and you love going to school!  You are currently learning to write your letters, learning to sound them out and you are working on your coloring skills of trying to stay in the lines!  Your imagination is HUGE!! You have no problem sitting in the floor and playing with all your trucks and equipment and you are just talking away while you are playing!  In your own little world.  We hear you say Unc Kev a lot….too cute!

You know all the different makes of tractors and can identify them by color.  Your favorite song is Jason Aldean’s Big Green Tractor.  You sing it several times a day! 

You love riding your new tractor, even when it is super cold outside!! You still sleep with your pappy and blanky and Mommy is OK with that b/c I’m not ready for you to give them up yet either. 

You love to lay in bed with us at night to wind down….you have to have your pappy, blanky, chocolate milk and a piece of cheese and you currently love watching Super Why and Sid the Science Kid.  You also like to watch Jake and the Neverland Pirates, Mickey Mouse Club House, and Duck Dynasty!

You shock us everyday with how much you know….you say the cutest things!  You are becoming more and more independent and it does make it a little easier but I also want to cry wondering where that flash of time went that you were a baby and toddler.  You have a sweet heart and I look forward to seeing all the GREAT plans God has for you!

Ryder…oh Ryder….where do I even start with you? 

You will be 19 months on January 16th!  You are a little ham! You are sweet and cuddly yet independent and PURE BOY!!

You think its funny to hit!  But you always follow up with the sweetest hug b/c you know hitting is wrong.

I’m pretty sure all the dents and scratches in our new floors are from you. Instead of throwing balls like Maddox did at your age…you like to throw trucks!!

You are starting to stand your ground with Big Brother!!

You love playing outside!

You are a Mommy’s Boy!! You melt my heart!

You are shy to people at first but you quickly warm up to them.

You mainly love everything that Maddox loves right now!  You kinda skipped all the baby toys and moved right on to trucks and tractors! 

You love to use the sock em boppers!

You sleep thru most of the nights. You currently have been going to bed around 10 and get up at 8.

You love to put on hats of any kind!!! And you are obsessed with putting on shoes!

You have 12 teeth…8 completely in and 4 molars are half way in at this time.

You eat good sometimes and sometimes not.  I would say your favorite food is pasta!

And I have to be completely honest….you are in a bad stage of picking your nose!

You now love to be read to.  Your favorite books are the picture books that you point to what we ask you. 

You also love airplanes right now…and looking at pictures of them!

Your nickname around here is Denise…aka Denise the Menace!  That face is full of mischievousness.

You are a climber!!! Whatever you can climb and stand up on…you do!

You are already learning to use the iphone.  Your favorite app is the Talking Tom Cat! 

You are a mess and keep us laughing.  Me and Daddy are constantly looking at each other and shaking our heads!!

At times, I think you have already hit the terrible twos.  You have learned how to throw a fit!

But, you usually get over it really fast and your right back to your fun little self!!

We have the sweetest, smartest, cutest, most precious boys ever!!

Everywhere we go strangers tell us how handsome you boys are!!  You already make us so proud!!

We Love You Forever….We Like You For Always…As Long As We Are Living…Our Babies You’ll Be!!!
