The Goose Egg....

The pictures show it all. It was an accident but Jaylen basically laid/landed on him as he was going up some stairs & smacked his head on a wooded board. He held his breath, cried for a minute & then wanted down to keep playing. Seriously, this kid is one. tough. cookie!

But it looks awful!!! I'm scared to see what it looks like in the morning....

Right after he hit his head....

Getting redder & bigger...

Bigger than a quarter....

Side profile.....I know, way too many pics but it was the biggest goose egg I've ever seen!

Seriously, that looks SOOOOO bad.

Got his milk & went back to playing...

Such a tough guy....it's pretty bad when I've got a picture folder labeled "Rosson's Ouchies" on my computer. So far the big ouchies are a black eye, this goose egg & the infamous double bite he got from a kid at Chick-fil-A.

I'm just hoping the first ER visit holds off for several more years!

Happy 4th of July & Happy Birthday Max!...

My nephew, Max Stephen Clark, was born on Friday & was named after my dad, Stephen Michael Clark. He is doing great & I love holding that precious boy however, my precious boy does not like me to hold him!

Here is Michael & I with our boys!
Katie & I with sweet Max! She was a rockstar!


Macy & Jaylen holding Max....

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!
I hope everyone enjoys the holiday weekend!

Couldn't love these 3 more!


Can't believe they both smiled at the same time!

Love this sweet girl!

To Grandma's house we go....

Jaylen & Macy went home with Grandpa & Grandma yesterday. They were both so excited to take their little suitcases & ride in Grandma's car. Here they are with my mom all ready to go.

Jaylen loves packing her suitcase but it always only consists of blankets, blankies & her "friends" (stuffed animals).....you know, the important things!

Heading to the car....

Going to have a great time.....

All set with their blankies, "friends", & Tangled playing in the DVD player....

A little play time before they left.....such good friends & cousins!

Rosson wanted in on the action too.....

We played at the mall the other day to beat the heat.....Rosson kept trying to "jump" off this log, pretty cute but can't really jump yet! He was copying big sis.....

Here's Big Sis.....seriously, she looks so grown up in this pic......she's all me when I was 3!

And this is how I find Mr. Rosson a lot during the day. Like I've said before, all boy....all the time!

Now he is going to hate Chick-fil-A....

Rosson was playing in the little car area at the Chick-fil-A playground & got bit TWICE by another little boy about his age. He was bit on the cheek under his eye & then on the forearm. The other side of his face was scratched like the boy grabbed him when he bit him. I heard him screaming & found just the 2 of them in the car so I knew which little boy did it. Rosson looked terrified by the little boy & was about to hyperventilate from everything. The boy's mom apologized to me but that was about it. I was beyond upset, shaking & really wanted to lay into that mom but I didn't cause there was nothing to do about it after the fact. I just left as soon as we could. Poor little guy fell asleep out of exhaustion from it all soon after we got in the car & then slept for 3 hours. He woke up like nothing happened but he just looked like he had been attacked!

Here's the bite that evening after his bath....
And here is the bite on his arm.....

Didn't keep him from having fun outside later that day though!

Sweet boy!

I'm just so thankful that the little boy didn't hurt Rosson's eye or take a chunk out of his face or arm. Thankfully, neither bite broke the skin but there was a clear implant of both upper & lower sets of teeth. Hope we don't go through that again anytime soon!

A little recap....

Here's what we've been up to the past week or so....

At church tonight.....Macy & Jay showed up in matching dresses!
At the mall.....love that smile! He was having a great time!

My little girl is getting so old & so pretty! Love her!

Their friend Cooper!

Lots of getting wet in the backyard.....only way we can survive the heat!

Taking it easy....

In the sandbox....he throws sand (& everything else!) everywhere.....all boy!

In the castle.....

Oh, the belly.....

We went to visit PaPa during wheat harvest........checking out the combine!

Takign a ride with PaPa.....she had to wear her boots!

He wasn't so sure about a ride but wanted to touch all the buttons inside!

Inside the wheat truck.....neither really liked standing in the wheat plus it was HOT & WINDY!

8 years...

I feel like the years go by so much faster now as I get older. It honestly seems just like yesterday that we got married then I blinked & had 2 kids who are growing like weeds & getting older by the minute. We've had tons of fun & have experienced a lot during the last 8 years.....who knows what is in store next but we are ready & excited for it!

I feel extremely blessed by these 3 people & couldn't ask for anything more!

Funder Up!....

Let's Go Funder!

Macy & Jaylen
