GO ASTROS!

Uncle Brett and Chrissy came to see us last weekend and to see the Cubs play the Astros. Ethan and Will had a blast with them! I think Brett and Chrissy enjoyed their time with the boys too! We had fun at the game. We had the best seats- 2nd row from first base line. Unfortunately the Astros lost! Brett that one was for you! We ordered for the Cubs to win so your trip to see us could be worth wild! HA! Ethan chanted, " GO BERKMAN, GO BERKMAN" almost the entire first inning. I am so glad the couple seating in front of us thought he was cute!

All in all we had fun hanging out together. Plus it was Will's first Astros game! Even if he slept through about a third of it. Least he can say he saw Berkman up close! I was thrilled about that one!

Uncle Brett and Chrissy come back and see us! We love you!

I Finally Made it to the BEACH!!!!

Yahoooooo! We went to the beach! If anyone knows me well, then you know I LOVE the BEACH! But unfortunately I married a man who is not a beach bum! I have been asking to go to the beach for the past 2 summers. Last summer my parents were going to take Ethan and I, but I was put on bed rest for about a month and our plans changed. So this summer (I really think everyone was tired of hearing me complain about not getting to go to the beach) my parents took me! (and the boys too!) David came on the last day to spend with us and then we had to go to New Orleans (David's favorite place) for a day on our way back home!

Anyway we had a blast! Will loved the sand! Even a little too much. He ate it! We had to watch him closely, but he probably consumed a pretty good amount. Ethan had to warm up to the idea of the sand, but soon it didn't bother him. Since we found him rolling around in it one day! Ethan liked the ocean, but only viewing it from the arms of his Mommy, Pops, or Daddy. Daddy was the favorite because he was high (says Ethan)! His favorite spot was the pool. He was jumping into the pool by the end of our trip! David enjoyed his one and only day at the beach playing with his boys in the sand, but was thankful he only had to for ONE day. Me on the other hand loved the sand in my toes, the salt on my lips, the sun in my face, and listening to the waves! I soaked it all in! But I do have to say a trip to the beach is much different with 2 babies than when you are 17; and the only thing you have to worry about is the tan you are going to get and the magazine article you can't wait to read!

I love the pictures of the boys in the sand. If you look closely, Will has it all over his face and a handful in both hands. Ethan's sand picture tells the story of "I'm not to sure about this stuff in between my toes!"

Look What I Can Do!!!!!

Today, Will pulled up all by himself! He has been trying for many weeks to pull up, but just hasn't managed to get both feet under himself. Today, we were in his room putting away laundry and of course Ethan had to get in the laundry basket. I left the room to put something away in Ethan's room, and I heard Ethan screaming, "Mommy! Will did it all by his self!" I ran back into Will's room and saw him standing next to the laundry basket with a huge grin on his face! He looked so proud of himself and so was big brother Ethan!! I love how he sticks out his tongue when he is trying to do something. It is like he is thinking or working so hard! Ethan had to get in the action too! He asked for me to take a picture of Kirby and him. When I downloaded the pictures to my computer during nap time, I had to laugh to myself. Because these pictures truly reflect a day in the life of Me..Kandy Bozeman...Mommy of 2 baby boys! It seems I am always doing laundry- folding or putting away clothes, I always have 2 small baby boys at my feet, Kirby is never far behind and usually in the middle of it all trying to chew on one of the boy's toys, and Ethan ALWAYS has a milk cup in his mouth!

By the way... Will turned 8 months Monday! I can't believe it! He is crawling everywhere and still enjoys eating food! No teeth still, but now we can add pulling up on his own to his baby book!

My Daddy ..... Goliath

One of our favorite things about summer is VBS. Our church puts on a play each year for the children. This year we are learning about King David! Our David (Daddy) loves to be in the play each summer! This year he is Goliath! Which he was thrilled about! Ethan was very proud of his Daddy, but a little worried when the young boy made his Daddy fall with the sling shot! Ethan kept saying, "Why is he not getting up?" Ethan was most impressed with Daddy's big knife (sword)! I love the picture where Ethan is looking at David's shoes! He had custom made platforms!!! Ethan even tried to put them on in the dressing room!

The Messy Eater!!!!

I have never seen any child eat the way Will does! I really am not sure how much he is consuming! He is the hardest child to feed! Will loves to eat, but also loves to take the spoon and eat it, smear the food everywhere, chew on his fingers while he eats, and snort food up his nose. You thought snot was hard to syringe out of a baby's nose try syringing out peas or carrots! I have been asking my mom if this is normal and she would just laugh at me! Well .....she, my aunt, and cousin saw first hand this weekend just how hard it is to feed Will! They were quite entertain! Maybe by his first date he will learn proper table manners! Oh how I hope this is just a phase!

But he sure is cute after a bath!!!!

Popsicles, Visiting Cousins, Baseball Games, and Running Through the Sprinkler EQUALS Summertime!!!!!

Summertime has begun in the Bozeman's household! The Houston HEAT might be the first clue! The second clue would be how we stay in our PJ's and play all day long! The third clue would be that we (Ethan mainly) eat popsicles everyday! Popsicles are Ethan's new found love! He gets to have one or two after nap each day. He tries to eat them for breakfast, but Mommy has not given into that request yet! The fourth clue is that our TV shows are reruns, but we don't care because we get to watch the Astros almost every night! We can't wait to go to Minute Maid park and see them play! The fifth clue is that it is a good thing that we have to water our grass on a daily basis because it is free entertainment for my son! Ethan loves to run through the sprinklers and doesn't seemed to mind that he is fully clothed with tennis shoes and all! The sixth clue would be that we get to visit our family in Louisiana. We went home this weekend to see our family, and Ethan enjoyed playing with his cousin Kameron! For the past two days he has talked about Kameron and told me Kameron can do that Mommy or Kameron said that Mommy!

We love the Lazy Days of Summer!!!

Happy Mother's Day!

For the past 3 years, I have looked forward to this special day and today has been no exception! A sweet voice woke me up this morning saying, "Happy Mother's Day Mommy! I have a present for you!" Ethan was standing next to my bed grinning from ear to ear. We have had such a great day playing and laughing together! I even received my very first homemade mother's day gift today! Ethan painted me a flower using his handprint! David went to get him from his Sunday School class, and I met him in the hallway. He came running down the hallway with his picture in his hand saying, "Happy Mother's Day! I made this for you Mommy!" I really don't know if he understands what those special words mean, but he does know that when he says them I get really excited and my arms open up for him to hug me! It is amazing how emotions and feelings are understood between two humans when the two touch or embrace even when they might not fully comprehend the meaning of the words being said! One day Ethan and William will understand how special it is to me to hear them tell me Happy Mother's Day, and I am so thankful that God has given me that gift on such a wonderful day!

Will can sit up on his own now! Friday night was the very first time he sat up all on his own! I was a little sad for just a moment because I realized how fast he is changing and growing up, but I just love this stage of development! He looks so cute sitting up and smiling! He looks so proud of himself! Will felt grass for the first time this weekend! All he wanted to do was eat it!! He is now eating cereal, and he loves it! Not sure really how much he is consuming because he loves to put his fingers in his mouth while I am trying to feed him and he spreads it all over his face! It is VERY messy, but soooo much fun!!! Ethan did not put his fingers in his mouth so this is new to me!

Hope you enjoy the pictures we took this weekend! Notice there is none of me on mother's day.... I did not like any of the ones we took of me.....so we are going to re-enact next Sunday! HA!!

Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, grandmothers, and aunts who are such special gifts to us all!
