My big little boy

Is that cute or what!!

Still only one tooth and still slobbering-Double click and see the cuteness

Riding the cow that Matt had bought for Isaiah when he was the little guy.

Might get the feeling

I watched Brennan and Sawyer this morning and on our walk over to our house Brennan informed me that he thinks he is getting the "wii playing feeling." I told him that we needed to eat lunch 1st. While we were eating he said, "Grandma Kathy, I'm thinking about that wii feeling." Sawyer enjoys watching Brennan play and decided he should be helping.

Another good one on Brennan today: We were back at their house, I was giving Sawyer a bottle and Brennan was watching TV when I noticed he was reaching under the TV cabinet. I assumed he was getting a ball that had probably rolled underneath. I soon discovered that instead of getting something, he was depositing the boogers from what he calls the "booger factory" underneath the cabinet rather than going for a tissue. Nice! He was quite pleased with himself.

Wil-Mario

Isaiah had ordered a Mario game from Game Fly for the Wii while he was still here in Indiana, but it didn't come until after he left. In spite of lots of things Wil could/should be doing tonight, he decided to try out that game. This picture was taken when he was just checking it out. It's now almost an hour later and the guy is hooked! Brennan was over earlier playing the other Mario game and it must have gotten him in the mood.

Look Grandma-No training wheels

Brennan is so determined to ride bike without his training wheels. He can go short distances but without someone by his side there would have been many accidents. Matt has found out that helping Brennan on the bike is a good way to get exercise. I wanted to give him a break on Sunday. I went to help him as I had done many times before. However this time Brennan made an unexpected turn to the left and down he went with me falling over the bike. I had sandals on and therefore stubbed my big toe on the bike tearing back my big toenail into the skin. Needless to say, it still hurts.

Change

We are planning to have someone sand down our hardwood flooring and varnish it while we are in AZ. I'm excited about getting it done but moving all the furniture out of the downstairs is a challenge. I had varnished the floor myself when we 1st put it down then tried to redo it 4 years ago. I didn't get it sanded down far enough and it has started to blister .

Lola-Oscar

I heard Melissa, Maury and Isaiah are missing the dogs. I thought I'd give them some pictures to look at. Whenever I'm blogging the dogs are either on my lap or nestled on the floor beside me. It's really hard to work on the computer with them on my lap, licking my face. They are both going to the groomer tomorrow so their hair are shorter for the AZ heat. They also stay cleaner.

Oscar almost too tired to even pose for the picture.

B and the wii

Almost every night that Brennan knows we are at home he asks if he can come play the wii. This week my response is always the same. "You can play until we are ready to watch the Olympics".
Brennan-ok, I will just play 10 minutes. The 10 minutes normally is much longer. Last night when I told him it was almost time to quit and the next time he fell on his Mario game it would be time to watch the Olympics, I wish you could have seen the look on his face. He lost his concentration and almost immediately his guy fell and it was the end!! The look on his face and response was priceless. Wil in the background was doing what Carrie normally has to do, I was trying to do the right thing and be kind and yet firm with him. His jaw and face was clenched, eyes BIG and was he ever disgusted. "I AM NOT QUITTING-NO IT IS NOT TIME FOR THE OLYMPICS!"
As soon as the Olympics came on his eyes lit up and it was, "Oh, I want to watch that. leave it there, they are diving!"

Grandma Polly-82

Today we celebrated my Mom's 82nd birthday. Frank, Anna, Norm, Carol, Al, Rose, Wil and myself took lunch to celebrate her birthday. Mom knew someone was coming but didn't know who. The biggest surprise was that she didn't know that Al and Rose were around.

Missing Isaiah

Brennan's prayer at bedtime- Dear God, help Isaiah to want to come to Indiana real soon because he said he will come when he feels like it.
Last night Brennan told me that he really misses Isaiah so we called him. It was so cute to hear Brennan telling Isaiah that he misses him. I think neither one missed the other for several days but they were soon reminded how much they miss each other.

We are glad that Isaiah is adjusting to all his changes and are very proud of him for standing strong through the hard times.

Corn

Last night after a long walk with Papaw and the dogs Brennan decided he needed to taste some of our 1st corn off the cob. As you can see, he loves it.

When it was time to go home, Matt found him hiding under the Dining room table.

Brennan is really into asking you about your day. Last night and tonight he asked, "so Grandma Kathy, how was you day today." Oh, a little frustrating. "what was frustrating Grandma". Then onto "Papaw, how was your day?"
