Its beach time again--well, off and on!!
Shaney's favorite "goggie"
I have become one of those bloggers...the kind that slack off for a month and every time you check their blog you see the same old post. I apologize and will do better!!
Our lives have been somewhat busy over the last several weeks... with Christian's baseball practices, Youth fundraisers, Youth Temple trips, school activities celebrating Texas**, Ear doctor visits for Christian, yard projects...and I'm sure there's more. Plus, the weather has perked up a bit lately causing for some family beach time...
Today we took Christian to the ENT specialist for the 4th time in the last month...he is still struggling with his tubes. Hopefully, it will slow down. We fitted him for custom earplugs today, which we are hoping will elevate the main issue--moisture in the ears. Then we took the boys to see Alvin & the Chipmunks in the Dollar Theater....Shane was hilarious. Who knew he loved the "bow-wow chicka wow-wow" so much! And their Christmas song...Shane sang right along at the top of his lungs mimicking Alvin. Over- and over throughout the whole movie! We tried to cover his mouth, but he pushed away and rocked on. Watch out American Idol....Shane's the new Idol in the making!!
On the note of cute kiddo moments--- Christian was snuggling me before we put him to bed one night. And he starts up a conversation saying:
C: "Mom, so I get to see you every day of my whole life, right?"
M: "Well...I don't know about every day. When you go on your mission I won't get to see you for 2 years."
C: " Awww...man!!! I wish I was a girl" (so he wouldn't have to leave for 2 years)
M: " Well, and when you get married, I probably won't see you EVERY day."
C: " Oh...no...I am going to live right by you so I can see you every day.....(long pause)....well, if my wife lets me."
On days like that, I feel I have accomplished all I could ever hope for as a mom...my son wants to be with me forever! I must have done something right to earn that. And on those bad days, which I am sure will come when he's a teenager and I have to tell him no, I will have to remind him how much he wanted to see me every day of his whole life!
** Just as a side note: you know you are not from Texas when....the first dozen times I see a t-shirt that says ATM....I thought it stood for the thing you get cash from....and my Texas friends cringe and explain the all importance of Texas A & M...sorry guys, I'm from SoCal!!

Oh my gosh that adorable story about Christian almost made me cry! Way to go Shawna:) That story made me okay with having a boy:)
Sounds like you guys have been busy! Cute stories about the boys. Take an extra beach trip for us. It is still cold here!!!
ocean city, nj...although I think the maryland one is REALLY close b/c when we were watching tv the last time we were there, most of the coverage was for maryland. we won't be in cali this summer...or ever. j/k we just don't have any more money to fly anywhere, especially this last year of school, when we'll be having to use any travel funds for job and finding a new place to live! besides, we're tired of being the ones paying to see family! WE'RE THE POOR ONES!! okay, that was a really long post.
love ya!
Cute story about Christian wanting to see you everyday! Thanks for the new post :)
It's about time you came back to the land of the living!!! I am gonna remind Christian of his desire to live by Mommy the day he gets married...hilarious!
Too cute. Too cute. Uh... and I'm guessing you've figured out by now that we're probably not coming to your house tonight. And you're probably muttering under your breath (or perhaps even shouting it out loud) "Those SLACKERS!" I'm super sorry. Just not good timing. I'll call (like I should have done ages ago). (I know... I'm a slacker). :)
I wish we had a beach near us-
Okay- about that polyp. oh my! How could he hold still for that? I hope he got some really good treat or McDonalds meal or something as reward? It makes me cringe to think of it... but I am glad that it seems you are getting the ear situation worked out for him..
Also glad to see your new post~
Sounds like a great mother and son relationship.. Cute, save it for when your son is older.
I love seeing Shane, at the beach with a dog. Is it a dog you know, or one that Shane found and wants to take home?
Fun times.
HAPPY EASTER!!
Love,
MOM
