My little man!

We are heading to the beach next week and I am packing and trying to clean house and also putting together puzzles, racing with Thomas cars, making lunch... and I realized I would not want to be doing anything else! I find myself many times just sitting down to try to watch tv when I hear a sweet voice say, "Mama, come on! Let's play!" I sit down to the computer to check my e-mail and a hand comes and tugs on me to come and play! I begin to clean the house and I find my helper two steps behind me tugging on my to wrestle! I get overjoyed manytimes when I look into Ezekiel's brown eyes! He is so precious to me!

That Little Boy of Mine:

Two eyes that shine so bright,

Two lips that kiss goodnight.

Two arms that hold me tight.

That litle boy of mine.

No one could every know how much your coming has meant.

Because I love you so, you're something heaven sent.

You're all the world to me.

You climb upon my knee.

To me you'll always be,

That little boy of mine.

Ouch!

Tonight we were outside watering the plants and Ezekiel climbed up on his ladder and fell off! He cut his knee and we thought we might need to have surgery:)! We came in and washed it off and placed liquid bandaid on it! He then had to sit near his Daddy and watch TV- WITH HIS LEG PROP UP ON A PILLOW!!! I am telling you it was major!!! I think we will make it!

Dear Ezekiel!

Dear Ezekiel,

When I found out you were coming I was not sure how to react! I wanted a child but it was not in my timeline! Oh but God knew best! The day you arrived I was overjoyed! You filled my heart with a song that I will sing forever- the love of a mom! I can't even begin to describe the moment I held you and they placed you in my arms!! Wow! There you were- in your beauty and you are so perfect to me!! Even after all of these years (3) you are still perfect! I look at you each day and you have that huge smile on your face that I just want to hold still and stare at forever!!!! You make me laugh how you aggravate Daddy to say that you are a princess because it makes him crazy that you are not saying you are a prince and you just laugh! You are so special to me and I love who you are!!! I will always be glad to be your mommy!
I love you,
Mama!

Mimi, Movies, and Hayes!

We went and got Mimi and Hayes this morning to go to the movies and see Horton Hears a Who! We enjoyed the movies followed by a great lunch at McDonalds where Ezekiel ordered a Happy!!! (This is what he calls his chicken nuggets Happy meal!) Hayes came home with us and we played inside for a little while and went swimming outside!!! We had a great day!

Happy 4th!!!!

We spent our Fourth of July with our friends- THE HARDEES!!!!!!! What a friendship we have found over the last year when we moved into their neighborhood and also joined their Bible Fellowship class!! We went swimming at Trent's mom and dad's for the fourth! We cooked out a ymmu supper- or Trent cooked a yummy supper- and we swam!!! This was Ezekiel's 2nd time swimming this year in the big pool and he did such a great job!! He would jump off the sides into our arms and then we eventually were able to let him go by himself and he swam with his swimmies for the first time!!!!!! WAY TO GO E!!!! We were so proud of him!! He was so tired and fell asleep on the way home to the sound of fireworks in the sky!! Let Freedom Ring!

Aunt Vicki's house!!

Today we enjoyed spending the day with Aunt Vicki and Uncle Dub!! We went to lunch and enjoyed a relaxing afternoon watching Walli and eating supper! We climbed her stairs at least 100 times! It was fun to spend such great time with some of our favorite people!

His ears are perfect!!!

We went last week for our 3 year old check up and Dr. Breavers wanted Ezekiel to go for a hearing test because he was not please with his pronouncing of his words! Oh man! I was upset! Of course the whole time we waited for our appointment I was thinking about how I would react if Ezekiel had a gotten bad news from his test and had to wear hearing aids to help him! My biggest fear was that he would be made fun of and who wants that for their child! We we went today and there are NO problems!! When we found out the results I immediately had tears running down my cheek!! I was so thankful that everything turned out great! Now that I know his ears are fine I think the problem is that he is just a FLYNN!!!! If you have ever been around a FLYNN man before you know that they are quiet and only speak or listen when THEY want to!! What was I thinking? There was no hearing problem just being N like FLYNN!!!!
