Toddlers Best Friend

I love this picture of Bryant in a stare off with Hutch. Bryant really wants the ball out of Hutch's mouth and Hutch is obsessed with this ball. He goes crazy over it and takes it with him all over the yard, he sometimes tries to eat with it in his mouth.

Brief Conversation with Poison Control

I can't remember what day it was this week but we had a little accident with bubbles and I was on the phone with poison control. Let me replay the event for you!

Begin to walk into den and see a greasy hand print on floor

First thought someone spit up

Further investigation finds Bryant covered in bubbles with some running down his face

Grab him run to sink to wash his mouth out

Think "it was only bubbles" check bottle and it states "not for human consumption"

Find phone and was so fumble fingered trying to call poison control could not get it to work

Run outside to see if Val is home, sprint to her house.

Throw Bryant at her and then remembered I have another child, oh crap!

Finally get the phone to work and this is the conversation

PC: Yes this is poison control how can I help you

Me: I have a 17 month old male about 25 pounds who has drank bubbles

PC: What is his name and date of birth

Me: Charles Bryant Johnson III, 3-19-08

PC: Yes and what is your concern

Me: He drank bubbles and the bottle says not for human consumption

PC: Yes mam, how much

Me: Not sure is was an 8oz bottle and it is all gone, some on the floor some on him and pretty sure he swallowed some

PC: How long was he alone ?

Me: I don't know 5 minutes, I am trying to cook......Look lady can he die from swallowing bubbles?

PC: I have never heard of anyone dying from drinking bubbles

Me: That is all I need to know

PC: It is made up of detergent and water, but do you know how many swallows he took

Me: I have no idea

PC: Can you estimate for me

Me: I have not idea, half the bottle

PC: So about how many swallows

Me: Oh my Lord, 15 (I want share what I was thinking b/c it is ugly)

PC: okay mam he will be fine just watch for vomiting and diarrhea, if this begins go to the emergency room.

Back over to Val's and all he had done was a little burping, never affected the child. Scared me to death and the time has come that I can not do anything else while they are awake. All eyes are on them every waking minute and it is wearing me out! Just had to share this funny event with everyone

I am still trying to get this funk off the floor

Still Feels Like Summer

We have been outside as much as possible. Bryant and Lucy Kate will stand at the door and cry to go out so off we go. We love our neighbors and the boys are so good with the babies. They had a long weekend so we got in a lot of playtime together. Bryant loves to ride on Luke's scooter and Lucy Kate is in love with the "Flinstone" car! Val always keeps them entertained with all her stuff. We even got the sprinkler out one afternoon since is was so hot! These pictures below are evidence that I have 3 children, notice Charles trying to fly a kite and when I said I wanted a picture of all the kids on the play gym he jumped right in the picture!

Drum Roll Please

Bryant is walking............well when he wants to. I have never seen anything like it, one day he is so interested and walking around and the next he is back to crawling. He will even hold his legs up and kick and scream so he doesn't have to stand. I did get some video of him walking and he is so proud of himself. With this milestone accomplished physical therapy should come to an end very soon.

He is so proud of himself!!

PlayDate with Colton

We were so excited to spend the afternoon with Colton and Jennifer. They do not live very far but we never have a chance to get together. The babies all have the same schedule so the day worked out perfectly. We played outside, went to the pool, had dinner, and they all jumped in the tub to clean up! Planning to go see them soon and hopefully Mack, Cooper and Landon too.

Welcome Jackson!

I was so excited that I was able to be in Memphis for the early arrival of Jackson Lively. He was born two weeks early and absolutely perfect. This wonderful blessing is so great and really makes you stop and think how amazing God is and all that He provides for us. He is so great that He gives us the opportunity to raise His children. Chris, Ginger, and Warner are blessed and Jackson is so perfect!

Off to College

We moved Emily in the dorms at ASU and we had so much fun. Emily and I are complete opposites and she would have been fine with no curtains, stuff still in boxes, and yuck bedding. She gave in and let us do some cute things! They have hung things on the walls since we moved them in and she still needs a rug. Mom and I will be going back to visit in a few weeks so we will get the last few things needed to make it feel like home.
