It is so hard to believe I've lived the past year without my Mom - my best friend. I am so Blessed with supportive friends who have and continue to help me through this. Please pray for my boys as they, of course, are still struggling through this and missing Grammy.

Still in 2017

Our smoke alarm battery was beeping. Kellan was in the middle of a very detailed story and was getting upset over the beeping. He paused, took a calming breath and nicely asked the smoke alarm to quit interrupting him...

We got to bring up the gifts at our wonderful St. Gabriel Parish Mass. (If you are brave, please refer to 1st time Kellan ever brought up the gifts and had a run in with an usher's butt...sigh...).
When we were leaving Mass, Kellan still couldn't get over his excitement. He said, "Mom! I brought up the Jesus food and you brought up the ketchup!"...

Camden asked me why I always wear flip flops in the house. I told him I'm like Grammy - I don't want to walk around barefoot. He pondered and said, "Well she does like Barefoot Wine."...

The boys were talking about Mitzie and Muffie. Camden was bragging about how much Mitzie loved him and he was her favorite. (Luckily she's not here to verify that one). Kellan immediately called that he was Muffie's favorite. This theory started 3 years ago and is still going strong.

Kellan came barreling towards me when I picked them up from their first day of school. When he finally caught his breath he exclaimed, "Mom! There's a Kellan in kindergarten! But don't worry, he has different hair and eyes than I do." I seriously think this kid thought I would get my son confused with Kindergarten Kellan. Good thing they look different and are in different grades!

It was stormy and there was lightning. (a little side here for my Mom to laugh - It was a dark and stormy night). Ok, back to the story. The boys were fascinated with the lightning. Camden was a bit scared, but little future meteorologist Kellan, was in awe. He tooted (go figure), and at the same time an enormous lightening bolt flew through the sky. He looked at me wide eyed and asked if his toot caused that.

Speaking of toots! Camden tooted on my hand and then proceeded to tell me I had to go take a bath in tomato juice...I love my gassy guys!

Camden: My thumb hurts!
Me: What happened?
Camden: I got a cut on it
Me: How'd that happen?
Camden: Ah nature...

A word for word text from Grammy:
I just found out Kellan has a girlfriend name Cee Cee. They sit next to each other in class. Someone asked how his girlfriend was. Kellan said she's not my girlfriend anymore. My ears perked up. I asked Kellan what happened. Camden said they don't sit next to each other anymore because they were talking too much. I said, did you break up with her or did she break up with you. (Because this is very important :)) He said he broke up with her. Well... Now I have to get all the dirty details of course. After what seemed like an hour, he finally told me, GRAMMY! I told her we were BROKEN APART. I said Oh my gosh Kellan! Did you hurt her feelings?! What did she say?! He said she said Okie Dokie!
