Where did July go?

Nini's new car. I know where Wyatt gets his love for cars.. the Doss side! It is in his blood.
Bug thinking she is pretty cute driving this car!

Silly glasses... Ms. Elias sent these for the kids and they had a good time yesterday playing with them! Thank goodness there was a green pair.. Wyatt's favorite color and everything has to be GREEN!

Wearing Daddy's boots. They love trying on our shoes, especially daddy's boots.
EJ throwing a fit when Zach tries to take them away from her. He had the boot in his hand and he was hanging, not going to give up!


This month has been a tough month for me as a mom. The kids are growing up so fast. It is hard to see my baby become a toddler and realize I will never get that back. She has come out of her shell and her personality is strong! She is so much like her Daddy, very passionate, easy going, busy, but boy is she stubborn! I think she is hitting her terrible two's early and Wyatt is really testing the three's all at the same time! As an only child, the fighting and arguing is so foreign. Zach keeps telling me it is normal but all I wanted was a brother or sister so I cannot understand why they are so ugly to each other sometimes!
I am so thankful for the MDO program this past month. Wyatt and his best buddy Brock were in the same class and they had a ball. Wyatt is so funny when he come home from school, because his imagination is so vivid and the stories he tells are great. Apparently, Brock was talking about a roof leak they had and Wyatt comes home telling me, " Mommy, my room is flooded, water everwhere coming thru my fan and there are sharks in my room, red dragons, and a fox." So serious about it too! EJ went for the first time and did great. She did not cry when I dropped her off, and I have to admit it made me kinda sad. All the other kids would be screaming for their mommies and Bug was happy to get out of the house and have her own thing. She did bite a little boy, which I was mortified about...especially after the first week of being there and getting the "blue" slip. (The blue ship indicates your child bit today) Everyday I would hold my breath and ask, " How did June do today?" Finally, at the end of the month her teachers said she did get a blue slip in her bag... but she was the victim this time! Thank goodness! Aug is going to be rough without MDO!

Zach and I enjoyed a night out last night without children. Skeet and Nini volunteered to keep the kids and we always take up free babysitting! We went out to eat then were really adventurous and headed down the street to The Bar. I honestly have not been out in Midland since Wyatt was born... so three years. It felt like 10! We use to go out I notice all the "old" people at the bar.. now, I am old. Everyone was young, babies... The smoke made us sick walking in so we had to sit outside! All in all, it was nice to get out and about, realizing that I am officially middle aged. What happened?! Zach had is 15 yr reunion last weekend so it is all hitting home. We have been out of college for 10 years! Time flies.
