Deacon had his 18 month doctors appoint today, just a couple of weeks late. He had grown 3 inches since his last visit 3 months ago bringing him to 34 inches (95%). He had only gained 1 lb putting him at 23 lbs 6 oz. The doctor said at lease he is going up but would like to see him gain more. He is usually a fairly good eater, but he is constantly on the go so he burns everything off BEFORE he eats it.

Before we took Uncle Landon to the airport Deacon played outside with him one last time and he HAD to sport these very cool sunglasses.








I'm not sure who was more upset that Landon was leaving...Landon or Deacon. When Landon told him bye at the airport Deacon threw a bit fit. Landon seemed to handle it well but I am sure he threw a little fit in the airport, ha!

When we got home I had to catch up on some much needed cleaning and of course I had a little helper.


He helped wash windows,


then his tool bench


and finally his car. Hopefully, he will clean my car tomorrow, ha!


Sometimes I wonder how I ever cleaned the house or did laundry without his help.

Today Deacon had his friend Reed over this afternoon after Mother's Day Out.

The boys had so much fun playing together. They played so hard they needed a snack.

Deacon wanted whatever snack Reed had, so I did what any mommy would do and tricked him into thinking they were the same.


AFter snack time we went for a walk. Deacon, Reed and Maggie were all very excited to get outside.


I realized with Reed here just how big Deacon is getting. He is getting to be such a big boy. He is totally losing the baby in him and is now a little boy. It is kinda sad to me. I wish I could keep him this age forever. He is so much fun right now.

It looks like the rest of our night will be filled of watching the radar. Stormy weather...YUCK!

I have wanted to get Lasik since my mom had it done 10 years ago, but being that no doctor would give me Lasik at the age of 16 I was out of luck. For the last few years I have really been wanting it but because of several reasons I couldn't. But today I went for a consultation!

They told me to expect to be there 2-3 hours and I was there for almost 3 hours. Everything imaginable and even beyond my imagination was done to my eyes. First I had an eye test (you know reading the little eye chart) without my galsses on. Oh, and I should note I have been wearing glasses for the past 10 days...I hate wearing my glasses. Anyway back to the eye exam, I take off my glasses and the nurse asks me to read the chart...probem #1 I can' see it. I tell here all I see is a big white blog. So she says, okay how many fingers am I holding up...problem #2 I can't see your hand. Then she proceeds to tell me that I have very bad eye sight. I laughed, because I really wanted to say...thanks for info. At that point I thought, oh no, my eyes are too bad to be a candidate. After a few more eye tests on machines, I headed to get a CAT scan of my eyes. I didn't even know there was such a thing. Then I was told they were going to take measurements of my eyes that would determine the settings for the surgery. For some reason this made me extremly nervous. After this I finally got to see the doctor. He did more testing and told me that I have dry eyes. Who would have known?

Thanks to that I had to do a tear test, seriously uncomfortable. They rubbed a q-tip with something on it inside my bottom eye lid, then place these little tabs in your eye that hang out and measure how many tears you make. Thankfully this didn't last too teribbly long.

He did informed me that there was an issue with my left eye and I needed to be out of my contacts a little bit longer for more accurate measurements. So, next Thursday afternoon I will go in for my surgery! I am very excited at the thought of not having to wear contacts or glasses! I have already worn my contacts for the last time a couple of weeks ago. That is so strange for me to be saying this since I have had contacts for 15 years.

For those of you who have are awaiting to hear my review on this doctor, I will let you know sometime after next Friday. After the surgery, I can't use my phone, computer or watch TV for a day.

On another note, after I got done at the doctor today Deacon, Landon and I made a last minute decision to go play on the tubes. Deacon showed Uncle Landon how fun it was to climb up to the top and go down the slide. Deacon even went down the slide all by himself!

Landon is here visiting this week and Deacon is having a ball with him. Deacon stayed with Landon while we went to small group last night and even though I tried to give Landon tips, but he didn't want any. Nonetheless, when we got home, Deacon had been bathed and put to bed!

Today we soaked up the beautiful weather.


We played outside and once again Deacon had lots of fun playing with Uncle Landon.




One way to this boys heart is to let him play with your cell phone.

I am terrible at keeping all of my recipes together so I decided to make a recipe blog to keep them all together and to share some of my favorites with friends and family, you can check it out here.

I am always asked for the recipe for these soft chocolate chip cookies so that is why I started with that recipe. I also started with that one because it is wrote on a little notecard and I know that I am going lose it one day.

I am always looking for new recipes so if you have a one that you would like to share please do.
