Lucky
Through the eyes of our 4 year old! He loves taking pictures!
"Daddy" by Corbin!
Grayson riding around in the jeep at my parents house! Kinda scary to see my 2 year old driving!
Hoppin' house foam pit! The boys loved it!
In honor of St. Patrick's day I wanted to say how lucky I am to have our family! My family is always there to support me. I have been so incredibly stressed lately that has taken a toll on me physically as well. So this week has been a godsend for relaxing and not having responsibilities. Last night after spending all day with my family and my sis and her girls, who in town for spring break, Grayson and I headed home sans Corbin because he was spending the night with his cousins. It was 9 pm, which we hardly ever let the boys stay up that late but we were having too much fun. Grayson all of sudden starts busting out with
"Jesus loves me!" So adorable and I caught it all on voice memo my phone!

Four years old
NO CLUE WHY BLOGGER doesn't like me ! No clue why everything is underlined!
I cannot believe we have a 4 year old! Our sweet little Corbin decided that last weekend he no longer needed to wear pull-ups to bed and just wear underwear. He keeps saying well I am 4 and four year olds wear underwear to bed! He has had a few accidents and woke up screaming and crying at 5:45 on Saturday morning because I think he woke up freaked out that he was wet. We are loving that he is starting to be so independent and he is super eager to follow the rules. He has started saying 4 year olds listen to their Mommies and Daddies! He really gets heartbroken when he is at school and gets in trouble. He hates the thought of Jason and I getting upset with him for making wrong choices at school. i.e. being hyper, not listening, running around, etc. We talk a lot about what the right choices are at school and at home.

Anyways, this weekend we had a great weekend filled with family and fun. Jason's grandparents were in town and we had his mom and family and Jason's sister, husband and her daughter over. We had a great time eating Chinese food and it was great having 13 people over! On Sunday Corbin decided he wanted to go to Red Robin for his birthday lunch! When I asked him where he wanted to go he said he wanted to go to the place that has the grilled chicken nuggets, hamburgers and the numbers on the children's cups. Amazingly from that I was able to come up with Red Robin because they have the number of ounces you drink in your cup written on the side of the cup.
I cannot believe our sweet little baby is now four! He is such a snuggler and a Momma's boy, which makes me so happy!
We love you with all our hearts Corbin! Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday to my Dad! I love you!

Dentist appointments and more
On Wednesday we went to the dentist. Corbin and I got our teeth cleaned! Corbin did a great job!! He had two dark spots on his back molars that we need to make sure to get. Hopefully we didn't get the curse of super deep grooves in our teeth like our mom. My niece Morgan had three cavites last visit because she has really deep grooves and no amount of brushing can help.
After Grayson saw his big brother in the dentist chair he was very brave and was a champ and Kathy (my step mom in law is a dental hygienist)looked at his teeth. The dentist freaked me out and showed me Grayson's super horrible jet overbite. Wow its bad! As a mommy of whom my first child did not self soothe and] my second sucked his thumb I was grateful. Now I am freaked because he has such a bad overbite. I talked about it with the dentist and he said that if he doesn't stop sucking his thumb he can put a bar on the top of his mouth that won't allow his thumb to go up there and screw up his little mouth!
The boy are starting to be able to allow me to shop/take them places and be a big helpers. Corbi used to run off, scary! Then we would have a huge tantrum about getting in the cart. Before we went to the dentist we had to go to target because Grayson had soaked through his diaper and we needed pants that fit (the ones at daycare were too small). The boys listened to my instructions and stayed with me and walked with me quickly through Target! It was so nice.

Last few months in pictures
(Corbin is in a I HATE taking pictures phase and I won't look at the camera even if you make me! So I take pictures of him where I can get them! He's so silly!)
Jason did Karate over the summer and he won first place in a Kata at his first tournament!
On Grayson's birthday and Thanksgiving, Kylie decided she wanted to come along and hopped in the drivers side and would not get out!
Halloween! 
Love, Love, love that sweet adorable boy!
We went bowling with my Dad and Mother -in-laws company! It was fun to have both my mom and dad and Memaw and Papa Joe with us! The boys LOVED bowling!
The boys had an awesome Christmas! (They are now obsessed with Rescue Heroes and pretend to save people!)
Being Rescue Heroes with our new backpacks!
Thank you Pinterest for this awesome idea! The boys love painting with shaving cream!
Waiting to get my ear tubes!

Grayson gets ear tubes
Last Friday, Grayson got his ear tubes put in. Wow, how did I NOT remember when we took Corbin to get his ear tubes about having to wake up at 3:45 in order to get there by 5:15? Maybe because last time I had just found out I was pregnant with Grayson and was so exhausted from being newly pregnant that I didn't remember. Gosh was it hard to wake up just 45 minutes earlier then my usual work wake up time! It was very emotional for me because he was so upset when they took him back I started crying. To top things off I was already a basket case because my parents are out of town and damnit I just needed my Mom that and the fact that Corbin got sick in the car on the way home on Thursday (totally my fault I didn't have the A/C on bc I was freezing and I think he got overheated! Yes, I know I am not winning any Mother of the year awards over here!! I felt horrible about it! He did have a slight fever after that like 101 but when we took him to Jason's dads house they said the next day he didn't have a fever, siblings were not allowed to come with us to the surgery, just ones in-utero, like Grayson was when Corbin got his ear tubes!!:))
The nurse took Grayson back at 6:30 and by 6:40 they came back and said he was fine! The nurse assured me that when she had taken Grayson back for the surgery after a few seconds Grayson calmed down and snuggled into the nurse. He had to be in recovery for about 10 minutes and when they brought him back he was sleepy but then SUPER SUPER cranky and fussy!! Wow every time Jason got him to stop crying and almost get back to sleep the nurse had to come in and get his vitals! ANNOYING! Other than that everything went well and we were released at like 8 am! Grayson came home and played all day. He was SUPER wobbly though. The nurse warned us that the anestheisa would be in his system for 24 hours and boy was it! He was so wobbly and he kept falling down all day. He said goodbye to the anesthesia the next morning by falling down three stairs! I woke up to the sound of him falling/crying. :( Corbin had woken up and gotten Grayson out of his room to come get us up like they do every weekend!
(We have pictures but it requires effort to put pictures on here and I have been SO lazy with this blog!)

The right thing
Not sure why this entire post is underlined! UGH!
As I stay home with a sick baby today it reminds me once again that we are doing the right thing.
On the 27th of this month our youngest baby will go through the same procedure as his older brother. Something that plagues the Talbott side of my family. (I had ear tubes, my sister Carrie should have had them but wasn't really done in the 70's much, and my dad should have had them and as a result cannot hear high pitched noises because he lost some of his hearing from having repeated ear infections.) He will be getting ear tubes put in just like his older brother.
Poor Grayson has a double ear infection, which makes upset because I should have made his appointment right after seeing our ENT at the end of December. I cannot help but think I caused this ear infection by not acting sooner and only making his appointment to get the tubes put in sooner. Now today I am home with a clingy baby who only wants his Momma to hold him, which I am NOT complaining about!
I am trying to be a better Mommy. I am trying to not let the stresses of life get me so riled up. I went for my annual appointment yesterday and had to up my anxiety meds. It was quite interesting telling my almost 4 year old that no he cannot come to Mommy's appointment, I took half a day off of work and dropped Corbin off at home with Daddy, who was taking care of Gray. When I explained that it was only for girls, lets just say I was very blunt and told him, that no it was not a teeth cleaning and what it really was. I knew he would keep bothering me and crying until I told him why he really couldn't go. He said he wouldn't look! It was kinda funny. We are going for a teeth cleaning in a couple of weeks with my step mom in law and he thought I was going to the dentist.
Along with being a better mommy I am trying to feed my kids things without preservatives. Last night made homemade "goldfish" crackers. Jason and Corbin loved the homemade crackers. I have also started making homemade vanilla yogurt in my yogurt maker. The boys and Jason totally love it and its super easy! There is far less sugar and I feel good about serving it to our boys. Its especially delicious with my homemade granola!
