Too Funny!!

Too Funny!!!

Well, tonight was some what of a funny sayings night!!

Zachary...."Jesus....me love you, thanks for the rain for the trees and flowers to grow, thanks for ping pong balls, me to be able to run...Jesus I just love you, Amen"

Wow! What we can learn from a sweet little four year olds prayer!

Cody.....driving home in the rain and he says, "Daddy, Daddy how did you make it stop raining for a second?" (We drove under a bridge)

Whoo, we all laughed so hard we cried!

Zachary....(Sickness is every where and Zachary wasn't eating like normal, so as all Mommies do...shhh, I think they all do?....I started posing does your BLANK hurt questions.) "Mommy nothing attached to my whole, WHOLE body hurts!"

Well I was asking specifically about all the "attached" body parts. Head, legs, etc.... Cracks me up!!!

It is so hard to catch Cody saying funny sayings because he is smarter then we seem to be these days. He is so serious and fact oriented. Today we went and visited the Train Museum in Greensboro and they have a video of people walking in the front door in the layout room. Well Cody disappeared and when we looked up he was in the lobby waving and dancing on the TV for us to see. It was absolutely hilarious!!!

The days are long but the years are so short, God bless our short years together~I love my boys to pieces!

Scooters and Fingers

Well....we just returned from our 4th or 5th visit to the emergency room. Cody and Zachary were riding their scooters and ran into each other. Somehow Cody's finger got caught in between the two scooters and a bolt. It took off the end, right side and top of his pinky finger.

Yes, Mommy freaked....I just don't handle these things very well. The X-ray showed no broken bone even though the tip of the bone was right at the point it sheared. They had it looked at by a hand specialist and he saw no tendon, muscle or nail bed issues. The biggest concern is infection.

Any of you that know us are dying to ask.....was Bryan home? Well that is the silliest question ever! Not only was he not home but he is out of town in the Western NC mountains doing fire training. I hope he is enjoying this trip because it might just be his last.... :)

Cody really wants to go to school tomorrow, what a trooper! We will see. He is already upset that he can't put his hand in his pocket, he can't sanitize, he can't get it wet...well then won't it be growing germs, how am I going to write, etc. I am praying that there will be no infection, he will have a fast recovery and that coping will be easier then he thinks.

God gently reminded me that no matter how much we as Mom's want to fix it....God is the Healer. It's easy to forget that our most precious treasures are God's and ultimately He is in control. As I was crying (just getting it out) on the way to the hospital Cody ask, "Mommy what are you crying for...I am just fine!" Mommy's think in fast forward, what will they do, they are going to have to clean it out, what if he needs surgery, what if.....So as I stopped my tears and my reeling brain I said, "Cody we are going to be ok, God will be there for us." And He was........

What am I gonna be?

We were doing our nightly routine when Zachary sits with us for a few minutes before he goes to bed. Well this night daddy was at the fire department, so it was just me and Zachary.

Zachary looks at me and says, "Mom, what am I gonna be when I grow up?"

"Well Zachary you can be whatever you want to when you grow up....you can be a fire fighter, a doctor, an astronaut..." I said as I got cut off.

"Mom, I want to ride that Bullet Train with Cody." Zachary says. (Cody is all the time talking about riding bullet trains when he grows up.)

I told him that was fine and then he says, "Do you think Cody is going to drive the bullet train?"

"Well, probably Zachary because Cody wants to be a train engineer when he grows up."

And Zachary says, "Well then I guess I'll ride beside him."

I thought first that was the cutest thing ever because he would let Cody be exactly what he wants to be and he would settle for just riding beside him and then secondly that he wants to spend the rest of his life with Cody. I pray that God continues to grow them closer to Him and closer to each other as they grow older. Zachary loves his brother, Cody and ask for him all day until he comes home from school.

Thanks God for two precious little boys.
