Whoa...Big Dog

What Beautiful Creatures
Will kept saying dawg dawg Whoa!!!!

He wanted to pet them but mommy said not without back up there

Love this shot. they were so friendly

My cutie -pa- tootie

I had my shoot this morning at Shelby Farms and I had to get there a little early to scope out some spots to shoot so while we were waiting I decided I would take Will out by the horses since that is where we were gonna start. There was a cowboy looking guy out in the field with him and he was rounding them up so horses started coming from everywhere. Will was mesmerized(sp?) he kept saying Whoa Wow dawg dawg. I tried to teach him horse but who am i kidding hes one so i ended up saying yes son its a BIG dawg lol. I may have to do this more often bc he really enjoyed it. Maybe when the days get a little cooler. We may even take Mr. Ed and his family some carrots and apples lol!

Hop on over to Bousson Photography and check out my new work

One Year Pics (ok so 14.5 mth pics)

So this is my teaser from our photo session with Claire (Oh Susanna! Photography). WE had so much fun despite the heat. Will was such a model it was too funny he would just strike a pose and stay there for a few seconds then go into another pose (he wasnt raised in front of a camera or anything) I cant wait to see the rest.

A Great Way to Start the Day

So I have noticed a trend in my posts lately and you know what I am a total poopy pants :( I wouldnt wanna read my blog either lol. And while i was catching up on all things bloggy i ran across this post over at littlemissmommas and made me realize like she says in this post that the little girl really does have it all figured out.
Check it out:

and other than that date night at the redbirds was a blast. I had so much fun. The only sad part is the red hots dont dance anymore. I know I am a total cheese ball but i use to dance for the redbirds for 5 years (2000-2005) and for a while we use to have SO much fun and it was just kinda sad seeing it all disappear. Oh well it was fun none the less and we had great seats I even took my big camera :)

A little Better

Ok so I am feeling a little better. After venting (via blog) this afternoon i had put Will down for a nap and decided to take one myself. When we woke up my neighbor had texted me that her and her daughter were outside playing. So after giving Will dinner (still refused the veggies but ate some mac and cheese and 3 grilled chicken strips) we headed out. The kids had bunches of fun while the mommies chatted. Will even got to experience his first popsicle. He doesnt normally like cold things but i stripped him down ( i know classy right) and let him have at the all fruit pop and he was in heaven. Granted most of the popsicle ended up on the ground and all over his body opposed to his mouth but it really was the cutest thing ever. So I guess dinner was productive. I am going to try more frequent smaller meals tomm we had been doing three meals and snacks but maybe a little more substance more times a day will get him interested. I still have to get the cookbook tom and maybe a food processor to puree veggies? i dunno we will see how things go. I realized earlier i was focusing on things i was insecure about. I mean i know Will eats but i have been worried he doesnt eat enough and then the dr makes that comment and well i guess i started feeling like a bad mom so on top of worrying about mny child i added the worrying if I am good at this to the plate. Well I decided after having such a good end to a not so great day that I just need to put my big girl panties on and deal with it. I am not always going to do everything right and sometimes I may be totally in the wrong I just have to do what is best for my son and not sweat the small stuff (hmm maybe i should read that book) All i can do is try my best and ask for help and focus on what is going right. So here is a little of what Will is up to these days at the ripe age of 15 months:
he has a decent vocabulary with some unexpected words thrown in- he says Momma, Daddy, dog, jude and jake (good attempts atleast), hi, bye, WOW (one of his faves), WHOA (really where did this come from), NO (another fave), I am probably forgetting some. He doesnt talk a lot but it is so funny when these words come out of his mouth. He is often too bust exploring to stop and chit chat.
Like I said above- he is ALWAYS exploring. He took his first steps between 13-14months and he has only perfected his mvmt since then. he is all over the plae and into everything. At times it can be crazy but other times it can be really fun. Like the past week whenever i gate the dogs in the kitchen he knows we are leaving and he heads for the door and he walks himself out to the car (i am right beside him of course) but he loves the independence you can just see it in his eyes.
He climbs on everything we have already had several boo boos which I know will only get worse.
He is using the paci less frequently. It took about a week to teach hime that the paci was used only for bed and the car he now hands it to us when we say give me that paci. He has even recently began to literally give it to me by putting it in my mouth haha too cute
he has also become a little attached to a lovey (his little yellow duck lovey) he isnt toally crazy about it but he wil rub it when he goes to sleep. He has even pulled his silk/fussy blue blanket out from his crib and into whatever room I am in a few times.
He still doesnt sit still much for us to read him a book and normally as I begin a book he runs off with it but its still fun to attempt.
He likes music and he loves to dance. Sometime i will turn to check on him in the carseat and he is just head bobbing right on key. and when he cathces me watching him he just giggles.
On the way home from the lake he expereinced his full bulldog shake. We were told that we couldnt pass bald knob without stopping at the bulldog resturant and getting a shake. we let him have a sip and he went nuts so when I was done with mine I handed him my cup and it entertained him for a good thirty minutes.
I am sure I forgetting so many things but of all the things I could remember I wanted to jot them down. These are the things that make me happy and make me realize its ok to have moments, its all a learning experience.

Today kinda stinks!

Ok so to start the day off I walked into Wills room this am to find a suspected brown recluse hanging out with him :( boo! My brother in law works for terminex (he's not the spray guys but still knows the stuff) so he came by grabbed the plastic bag with the spider in it (for further inspection) and set out traps. And ps I didn't know there were traps for spiders but there are and then this afternoon when I got home there was a 7 legged spider crawling in a circle....hmmmmmmm wonder if the trap got his eighth leg???? I swear I have rarely seen any critters in our house and now 2 in one day! Not to mention my toe is hurting/burning and there appears to be two dots where it hurts so did I really get freaking bit by a spider too???? Ugh! This has kinda left me in a mood. And on top of this was today's was Wills 15 mth check up at the dr.
His stats :
Wt-22.4 lbs
Ht-30.5 in
Hc- 48 cm

We got a clean bill of health but Dr. Hanson said he was tending to trend down in size. Dr Hanson also said this was normal for this age and not to worry but yall know me and well I am already worrying!!!! If he wasn't such a picky eater I'd be fine but he is so crazy with his eating habits that it is starting to stress me out I don't want my poor baby starving!!!! The dr told me about a cookbook that hides veggies in everyday food so I'm gonna run out and get that (actually went to target to get it and had no luck) so hopefully we can nip this in the bud. I know he's fine I guess I'm just thinking longterm here. I guess that's all the reasons for the yucky mood, I hope to be in better spirits soon!

Cant believe I forgot this pic!!!!

Feeling Refreshed!

What else can I say but what a wonderful weekend. I was so sad to come home today, we even thought about staying an extra day but we decided it was best to go ahead and come home (more of the reason later in post). I have not been to the lake in soooo long (before me and Joey got married to be exact) so when our plans fell through to hit up a hotel in MS for the weekend (since we kinda spent that money on new iphones hehe) and our good friends the Bagwells asked if we wanted to head to Heber i quickly said yes and started packing! We headed out early saturday morning (couldve headed out friday night but i didnt get cancelled from work like I was suppose to but oh well no worries) We got to the cabin around lunch time and out on the water we went! I wasnt too worried about Will since he is such a water baby anyways and well wouldnt you know he LOVED the lake. I was a little skeptical of how the whole life jacket situation would go but he never once tried to pull it off or freak out. Napping in it was another story but lets just say he did pretty good with minimal naps. The naps of course only occured when we were cruising across the lake...as soon as we would stop up he would be. We got him in the water a few times. he would scoot off the back of the boat into our arms. I think I was more scared of the lake water than he was (i have this fear about not seeing what is below me...eek!) Saturday we just kind of took it easy seeing that i had been up for 24hr+. I had been up since 10am fri am went to work and then planned on sleeping the whole way to the lake but Will did not sleep like we had planned so my three hr nap turned into about 2 thirty minute naps. I think I did pretty well saturday but by about 8pm i was DONE!!!! Then Sunday we had some real fun. I tried to wake board and lets just say it wasnt to pretty. I am definitely no longer the athletic lady i was in hs/college lol. I would estimate a total intake of about 2-3 gallons of water in each nostril per wipeout (and there were many!) Saturday night we cooked out and then me and Jess headed to the cabing with the kids. Both nights i was out by ten. Today was also a lot of fun too we got out on the lake around ten and met up with all of our other friends who were already out on their boats and all tied up in the water and hung out. I also tried to water ski today. I have only done it one other time and back then (cheerleading days) I got up on the first try. Today...not so much. It took about 5 times but i finally got up for a good 3 seconds lol. Lets just say i realized just how out of shape I am. Muscles i forgot I evenhad are already starting to ache. It really was soooo much fun though. It totally made me want a boat! But before we get a boat we will definitely need a NEW HOUSE seeing that ours almost BURNT DOWN while we were gone. And that is the reason we didnt stay and extra day. SOOOOO my sis house sat for me while we were gone and saturday when she got here she turned the tv on in our room and heard a loud pop. Nothing else happend so she went about her business. Well Sunday when she got to our house she smelled smoke when she went bakc to our bedroom. She called Joey (I guess then is when I was attempting to wakeboard) and he said call the fire dept if you smell smoke. So my sis did and Memphis Fire came and checked everything out. Well from my sisters side of the story they basically thought she was crazy turned off our power and said call mlgw. So my poor sis was stuck with this huge mess. Well apparently MLGW was busy bc they came right away. My sis explained the pop of the tv etc and the mlgw guy decided to investigate. Well he pulled our dresser away from the wall where our tv is and wouldnt you know the surge protector we have there was basically on fire. No flames but smoking like crazy bc it was burning!!! GEEZ can you say CLOSE ONE. I cannot even imagine if something wouldve happened my poor pups were here and well we have built our family in this home. I may hate it at times but it is a roof over our head and i definitely dont want anything to happen to it! So that is what brought us home early but I am kinda glad to be home in my comfy bed with my comfy pillows etc. We just have no tv in our room tonight which kinda stinks. I think that pretty much sums up the weekend so i will leave you now with the fun pics!

Not to thrilled at this particular moment lol

Grumpy Pants

Ok so I am sensing a theme with all of my posts can you tell I am PMS-ing (sorry tmi but im pretty sure no guys read this so oh well!) so It is 0300 and I am at work UGH I should be at home asleep. I was suppose to be cancelled but got overlooked (JOY!) so now i am here and trying to make the best of it. It wouldnt be so bad if I had gotten ANY sleep today but well that didnt happen. I must admit though it is hard to get upset about no sleep when you are playing peek a boo with a one year old. He was the CUTEST pulling the covers over our heads and then yanking them down (it actually makes me smile right now thinking about it) It also wouldnt have been so bad if i didnt walk into to toal crap when i got to work. I must leave work at work though(dont want to get introuble) lets just say it didnt make me any happier about being there. I dont know what upset me more, that I actually almost called at 5 when i wasnt called to see what was up ( had i done this I wouldve probably been cancelled bc they wouldve realized it was MY turn) ot the fact that i got over it bc its not like we wouldve gone to the lake early oh but wait our friends did end up leaving last night so we couldve gotten to the lake a WHOLE DAY early. GEEZ!!! But to put it into a postive perspective (see im trying) taking pto tonight would have messed up the florida vacay pto and we are saving money by not paying for the hotel tonight oh and well the cheesy saying that everything happens for a reason (yes I am a firm believer of this even if i do still whine). So it look like we will just have to head out tomm as soon as i got home. Atlesat Joey will be well rested and maybe will will go back to sleep??? We shall see. on the other hand I am hoping that i will be able to sleep in the car (not an easy task for me) But atleat the trip is only 3-4 hours so we will be there before we know it and we will have fun until we come back on mon. I am looking forward to taking great pics and spending fun tim on the boat. this will be the first trip of the summer (not to mention the first trip to the lake in a LONG time AND Wills first. I hope he enjoys it :) Pics to come but for now got to get back to work!

Think Happy Thoughts....

Happy thoughts! (so is anyone else singing Yo Gabba Gabba in their head now lol. So after my rants of a mad woman earlier today I thought I would make a "Happy" post. So my day got lots better after I let it all go. I took Will to meet up with some FTM/MOB friends today at story time at Davis Kidd. No pics I was to busy chasing little man around but he did so well( considering his attention span is teeny tiny) After singing fun songs and listening to the lady read a book (couldnt even tell you the name) we headed to lunch at Holiday ham, then we headed home, Will took a LONG nap and i got to finishing my bib/bloomer project for a friend of mine whose twins have their first birthday this weekend. I will have to post a pic they turned out sooo good! After I finished those we headed out to Bartlett to go to a scentsy party that my sis in law had. OMG I was in heaven I LOVE smell good stuff but since having a child i hate using real candles bc i dont want to burn the kid or the house down sooo scentsy was right up my alley. They have the cutest canisters if thats what you would call it that holds wax cubes that are melted by a light bulb so it doesnt get hot enough to burn or catch fire to anything. You could literally put your finger in the was so if curious fingers did get to close it is completely safe. so obviously i was in! check it out

scentsy.com ( if anybody wants to order let me know my sis in laws party is open till wed)

I bought the plantation warmer (what i called canister above) and then 3 scents -Vanilla Suede (which smell like coco madamoiselle (sp?) perfume), Ocean and thunderstorm. I cannot wait to get them and test them out!

More happy thoughts Will just amazes me everyday I put him in his life jacket today and he just trotted around the house in it I cnat wait to see him on the boat he wont know what to think. He also blew mommy lots of kisses today when we were just hanging out in the living room. He makes me smile so much. Its hard to have a bad day when he is so happy (unlike when he is unhappy hehe if babys not happy no ones happy HA) I plan to take more pictures soon. I kinda went on a camera break this week (see previous post)I am looking forward to our mini vacay this weekend i need a getaway.

So to recap the 5 best things about today were:
1. I got real kisses and air kissed today.
2. we spent time with friends singing songs and reading books then eating
3. I got to buy yummy smell good stuff
4. I finished my bib/bloomer project and was happy with tthe results
5. Im alive and breathing :)

The Good the Bad and The Ugly

Ok so i have a lot on my mind and well i debated on wether or not to blog about it and then i figured this is what my blog is for so here goes. I am feeling overwhelmed with my photography ventures right now! I am even debating on calling it quits all together. From the beginning it was strictly something I loved and then friends began to enjoy my work and then I was asked to photo friends babies etc and well as you can see the rest in sorta history. I have really enjoyed getting to meet new people and share what people call "my talent" with others and everything that being a photographer has to offer.....UNTIL this week! So not once but twice this week i have been made to feel like my best isnt good enough. Not as in my finished product but just with scheduling. I understand that I am not a professional photographer (i have NEVER claimed to be) but that doesnt mean i dont have a life! I mean if I were to call up a photographer today to schedule an appontment i would be lucky if it was in the same month let alone the same week BUT apparently i am suppose to make that happen. I dont think people understand i have a 15 month old child at home and no form of childcare. As it is now i do shoots when i get off work on sat and mon mornings (mind you i have just worked 12 hours overnight) along with trying ot find people to watch Will so i can do shoots during the week so I am sorry if you call on friday and i cant get you in by the next tuesday. UGH I just want to SCREAM!!!!!!! Ok so after getting that all out i am feeling a little better. I know quitting what i love to do would be stupid so i doubt i will take it to that extreme but i do think I am about to make some changes. I dont do it for a profit the little i do charge basically goes right back into the equipment. So i guess this post was to get some suggestions from my friends out there. I am thinking about doing 3 shoots a week thats it! I could let Will go to an extra day at MDO. Trying to do shoots everyday makes me feel like I am always away from Will so this would make it only one day not 7 haha! I am also thinking about booking 2 weeks out so i dont run into this stress of not being accomodating enough. Does that seem reasonable? I want peoples honest opinion. I love taking pictures and i dont want to stop but the madness has to end and this is the only way i can think to fix the problem. SOOOOO if anyone even read this thank you for taking the time to let me vent and please leave me any suggestions. This is all new to me and I just want to keep my sanity! On the GOOD note i did have lots of GREAT shoots last week and I cant wait to edit the pics bc they are gonna be awesome!!!!

Whirlwind of a weekend

So I know it is Monday (well its 1157pm monday so in three minutes it will be tuesday but i am still on weekend time lol. Like every wekeend this one went by way too fast. I worked friday night then had a shoot sat am. Then I came home to nap and after Joey got home hung with the family and then went to have our family photo/one year pics done by Claire with Oh Susanna Phtoography. She is an awesome photographer and I cant wait to see the pics. And might I add Will was being a total HAM! I dont think I have ever seen him pose for me the way he was posing for her! He was too cute and bless his heart he probably got a little warmer than i needed to let him but he was having so much fun ( i promise you can ask Claire i was not Nazi mom he really wouldve played outside all day had i let him lol) And since all i had was a cherry limeade i of course let hime have some and he loved it (just like his momma and daddy). After our pics we head over to Bartlett to celebrate the Goulds boys bday with some wonderful food and friends. Wills girlfriend Adelyn was there so they had lots of fun, BUT we forgot his paci and he only had one nap so we ended up leaving a little early (pre meltdown) I love the mommy instinct I now have bc we i get a hunch its about to be bad it ususally is hehe. I only slept about 2 hrs after work sat am so as soon as we got home i was out im pretty sure i was asleep before 10 which has not happened in i cant tell you when! Then on Sunday we went to church and the ate at Newks with the Bagwells. I then went home and proceeded to SLEEP all afternoon (only bc i had to work sunday night) and its a good thing i did get all that sleep bc it was the longest slowest night ever! And then this morning our unit flooded somewhat on our fourth floor so we had to play musical babies. I stayed late to help bc it was a little crazy so i didnt get home till almost 9 eek. I was super tired but planning to get a pedi with my neighbor Emily so i decided to rest my eyes for just a minute...that lasted 2 hours luckily i woke up with enough time to spare ( Will was at MDO) so we got pedis and then had lunch and it was soooo yummy then we just spent the afternoon shopping. Now for the rest of the week i have to CLEAN the house, PACK for the lake this weekend woo hoo, SEW some bday stuff for my friends twins who are having their first bday this weekend and last but not least EDIT pics which I have coming out of my ears ( all prayers welcome that i finish these tasks and still have some sanity by the end of the week) There are also lots of fun activities taking place with all our friends this week too so i am hoping we can meet up for some of those as well :) But for me I am about to go to bed I am SUPER tired so goodnight blog world maybe you will hear back from me before next week but i wouldnt hold your breath :)

The Dreaded Molars

I was so excited about my previous post that I almost forgot to mention the latest event taking place in the Bousson household... Molars! OMG they are awful. Will has decided it hurts to bad to go to sleep at his normal time, he wants to be held 24/7 (that part isnt so bad he hasnt been a cuddler in a while) and well thursday night he woke up at 1 and well i dont think anyone went back to sleep. It was so bad that I actually put him in bed with us and he was still thrashing back and forth like a maniac. bless his heart. I didnt know that it was teeth at the time and I feel terrible bc i didnt give him any tylenol or motrin (bad mommy) But today i felt them beginning to break the skin so i am praying that he does good for Joey tonight while i am at work! I am planning on getting teething tablets tomm. My Mother in law has them at her house and so far they have helped tremendously. In other news our fridge is being delivered tomm between 11-3...yeah bc when i opened our fridge today a waterfall of water overflowed onto the floor...eek! luckily i was able to get it up and still get to work on time. Hopefull it can behave itself till they haul it off tomm! and speaking of new fridge it is actually about 5 inches taller than are other one (the old one was OLD SCHOOL) so Joey and his dad had to cut the cabinets out above the fridge tonight. th ewhole situation is kinda crazy the cabinets are old but we have to save up a bit before we can demo the whole kitchen and start over so manipulating the cabinets was our best bet and I must say although it is not the most attractive thing you have ever seen it actually turned out better than i had envisioned when the boys told me "the plan" haha but none the less it is complete and ready for the big switch. Now i get to clean everything out in the am woo hoo (please note sarcasm) but that will be after an early morning photoshoot. Oh and not to leave out we are gettign Wills 1 year pics (although he is 14mths)/family pics done tomm by a fellow blog friend Claire at dontstopbelieving.blogspot.com. she is a fellow photo fanatic like me and her work is amazing so it was a no brainer when it came to who i wanted to do my next set of pics. I love her photo style so i cant wait to see the finsished product :) See I drove all the way to Nashville for wills newborn pics (i know i am anal when it comes to pics) and then i did his 3 month shots, then i had my wedding photographer-ramblingrosephotography do his 6 month photos and then i did his 9 mth and now its time for the one year. And the main reason i waited is so that he would be walking good bc i have a MILLION pics of him sitting up but not as many of him in action. So yeah for tomm I even saw on the news where the humidity is suppose to be lower due to the cold front. Not sure how "cold" it will get but less humidity equals less frizzy hair which means maybe one good pics of me???? Here are pics of our attire (tops anyways bottoms will be jeans or khakis havent decided

My party cardi lol with a lime green tank underneath

Wills polo with the sleeves rolled up

Joeys plain blue shirt to tie it all in

crazy Mom Moment

Ok so I think this might be the craziest thing i ever blog about. So a fellow co worker who has three boys and is expecting her first girl very soon informed me a couple of weeks ago that i should start taking Will to the bathroom with me (and joey do the same) everytime we go to the bathroom and before we know it he will be potty trained. I thought this was crazy but she swore all of her children we potty trained between 15 and 18 months. Whoa! Well by NO means and I wanting my child to hurry up and grow up but it seemed crazy that a kid that age could pick up on such a concept (not to mention how nice would that be get him out of diapers before the next one gets here ( and NO that does not mean I am preggers just saying its one less thing to think about) So anyways back to my story well I dont know what it was about to day (maybe that I opened the closet and saw our cute little frog potty we recieved at a shower) but i decided to give it a whirl. So after he woke up from his nap (since i myself had to potty tmi i know lol) i took him in there with me removed his diaper and sat him down. To say he LOVED it would be an understatement he just sat there in pure delight. I even took a video on my phone but not sure how to upload on here and you can see hins tinkle so i probably wont hehe. Any how he didnt pee but i wasnt really expecting him too. THEN later in the after noon after our next nap (im not lazy i just had to work tonight so that means snoozapalooza on fridays) we went again and wouldnt you know as soon as I put him on the potty he PEED (sp?) I was in shock. Again he was so exicted and we both clapped lol. I was pretty sure it was coincedental of course and thought nothing of it except that maybe with some consistency this may actually work after awhile. Well to my disbelief Joey called me at work to tell me that before bath time Will peed in the potty again. YEAH for my littleman. Now by no means do i think this will lead to spontaneous potty training at 14 months nor am i gonna be the hard core mom who insists that my child is trained by a certin age but hey if he likes it and does it then why not right?!?! There are crazy moms out there who do all kinds of other stuff so i guess i can call this my crazy mom moment

I FINALLY mad up my mind

Ok so the top pic is very tiny but its the only one I could find. But let me just tell you buying a fridge has been a NIGHTMARE!!!! Well maybe it wouldnt be a nightmare if we didnt have certain dimensions that we had to go by...UGH! The first battle was height we have a tiny fridge apparently (super old) well we finally decided that we would have to cut the cabinets out above the fridge so we started looking at frenchdoor fridges bc that would give me the freezer on bottom (like i like) and a bigger fridge well then Joey wanted ice water and ice on the outside (can you say jack up the price-boo) Well once we find one we like we find out their stainless steel "look" (what i want to prevent fingerprints and to use magnets) is the only area where it gets awful reviews :( apparently unlike most versions that particular one looks "cheap" ugh! So then we decide if we are gonna spend more than what we want we might as well make it everything we want bc we can always take it with us to our new home one day so then we decide on the 3 drawer lg (heaven) but wouldnt you know we run into our next problem it is to wide and the depth is to long.....Can you say UGH!!!!! So last night i was at my wits end (sp) And see wouldnt you know indecsisive me waited till the last day of the 10% off /free delivery and haul off of old one to order a new one! Well although it doesnt have all the bells and whistles we ended up getting a bottom freezer Maytag ( the very first one we looked at was the LG but it was a swing open freezer door ????? and the maytag was a pull open) I think we will like it . All the reviews were good and this is the type i wanted from the beginning we just slowly got carried away with bells and whistles. SOOOO good news is it will be delivered on saturday so we dont have to wait to long. And after I get it in the house i will let everyone know how it is! Oh and I almost forgot this was the brand with the "awful" stainless look alike but otherwise great reviews so we just ordered stainless so i hope i can keep it clean eek!

Fourth of July Fun

Besties

Me and My Baby

Best Buddies playing before the fireworks


chillin on the blanket

Diggin the pool

How Patriotic!

The Young ones having fun (no pic of Will bc i was in the water)

Well this weekend was SO MUCH fun. I still had to work but saturday was my 4th and I made the best of it. My in laws had a cook out/pool party and we invited our neighbors the Shives. They have a son Jaxson who is a month older than Will. They are best buddies and they had so much fun in the pool. I even think Jax liked it even more than Will does and he is a total water baby. I think the craziest part of the day was when the BIG boys took the LITTLE boys off the diving board. yes you heard me right they jumped in the pool with the boys in their arms and well...they loved it! He even started kicking and moving his hand in the water so who knows maybe by the end of the summer we will have a true swimmer??? (assisted of course) I didnt get a picture of his newest safety device for the pool but it is call a puddle jumper and it is awesome. I will try to get a pic of it next pool day. After a day spent in the pool we headed to the Bartlett fireworks. We got there a little after 7 and fireworks didnt start till 930 so keeping the boys wrangled close to us and pre occupied with things was a little tough but i tell you after the fireworks started Will was in a trance. He did not move the WHOLE 30 minutes the fireworks were going. So overall this Jly holiday was a Success for the Boussons!

Oh I almost forgot to mention the one BAD part of my holiday weekend. I worked friday night and sat am i had a First Birthday/Parade to take Will to (Miss Carolines from FTM) and i was suppose to take pics no less. Well i ended up being the one who had to give my patients at work to a float nurse (a nurse that comes from another floor) Weeeeeeelllllll wouldnt you know that she didnt show up till 7:15 and then she asked me if we could start giving report at 645 or if we had to wait till 7? When i (as politely as i could)said 645 she said good....WHAT did that mean except that she was say good that she was 30 min late!!! I meansure maybe she is the nicest girl in the world but that totally put me in a mood so there was no hope. And then as I gave report she kept interuppting me (pet peeve if you wait till im finished i will probbly tell you what you need to know and if i dont then you can ask!!!!) So since i didnt get home from work till 810 i didnt get to take Will to the bday. This did allow me to sleep though so i guess it had some silver lining?!?! But like i said the weekend was GREAT and i didnt let a bump in the road ruin my weekend. Sooooo HAPPY FOURTH TO ALL and thanks to all those who are out there serving our country fighting for our freedom :)

Happy Fourth....on the Third

Today will be spent buy the pool with family and friends an then it's off to the fireworks. Happy Holidays to all :)
