Dinner at Nama and Papa's

Tonight we went to Nama Pammy's and Papa Todd's for grilled kabobs, YUMMY! The boys played outside while Papa grilled. Thank you for the supper Nama and Papa it was delicious :)

Bray running around the yard

Chasing Reese, one of his favorite things to do! Reese loves it too :)

There is our happy little P and our silly Bray!

Downward Dog, he does this pose so well, it must be all of the practice that he does! I wish that I was that flexible still.

Swinging with Grandma!

Bray learning how to grill, Papa is a good teacher!

One taken care of another on the way....

The last two nights Bray has told me that his ear hurts, the second I mentioned going to the doctor he would tell me, "No I not need to go to the doctor, my ear no hurt anymore". Well after last night I decided that since I had the day off I should take him in to just get it checked out, I would rather be safe then end up in the ER at 3am. Well turns out that Bray has an ear infection, the left ear is infected, the right is slightly red and not nearly as infected as the left but in a few days would be. So he is on medication to take care of it... This is Bray's second ear infection, so hopefully it doesn't progress to more.

Bray has been a little more grumpy lately, hopefully this medicine clears up those ears and we get back to having our happy Bray back!

Explorer P...

Porter and I went for a walk this afternoon after we got back from lunch with daddy and running a few errands. Porter walked our walk, we just walked the three sidewalks on our block. Reese come along too, he was a little disappointed it wasn't a full hard working walk, but he had fun none the less. Porter had so much fun walking around and exploring.

P walking...

Stopping to pick up a rock...

Throwing a rock...

That look means I know I shouldn't be running on the neighbors lawn but I am only going to take one more step, I promise mom!

Mom stop taking pictures, I want to go down the slide!

Fixing the mower, a true fix it man!

All fixed and ready to mow!

The look of evil is in his eye, I will not eat this rock mom, I promise I will not eat it! He tried to eat it a few times...

I loved spending time with Porter today, I wish I could do it every single day!

P's big day!

Porter had a very big day today! We went to the clinic at 6:45 and waited a very short while for the nurse to come and get us and Porter went back for surgery at 7:40 and came back to me at just after 8, we left the hospital at 8:45. Porter did very well, for the most part. He had a small meltdown (small meaning he threw himself all over the tile floor, I was trying to place his blanket under his randomly furiously slamming head, and proceeded to bite himself and his blanket, he has a good bruise on his forehead and a few scratches on his hands from biting himself) after Grandma Pammy had to head back to work and he was left with just Mommy! After he knocked his forehead on the ground he was pretty good about snuggling with Mommy and was ok with Mommy holding him. He demanded his shoes and coat be put on and I obliged because I was there to make him happy and comfortable. He cried until the second that those automatic doors opened releasing us from the Same day Surgery Center. He did so well the rest of the day! I can't believe how fast he has gone back to our happy, smiley, loving life little P :) The past couple of months have been rough on P, he has been in pain that we didn't realize he was actually in, we just figured it was a stage he was in. I am relieved and over joyed that our smiley little boy has come back to us! Thank you Dr. N!

Porter this morning, he was not ready to get up at 6:30, he just hid under the blanket saying No No No Mommy!

P playing trucks while we waited for the nurse.

Porter drawing mommy a picture! We brought trucks and Mickey along too.

P and Nama Pammy, opening the present that she got him! Thanks for the Mickey cars Nama, Porter loved them and the Teddy Grams, food is the way to his heart :)

After surgery we went home so Porter could eat breakfast and then take a nap. After nap time we went to run some errands and stopped to have lunch with Daddy at work! Porter loved his Ham sub and apples, along with a cookie, chips and a sucker!

We are so glad to have you back to yourself!

Cool Shades!

We got the boys some new summer shades the other day! The boys have to wear them whenever we get in the car, no matter sunny or raining... Porter wears his glasses whatever way he wishes, Braylon does things a little more traditional.

Bray wearing his cool blue shades!

Porter, well... I have no words!

Welcome spring weather, how we have missed you!!!!!

Wednesday night the weather was so beautiful that we invited Grams and Uncle Ziggy to come over to grill Hamburgers and eat Roasted Veggies! The boys had so much fun playing outside while we were grilling, that Braylon couldn't concentrate on eating, he sat at the table for about 5 minutes and then got down from the table and grabbed his shoes, coat and hat and stood by the door waiting very impatiently for the rest of us to finish eating and then head back outside! I have a feeling that we will not be in the house ever this Spring and Summer, should keep our house clean for a long time!

Braylon and Daddy having secret conversation...

Porter going up and down the slide

Reese got in on the fun too! He LOVED the weather, it is a great way to wear out that puppy energy he still has at 3 years old :)

Porter swinging, he tries to go on the big boy swing but he just doesn't have it figured out yet, so we will try to encourage the baby swing for a while longer.

What a beautiful smile! He was running away from Daddy, thinking he is funny!

Dear mother nature, keep the beautiful days coming our way!

Love, The Jensen's

Good-bye my dear friend!

Braylon is a nuk baby/toddler! He has loved his nuk from the moments that he laid eyes on it when he was just a little peanut, he has since grown to love it even more as the past 2 and a half years have gone by! Ben and I agreed that as of May 1st Braylon would be saying goodbye to his nuk... Well it seems as though once again Braylon has decided that he will do things his way when he is ready! The last few months we have been very open with Braylon about him getting rid of his nuks, now when he comes and sleeps with us at night (bad habit number 2, since he can open his door he is a frequent flyer in mommy's and daddy's bed) he doesn't get his nuk, he has to give it to us. Well last night Braylon showed me that he is really ready to get rid of his nuk all on his own, he told me all night that he did not want his nuk, he wanted a Monster truck and that Porter wanted Boats (Bray is such a good big brother, if he gets something new he always makes sure to include P too!). He did end up sleeping with it for his short snooze in his room last night, but he is making the correct steps in saying good-bye to a dear dear friend! Tonight we are going to the store to pick out a few toys to help encourage him to sleep tonight without it! We know that he can do it! See pictures below of the journey Bray and his Nukie have been through together :)

This picture is taken about a month ago, and it will be one of the last pictures of him with a nukie!

So much alike!

It is amazing how much these two look alike, it happens more and more each day!

Some pictures from when they were little are very difficult to tell who is who.

Facial expressions, laughter, smiles, cries all sound alike and look alike!

They are two adorable little boys :)

Sucker momma!

Our boys LOVE suckers, the tootsie roll ones especially! They love them so much last night they decided that they had to bring them in the bath with them! I guess there is no better place to have a sucker, less mess :)

Porter still wearing his supper on his face! We go right from the table to the bathtub with him!

Bray loves to lounge in the bath, he is watching P shoot some hoops!

Playing boats in the tub together, Porter is sinking his ship, it must have hit an iceberg :)

Braylon really likes playing with boats, he told me he doesn't want baby toys in the tub anymore, he wants boats... So it looks like the Easter Bunny knows what to get him for Easter :)
