Major turned 5! We had a clown come for about an hour or so and she painted faces and made animal balloons. I think the kids loved it. I had 18 5 year olds at our house. CRAZY!!!!!! It worked out really nice. B.J .took Major bowling that afternoon and then we went to Serranos and ate Mexican food.( My most favorite food ever.) Dallas turns 3 on the 27th of Aug. I cant believe my baby is 5. Here are some fun pictures of the party!

It has been a while since I have posted, and we have sooo... much going on. Major and Dallas are both starting school on the 11th of Aug. We have been indecisive about starting Major. He turns 5 on th 4th of Aug and that means he barley makes the cut off. It is hard because size wise he is ready, and smart wise he is ready too but socially he is very shy and very much a follower. Major is soo... sweet and usually obedient, but gets his feelings hurt easily and I worry that he would be dominated. So we have made the decision to start him in half day kindergarten this year and full day next. Dallas on the other hand is very much a leader and he just does not give a rats A** about what you say or how you say it. He is a flat out fireball and tough as nails. His dimples have saved his life on more than one occasion. Dallas has been accepted to an early intervention pre-school because his speech is not up to his age level. Imagine that, B.J. and I having a child that doesn't talk that seems like an oxymoron. So what this means is on Monday thru Friday Major will be gone in the morning and Dallas will be gone Monday thru Thursday every morning. B.J. and my life is about to change. My house is ALWAYS loud and crazy so it will be nice to have some peace and quiet. Even though I have contemplated having a few strong drinks,and driving my care into Canyon Lake with me seat belted in. I am very glad they have each other. They are either best friends or fighting over the same toy all day. Having two young active boys is TIRING. I do know the whole meaning of having joy in your posterity though, my boys make me laugh constantly. Dallas is trying to talk so some of his lingo cracks me up. He calls Major errrr. 10 times a day I hear "Errr meer!" Translation... "Major come here!" Just the last few weeks he has been saying a lot more words. We are excited for him to start school and get caught up.

Our big family vacation was in Vegas and California, we were gone for 2 1/2 weeks and it was AMAAAAAZING! We left on Fathers Day and headed to Vegas. My mother-in-law and father-in-law bought us tickets to The Jersey Boys that night and it was DARLING highly recommended to anyone. There was a little bit of strong language but other than that, very clean. Our niece went with us to Vegas to help us watch the kids so we could go out and have a good time. She is 14 years old and very responsible. The kids ordered room service and a movie. B.J. had given her his cell phone so she could get a hold of us. When we got out of the show we had 8 missed calls from her. Major was doinking around on the bed and fell and cut his eye open. She ended up calling the front desk and they called an ambulance. Yeah nice. We spent the first night of vacation in the hospital till 4am. Unfreakinbelievible. Major couldn't swim for 10 days and has a really nice scar from his little stunt. No stitches just glue. The ER doc said that is was too close to the eye and the skin is soo thin around the eye that the stitches themselves would leave a scar. Moral of the story... Unless you know they need stitches, just go to Walgreen's and buy a little neosporin, super glue and bandades. You will save around 1500 dollars. Yes you heard it right! I'm in the wrong DAMN business. Other than that our trip ROCKED. We got a lot of rest and relaxation in. B.J.'s parent were awesome as always. Our kids just love them. There is always a party at the Wootan household. I hope B.J. and I can keep the partying reputation up with our kids.

In June I turned 31 and I don't feel a bit older. I still feel 20. I am so grateful for my health, and my kids health. If you don't feel well nothing in life is fun. My mom has been in a lot of pain the last several months and is getting her hip replaced in September. I am really happy for her I do think that this is going to be a new start for her. She cant sit, stand, or walk for very long. It seems like it has really slowed her down. It seems like my whole life as I remember my mom has struggled with some sort of physical health problem. I hope that this surgery blesses her life.
Over all we are GREAT! Here are some fun pictures of the boys and our trip! We love you all and hope you all have a wonderful first day of school!
