Friends at last...kind of

I had to post this video because if you have every been in our home, or even just met Lilli, you know she is not a fan of kids...at all. So, one of our biggest battles at home is keeping Clayton out of her food bowl (which usually ends up with her nipping at his hands, him being heart broken that his best friend bit him, and he comes to tattle on Lilli). Poor Lilli, all she wants is to eat in peace and Clayton now has her on a strict diet. At least they are in the same room with eachother. I never thought there would be sibling issues with a kid and a dog...go figure...chihuahuas

Now her bone....that's a whole 'nother issue!

"Chicks Dig Scars" Take 3

I suppose we were due for another visit to the ER...it has been a couple of months.

This is Clayton's 3rd go around with head injuries (thanks to the piano leg this time), which bleed way too much for the actual cut size. Chris said if we went to the ER we would spend 3 hours there and all they would do is glue it, since its in a hidden place. So, he talked me into helping him glue it at home. After a long battle of trying to hold him down, Chris got a big glob of super glue on the cut. Turns out the glue you buy at the store is NOT the same as doctors use...so, it sprung a leak as it dried and now it looks like a big bloody mass on the back of his head. I think next time we are going to call on the professional.

PS: Turns out his chin got the worse of the deal but got overlooked by the stream of blood coming down that beautiful blonde hair.

18 months...

18 months can only mean one thing to a LDS parent....NURSERY!!! Last week was Clayton's first week in Nursery (which is the first class of the Sunday School program) and he seemed to like it. I'm not so sure he is into sitting still long enough for a lesson and singing time but he is all for play time. Time sure does fly!

Oklahoma's Annual Ice Storm

That's right...the ice has returned. I never thought that we would get over the memories of ice storm 2008, but thank goodness this years did not bring too much salt in the wound. We didn't even lose power and we had Chris home for 3 days.

Clayton couldn't be happier about the situation. It was so funny, he would start running on the ice, but not going anywhere, until gravity would take over and he would fall. He looked like a cartoon character. The problem was him not keeping his gloves on. When he hit the ice, catching himself with this hands, he would just cry and cry. But, that sure didn't stop him.

After the storm came the sunshine!

Yes, the ice passed and out came the sun. So, we had to seize the day with some great friends at the OK Zoo. It was such a breath of fresh air to see the sky again! Check out Clayton's new best friend...thanks for being a trooper Tristan!
Clayton is one of those kids where people will say, "He's never met a stranger". He always walks into a room, scouts out where the action is, and goes to join it. This little girl that he is standing by was yelling at his the whole time about 'not touching her' but he thought it was great that someone was so passionate to/with him.

This last video was us being entertained during the ice shut-in. Clayton learned to say 'zoo' that day. See if you can pick it out.
