checking out the yard work
helping out by mowing the yard
getting ready to slide
his first popsicle...he wasn't sure about it at the beginning but he mastered it fairly well by the end
plum tuckered out!
trying out m & ms...nothing like a little sugar rush at a baseball game
big play...yay!
mccoy and i and lynne and liam...who's toddler cooperates for pictures anyway!
back at the stinson's playing a little music
safety first!
these boys couldn't stop playing!
then on saturday, we headed to a razorback scrimmage game with the westmoreland's...all mccoy wanted to do was run the stairs...little scarier in an empty stadium with lots of room to fall down...burt was all over him though!
back up again!
then on sunday, it was time to work on the baby's room
mccoy has wings...
or at least his hair does!
snuggling
more pictures to come...happy easter!
ohhhh, where to begin.....
let's just start at christmas, which is where our first double ear infection occurred...after 5 rounds of antibiotics and several doctor's visits later, we ended up at the ear, nose and throat clinic...now, mccoy officially has tubes! our sweet little boy has never been a sick child...we've hardly ever seen any of the doctor's at the clinic, so we thought we were doing great...once he got that first infection, he could never get rid of it...so he's had a constant infection for the past three months...no fun! supposedly, to him, it sounds like his head is under water or his ears never popped after a plane trip...as well as the ear infections, we also had the eczema and allergies on top of it all...needless to say, the last three months have been a little up and down!
BUT now, all of that is over (hopefully)!!! we went in on tuesday for tubes around 6 that morning...we got checked in, and they had him put on a little hospital gown...we hung around the room and then ventured out in the hallways where we found a wagon to ride in, so up and down and round and round we rode! a little before 8, they took him back for surgery...since we couldn't go with him, they let him take his lala (sleeping buddy) and blanket...i think i blinked and the doctor was back telling us how well mccoy did...i looked at my watch and it was 8:07 am! that was so fast! a few minutes later, we had our little guy back...he was somewhat off from the anesthesia, but we sat there for about thirty minutes for him to feel better...then we went home!
that day, i thought we would snuggle and watch movies and just lay low...but no no no was i wrong! that boy was off and running...he finally felt great for the first time in months, and there was no stopping him! it is the absolute best feeling to have as a parent to see your child well! here's to many, many, many more run around days!
before surgery
cute yellow socks they let him have! 
hope everyone has a very blessed day!!! 
this is the only picture you will catch me painting in since this is pretty much the only area that i tackled...the rest of the project was totally done by bridget and barry...burt and i spent our time running after mccoy trying to keep him out of this room! 
the girls! 
of course, i didn't just wanted it painted...i wanted stripes too! i think it took about 6 hours to get the stripes perfectly straight, and they are sooo fabulous! 
the finished product! 
bridget's on the phone with barry discussing how much we owe them! 
i LOVE our front room so much...thanks ladies!!!
after driving, we met up with the rest of the school for the petting zoo part...mccoy really liked these bunnies especially when they licked his finger! 
next, he got to pet a little monkey... 
such a cute little baby! 
off and running 
mccoy's friend liam really wanted to ride the ponies, so we took a chance at it too...usually, mccoy wants nothing to do with riding anything alive, but he surprised us this day! 
giddy up horsey! 
checking out his buddy 
little help from his daddy 
unfortunately, liam wasn't up for the ride after all...chris walked him beside the pony just in case he changed his mind 
the boys and their boys
