Too Long.........

Okay, I am starting to get bad at writing on this blog not as much! Sorry kids!! I try to get on here every night but it just seems like it just gets so busy and when things get slow I just want to relax and go to bed.
Well let me tell yall a couple of things that has happened to last couple of days..... Allyson, Kenna got to stay the night with you. You just thought you were so cool to have her stay the night. We went to Wal-Mart and you two got matching pj's and dairies. Then we went to Little Caesars and got pizza. Kenna and you played dress up and jumped on your bed all night. We made daddy his valentine present and Kenna made her parents one. You guys painted pictures, by the end of the night we had paint everywhere. But mommy did good (I had not one meltdowns, I just let yall have fun). Then the next day was valentines day. Daddy surprised us with gifts, he got mommy the prettiest flowers, Allyson you got a rose that plays music, and brother you got a box of chocolates. Then when the Mocks came to pick up Kenna we had a nice little lunch with them. It was a great Valentines weekend.
Okay today was one of the scariest days of my life. Allyson you woke up this morning at like 5:45 and was having so problems breathing. I gave you some medicine, and then me and you went back to bed. By the time daddy got home you we were really struggling to breath. Daddy called Dr. Bowen and she wanted to see you right away. By the time we got to the doctors, you were still having problems and you could barley talk. So they checked your oxygen and gave you a breathing treatment. Dr Bowen would not let us leave until you were doing better on your breathing. She is thinking that you had an asthma attack. SCARY! SCARY! She says time will only tell if that is what you have. But right now you are on breathing treatments every 4-6 hours and a steroid. But Mommy and Daddy are going to pray a whole lot that you don't have asthma. Allyson you and your brother are my world, I hate to see yall hurt. Today Mommy wished that it was me and not you. It made me so sad to see my little girl scared and hurting. I wish I could of took it away from you. I will do everything in my power to make sure that you will never hurt like that again. I love you two more then I could ever explain.
PS Allyson, Mommy came right home and order you your Max and Ruby dolls that you have been wanting. It made me feel better.............lol!!!!!!!!

The Leonard's go on "Cation".....











Well it has been a while.... Lets see Ally Jo you got your second haircut from Stephanie and now you look like a big girl. You would tell us "I want Olivia hair" so we had to cut it like Lou Lou's. You look up to your older cousins so much. Wyatt you are starting to talk more and more everyday. You can say "Jo Jo, ball and your favorite dog dog". You even told Mimi "Luv Lou" for the first time and of course you have not said it to me or daddy. So Mimi is loving that one. You are also turning into a big Pop's boy, you go to Pop's over anyone right now. It breaks Mimi's heart but Pops is eating it up (but of course Pops lets you do what ever you want and feeds you anything you want).
So we went on Vacation this weekend, as Ally would say "cation" and just got back today. We went to the Great Wolf Lodge in Texas and had a blast. You guys loved it. Ya ll loved the water park! Ally you made a friend there and you didn't want to be with the family anymore. You kept telling us to leave you two alone that you were playing. I just kept following you!! So that hurt Daddy and I feelings b/c you are only two and didn't want to be with us. I guess it was a glimpse into the future for us!! We went an ate at the Rain Forest Cafe, Allyson you loved it and Wyatt you surprised me and daddy, you got scared of the monkey so Mommy had to hold you the whole time. You were not a big fan of that experience, I think it was the first time you didn't finish your dinner! You both picked out toys there ( I think you both got toys in every store that we went too! but that is okay we were on "cation")!!! Our goal is to try and take you kids back every year from now on. We had a great time watching you two. We were sad to leave but so happy to be home and get to sleep in our own beds.

Allyson and Wyatt- We love you two so much and hope that we can give you lots of fun memories to remember!

Snowed In










































Yesterday was a ice storm and then today it just snowed all day....... so we have been inside the last two days.



It was wonderful , besides Wyatt you were a little under the weather I think your tummy was hurting. Lets just say we went through lots of diapers today. Today was one of those days that I wish I could get at least once a month. I loved the weather! I loved being stuck inside with the whole family! I loved that we had no where to be! I loved that we all got to stay in our pj's! I loved that you two got to play and do whatever you wanted and Mommy didn't have one meltdown! I loved that Allyson got to watch Max and Ruby how ever many times you wanted! I loved that Wyatt got to sleep a lot today! I loved that Daddy didn't have to go to work! I loved that we had hot dogs and mac n cheese for dinner! I loved that Mommy caught up on laundry! I loved that we got to clean your rooms! Lets just say today was a good day at the Leonard house!!!!!!!!

The Hair Cut.....

So today is Tuesday and we do the same thing every Tuesday........
Mommy and us go to Mimi's house and play with our friends till 4..
Then we head to Moore and meet daddy for dinner somewhere...
Daddy and Wyatt go home and do boy stuff...
Mommy and Ally go to Tippi Toes and DANCE...
Mommy went to Tippi Toes and got you ready to dance just like I do every Tuesday. Here is Ally at her Tippi Toes, she is doing her favorite pose (they call it airplane arms)
And Daddy was supposed to take you home and play, but instead he took you home and decided to shave your head!!!! Even thou you look so cute. Mommy was so sad because I missed it. I missed your first haircut, I missed getting to have pictures of your first haircut, I missed getting to see your reaction, I missed getting to see your daddy when he was giving you your first haircut and most of all I just missed it. I know some people may not understand but I am your mama and I want to be there for all of your first. So I was so upset on the drive home from Tippi Toes and when Ally heard me tell daddy that I was sad I miss it, she sad "Mommy we are so sad" so the moment we walked in the door and she saw that daddy really cut your hair she just starting crying and she cried for like 10 minutes and she was so upset with daddy. Wyatt I know being a boy that this may not be important to you but I am going to be so sad that we don't have pictures to show you one day or at least to put in your baby book but daddy did do one good thing, he did keep your hair!!!!!!! So that is the story about your first hair cut.........

Date Night



We got invited to one of Michael's coworkers weddings. So we decided to make a date night of it. We went out to eat before hand, we decided on Zios. Then we went to the reception and had a blast. I got to meet a lot of the people that he works with. It was nice to finally get to put a face with the name. Michael may of had a better time then me, he got to have a couple of drinks (okay maybe more then a couple) but I had a blast just sitting back and watching some of them make fools of themselves. They were all out there dancing and having a great time. I met some of the wives, and some I liked better then others. Well after that we came home, and enjoyed each other company. Then off to bed and I think I slept till like noon, yeah I haven't done that in along time. As soon as I finally rolled out of bed, I went straight to Mimi and Pop's house to pick up the kiddos. Then Mimi and us went to our favorite place in the world WAL-MART. Yes I know I would live there if I could and yes they do get all of our money, so I guess we could call it our bank. Anyways when I got home we played hide and seek ( Allyson you just learned how to play this game and now you want to play it all the time) we had a blast. So it was a great weekend, sad to see it over but I am ready to get back on schedule.

Dear God.....




Dear God...


Please grant me the strength and patience, that I need to raise my 2 year old (that is a toddler trapped in a teenager's body) and my 1 old (that is all boy). I had a odd day yesterday with the two of you. See Wyatt you are a biter and I think you bit like 5 kids this week, not counting your sissy because you bite her like 5 times a day. I had to call 2 parents this week and tell them that we were so sorry that you bit their kid. So that was hard for Mommy even thou I know you were in the wrong , I am still a "momma bear" and I want to protect you from anyone thinking you are the mean kid in daycare. Daddy and I are trying hard to break this bad habit that you have, but for some reason it is getting worse. You are picking up even more bad habits like pulling hair, hitting, pinching, and scratching. So God if you are listening please help me with my little boy and his bad habits. Please grant me the strength I need to stay strong. Now Allyson you made some "bad choices" yesterday at Mimi's house. Mimi had to call me and tell me that you chose not to listen very well. You told her "Mimi you are not brother boss" where you learned that I have no clue. You told her "No I not want to help pick up" and "NO" when she told you to stop running. So we grounded you from picking out any movies for you to watch, and you are having a hard time with it. Because right now you are obsessed with "Max and Ruby". So again God I am asking you to grant me the patience's I need with my 2 old. I try to remember you are just 2, but people are telling me that 3's are worst. So God help us! So when we got home last night, we ate dinner and off to bed for the kiddos. You both woke up early and mommy is still needing strength and patience because it has all started again. Same stuff, different day! Both fighting, Wyatt biting, pulling hair, and pinching, Ally melt downs. And now you both are playing together and I am enjoying the moment because you two are getting along right now. So I gotta go and join in because God only know how long it will last.

Wyatt and his special blanket


So today was a long day. I was a little under the weather and Michael forgot to give Wyatt his blanket this morning to take to Mimi's house. So we had to go all day without it. It wasn't to bad but it was hard for the little guy as soon as we got home, he found it and he just started hugging it tight and laughing. So needles to say "glad this day is over" and we are going to go to bed early because mommy needs some rest. So this blog is short, but we are off to bed.

The Anniversary Night


So our anniversary is today. We have been married for 7 wonderful years. Well we decided to go out and celebrate the big occasion last night since we both had the whole day off. Well this is how it all went down. Allyson had a ear doctor appointment so after that we dropped the kids off at Mimi and Pops house. We headed to the movie theater to see Aviator and eat in the balcony. We got there and of course they were sold out. Then we just decided to go eat and see the Blind Side, well we got done eating at 7:15 and the movie started at 9:45, we didn't want to stay out that late (yes I know we are nerds). So we walked around the mall to waste time, got bored of that real quick. Went to see if there was a movie to rent and just our luck, nothin we want to see. So then I came up with the idea to go to a drive-inn movie and of course they are closed for the season. So we just laughed about everything and decide to go home. So we ended up watching all of our Monday night shows and hanging out just the two us. It was a good time and I think that both of us had a blast. We needed a night like that, just me and my best friend in the whole wide world. He is the greatest thing that is ever happen to me and I feel like the luckiest woman in the world to have a great man like him to call my husband.

Birthday Party
















Today the family went to my nephew Brody's birthday party at Express Ranches ( as Ally would say the farm). It was a blast the kiddos had so much fun. They got to see and pet the horses, chase the poor little cat around and run around the yard all day. They needed that. I think Brody made out like a champ with all of the gifts that he got. So I think that everyone had a great day. Thanks to the Mock for letting us have such a great family fun day. Here are some cute pictures that I took today. Allyson finally had some place to get to wear her "cowboy pants" and her "seat belt" that means chaps and belt and Wyatt was the cutest cowboy that I have ever seen!

My Cowboy

















































Sticky fingers, dirty face.
Rugs and pillows out of place.
Cars and tractors here and there,
blocks and boats everywhere.
Gold and silver have I none,
But worth a million is my son.

My Princess






















Hop scotch,
jump rope,
monkey bars, and swings.
Dress up, make-up,
plastic diamond rings.
Pony tails, pig tails,
ribbon with curls;
I gotta tell ya, boys.
It's great to be a girl!

Sick Baby


I have been so busy giving my little boy much needed care. He has been sick the last two days and has not let me put him down, so I have been just giving him lots and lots of lovins. I took him to the doctor today and he has a sinus infection and it has all settled in his eyes. So his eyes are all puffy and he has a nasty cough with a none stop runny nose. She gave him some eye drops which he hates and I hate putting them in his eyes because it is a fight. I am guessing it burns. She also gave him some antibiotic and he loves the taste of that. So we are going on little sleep and lots of lovins. Ally is still Ally lots and lots of energy. She hates that her brother will not get up to play with her. And she got very upset when we had to put drops in brother eyes. She didn't understand why we were making him cry (it was sad). Well Wyatt is in my lap right now and he is needing some lovins so I need to cater to him now. Ready for this week to be over.
