Big Boy Brody

i



Adam took Brody for his 2 year checkup yesterday. It's a little late but that's just how it was scheduled. This is the first time that I haven't taken him but I had already been off on Monday and Tuesday b/c of my grandpa's arrangements so I let Adam take him since it was his day off. He got two shots and had a little bit of an ear infection but other than that Adam said he did great. He is still a really big boy! He was 35 lb 1/2 oz (97th percentile), 38.5 inches tall (above the 99th percentile) and his head measured 50.3 cm (93rd percentile). The doctor told Adam that Brody was bigger than his 3 1/2 year old little boy!!!
The ear infection explains his lingering runny nose. I am hopeful that the medicine will get rid of that quickly. As you can see from the pictures above he didn't really act like he didn't feel good last night. He was his usually funny self and he kept wanting me to give him a piggy back ride! I am enjoying it while I still can because at the rate this boy is growing, I may not be able to do this much longer!

Harrison "H.R." Richard Boston

My wonderful Grandpa H.R. Boston passed away on Friday, February 6. He was 72 years old. He was the hardest working, kindest, and most honest person I have ever met. He made a lasting impression on my life and I am so blessed to have been able to call him Grandpa. Please pray for my grandmother, my daddy, my uncles Reece and Richard, and my Aunt Twylla as they struggle through this difficult time.

My grandparents lived in LaFollette. I didn't get to see them as much as I would have liked to but there are two occasions each year that I really looked forward to. One was Christmas. We all went to my Grandparents house and spent the night. Santa would come and we would open presents and then eat the best breakfast ever! The other occasion was summer vacation. My grandparents, Aunt Twylla and Uncle David and their family, Mom, Dad, Bryan, Curt and I would go to the beach, Daytona Beach every July and stay in the same place. We always had a blast and my brothers and I would have it planned out months in advance who would ride with Grandpa and Grandma and stay in their room when we got there. These vacations are the standard for which I will judge every family vacation that I go on for the rest of my life.

My grandpa was a wonderful man, father, grandfather and great-grandfather and he lived a life that I know was pleasing to God. He always had a smile on his face. He loved his family,especially my Grandma. He also loved listening to Hank Williams and Bluegrass music. Thank you so much for being my grandpa! We will all miss you very much, but we know that you have a perfect body now that doesn't have to work so hard!!

Watch out George Strait

Sorry I just noticed how long it has been since I posted anything on here. I always check other people's blog to see what they have been into but for some reason I haven't updated my own lately.

We had Brody's party on a Saturday but his actual birthday was the a couple days later on Monday. Wouldn't you know that just happened to fall on one of the two nights a year that I have to work late!!! I just couldn't wait to get home. We had ordered him a guitar for his birthday and I got to pick it up that evening. When I got home, I couldn't wait to see my little birthday boy!!! I told him I had a surprise for him and let him open the box. He was so excited. I have to say that I was a little worried about him not playing with it b/c he is too little but I was so WRONG. He absolutely loves it. Anytime any music comes on TV he looks at me funny and runs to find his guitar so he can sing too! He also will put his cowboy hat and boots on.(look out George Strait)
