Evan's F-U-N-N-Y!!

Tonight, Aaron was telling the boys that they're going to Roy & Marki's for the weekend and Evan said, "I hope they don't have their cows anymore." Aaron asked him why and Evan said, " Because I don't like cows anymore, they bark too much, like this MOOOOOOOOO and scare me."

A friend of ours had a baby on Sunday and we went to see him on Monday. On the way there, here's how our conversation went:

E: Is he already out?
R: Yes, he was born yesterday.
E: Mom, how do babies come out of your tummy?
R: Well, that's kind of tricky.
E: Do they cut your tummy open?
R: Sometimes they do.
E: Wow!! That would take a lot of band-aids!!

Last night at the dinner table, Evan said, "Is 'What the heck' a word?"

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Payton was complaining about his head hurting and his throat hurting. Evan said, "Payton, if you eat cottage cheese, it will make you feel better."

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few weeks ago, we were sitting at the table and everyone was snacking on pudding or Jell-O when Evan said, "Hey! Anyone want to see my butt crack?" We laughed so hard!! It was absolutely hilarious!! Then, we look over and he's mooning us!!

Payton Update

Payton has had a headache since Saturday. He's been running a fever off and on, although we haven't been able to "catch it" to see how high. It goes up and he feels bad and then it breaks and he feels fine. He has wanted to go to school every day and we've sent him because I know how that works -- he gets up and starts feeling better by 9 and still gets to stay at home all day. I didn't want to do that, especially the first week of school.

Last night, his voice was weird and he was saying that his throat hurt and his head hurt. We went to a friend's house to swim while Aaron & his guys had their fantasy football thing. He jumped in a few times and said he was ready to go. I thought it was because his friend wasn't there and the water was really cold from the earlier rain shower that came through.

Anyway, he got up this morning and he was sweaty like his fever had just broke and he was still saying his head and his throat hurt. So, Aaron took him to Dr. J's this morning and Payton has the early stages of MONO!! YUCK!!!

They did a blood test (Payton was so BIG! He didn't even cry!) and it came back negative, but he has several symptoms of it. Dr. J said he isn't contagious now and it's still really early, but he was sure that in 4 to 7 days, it would be full blown mono. He said Payton can still go to school because he's not contagious yet, but he can't do any activities (like P.E.) and when he gets home, he has to lay on the couch and watch a lot of movies (words of Dr. J) and I'm sure Xbox goes in that category, too.

So, I'm believing that the symptoms will stop and Payton will be instantly healed. We definitely don't need mono going around our house or anyone else's house!

The BOYS are BACK!!

Evan and I were glued to the tv last night watching the game, listening to all the stats, blah blah blah. We just wanted them to show the crowd, but they didn't do much of that. They did show one family where the "dad" had on a Panthers jersey. Not sure if he was at the right game. ;)

Our car pulled in our driveway this morning at 1:45 am. Inside were 3 very sleepy boys who came in and went straight to bed. This morning, I asked them how it went and Payton said, "Good." Ethan gave me all the details (which I loved!). Aaron told me he got some good pictures and video of the game, so after he left for work, I went out to the car to get my camera.

So, here are some pictures from the game:


Doesn't he look excited?


Doing the WAVE:


Don't they look excited?


The cowboys sideline, although I don't know who any of them are:


The Colts are close!! So are the boys! They moved down once the game started so they could be closer.


Here's the Cowboys tunnel. These videos are short because if they get too big, my camera won't hold them:



Payton said he did have a good time and he would like to do it again sometime. I'm not sure Aaron does -- lots of cars and lots of people. Aaron said maybe once a year!

Tune In TONIGHT!!

Tonight's a big night at our house!! Payton has a chance of being on tv and he wants everyone to know and be watching FOX at 7 pm tonight!!

Aaron is taking Payton & his friend to the Dallas Cowboys game tonight. It's the Dallas Cowboys vs. Indianapolis Colts pre-season game. Payton is so excited that he's going to get to see Tony Romo, Terrell Owens, Roy Williams, and Peyton Manning all in the same game!! He is so excited about it!! He's been on the phone this morning with Na Na (my mom) and Purty (Aaron's mom) making sure they're going to tune in.

They're going to be in one of the end zones (section 33) on the side. I had tickets on Ebay that were in the end zone on the first row, but I lost them in the last 30 seconds. But, we were able to get some more, so it all worked out in the end.

I'm sending my camera with Aaron and hopefully he'll remember to use it! ;)
