Today was the boys' first day to take their new bikes for a ride together. I think Lee was more excited than Matt. They waited for Wade to take a nap, and then they loaded up and headed out to the 218 Bypass.</div>

They boys and I got Matt a road bike for his birthday. I wasn't sure Lee was going to be able to contain himself until Matt got home. He was SO excited. He immediately started planning their rides together on the bypass.<br />

We practiced Matt's arrival and how the boys were going to have him close his eyes, as they guided him to his prize.<br />

I would give a million dollars if I had the video camera ready. Wade ran to the door, and before Matt was even inside, he started chanting, "We got you a PRIZE, Daddy! It's a BIKE! Close your eyes. It's a prize. It's a bike!" Matt was overwhelmed. Lee and I were laughing hysterically, and Wade was wondering why no one was closing their eyes <em>or</em> following him.<br />

Matt was a great sport and was surprised. I think he loves it, but I think the boys might love it more. They were a tad disappointed that it wasn't red like theirs. I told them Daddy would like it, because it was Skyhawk orange. Sure enough, the first thing Matt said was, "I love that it's UTM orange!" That's my boy! I'm thankful each and every day for UTM and being the place that brought us together. Most of all, I'm thankful each day for this Birthday Boy! I love you!HayesFamilyHappeningshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03263552338021192310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5305567255249857335.post-58224810659746023892013-02-18T23:07:00.000-06:002013-02-23T23:09:00.003-06:00President's Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We woke up to a beautiful sunny day ready to head to the Memphis Zoo today. As we entered Shelby County, the sky became darker, and by the time we were close to our exit, we had light sprinkles. So we abandoned that plan and headed to the Children's Museum.</div>

Lee has been here several times and easily remembered all of his favorites. Wade was a first timer, and he overstayed his welcome at each station. But Lee was a good sport and was rewarded with his favorite Chik-Fil A for lunch and ice cream. It was a fun day!</div>

After the boys went to bed last night, I filled their rooms with Valentine balloons. They were so excited when they got up this morning. Lee said, "Daddy must have gotten up extra early this morning to do all this work for us." Matt loved that he got all the credit. I love that Matt does fun things for them, so that wouldn't be completely nuts for him to have done it. I'm a very lucky gal for sure!</div>

Lee was quick to fill him in on how amazing "The Lion King" is and how much he is going to love it. We saw it 2 years ago, sans Wade, while we were in Las Vegas. Lee was literally on the edge of his seat the entire performance. I can't wait to see how much they both love it this year when we see it at TPAC.</div>

Lee had a Valentine party in his class today with special snacks, and then they exchanged Valentines. I asked him who liked his Valentines best, and without missing a beat, he said, "Christine." "Christine? Does she like Star Wars?" "No Mom. She said Pixie Stix are her favorite candy." Ha!</div>

Matt won this dandy little remote control whoopie cushion at our Sunday School Christmas party, and as imagined, the boys love it! This morning, Wade slept later than Lee, which rarely happens. Lee was giddy wanting to wake Wade up. I told him that he had to wait. This went on and on. Finally, it was time to wake him up, so we could take Lee to school. Lee insisted on being the one to wake him. Confused, I stood in the doorway to watch. Lee started blasting the remote controle "toot box." He had hidden the box under Wade's pillow the night before, and was ready to blast him awake. You cannot imagine the joy this brought Lee. </div>

Wade has been SO lucky to be able to use so many of Lee's (& Paul's things.) Here are a few current favorites; the guitar shirt was Paul's, the boots and hat were gifts to Lee when he was <u>2</u>!!

Check out Wade sprawled out ready to hear Mrs. Donna's story. The sheet (AKA a mitten) she is holding coordinates with her book about letting the animals into her mitten out of the winter weather. Wade was not chosen to be an animal, but at the end of the book, I looked up and his little booty was sticking out from under the sheet. Somehow during the song & story, he had inched his way up to her and climbed inside. It was hilarious!<br />

Wade's new favorite song is a Snowman version of "5 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed." He turns on his best behavior when he sees Mrs. Donna get out the sled, and he raises that little hand until she calls on him. I was too slow to capture him on the sled, but the first 2 cuties on here are his best pals, Hayes and Andrew. He loves it and wants me to get out our sled at home so we can sing it some more!!HayesFamilyHappeningshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03263552338021192310noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5305567255249857335.post-88813500043528465162013-01-28T22:51:00.000-06:002013-01-28T22:51:19.214-06:00Lee's Big Day<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At my last eye exam, I mentioned to our eye doctor that Matt and I both started wearing glasses in 3rd Grade, and I wondered if it was time for Lee to come in for an exam. He said that one of us could just let him tag along at our next appointment.</div>

I knew immediately what the outcome would be when he asked the doctor if he was showing him shapes or letters. To say I was crushed would be the understatement of the year. He has shown NO signs of not being able to see clearly. Our doctor is amazing and reassured us that is not "blind" like Matt and me, but he definitely needed some corrective lenses. Lee teared up briefly and then was pretty pumped when Dr. Josh told him it was time to pick out his glasses. </div>

While I was updating Matt, who was in the other exam room, Lee had selected his own frames out of about 100 choices. (He did NOT get this from me, by the way!) The tech suggested we try different shapes, weights, and materials. He was so cooperative and did exactly as she asked. In the end, he went back to his original selection. We were all pretty thrilled with his reaction. We waited about 15 minutes for the lenses to be fitted, and he got to wear them to school. He was greeted like a rock star by the office staff and his classmates. He said the best reaction came from Mrs. Karen, who "leapt over the other kids to get to me."

Lee finished his pottery class and had the CUTEST things to bring home. He was so, so proud of his collection. Mrs. Janice really worked hard and helped the kids make quality items, and they learned to paint and glaze this time, too. I am amazed at how far he has come since the Spring class. I suggested that he select some of his work to give as Christmas gifts, but he wouldn't hear of it. So we have pottery pieces all over the house! He was already looking forward to moving up to the next level in the Spring, but our sweet teacher/friend/neighbor, Mrs. Janice was just diagnosed with breast cancer, so she will have the much bigger job of getting healthy in the Spring. I would love it if you would join our family in praying for her complete and speedy recovery. We love her so!</div>

I decided a few years ago that our family would provide 6 boxes in honor </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of our 6 nieces and nephews. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids and I shop together and select items that are age appropriate for each kid, which this year ranged in ages from 4 to 17! We have a ton of fun shopping together for the boxes, and it is a great way for our kids to see a small way how to give back to others less fortunate and share the love of Jesus with them.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since we have no idea where in the world our boxes will land, we decided to send drawings and colored pages in our boxes, instead of the letters we've written in the past. We pray that our boxes make it to the destination of greatest need and that they will provide the same joy to the child as we had packing it.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Since we paid for our shipping online, we registered our boxes and received a confirmation a few weeks later that our boxes were sent to Madagascar. The boys thought that was SO cool. I told them it would be easy to remember that when they prayed for the kids who received our boxes. </div>

Wade's new favorite song at Story Hour is "Turkey Pokey." He especially loves getting to be the one to lead it with Mrs. Pam. My favorite part is when you "put your tail feathers in, you put your tail feathers out, you put your tail feathers in and you shake them all about!" Cutest.thing.ever.</div>

It didn't take long for us to come out of our layers.The weather could not have been more perfect. Some friends from Obion County joined us, which made it even more fun.<br />
