Happy Father's Day.....

I am blessed to have wonderful men in my life. My husband is a wonderful father to our kids, they couldn't ask for a better dad! He loves our kids and would do anything for them and the betterment of their lives. What more could a mom ask for? I love to sit back and watch Dustin interact with them, they both light up in his presence.

Both of our dads are wonderful men too....always there for us and supporting us. Our kids are blessed to have such great Gramps and Pops! So, Happy Father's day to Dustin, Pops and Gramps! We love you!

Early Saturday morning.....

I am awake for some unknown reason so I thought I would post a blog....I know you are just waiting on pins and needles for us to update!

If you are in the mood for a good cry and a VERY inspirational story check out this blog:

this little girl is amazing and her families faith in God is such a wonderful testimony.

Ramsey is becoming more and more obsessed with her birthday. She talks about it all the time and asks everyday if it is her birthday. She stole a Learning Express magazine from my sister's house last week and when we get in the car she looks at it and tells me everything she wants in it.....obsessed and spoiled!

Not too much to update about Bryson, he still just eats, sleeps and poops. I think he is getting close to rolling over and his head control is getting better but he still isn't ready for the Bumbo yet. I have to quit calling him "fatty" bc Dustin swears he heard Ramsey walk up to him and say "hey fatty". I hope I am not giving him a complex.....I wish I was that cute with all of my fat!

To all the dad's that read this blog (are there any?) we wish you all a very Happy Father's day. To our dad's.....we love and admire you. Thanks for being such strong pillars in our lives and for always loving and supporting us. (by the way, your cards will be late)

If I could talk.......

I would tell Ramsey a few things:

Please don't place your CareBears, babies, purses or anything else you are playing with at the time in my lap. I am not your personal belongings holder and soon I will probably throw them at you.

I do not need my paci shoved in my face...especially if I am content or sleeping.

If I am sleeping, please don't yell "WAKE-UP" 3 inches from my face.

When I do wake-up, please stop yelling "BROTHER AWAKE" to mommy...odds are she is trying to get my bottle ready and you are just slowing down the process.

I would tell the dogs a few things as well:

Maddi- your breath is HOT and stinks...please don't pant near me

Chi-Chi- your breath is awful too and I certainly don't want you licking me! Mommy has told me stories about you and you are gross.

To both of you, I am NOT going anywhere so please don't look so sad when mommy or daddy comes in the house carrying me. I am here to stay and soon I will throw something at you too!

To Mommy and Daddy:

Mommy- you are not a good singer so please stop making up lame songs and singing them to me. I know I smile and laugh at you but it is only because I feel sorry for you (and the rest of the family).

Daddy- I am going to need you to stop putting so much sports pressure on me. Yes, I know Ramsey got the Astros to the World Series and Tech to the Cotton Bowl but there is only so much this one little baby can do. I will try for the Astros but lets get real here, you aren't even taking me to their game in a few weeks. I can't promise you anything right now except that I will gladly watch sports with you anytime you want.....as long as you have a bottle close by.

I TOTALLY stole this blog idea from Erin but it was such a cute idea I just had to the same thing.....thanks Dunkles!

Always in the car seat....

Looking back at most of the pictures we have of Bryson we started to notice he is in his car seat most of the time. The poor kid is always being carried around with his sister's busy schedule. This picture was taken at cousin Davis' baseball game.....he really was in a good mood that night, you just can't tell by the picture! Daddy LOVES this hat on him!!!

Ramsey and Ava before their dance class today. They both look so cute in their "ball-a-weena" outfits! Ramsey refuses to take off her tap shoes after class so we wear them home and "tap" our way to the car.

That's all I got!

Best day ever......

well, not really but you know your day is going to be ok when you look in the back of your car and find a bottle of wine you had no idea you had!

Actually today has not been that great on the whole mommy/ramsey front. She has been EXTRA whiny today and pretty much says "NO" to anything I say or do. Such is life for an almost 3 year old I suppose. Please tell me that some you mommies go thru the same thing!

Bryson only wants to be fed so I can keep him pretty happy most of the day! Heaven forbid though if you don't have his bottle ready the second he wakes up....then he will let you know how disappointed he is in you.

That's all I got!

Hello slacker....

Yes, I know it has been awhile since my last post. HOWEVER I do have a pretty good excuse.....wait for it......Dustin was out of town this week so I only had time to stalk the blogs I love to read, no time to post!!!

We did have a great week though. Ramsey made it thru her first dance class (thanks to an ice cream bribe). We went swimming a few times - thanks a bunch to Jen and Paul for having us over! Plus, Grammie, Gramps and Great-Grammie A came into town to celebrate cousin Davis' 6th Birthday!!!

We had a great time hanging out with the family and Ramsey got some good sugars from her grandparents.

No pictures to post.....I had no time! (I am riding that excuse train as long as I can)

Teaser alert: I'm going to California!!!! More about that later!

Busy weekend, yet again!

Dustin and Ramsey swimming again. Ramsey can't wait for Grammie and Gramps to take her swimming this weekend! She is signed up for swimming lessons in June and we might do July as well. In the Bettencourt household we now spell s-w-i-m-s-u-i-t otherwise we little miss is stripped down ready to get in it!

This is the face Bryson loves to give you....it just melts my heart and makes me want to squeeze him!

Bryson and Ramsey at the Frisco Rough Riders baseball game. We went with the Maywald's and had a great time sitting in the outfield. As you can tell, Ramsey was in Bryson's face yet again and he is just so thrilled about it!
