Hi, I’m a bad blogger.

Yeah, no other title for this. This will be another “catch-up” entry. Not sure why I’ve been neglecting this, but I hope to get better. Let’s see, I last blogged last Monday, so let’s start with Tuesday, shall we?

Tuesday seems to be my “cell phone photo” day. Brock had his 6 month appointment on Tuesday. Boy, do I hate these appointments. He definitely does not like getting his shots. I mean, who would? This photo was taken while we were waiting for his shots….

Wednesday, Gav and I rearranged his room. I also found out that he decided to steal a marker and color on Woody’s face. Shame on him ;) He’s become obsessed with reading (yay!!!) so I thought moving his bookshelf closer to his bed would be good. Jon and I snuggle in bed with him and read him a bedtime story. He loves it!!

B thought really hard about stealing Gav’s Buzz car. He tried really hard to grab it… no luck.

Later, I heard Gav in the bathtub. I knew there was no water. He was naked, playing with a bar of soap. *sigh* He also found Jon’s glasses and had to try them on. Does he look like his dad?

Thursday was a great day!!! Not only was B super duper cute in his Lightning McQueen jammies, but he learned to sit! Well, tripod, but still sitting!!! :)

How cute is he???

Gav was jealous of B’s jams, so he went and found some Mater ones. Yeah, size 12 months.

Gav also decided  he will be the one to feed Brock. Hey, works for me…. as long as B gets a bath afterwards!!

Friday. Jon stayed home (woo hoo!) and the boys took me out to eat at Joe’s Crab Shack. Yum-o! Gav got a balloon sword. Well, actually he got 2. One popped and they had to make him another. Talk about tears!!!

Saturday, I took B’s 6 month photos. I am making a separate post for them because they’re way too cute to get lost in this post!!

Sunday. Jon went to Columbus to work on our rental… joy…. The boys and I stayed home.

Monday. Just lounged again. It’s a little too chilly to get the boys in and out of the car. Sorry this photo looks so blue. I just noticed it. Not going to fix it ;)

Tuesday…

Brock can get anywhere he wants by rolling. He’s our little Roly Poly! :) Here he is sneaking things off of the coffee table…

Choosing carefully….

Going for the movie… nope, the magazine!

Gav wasn’t feeling too well.

Wednesday (Today!!) Silly boy.

“No, Mom! Take pictures Brocky!”

Next entry, 6 month photos! Be prepared for chubbiness! :)

A little bit of catching up…

So, are you ready for almost a week’s worth of catching up? Let’s see if I remember everything from last Tuesday on!

Tuesday, the 11th, I was bad. I didn’t take out my camera at all. Why? I have no idea. Lazy. I did get one photo on my phone! I only  had a split second for this photo, so camera phone it was!

Gav put B under the laundry basket. B didn’t care though. He was his normal, happy self and just kept playing.

Wednesday. We had MOPS again, finally!! It was freezing, but we braved the cold and got out of the house. Gav had fun playing in his “class” again. I’m so very thankful we’re able to go to MOPS. That afternoon, the boys were so tired. At nap, Gav had to sleep with all of his toys. Tons of toys!

Brock was a happy little guy when he woke up!

Thursday. Brock decided to play with my lens cap, so I decided to take a few photos!

That night, Gav wanted to sleep in his tent. It’s not quite big enough for sleeping, but whatever.

Friday, we went to Columbus. Mama needed a haircut! :) Once again, Sherrie got Gav a new toy! Surprise, another Buzz!!

He wanted a picture with silly Jasper, too.

Saturday. I had a photo session with Miss Taryn. :) I haven’t edited those yet… I’m workin’ on it. Here is a photo I took that day. I had a heck of a time with my setup. Seamless, baseboard, wood floor. I’ll try again with B for his 6 month photos this week! Thankfully, Aaron helped me and we got it! Kind of….

I also got a picture of their standout they ordered from me! Beautiful. A photo of it does not do it justice.

I also went out with my girlfriends that night, but left the camera at home. Oops.

Sunday. We came back home! Only 2 photos on Sunday. My snoozin’ boys! They looked too sweet, so I pulled over and took some photos of them. Don’t you just love Gav’s shirt?

Today!!!! **caught up**

We’ve got a mover. No, B isn’t crawling yet, but he can sure move in circles! See the toys behind him? He was playing with them. Shortly after this photo, he was turned back around playing with them again! :)

I think that’s it for today!!!

Day 3: About me | My first love

Day 3-Your first love

Ahhh... my first love. My first *real* love was Jon. BUT.... If I were to tell you about my first love, I'd have to go back to the second grade. Yes, second grade. His name was Tim... Tim McGraw. No joke. In the second grade, I could see my future. My future as Mrs. Tim McGraw. I honestly thought I'd marry him someday. Then, in the 4th grade, my wonderful parents (actually the Easter bunny) brought me some tickets to see Tim McGraw and Faith Hill in concert. It was the Spontaneous Combustion Tour. I was ECSTATIC!!! The concert was fab... until they kissed. My heart was broken. Still, I knew they'd never work out and we'd be married and have beautiful babies. Yes, at 10 I was planning my babies ;) Then... the announcement came. They were engaged. I was heartbroken. I still love him, though. Even got Jon to go to a concert last year with me. 14 years after that first concert, I still loved it. :) Plus to this concert, no Faith!

That's all for today folks!

Day 2: Blog Name

Day 2-Meaning behind your blog name

Well, this one's easy. The DePratt Family. That's who we are! Also, if you look at the top you'll see "The Boys & Me" is what I've named this. Why? Because I'm surrounded by boys. Even the dog is a boy! Also makes me think of an old Sawyer Brown song with the same name ;) Link to Saywer Brown video.

Now, off to youtube more Sawyer Brown videos. I forgot how much I loved them back in the day!

Happy Tuesday!

I do graphic design work for a small print shop in Miami, OK and I do a little photography for my business Studio D Photography by Heather.

It’s my birthday and a snow day!

Well, happy birthday to me! We got tons of snow. Almost 5 inches as of 1:00 this afternoon and it’s been coming down ever since. I love it! I took the boys out today. Gav and Boss loved it. B didn’t like being bundled up. So, Gav and I came back in and then went back out when B was down for a nap. Here are some photos from the day!

We’ve really enjoyed this snow!! I hope it sticks around a bit.
