Owin Already workin' MOM

Owin has become quite the little kisser, and he knows just when he should do it like when he is getting in trouble. He already knows how to work me, this isn't good right, at 18 months he shouldn't know this! Well here is the story.

My little man has quite the arm on him, and he should considering that his entire life has basically been spent at a baseball field or at basketball gym. He throws his Binky and has very good aim with it! On Saturday he got me right smack in the middle of the eye, it water and was funny, a few minutes later boom he gets Jeremy in the eye, and that was funny! Jeremy and I take full responsibility for this new problem cause we laugh & clap & say good throw Owin at everything he does. Ok so here is the part that melted me... I got him out of the tub Sunday getting him dried off diapered teeth brush you know. He takes his binky throws it right square in the middle of my eye. He laughs but I am not. I am getting on to him and he knows he is in trouble he had that fear like oh crap I made her mad. So as I am shaking my finger and saying no, no, you don't throw it at momma & if you throw it again we are throwing it in the trash, he bends down in kisses me, I just stopped and tried saying it again, yeah didn't work cause he kisses me again, He knows what he is doing, it made me laugh and cry at the same time. Jeremy couldn't believe that he already was doing this & I melted, but really how could you not!

My little man amazes me everyday how he knows already exactly what Jeremy and I tell him or how he just says its Hot. Its crazy to think that it has already been 18 months it really has went by fast. He is one of a kind!

Benjamin's Day as a Mudhen...

We spent our Saturday playing baseball yestrday. Benjamin played with the Mudhens in a tournament in Blanchard. It was a fun day HOT but a lot cooler than it has been! He played with my two nephews Benjamin Davis, & Jackson Phelps. It was nice, I haven't got to see them play so much cause we all play on the same nights, so it was good to finally watch these two also! They won 3rd place in this tournamet played four games. Jeremy had told Benjamin that he would not yell at him that this would be fun and a good experience for him, well we all know Jeremy can't help himself, Benjamin hit the ball & I guess forgot to run I don't know why or how he forgot this part but he did! We all yelled RUN! Anyway after trying to explain why Jeremy yelled at him when he said he wouldn't Benjamin laid down a bunt and things were better a smile on his face finally! He started out a bit nervous I think, he won't admit it though! The boys called him "butter" he wore a jersey of this boy who wasn't there named Utter, so they called him "butter" and the "Utterone" which was Caitlins favorite! Jeremy for the first 2 games got to see how fun it is to chase Owin around however he did get a bruise on the back of his head on Jeremy's watch! But we are over that!!LOL! Anyway Owin and Riley played together, Caitlin took pictures which is why she is not in any of these cause she took most of them as the boys played! Benjamin said after it was over walking to the car,"that this was a good thing for him, he met new people, laid down a bunt, and got another trophy" he is growin up and it was nice to hear him say that & realize that! It was a nice day here are some of the pictures of the boys!

My Family

Hi I have decided to join the bloggers I know. After reading several of my families & friends blogs I decided this was a great way to keep a record of all the little funny day to day things these little Paynes like to do or say! So here is my little Family. This picture was taken on fathers day and it is quite hard to get eveyone to coroperate, they all have extremely different personalities!

Jeremy and I were marrried three years ago as most of you know, and Caitlin and Benjamin live with us full time now and Owin completed our little family! The kids are interested in many things from basketball, dance & baseball & Owin goes along and watches not patiently but he watches!

Caitlin is ten and a huge help! She acts older than she is and right now that is a great thing. She is a great big sister and helper around the house. She loves to dance and plays basketball but she is thinking of playing softball now! So we will see! She loves her brothers and helps keep them in line!

Benjamin is a ballplayer he is seven and believe it or not the most challenging of the three! He is a picky eater which I can say gives me fits, I mean have you seen a kid puke by eating one little squash or green bean, and will only eat bean burritos from Taco Bell but hates beans anywhere else. He keeps me on my toes. He has become quite the little ball player most of our weekends in the summer are spent playing baseball and he makes it fun!

And Owin he is my baby. He is a lot of work as well, I think its a boy thing! He is a very busy, busy toddler! He has a laugh and a cry that are so much a like its unreal! He wants to do everything his brother and sister does. Caitlin has taught him to clog and Benjamin has taught him to get into a catcher stance and say "hey batter batter batter swing batter!" He really is special at least I think so!


Well thats a little bit about my people. Most of you already know this. But I will share the funny stories or the stressful days with you. I never understood how much joy, and heartache a child can bring to you until these three children, they have there own uniqueness that I love and everyday they surprise me. unitl next time!
