IM SOOOOO BEHIND

0k so i havent updated since maddox was 3 months old and hes almost 10 months old now! wow i need to get with the program, im going to hurry and update and i will have to add pictures later. so theres alot to catch up on, first of all can i just say how excited i am that 3 of my favorite friends r having little babies! i cant wait! congrats mand, moke, and ky, i love you guys. ok so maddox is growing so fast its crazy to me, he crawls like a stink bug everywhere he goes, he walks along furniture, hes practicing try to stand alone, he says mama, dada, baba, and uh-oh. he loves bath time and anytime its time to eat lol. merrick and him play together so cute, its so fun to hear them laughing and playing. i always have to tell merrick to make sure his money and little things r picked up so maddox doesnt choke on them because everything goes to his mouth so now he thinks that applies to everything. i was cutting up lettuce today and merrick wanted a piece and then he asked if he could take johnny a piece and i said i dont know if daddy wants any lettuce and merrick looks at me and says "oh, he will choke?" lol it made me laugh and then johnny was holding an extension cord and merrick grabbed it from him and said no no daddy you will choke. lol what a kid. he likes to try and carry maddox and maddox thinks its funny but it worries me maddox is almost as big as merrick lol. they are such entertainment during my day. well since last time u updated merrick as turned 3 we did a toy story theme party and everybody played in the water and we had a bbq, it was alot of fun. johnny has continued to work hard and like his job at dugout. im so proud of how hard he works hes an amazing man. we had our 4 year anniversary! it has went by so fast. we had little night out, went to dinner, a nice quiet dinner without 500 pee breaks with a 3 year old is always nice lol. we took a vacation to durnago to see johnnys family. johnny rode his harley and i followed in the car with boys. i was nervous because it was a long drive but the boys did great and we stopped enough that they got to take some breaks from the car. we were there about a week. it was nice to catch up and see everybody. merrick finally became completely potty trained meaning no pull ups at night time. he still has an accident here and there but he loves his big boy underwear lol. we have had some massive wind storms in elmo. one day the wind picked up out trampoline and hucked it into johnnys bike and into the raod, it mangled it so no more trampoline :( and it hit my air conditioner on my house at ripped it half way off. johnny was at work. his bike only had one little borken peice on the brake but in harley terms thats alot of moolah$$$. he wasnt too happy when he got home and see what happened but my dad helped me with his bike to amke sure it ran ok, so i had to reassure him that his bike was alive and well lol. i have been making it my goal to get back in shape and it was so much easier in high school than it is now after 2 kids lol. ive started doin Insanity its an interval training workout and holy moly is it tough. the instructor fall on the floor at the end of the workout! thats really ressuring to me lol! but if ur wanting to get in shape i highly recomend it! so now i just need to stick with it! i have also started couponing a bit. im starting to get the hang of it. i go graocery shopping once every 2 weeks. and it makes me sick how muich everything costs. i still spend alot but my last 2 shopping trips i have saved $92 and $113. once i get my pantry stocked then i will only have to buy produce and milk and baby stuff so im getting there. im sure theres alot more i could continue with in my novel but i will end it here and add pcitures asap!
