SOME SPOILED BOYS THEY ARE...

JEX got a sweet new ride from grandma & pa Barber..
During the day we went out to grandma & pa Barber's as always they had an awesome food lay out yum,yum and then we have started this fun game of survivor were they buy a bunch of random gifts and they give us monopoly money and Layne will come out with something under the box and we get to bid on it and the highest bidder wins it is so much fun cause you never know what you will get sometimes it's a box of markers or a $50 dollar bill???
Here are they boys pile of presents i think it took a good half hour for them to open all of them,it was quite entertaining to watch them..
This is TYCE after he tackled my mom cause he was so excited over one of his presents..

Thanks to all our families for such another great Christmas we love you all!!!

LITTLE JEX MAN...

WOW what can I say,we had quit the roller coaster for a minute there,Jex lately has been complaining of headaches and once in awhile he will grab his head and start crying saying it hurts so we decided to take him to see his doctor and as a precaution she had a MRI done on his head..anytime you hear those words you tend to panic but thanks to all of our family and friends we were very comforted and blessed!It was pretty amazing to see everyone come together for our little man!Luckily we got the test results right away and everything looks great they are thinking it is sinus's that are bugging him but what the morning it was the unknown was killing me,he could have not been any better there were all these kids crying so I thought for sure that would scare him but no our little tough guy didn't even cry when he got his IV,he just wanted me to take pictures of him!!!I just want to tell everyone how much I love and appreciate all the support it means so much to me and i'm so so grateful all your prayers and fasting definetly helped!!!Also I sweet little Tyce even fasted for his brother how cute is that we didn't tell him he had to he just let us know that's what he wanted to do!!We love you lot's our little Bucket...
