Come on any other phase please...

Shawn has started this new thing its called "I lick everything in sight" I have never seen a kid act like this in my life a little licking here and there but not like this he licks the walls, the floor and he doesn't care whether its carpet or tile he will lick it, windows, mom and dad, the dog, the tv, toys, the playground, and anything else he sees.....I am sooo grossed out and worried he is going to get sick and it doesn't matter how many times I try to distract him from what he is doing or time him out for licking really gross stuff he still finds something else to lick......just thought I would share this wonderful phase we are going thru!

Welcome Home Brad !!!!!!

Me, Gary, and the boys drove up Saturday to spend some time with his dad and to welcome Brad home.
Saturday night we met up with his family at the hotel and spent some time with them until bedtime.
Sunday morning we got up and had some breakfast, got ready and headed to the army base....luckily we knew where to go since we waited at the gym last time he came home.
Here is Hunter on our home (the bleachers) for the next 4 hours lol
They had this poster on the ground for the first 3 hours for the kids to draw on for the soldiers and I am pretty sure that Shawn had the most drawing on this poster lol !!
If you click the picture you can see its all him on the word ALL !!
around 2pm they brought in finger sandwiches, fruit, cookies and juice lets just say we were pretty greatful for that...not only were we hungry but we were running out of ideas to keep Shawn busy
The army fireman let Shawn get up in the truck and said he couldn't harm anything little did he know that Shawn would push every button in sight so we had to get him down !
We got an announcement they had landed and were on buses at around 3 something and at 4pm after they turned in all weapons they finally got to come to the gym !!
Brad was in the first bunch to come in !
Here is Shawn wondering what the heck is going on
Here they are our brave soldiers home on US soil !!!
Hunter and Brad
Brad and a very unsure Shawn
3 Generations of Price boys !
When we left Shawn asked for chips and I gave him a bag of Doritos and he fell asleep licking the cheese off of them
The poor thing woke up and kept touching his tongue, finally me and Gary figured out his tongue was probably burning from licking all those chips and then falling asleep without a drink so we had to make a quick detour to get him some juice lol !
Brad we are soooo happy you are home and safe, we couldn't be prouder !!!
