"He Did It!"...The Nephew Chronicles

These are my nephews folks. And when I say they are different as night and day...I mean they are different as night and day. Matthew is the tall one. He is 14 1/2 years old. He is a freshman in highschool and stands about 5'9~5'10 so far. Jaylend is the shorty:) He is 5 years old (September) He is in Kindergarten and he stands about 3'0 so far. My sister had these buggers far apart Right! I always said that I would not have my children so far apart...but my sister's case was a little bit different.

When she was pregnant with Matt I was in my last year of highschool. We were so excited because this was the first grandchild for our family...well, for my mother, kim and I that is. All of a sudden during her pregnancy, she got real sick. I mean deathly sick. She was constantly throwing up. She lost wayyyyyy to murch weight. She looked bad ya'll. My sister was so ill that she couldn't even drink water! She threw everything up folks... she was miserable:

*what she had: Ipecacuanha~Tabacum (don't ask)

This is when intense and constant nausea is felt all day (not only in the morning) with retching, belching, and excessive salivation. The woman may feel worse from lying down, but also worse from motion. Even after the woman vomits, she remains nauseous. The woman feels a ghastly nausea with a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach. She looks extremely pale, feels very cold and faint, and needs to lie very still and keep her eyes closed. If she moves at all, she may vomit violently-or break out in cold sweat and feel terrible.* She almost died. As a matter of fact she flat lined on the examining room table. Well needless to say she gave birth and he was/is just fine...as you can see by the pic *one eyebrow raised* Anyway after that horrible experience she said she wasn't having anymore babies, and for a while we thought she meant that ish:) That is until almost 10 years later when Jaylend came along. She had that same problem while pregnant with him and when he was born...snip! snip! The baby department was shut down! So there is the reason for the 10 year gap if you will.

Okay so the reason for this post is my nephews say the darndest things man! They are so funny! I am of course off from work due to my eye and on Tuesdays I have to pick up my nephew Jaylend from school. I thought he was going to the after school care, but she wasn't there when I arrived to drop him off. So I kept him with me...allllllll day folks. Well somewhere around 5ish my Mother rang and she asked me where Matt was. I of course did not know. I mean he has to take the bus and train home shooks he could be in route somewhere. So she makes dinner and we sit down to eat...still no Matt. Come to find out after he called about 6:45ish, he was at Basketball practice. Well Jaylend yells out during the phone conversation..."No you not...You Brat!" Matt starts yelling back into the phone at Boog (Jaylend) "Shut up! Fat boy! Fo I punch you in your throat." Now mommy and I are used to this kind of behavior from them. One is tall and skinny and the other is short and round...so they argue and fight and call one another names all the time. Boog may be 5, but he can hang with the best of them. So I tell Matt to hurry up and get home so he can get his brother. Well when he gets home Boog is standing at the door with his arms folded and tapping his little foot on the floor as if to say..."where you been?" Matt comes in and they start at it again. Now Boog thinks he's Matt's age and height or something cause they begin to wrestle with one another and Boog was getting the best of Matt. Although I believe Matt let's him get away with most of that. I come out of the other room and they have literally destroyed my living room. I say "What are the two of you doing? Look at this room boys! Now what?" They look at each other and say...that's right..."HE DID IT!" I helped them clean up and Mom took them home...I love them ol rug rats...they keep me young:)
