Boyd Babes

Family, Humor, Mommy Blogger, Uncategorized

I want to remember every little thing. I joke about the crazy school pick ups and drop offs with three, the shopping sprees from hell, the sleepless nights and the chaos that comes with being a working mom but I love every second of it. I didn’t know my purpose in life until I had my littles and now I know. This family is going to try their best to spread love, humor and hope through our actions through our faith, through our love for each other and others, and through our music. This is a selfish post about where my babies are at right now in this phase of life so that it gets immortalized on the internet.

Jax got his report card this week and all “E’s” except in grammar but let’s be honest all men typically have trouble in this department. He is a genius and a leader in school. He comes home every day he is with us, gives his siblings some love and heads straight to the keyboard. Right now he has written two beautiful songs, he knows how to play the Indiana Jones themes, and he knows 2-3 classical songs that he is OBSESSED with. This kid is something else on a BMX bike. His mama and Craig are really into BMX so it is looking like that might be his thing. He has been riding since he was 1.5 years old and it’s crazy to see him flying on a bike down a track at 6 years old. We call Jax “Bubba”, Bud”, and “Action Jaxon” because this kid has athleticism and balance in his bones.

Kota Lynn aka “Babydoll” aka “Stinkerbelle” aka “SassMcGee” is all of these things and then some. Her most recent accomplishment is joining us other humans in peepeeing on the potty! We still do “dipe dipes” at night but honestly she probably doesn’t need them (Side note: I hope everyone finds that special someone that looks you deep in the eyes… the same way my toddler stares into my soul when she is sitting on the pot pooping). Her most fav characters are Mickey and Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Her funniest phrases are “I’m dum” (I’m DONE), when she reads me books they always end with “Amen”, every baby is baby Jesus, and she LOVES “im-skee” (ice cream). She sings everything everywhere and LOUD. She is very opinionated on what she does and doesn’t like when shopping and her favorite things to play are doctor and makeup. She is really coming into her own at 3 years old and it. is. terrifying.

BABY GRAY. I need to do a whole blog on this kid because he has done some exceptionally insane things recently. He is the great dane puppy I never had and always wanted. He has no idea of his strength or size. He walks around like a bow-legged cowboy thats been riding a horse for 37 years with his hands on his gun holsters. He loves giving open mouth kisses but then he will give you a sweet little head butt right after. His nicknames include “BamBam”, “Mr.” and “Gray Gray”. This little ball of man has been walking since 8.5 months old and really didn’t want to be a baby. I think having older siblings will do that to a kid. His most recent accomplishments include eating 2-3 bananas a day (if anyone knows anything about potassium over load text me, it’s a real concern), he climbs tables chairs and our pantry, and his first real actual words were “Tank Tou” (Thank you). One of my top 5 proudest parent moments 🙂

Update on the parents: We are now sleeping much much better. We learned Gray didn’t like co-sleeping/cuddling and does MUCH better in his crib all night with a sleep schedule. Jaxon is now rocking in his big boy room and most of the time Kota likes to sleep in there with him. We try and spend individual special time with each kiddo throughout the week and will keep that going forever. Now that everyone is older and we have the best babysitters we have been able to do a few recent date nights. So fun but always ready to come home to my babies by the end of the night. Right now Craig and I are slammed in business but our kids are the inspiration to keep it going and our love keeps this house sane. Kinda.

    As one of those humans who chose the ‘focus on my career’ route, I just have to say, you make me think about what might have been & that’s not at all meant to be a downer! The Boyd’s and their every day life show the world Inspiration in it’s purest form. And, you add humor, laughter & reality to the mix. God bless you all because you are SO inspirational to so many. Finally, the fact that you share with the world, not just the good, but also the challenging, is truly the real inspiration. Thanks for keeping it real and for accepting the crazy, too! Love y’all. ❤

      I so respect and love you for going the route you did. I was on the same path for a bit and being a mom is not harder/better than being a strong independent woman other peoples kids can look up to.

    From the lyrics of an old Wayne Watson song.

    Oh, the pleasure of watching
    The children growing
    Is mixed with a bitter cup
    Of knowing the watercolour ponies
    Will one day ride away

    Cherish each and every moment. You definitely know your purpose in life. When you raise them in a home centered around love and beautiful chaos…you are doing something right. Give me the chaos of raising a family any day of the week…because my watercolour ponies have ridden away! Tay… Jax, Kota, and Gray are absolutely precious! You Mom… EXEMPLIFY motherhood!

    Thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us. The best gift you can give your children is a strong foundation in God, and I applaud you for doing exactly that. Being rooted and grounded in faith will guide them through everything else in life. Life isn’t always glamorous, easy, or perfect, but the reward of having raised up good-hearted, godly children will be a source of great joy and satisfaction as the years pass. Your children are blessed to have such caring and loving parents. God bless y’all!
