I am sure this has happened to any of you that have kids but it just hit me that my little Konner man is not so little any more. On Monday night we were hanging out at my mom and dads house and my mom says to konner "One of these days you should come to my house and have a sleep over." He was excited and asked if he could sleep at her house that night. well we didnt have any of his stuff so we decided it would be better to plan first. So Konner wakes up on tuesday morning and says "Mom lets call grandma Tucker and see if i can sleep there tonight." I hand Konner my phone and he knows how to get to her number in the contacts so he calls her. He asks her if he can sleep over at her house tonight. Of course she said yes (she is a grandma....ha) Ok so i know he is just going to my moms house to sleep over but still... i imediatly started getting nervous because he has never slept away from me or dusty. I tried to act excited and help him get his stuff packed but inside i was freaking out. He said he needed his pack pack that has his little lightning Mcqueen sleeping bag in it, his dinosaur jammies, his pull up... oh and his bink. so we get everything packed up and i take him over to my moms. he gets out of the car and wants to carry his own stuff and then he says "Mom just take me in the house then you can leave if you want" (if i want... was that so he didnt hurt my feelings?) so i take him inside and ask him if he can give me a love and a kiss and he says...... "nah not today." what the!! so i tried to stay as long as possible and talk to my mom to see what they were going to be doing and make sure she knows that she can call me to come pick him up at any time if he needs me. I finally leave and the whole way home i was so sad.. well i am not sure if sad is the word but it really just hit me that konner is not a baby any more. I called as soon as i got home (and 80 more times before i went to bed....well maybe not quite that many) and every time i called i got the same answer. he is fine we are just playing games and having popcorn and watching movies and drinking pop. I really didnt sleep that good because i was to worried about Konner. I really dont know what i am going to do when he starts school... So any way i guess there is no way to make them stay small..... I took some pictures of him all ready to go so i will post them alittle later.

Awwww! This makes me soooo sad! I got all teary eyed reading it. I am definitely not looking forward to Kendall growing up. If I had it my way I think I would have loved her staying 6 months old forever! She is already too old I think. :) Wayne on the other hand can't wait for her to get older so she can do more with him!
You might actually think I am crazy . . . but one of these years you will feel EXCITED to have a night without kids :)
I remember that first sleepless night away from sammy...now it is almost opposite...that girl can SNORE!! LOL!!
Hey -- I have been so busy this summer. Just got to my blog today because the lady I work with told my I had a couple of comments. I will try to update something by next month. Your blog is nice!! The kids are adorable!! Love ya :)
Oh how cute are you? I have already left Stella 3 times overnight, maybe I should start feeling bad! JK You are good to be worried but I have learned that Grandmas take care of our kids almost as good as we do. I hope that Konner had a great time!
I was telling my mom how Konner had dark hair as a baby...so we came on here to show her how blonde he is now. She thinks he is a VERY handsome little boy. :) Those are some adorable pictures. SOunds like he had a fun night with his grandma. I'm SURE I'll be the same way the first time Avery spends the night away from home.
