I don't have anything special to blog about. I'm just tired of looking at the banana. I could come up with a spiritual illustration here. Something like, "Don't we all have bananas hidden somewhere that are old and rotten, but we just can't bare to rid of them? I had to pry that nasty banana out of Nash's hand...little did he know I had a ripe, non-bruised one waiting for him." Okay, okay, I won't whip out a sermon on you this evening. :)
A few Aylor tidbits....I enjoy saying the word tidbit by the way:
*Nash got sent home from school today due to a possible case of pink-eye. A quick trip to the doctor ruled that one out. I didn't think it was pink-eye, but we needed to check it out anyway. It's just part of his never ending cold. More Nash News: He is being a little trouble maker at school. We now call him our "bite-sized bully". He pushes friends, stands on chairs, etc. A typical 17 month old with an older brother, I suppose. He is pretty tough. I think the 2nd child has to be in order to survive. On a different note, he's got a great arm...he can throw a baseball better than his big brother. Shhh, don't tell Braxton, but Nash may be our little athlete. He can hit the ball off the tee and everything!
*Braxton wants to learn to play the guitar. Music may be his niche. He made this known as we were watching American Idol tonight. He is concerned with having to sing though. He said, "If I play the drums I don't have to sing...the drummer doesn't sing. But I really want to play the guitar." Smart kid with the drum comment. We'll look into guitar lessons if he's serious.
*Steve and I are getting ready to attend a youth pastor's conference in a few weeks. It will be my first time to leave the boys, EVER!! I am gearing up and getting emotionally ready to be away from them. It will be a good thing...for the boys and for mom and dad. We are excited and looking forward to time alone (sort of alone...when we're not in meetings). Did I mention the conference is in Destin? Great location, not excited to wear a swimsuit in a few weeks though. I will post more on our trip later.
I hope all is well with my blogging buddies! I haven't had a lot of time to comment on your posts, but I do check your sites often and LOVE seeing pictures and hearing your stories. I have so many great blogging friends....check out their links on the right.
Hopefully I will be more interesting next time....at least you don't see the banana first thing anymore.

There are four of us...2 squirmy boys, one hard working man, and one woman trying not to lose herself in the mist of it all. Structure...can we maintain it amongst the chaos? Oh yes, yes we can!
About Me
- Kathryn
- Why Structured Chaos?? I am a creature of habit. I am a rule follower. I like routine and I'm often thrown for a loop if things don't go as planned. I like structure. But many times my chaos IS my structure! I am married to a student minister, whose schedule is not the norm. I have 2 rowdy boys who love their momma and want so much of me. I am also a first grade teacher who is returning to the classroom this fall. I've got a lot whirling around me and I'm trying to organize my chaos the best I can. This blog is just a glimpse into my world with my boys, my thoughts on life, and sometimes just a place to ramble. We all need an outlet right? Why not make it on the world wide web? Welcome to my Structured Chaos!

Your first time to EVER leave the boys?? We did that last summer for the first time. I thought it would be had but it was a blast! Glad you don't have pink eye running through the family and as for Nash,I think that is really common for the second child who has an old brother. Gav wants to learn to play the guitar also. He and Ellie both strum one that was given to Gavin when he was younger. I think it would be awesome for them to learn to play. Let me know if you sign BA up for lessons and how he likes them! Hope you guys have a FANTASTIC trip! I'm Jealous!!
Tell him his Uncle Conn learned to play at 5. Maybe it would be a good birthday present!!
I can't believe you have NEVER let the boys. You are crazy! :)
We are going on a pastors/wives retreat in two weeks. But, it is only for 2 nights and it is in Galveston.
Call me!!!
we just left our kids for 6 day for the first time. We loved every minute. The kids didn't really miss us. It was so good for the two of us to be alone. Enjoy and remember - the kids will survive.
You tell that little B that he would be an AWESOME drummer! Crazy Julie said so! (oh, and some drummers do sing, little man....they are the really talented ones! lol)
Wow....I want to go with to Destin. You will have so much fun. You will be sad for about....hmmmm...1 hour! hah!! Seriously...I ditto...the kids won't miss you. Really......have a BLAST!
Oh my gosh...I tried to edit my comment...guess I deleted the first one, sorry!
nash's behavior is par for the course! oh the benefits of being the little brother!
