Easter FUN, take two!

We went to Bullard for Easter. We had so many Easter egg hunts. Carter had a blast!


Carter coloring eggs with Gran.Landon watching Carter color eggs and eating applesauce!
Carter stuffing the eggs for Easter and Landon thinking he is really "cool".

Sorry if you have a weak stomach. Landon is on "added rice" formula for his reflux. So his spit up looks like cottage cheese (read the blanket he is laying on). Rich thought this was so funny!

Carter sporting his Savannah, Ga shirt. Thanks Alicia and Clay!
We went to a Easter egg hunt at Aunt Pam's church. Family photo... (minus Landon, who was home napping with Gran and Papa).
Afterwards, we went to a picnic with friends and family at the Brookshire Rec Area...on Lake Palestine.
Landon all smiles!
Carter flying a kite. Nick and Carson were there, too.
Eating hamburger and hotdogs!
Easter morning....Landon says "Wow, the Easter Bunny left me a basket".
And this really strange bunny....
Carter opening all of his eggs...

After church, the family came over for ham.
Papa and Landon "chilling" after full tummies!

Easter FUN!

Picnic at the Park

It is such a pretty day today! We went to the park and had a picnic...

Easter outfits

I took the boys to Portrait Inovations today for pictures. For 9.95, you can pick one pose and get a TON of pictures. It sure is harder finding one GOOD pose when you have two boys you are trying to get to smile at the same time. This was the best one I could find....this is a picture I took of the actual picture (so the quality is a little different). I really wanted one of Landon smiling, but all the ones where he was smiling either didn't have Carter smiling or didn't show his big, round brown eyes (basically his eyes were squinting). Oh well...we will try again next time. For $10, I thought this was pretty good...

Since it was rainy ALL day yesterday, I took the easel down (from upstairs) and Carter painted for over an hour. Landon was very content watching him the ENTIRE time.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

On St Patty's Day

This is my prayer for you to keep

This beautiful Irish blessing

For your heart to know eternal peace.

May the sweetness of a child

Delight you with their song

And may the best of your life

Be the rest of your life

With the love of God to rest upon.

May all your days be many

As the sands upon the shore,

And may your lips lilt ever more

With praises from your soul

And for this time we have to be

In all that we might do,

May my prayers be with you my dear friend

And this blessing stay with you

Our Week...

Sorry I haven't posted all week. I had the worst virus EVER. I was running 104 temp and my entire body hurt. A big thanks to the Paddacks for watching the boys. There is no way I could have done it and Rich was working most of the time.

After I recovered from that, I spent the week "catching up". Laudry, housecleaning, etc... Rich did a good job keeping the house cleaned while I was sick, but one day with my boys back and it looked like a tornado had passed by!

Friday night we went to eat Mexican with some friends. Yesterday, we went to a bday party/open house for some friends. A guy that Rich worked with is opening up his own tire shop and the party was at the shop. We had good food and great conversation with friends. Here are some pics from our week...

Living Room (Snow Pictures Below)

I rearranged my living room this week. I am mainly posting this for my Mom (I tried my best to describe it to her).

This is why I love Texas!

It was in the 80's on Sunday, snowed on Monday, 60's on Tuesday and Wednesday and then TONS of snow today! I took Carter out-of-school today at 12:30 because I couldn't stand that he was missing the snow!


Here is a picture out our front door. We have had tons more snow since this was taken.
Landon all bundled up for our doctors appt. this morning.When I brought Carter home, he patiently waited THREE LOOOONG hours for the big kids to get off the bus so that he could go play with them. You can see a little snow out the window. This was about 1:00 today.
This is about as far as Landon got out the door.....too cold!
Carter at about 3:00...still waiting on those silly big kids. Trying to eat snow...
Our Aggie snowman...
More snow...
This is after playing for 2 hours with the big kids. Making snowmen, snowfights, etc...He is so tired in this picture.

Hopefully we will have more snow pics tomorrow. It is suppose to snow more tonight.

Making progress on food!

Okay, so he still doesn't "Love" it...but he will at least swallow it! He has had Sweet Potatoes and Green Beans. He didn't know what to think about those green beans...
Reading to my boys! To think I used to rock Carter in that same chair...

Blog under construction!

In attempt to find an Easter background, I have messed up the layout of the blog...check back at a later date for "the new and improved" blog! Landon is hungry and he says he can't wait!

Our week in a "nutshell".

Texas weather is crazy! It is in the 70's on Sunday...it snows last night...and today it is 60 and sunny! Crazy. I was really hoping the snow would stick and Carter would get to stay home from school today and play in it. No such luck! I guess Landon liked the cold morning, though. He went to bed at 7:30 last night and slept until 10:00 this morning (he usually wakes up between 7:30-8:00)

Last weekend, Carter had his first soccer game. His team name is the "Mighty Tornadoes", but we were very excited his unifoms were "Aggie" color.

Warming-up. It was a chilly morning.
Landon got all bundled up to show his support.
Carter did not score a goal, but he did kick the ball a few times.
Landon's support didn't last long...
That night, we went out-to-eat at Gloria's with our friends Kirsten, Rodney and Grayson (who just turned one).
On Monday, Carter got his first stripe on his belt at karate. He was very excited! After you are there for so many classes, you can get your stripe if you know your phone #, address and how to call 911.

We are getting ready for a neighborhood garage sale this weekend. I came across the outfit on the left. It is a long-leg, long-arm outfit. This is what Landon was suppose to wear home from the hospital. The one on the right is what he wears now. He didn't end up wearing the outfit on the left because while Rich and I were watching a CPR video (had to do this before we could take him home from NICU), the nurse got him all ready in his car seat for us. I didn't have the heart to take him out and change him after that.

Landon HATES tummy time, but will look at himself in the mirror for a little bit. He will then either roll over to his back or just throw his arms down by his side and scream bloody murder!

And here is my brown-hair, brown-eyed, bald-head BEAUTY!

It has taken me forever to write this post. In the middle of it, I put Landon down for nap. I do have to say that both of my boys have always been wonderful at going to bed, on their own (and not requiring forever rocking). So...I put Landon in bed and come downstairs. After a little bit, he starts screaming so I go upstairs to rock him. I get him out, rock him and within 5 minutes he is sound asleep. When I go to put him back in bed, I see that there is POOP all over the bed (no wonder he was screaming). He had a blow out and I had been rocking him with poop all over him and now me! And NO, I did not smell it! So...I clean him up, clean me up, and the bed and now he is wide awake. He actually giggled on the way back down the stairs. Stinker!

Have a great week!
