Picture Catch-Up

With a very fun-filled weekend just over, I'm just going to drop some pictures from the past month on here that haven't already found another post.  Enjoy! I think I will have at least one more photo "dump" before it is all said and done.

Mama/Daughter mani/pedis for CC's mother's day

#2, for our anniversary!

Fun at Two Rivers Park below:

waiting for daddy

she spent the afternoon at my work one day and was SO excited to eat with the First Graders. Can you see???? And Owen (the boy next to her) opened her yogurt for her and she was starstruck. Uh Oh.

#1 for Mother's Day!

My Other Mother's Day Presents!

And one more, engraved frame for my office. :)

Stud.

FOUR YEARS!!!

Woohoo it's our anniversary! We've already been out to celebrate Wednesday night to Big Orange for dinner and then to get a very exciting gift for me. A new iPhone! Woohoo again!  We had a great time just the two of us, while CC held down the fort with the kids at home.  Thanks, CC!  The 4th anniversary is "flowers" or "fruit" traditional gifts (we try to follow those) so I got flowers at my office that are gorgeous, and Birc got some Harry and David pears in the mail! We were both surprised and excited about our gifts for each other :)

Can't believe I'm so lucky to be married to such a handsome, fun, smart, silly, perfect person! I love you Birc!

I would like to go back to our HONEYMOON for a few days.  It was perfect, you know.

Or our awesome Rehearsal Dinner.  That was fun too!

Mainly our wedding day! It went by WAY TOO FAST (I'm sure I'm not the only one who thinks this?)  I wish we could do it all over again because it was so perfect and fun.

Well anyway, I love you Birc, way more than I did on this day, and I didn't think that was possible! You're the best daddy to Savannah and Walker and take such great care of us.  We are all lucky but I am especially lucky you are mine!

New Look!

I got a new look.  Hope you like it! We were about a year due for an update. :)

Walker's Teeth

Walker got his first tooth on Friday, April 25 (lower right) and his second (lower left) on Sunday April 27! They came in bang bang.  He looks so adorable but so big with teeth. If you'll remember, Savannah got no teeth until almost 12 months and then she didn't get any beyond her bottom two for 2 more months.  So this seems so early!  But anyway, here are the best pictures and then the hilarious outtakes of us trying to get a picture of his teeth.  (Seriously, the things we do to our kids for a photo)

(I mean for real.)

All smiles now!

Cute kids!

And look below, my handsome husband rocking Walker to sleep, singing to him.  I just had to snap a pic and save the memory.  (It happens every night but I don't want to forget it!)

Easter 2014

We had a great Easter, minus me throwing my back out, and also minus my roast not cooking for the 6 1/2 hours it had in the crock pot. (my crock pot went out, unbeknownst to me until we all got home from church/camping to a raw roast. glorious)  Good thing my family loves me and loves to help around the house, with the kids, and in the kitchen.  Seriously I was just laid out the whole time and everyone else was running around trying to do stuff.  We didn't eat until 2:00 but it is all ok. :)  At least my kids looked cute!

CC made their coordinating outfits and they were so cute! (Savannah's dress was re-hemmed from last year to fit her this year again. Love smocking) Thanks CC!  Anyway, on to the few pictures. VERY unfortunately, this is my first year of hosting the Easter lunch at my house and not getting a group picture (I was out of it, I tell you).  Here's who was here: Nana, Gran, Grandad, CC, Granddaddy, Anna, Aaron, Hank, Birc, Amy, Savannah, and Walker. Did I miss anyone?

(at church)

best family photo we got. In case you hadn't gotten it already, Savannah did NOT want her photo taken

my cute boys.

[She says, No Pictures Please.]

(and just for kicks and giggles here is Savannah last year in the same dress, Walker was 7 weeks into my belly at Easter last year! Crazy!)

Walker at 7 Months

Walker is 7 months old and I absolutely cannot believe that! My favorite age is coming (8 months) and Walker is getting cuter and more fun every day! He is such an easy-going baby (unless he's hungry-don't mess with his bottles) and he loves everybody.  Walker is still spending his days with CC and loving every minute.  He is so smiley and giggly and his eyes light up when I walk in the room.  Walker weighs over 18 pounds for sure, but probably about 19 pounds.  He's wearing pretty much any clothes that are over 6 months.  He can wear 6, 6-9, 9, 9-12, and even 12 month clothes.  He's got such a long torso that clothes that maybe should look big don't look big.  He's quickly outgrowing things these days which of course I love to see. :)  He's sleeping about 12 hours every night and waking up usually one time between 4 and 6 am (boo) and his Daddy feeds him while this mama sleeps. He usually sleeps 3-4 hours each day in 2 naps and one short catnap.  I'm still pumping and he's taking mostly breastmilk but 2-3 bottles of formula each day.  He takes Zantac for his acid reflux and it helps him a lot.  He also started having rice cereal and oatmeal mixed with breastmilk this past month, and on his 7 month birthday and the few days after he tried peas (nope), sweet potatoes (nope), green beans (nope), applesauce (nope) and we finally started mixing it into his oatmeal and he loves it.  (pears and applesauce, anyway)  He is in a size 3 diaper.  He got his first 2 teeth the day after he turned 7 months old! He's grabbing toys, eating them, jumping really well in his jumping exersaucer, standing, sitting on his own, and pulling his knees up under him.  He's such a good baby, y'all.  (sorry, Walker, about the purple sheet.  You keep teeteeing through your diaper and we have to change it all the time)

Pictures!

^ my fave ^
