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.

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!

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)

FIRST TOOTH:

SECOND TOOTH:

OUTTAKES:

(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?
