One of his favorite things

We have a new driver. This is one of Watson's favorite things to do ever, to get in the driver's seat and play! He goes nuts if we put him up in the front seat w/us, banging on the steering wheel, turning up the radio, and pressing every button he can find. It is hilarious and if we are not in a hurry I let him sit w/me before he gets into his carseat.







He also started saying "weeeeee" on the swing this week and saying Daddy this week but it sounds either like "Da" or Da-E". He stomps around the house screaming his name and even said "hey Da-e" the other night! Nathan is his new bff once 5:00 comes. He leaves me behind and goes straight for him. I mean he LOVES him and thinks he is so much fun, and I love watching them. He has also turned part monkey and climbs everything in sight-chairs, ottoman, dressers, sofa, etc. Can't turn my back on him for more than a few seconds. He is a mess! He is a fun little age. Still napping twice a day which I love, still taking bottles which he loves, and just a great playmate for his sister. They are two peas in a pod. I'm just so incredibly thankful for them both and can't believe everyday they are ours. God is so good.

Happy Good Friday and a blessed Easter weekend to your family!

Spring Music Program

Hayes had her spring music program last Friday at school. It was called the teddy bear picnic and the girls were ladybugs and the boys were bumblebees. It was cute! She did not seem to care one thing about it though, in fact I don't think she really knew she was about to be in a music program (like most of the other 2's) until she got on the stage! This was a good one for the grandparents to miss out on. She just was not the best participater this go-round!

After the program...


After the music, the parents went back to the classrooms for the art show. We brought home lots of beautiful artworkfrom the year from our little artist. Then we had a picnic and then it was time to go home! I can't believe she is big enough for these types of things now but they are so fun to be a part of. I am thankful for the fun experiences she is having in preschool. Only 11 school days left till summer and I am counting down. Life is going too fast. Next year she'll be in the 3's and that just doesn't seem possible!

Cute Dresses

A couple of weeks ago we were in Walmart and I ran past the kids department and saw the CUTEST little toddler girl dresses. They had a bunch of different ones but I settled on one really cute pink and yellow flowery one. SO, SO cute and for only $5. Can't beat that!



Hayes wore it one day and it fit so cute and washed well. So I ordered a few more, and let me tell you that these are some cute fun little playdresses. We are big fans of casual dresses at our house. I prefer them to pants/shorts and tops anyday b/c it's one less thing to wash! They're only $5 each and a bunch of different styles and patterns and perfect for spring and summer. Too bad cute boy clothes do not exist for $5.



And just one pic of my little man too, b/c this is what he always looks like-smiling w/that huge soothie paci in his mouth. It's the only kind he likes.


Happy Thursday!

4 Wheeler Jealousy

Some good friends kindly let us borrow their cozy coupe they were not using anymore for our little man-you know the one w/the handle on the back and seatbelt-the appropriate and safe kind for a 13 month old. We have the regular car that has a door but no seatbelt and I didn't think he was ready for that. Watson loved it for the first few rides!



Then he noticed his sisters wheels were different and pretty fast and she didn't have to wear a seat belt.


He wants sooooo bad to get on her car. This is already the case with most everything these days. They both want exactly what the other has at the exact time they are using it.


I am sure we won't be waiting too much longer before he gets to ride!!

One and Three Year Pics

Just a few that I have gotten back. Can't wait to see more!!!

Spring Blooms and Egg Hunt

This is the 2nd spring we have been in our house. Last year we only had one blooming azalea bush but the rest of the neighborhood was full of them. It was right outside Hayes' window so I was glad she could see them from her room. This year has been different. We have many more in bloom than we did last year. I am thinking it must be from our mild winter and last winter was freezing so I guess that's why we didn't have as many. Anyway aside from the azaleas I just noticed an entire huge hydrangea bush on the side of our house that is full of green hydrangeas. It is beautiful and has tons of flowers on it. The sad thing is we may have gotten a little round-up on it recently. I hope it will stay strong though and pull through!!



We went to a cute little peter rabbit 1st birthday party yesterday for our buddy William. The kids had fun hunting Easter eggs. Well not really Watson, he just enjoyed exploring and walking around. Hayes enjoyed the egg part and eating her treats and the cake and ice cream part. That girl is all about an egg hunt. I think it's time to get ours out and have some hunts at home. If only the pollen were not so bad. Too bad the runny noses and sneezing go right along with this pretty weather!

I love Fridays

It's almost the weekend, YEA! It seems like it went from winter to summer overnight and I am loving this springy warm weather we are having. I'm thinking it's time to pack up the winter clothes. It's been perfect for outside play this week, and a teeny tiny trip to the zoo to meet up w/Lindsey, Brent, and Baker for a minute. Fridays are just fun. I don't usually worry about naptime for Watson. We are all just looking forward to the 5:00 hour when Nathan comes driving up the driveway. Nothing can beat that. We are taking some family pictures late tomorrow since they have turned 1 and 3 and church and a b'day party on Sunday. And hopefully making time to be lazy, and maybe a trip to our new favorite restaurant tonight, if everyone can behave. You just never know what might happen when you leave the house after 5:00 with little ones in tow. But usually it's worth it for some Friday night fun and good food not from your own kitchen. Have a great weekend!















Yes he looks kind of messy, this was after a breakfast and snack with no bib, and playtime inside and out!
