Easter Egg Hunt part two

Ok- Couldn't get this all figured out to go from Picasa to Blog- so here are additional pics. Happy Easter!

Easter Egg Hunt!

It has been much too long since my last post. Thankfully, Linds has been great about keeping things updated. Where does the time go? We have had a great spring and this past weekend got to spend some time out in the yard planting, finding worms, digging, and an Easter Egg Hunt to finish off a great weekend.
Lucy donned a bonnet to apease a friend whose child would not put on the heirloom. Makes me laugh to look at how serious she got and makes me nostalgic to see how grown up and less "baby" she looks each month. We celebrate her birthday this weekend so we will have some great shots of the cousins. Enjoy a few from this past weekend and hopefully I can upload a fairly funny video of Lucy in just a bit!

sunday brunch

we had brunch this past sunday at steve & mary beth's house. the food was delicious and the kids had a great time playing together. they have both been sick lately so we haven't been able to get together very much. mark and jen were in town too so it was fun to catch up with them. henry has finally learned what hugging is all about so he and lucy loved on each other some. we got a few family photos too. the baby gate in the back ground is lovely isn't it?? that was brought over to the house for my wild child.....he could go up and down the stairs all day long..... and when it comes to playing outside....you will definitely get a temper tantrum when it is time to come in!

brett, henry and i are heading to birmingham this thursday for the weekend. kelly, john and will & lilly will be coming to bham too so i hope to come back next week with some good family photos and i am sure some hilarious stories.

miss lucy is turning the big 3 in two weeks!! we are excited about celebrating and are on the lookout for her birthday wishes: some new new makeup, a makeup bag and a hello kitty bracelet and necklace! i think henry can get that shopping done!

definitely all MALE!!!!

so here are a few shots of MY weekend home alone with henry. we had a great time together even though the friday night he woke up FOUR times!!! oh well...his cute smile still made me smile the next morning :). anyways- here is the story about the pics above. we got up saturday morning, ate breakfast, playing, & i was watching some tv. when i am not using the remote i put it on top of the chair in the back so henry can't get to it (the remote is one of his top 5 things). i had been eating my breakfast in this chair so i decided to get up and go wash my dishes. next thing i know, i turn around from the sink and look into the living room at this!! he has crawled up, gotten the remote, changed the channel and is just chillin' in the chair!!! so i grabbed my camera and got a shot before he turned and gave the bottom "haha" photo! he was laughing hysterically at me when he saw me taking his picture. little rascal!

dad weekend

brett had the weekend alone with henry a few weeks ago. he took him to church on sunday and snapped a few shots on the way out the door. he sure did make him look cute! i love the look of mystery on his face up top. i just wish i could get into his head to know what he is thinkin' sometimes!

happy monday!!!

just thought i would post a picture to make you SMILE! happy monday!

2009 Fun!

YES- we have been terrible bloggers lately!!! so sorry! time has been passing quickly and i don't know what we have been doing except having so much fun!! henry is an absolute blast right now and Lucy just tells the greatest stories & of course loves on him so much.

henry latest favorite things...and yes they are quite weird but he is obsessed with the following:

1. the swifter (see below)...he ask for it at least 5 times a day and it is actually great because he helps keeps the floors semi clean :).

2. chic-fil-a nuggets...the other night i hit the drive thru since brett had a meeting- i was lazy and didn't want to cook. i got him a SIX pack kids meal and me a sandwich. well, he downed the 6 nuggets in about 5 minutes and was begging for more! so i gave him about a fourth of my sandwich and he still wanted more! i can tell that the weekly visits to chic-fil-a while i was pregnant definitely went straight to his taste buds.

3. curious george.....he loves the show and especially loves it because in most episodes the dog hundley is a character (see favorite #4). henry has been taken down by a bad case of eczema within the past two weeks. we have been having to put some cream on him three times a day and the only way to keep the child still is to plop him our lap directly in front of the tv with curious george on. we can ask him if he wants to go watch george and he runs to the tv & then i'll turn the show on and when the music starts he begins to dance. it is too cute. but of course as soon as i finish with the cream and tell him he is all done he is off and could care less about the tv!

4. dogs.....but that is dogs only far away and not in close touching distance. we will be riding in the car and every time he sees a dog he says "doh di". But- if we are around a dog in person he has a slight freeeaaakkkk out! we are slowly working on this problem.....hopefully it will get better & he won't be the kids who is scared of dogs.

5. outside.....just ask the question- "do you want to go outside?" and he is off! he loves being outside and the swing or his radio flyer wagon are is favorite spots. the other day i was swinging him and i got him down and i told him we had to go inside. instead- he walks around the house to the carport and goes to the back and tries to get into his wagon.....so yes- we went for a walk in the wagon. i think we will be spending most of our summer outside!

6. milk.....thank goodness he has started to love his milk out of his sippy cup. the bottles & formula are all gone. in a way it was sad to give it up because i feel like that was the last part of being a "baby" that was left of him. he is growing so fast and just changing too quick.

Here are lots of photos of what we have been up to in the past two months. we have had lots of park play dates- especially our fun valentine photo shoot with lucy. enjoy the pics below and i hope to be a better blogger!!!

at school they tell me he likes to go down head first on the slide!

who would think that a big pile of sofa cushions and blankets would be so much fun???

my favorite look.....i didn't do anything wrong????
