Under the Table Again!

Graham has been rolling around for the last month or so. Now his scooting all the time....especially backwards. For some reason he likes to scoot underneath things. I always find him halfway under the couch. This morning he kept getting under this table-toy.




This picture is after his nap. I set him on the blanket for just a minute. When I came back he was under the table yet again!

Flowers and Veggies

Just a quick post. I am going to attempt to plant a garden this year. I have no idea what I am doing. I just know that my Grandaddy would be proud! I hope to have lots of yummy veggies but will settle for just getting a few this year. I really hope something grows! These pictures aren't of the garden but we are working on the front flower bed.....again I have no clue?!

Graham's Jumparoo

Caroline loved her jumparoo when was a baby. She would jump for hours! I loved it because I could actually cook supper or do laundry with interruptions! I hope Graham will be the same way. I picked this one up yesterday. It didn't take him any time to learn how to use it. I had it on the lowest setting but think I may have move it up a little bit. Graham is tall!

His favorite part is trying to bat at the birds hanging from the palm trees!

Zoo and Grill Outs!

Last week we went to the zoo with my cousin Stephanie and her little boy, Kohen. The kids had a great time. It was the perfect weather for a day outside. Below are some pictures of the kids.

Aren't the boys adorable in their hats?!

This is Kohen. Looks like he is having a good time!

The next night we all went to Stephie's new house to grill out with Stephie and Jason, Scott and Kristen, and Kohen. The kids played pretty hard and had a good time. We can't wait until the summer to play in the new pool with Kohen!

New Bath Seat!

Graham has outgrown his baby bath tub and is a very "active" child. It is almost impossible to bathe him these days. It takes the two hands I have to just keep him somewhat still.
I have searched everywhere for one those bath tub seats for older babies. I know we had them when we little. I guess they stopped making them at some point.....most likely because moms would leave babies in the seats by themselves. I finally found them online at Overstock.com. I ordered it right away and it has been worth every penny! It leaves my hands free to bathe him and he absolutely loves it. Caroline has a great time too because she can get in and play him.

Play Date

The kids are having a play date with Jack and Carter. We took them outside to let them run around and get out their energy.....it didn't work. They were still just as crazy! How does kids energy never end?

Doctor Visit

I went to see Dr. Gullic yesterday. He is the doctor that delivered both my babies. He is great by the way, I am so glad Christie recommended him to me. I just had a regular check-up that went fine. For those of you who don't know, I would like to have a third child. Not right this minute but around the time Graham turns two. I am going to getting my Masters online so I will still be at home for the next two years or so and rather have one then instead of waiting until I am working everyday. Benjamin doesn't really share my thoughts here. I never liked being on birth control, I had weird side effects and also seem to get cysts on my ovaries when I am on it....which, for me, is worse than child birth. Anyway, Gullic asked what kind of birth control I wanted and I told him none. I am leaving it up to Ben if he really doesn't want me to get preggo again because I won't mind. Gullic looks over at Graham, then looks at me like I am crazy and says....you know how THAT happens, right? I think that the doctor thought that I was just being reckless with everything, last time I had talked to him, he and I both thought I was done having kids. He hadn't quite caught on yet. I laughed so much....especially when I got home and told Benjamin the story. (He didn't think it was quite as funny).
Maybe this post is too much information or maybe you had to be there or know me well enough to understand this ongoing discussion in my house but I thought it was funny!

The Bunny Has Come!

This year we drove to Mississippi to have Easter with Benjamin's family. We all had a great time. Ben and his brother went fishing most the weekend and Brenda and I took the kids out to shop and play. We went to the mall on Friday and let Caroline play in the playplace and we found a few bargains. We also played detective while we were there. Brenda's wallet fell out in a bathroom stall and we knew that the lady who went in after must have picked it up. She denied it so I followed her around the mall, waiting for her to pull it out at some point. Finally we asked a mall cop if there was anything he could do about it. He found the lady and asked her about it. She let him look through it and it was there! The lady actually thanked Brenda when she gave it back. I guess she was grateful that she wasn't going to get in trouble!
On Saturday we had a fish fry out at Jacob's house. I wouldn't eat the fish they caught. I want mine cooked and prepared in a restaurant and I certainly don't want to see what is done to the fish before I eat it! Some of them gave me a hard time but Caroline and I did not eat that fish!
On Sunday we got up to see what the Easter Bunny had brought us. We went to church and ate a big lunch with the family. We left soon after since we had a long drive ahead of us. The kids were great on both drives.
Happy Easter Everyone!

Caroline helped her Mimi plant some veggies for the garden.

Graham like playing in the grass.

Here are the kids Easter baskets.

We are getting ready for church on Easter Sunday.

I love this picture!

Our little family.
