Easter Weekend!

 
What is a Good Friday without crawfish?  Well, its just not a Good Friday! 
We kicked off Easter Weekend Catholic Cajun style and cooked crawfish, shrimp and oysters!
Food was great (crawfish a bit on the small side this year), but don't worry no went hungry!
Mimi died some eggs with the kids...can't seem to locate my pictures from the egg dying (they must be hidden with the Easter eggs that we couldn't seem to find)!
 
What is Easter without a trip to see the Easter bunny?!  Well I guess Easter may have had a few less tears (must say Mark and I laughed pretty hard as the photo below was taken...the boys literally were completely fine until we put them on the Easter Bunnies lap for an entire 10 to 15 seconds, as soon as we picked them up, no Tears).  Gotta say though it did make for a very memorable picture, sorry boys!
 


We all know what happens once you visit the Easter Bunny...he leaves Easter Baskets! 








 
After naps we loaded up and headed to Nana & PopPop's for Easter afternoon!  Mimi, Mo, Nana and PopPop spoiled everyone again with Easter Baskets filled to the rims!
 
 
And then we "hunted" eggs, okay so maybe we more or less sat in the grass and watched Ashton and Reese hunt eggs, either way still fun!






 





Recap of the Easter Day!

Happy Easter Everyone!
 
P.S. not sure why my photos wouldn't rotate around, so flip your ipads up and down to enjoy a few pics (its our sit to be fit work out)!

16 Months!

Blog Postings these days have been few and far between, my excuse ummm these Two!

Enough Excuses let's get down to celebrating 16 Months!

A few of our latest and greatest pics all in one!!


Besides keeping Mark and I plenty busy day in and day out both Cash and Walker are...

*Walking (Cash pretty much everywhere; Walker still crawling for "long distance" but walking more and more each day)
*Down to 1 bottle at night (DON'T Judge! We are enjoying these few last weeks of "cuddle time" on the couch and the boys sitting in our laps while they take their bottles...the day of no more bottles is coming and I have to say while I am not a fan of cleaning all the "Dr Brown Bottle Parts"; I will miss this routine...its a sign Cash and Walker are getting bigger).
*Eating - they LOVE food, pretty much anything we eat, they eat.  A few favorites: Watermelon, Cantloupe, Yogart, Pasta Sauce and Noodles, Mac and Cheese (the homemade velvetta kind of course); and Mimi's Strawberry Jelly!
*Sleeping - Can I get an "AMEN" for good sleepers!  This is a department we continue to Thank God for blessing us in!  Boys go down between 7 and 8 at night and are up anywhere from 7 to 8 am in the mornings!
*Naps- slowly getting down to one nap a day, but every few days they still need that extra hour nap in the afternoon!  
*Clothes - 18 month Shirts for the most part (on all the brands that run a bit small or that shrink when washed) or the 12 to 18 month stuff in The Gap.
*Outside - one of y'alls favorite places to be!  We have been loving this weather and soaking it before the Houston heat arrives!

Cash
 
Check out my Abs!

My Mom and Headbands - Where is Reese?

Destroying the Kitchen with Cheerios...and leaving the crime scene!
* Mr. Personality you make some of the funniest expressions each and every day.  You wear your emotions on your sleeve and you are either bouncing with joy (pretty much all the time) or in those other rare moments you make sure we know that you are hacked off about something (or just having been told no - imagine that).
*You are So Strong! You definitely are the "climber" of the two - you love pushing chairs, toys, the pack in play and anything else you can get your hands on across the floor.  You think you scale walls and cribs...thank goodness you have managed to stay inside the crib thus far...have a feeling you will eventually figure out how to climb out!
*You love milk.  You are a good eater, but not like Walker, but you LOVE to drink Milk and Water! You have done great with a sippy cup and even mastered "milk and water floor paintings" when you don't feel like drinking anymore. 
*You love to be in the middle of everything. 


Walker
My mom did this too me!

I love Cars!
Cookie Monster!

*Quick to catch on to new things! You now shake your head "Yes" and "No"!
*You know sign language for "More"
*When your brother gets told "no, no" you sit quietly in the back ground and shake your head side to side saying "no, no" as if you are rubbing it in Cash's face - it is hysterical and precious
*You Love FOOD!  You are an awesome eater, you will try pretty much anything and very rarely turn your nose to food
*Drinking - your not much into sippy cups, we pretty much have tried every brand and model out there
*You still love to be held, read books, watch cartoons, or just hang out close to whoever is in your entourage on a particular day!
*You are just plain sweet!

That's the 16 month Rewind, quick and dirty! We are loving all our moments and memories that are being made literally every second of everyday!
Boys, you continue to make life AWESOME, Special, Memorable, Fun, and BLESSED!

Happy 16 Months!  We love you!

We love the Closet and Shoes!
