Happy Birthday Nini!

Happy Birthday to our favorite Nini! Hope you have a wonderful day.. looking pretty good!

Emily Junes First Hair cut....

"Ahh is that my hair in Mommy's hand.. not so sure about this!"
She is such a girl sometimes.. loves her purse and "lipstick" she pretends to use inside.
The sucker saved the day...


She is such a girl.. not sure at first but loves to be pampered. I remember the hair dresser saying to always make the first experience a good one so they will enjoy coming... so we did. We got ready to go, purse in hand and went to see Geneva. She was bribed with a sucker and did pretty good, compared to what could of happened! It was one of those moments where it really could of gone either way. We topped off our little girls outing wiht Gigi's cupcakes.. my weakness. Love girl time!

And it is not too short, by request of her Daddy and Papa.

Happy (late) birthday GG!

My dear sweet grandmother turned 96 this month.. she amazes me more and more each day. She is such a blessing and I am so thankful my children know her! We love you GG!!!

Spring Break fun

Ready for Swim ! EJ loves to swim.. almost as much as she loves to dress up for Swim! She is a little early, but the sooner she can swim.. the less stress mommy will have!
Dress up.. Cutest Buzz ever!
Handsome boy, showing me how grown up he is from the baby in the picture...
Precious face also the face he uses to try and get away with things!

WE had a good Spring Break, the weather was beautiful. Lots of play dates and out door activities. Although, the fun week is coming to an end, I am soo ready for us to be back on a schedule again. I love MDO! It is my sanity! It helps EJ loves it too! Wyatt will head back to preschool and pick up a whole new round of words we will battle at home... it seems this age is very impressionable. I have to say I love him coming in my bed and cuddling in the mornings with the "I love you Mommy." it seems to make this stage bearable. He know how to work me already! Last night we had dance party in the kitchen... Nothing like a little MJ to get the family going. Zach is a great dancer and tried to teach the kids the "Thriller" dance.. EJ got it and loved it.. Wyatt was more the head banging rocker! Good way to get energy out for sure! Hope everyone had a wonderful Spring Break!

Happy St. Patricks Day

Could they not all be brothers... I have to say hearts will be breaking in a few years with these boys! So precious....
Sweet brother...
My babies
Silly EJ
Green eggs and ham....


Wyatt loves the color Green so today was extra special for him. I attempted to make green eggs and ham, they would not touch it.. but at least I tried to be the creative, fun Mom... We had a wonderful play date at a sweet friends house and lunch with Meema at Micheal's... perfect morning for two kids! Hope everyone has a wonderful St. Patricks Day... I remember the good old days when Zach and I use to drink Green beer to celebrate.. now I am making green eggs! Times sure do change!

I forgot the camera!!!!AHHHHHHH

So frustrating, Wyatt was in his first wedding and leave it to mom to forget the camera. (I did buy a little disposable one at Walgreen's, but it is not the same, the pictures turned out horrible and I only have hard copies...so until I get some from family you will have to keep checking!) He was so incredibly handsome... his little tux was priceless and it was a guessing game up until the wedding if he was going to go through with it or not! The rehearsal dinner was a nightmare, he was in a mood, and did not want to cooperate for anything. I knew in the back of my head, once he makes up his mind he will do want he is told, but there is not pushing him and he is not a fan of all the attention. (Just like me!) So, Saturday I was a little more hopeful until we arrived and he threw a fit in just taking a few pictures.... it was stressful. The family/photographer is looking at you like "Come on!" and "What a brat!" and I am sweating up a storm trying not to loose my cool by calming talking to an irrational 3 yr old! I would not have bet on him at that point, no one else would have either. He proved us wrong. Zach walked him back and he proudly walked down the aisle, huge smile on his face get up to the front and shakes the pillow up in the air ,like a boxer who won a fight, and stands up there so proud. Zach and I both were relieved! I did not care after that how many pieces of cake he had or cookies... just glad it was over!
Emily June on the other hand, loves all the attention and made friends with everyone there, I did think Friday night if it was possible to dress her up in a tux after the rehearsal we had! She was adorable and did very well as well. Zach's cousin was a beautiful bride and has the sweetest heart of any one in the family... I know no one can argue that one!
So, I hope to post pictures when I get some! I am just as anxious. The trip was alright, 7 hrs in a car with two kids was only bearable bc of modern day technology and TVS in the back seat! What did we do as children, use our imagination and entertain ourselves?! Long gone!

Princess Tea

June loved Sleeping Beauty.. she was pretty sweet
Mommy and Bug...
Are you snow white?

Is this really Snow White?
Dancing on stage... all by myself while everyone else is watching ME!
Dancing with Sleeping Beauty
Oh! Cinderella!
Waiting for my turn
Beautiful girl painted like a princess!


How many hours of Television can your children watch without loosing brain cells? I think we have tested the limit this week. It has been a week of cold weather and sick kids! Not much else to do... I miss our beautiful West Texas weather.. especially this week. This week we did wake up to a beautiful morning with 4" of snow on the ground.. I was the bad mom who did not let their kids get out and play in it. We have been battling sinus infections, coughing, and whatever else that comes in this house so I knew it would be a set back. How selfish am I? We did make snow ice cream and eat a lot of snow! School was canceled so we had 4 days of inside play days this week! AHHH! People often say, " How can you be a stay at home mom?" and I never understood where they were coming from until this week..I have been home all week! Being a stay at home mom does not mean you are "at home!"
Regarless we are on the mend and hopefully off to a wonderful week next week and of good health.

A sweet friend called and asked June and me to join them for a "Princess tea" this morning and I thought she would be a little too young.. WRONG! She loved everything about it.. especially the dancing. She is so not me. She loved getting dressed up, getting on stage dancing and was not the least bit shy with the princesses. Wyatt and Daddy had a "boys" morning bc he could nto understand why he could not go to the princess tea.. but he got to pick out his favorite restaurant and to no ones surprise they are eating at Micheals... (which has hundreds of airplanes hanging from the ceiling..) I told Zach it is so much better than McDonalds! It has been a good Saturday with two amazing kids!

Oh and I did forget to mention I had my eyes done this week.. I can see perfectly thanks to Dr. Ingram! For the first time in my life I can see... especially at night. It scares me to think how bad my vision has been (with contacts in) and I have been driving around with two kids! So, highly recommend it.... I have one more week of "recovery" than I can sleep without my goggles (although I think Zach kind of likes it!) and wear make up. Best gift my mom could of given me! Thanks mom for my sight!
