It's been a while....

I am not even sure where to start!


Houston had a wonderful 1st birthday!! He absolutely loved his cake, almost like he has had it before. He knew what he was doing! I just can't believe he is 1!!














Birthday boy waiting patiently for his cake!!!


On to Easter...

We had a great Easter day! Coloring eggs, playing outside, going to church, and visiting with family!



very messy, but glad we did it outside!



Houston's Easter basket


Addison's Easter basket



she is crazy but loves dressing up!

this is what Houston did... dad gave him bark to play with, which went straight to the mouth.. well if you put it on his highchair he thinks its food.... duh!!!!


Pool time.....


They are gonna be sooo close!



splish splash



we LOVE warm weather!



CHEESE!



she said close your eyes brother...



just relaxing



love this.. she was imitating someone!!



mommy and Houston soaking up some rays!



Here are a few random pics...

Crazy!!!!!


Best buds!


And last but not least...We are working with Addison on potty training and getting rid of her paci!!! Potty training is going well... we have had maybe 1 accident(peepee) the whole time and for the poo poo factor.. haha it scares her to death to think about poo pooing in the potty!! She askes for a diaper on when she has to poo poo... so anyone that has any suggestions feel free to share!!

The paci is another story! I am one of those moms that keep like 15 pacis in their bed because I am not getting up in the middle of the night to get them off the floor because they fell!!! So, to say the least...we are having a hard time! Last night was the first night Addison went to sleep without one! Almost 4 hours after her bedtime and screaming just about the whole time... she zonked out! We decided that she understands when we say throw things away, so we had her gather all of her pacis up and put them in a grocery bag, and throw them away!!! (I got them back out when she wasn't looking for emergencies!) So, she thinks they are all gone... and is just tormented...she asked me last night while bawling her little eyes out if we could just go to the store and buy more!!! She really understands how things work!!! haha I was dreading naptime because I knew she wouldn't take one without a paci... she found one in her bed, underneath the covers, so all is well right now!! If anyone has any tips on the subject as well, I would love to hear anything!!!

  1. I love their Easter baskets! I don't have advice on pacis, but Jack and Jake loved their bottles and had to throw them away. :(
