I don't think that I can start blog posts saying "What a whirlwind of a month it has been" anymore because I think all of our months are like that now! I feel like I start out thinking we won't have much going on and before I know it, we are running around (in a good way!) and busy busy busy! I have a bunch of random pictures from the last two months that I just haven't had time to post, so here goes!
March started off with a weekend away with my college girlfriends. We threw a shower in New Orleans for my friend Amanda and her fiance, Fred. We are all so spread out now so it is rare that we all get to see each other and catch up. Of course the weekend went waaay too fast, but we had a fantastic time!
My friend Baylor even surprised us! I haven't seen her since she moved to San Antonio a few years ago, so that was a fun treat!! It just amazes me how you can go months and years without seeing some people and start right where you left off when you meet up again! I have been so blessed throughout my life to find such great, trusting, loving friends...now if only we could all live in the same city!!
My friend Jessica had a baby a few months ago and I hate that this is the first time that I got to meet her! She is so cute, but how could she not be with such a cute mama and daddy! :)
The guests of honor
I made it back from New Orleans right at dinner time, so I pulled in the driveway and then we all headed out to dinner. The boys are in such a daddy phase right now, so I feel like I am always snapping pictures of "my boys". They both wanted to sit on/next to Lance...
I can't remember why but they were running around in their Cubbies hats giving each others the thumbs up...
It was really cold the weekend of the shower but it has warmed up a bit recently, which means, lots of time outside. I took the boys to one of their favorite parks that we hadn't been to in forever and they played so nicely...
Davis is talking up a storm these days and he has quite a few words that he says in his own special way. These are the things that I hope I don't forget as they get older. We are so lucky for technology in this way, that we can save snip-its of things that they say. One of my favorites right now is how Davis says "motorcycle". It comes out more like "motorhurkers".
Our buddy Ben, who used to live in our neighborhood, just turned 4, so we had fun celebrating with him last weekend! They had bounce houses and super hero capes - the boys had a blast!
Happy birthday Ben! Davis' face cracks me up in this one.
The boys had their school pictures taken two weeks, so I got them dressed and tried to get a picture of them. They were confused why I was letting them outside without shoes and Harrison decided that it was too cold to smile. He was a little better for round 2. I can't wait to see how they turn out!
While the nice weather was hanging around, we hit up another local park to feed some ducks with our friends.
We came home for nap time. Around 4 pm, Davis was still asleep so I went upstairs to wake him up. I about freaked out when it was silent but he wasn't in his bed. My heart started racing, until I walked across the hall to Harrison's room and found this...
He apparently made himself at home in Harrison's room and then wore himself out. He is still in a toddler bed, mostly because I think his room will be so crowded with a full sized bed in it, but I think he is ready for one!
After he woke up, we headed to Pikes to pick up some fertilizer. My boys, who NEVER, want to pose, started hopping on some rocks and demanded that I take their picture. They never cease to surprise me!
This past weekend rounded out the last few days of nice weather for a while so we spent the majority of it outside. Our community holds an event each year called Touch-A-Truck, so we took the boys up there before Harrison's baseball game. Yet again, the helicopter was Harrison's favorite! Davis was not thrilled about having to stand in line.
Davis loved the enormous bulldozer. We got to the event and walked around for a few minutes. Harrison wanted to go into a bounce house and while he was in there, Davis saw this huge bulldozer and bee-lined it over there. I thought for sure once we got up to it he would be timid and scared, but he let the guy help him up the ladder and had a big smile on his face!
The picture above shows just how big the bulldozer was. You can tell from the picture below that Davis was not amused when he told him his turn was over!
I recently had a slight health scare. Everything is fine, but I had some blood tests done that indicated that my white blood cells were low. They are back up and normal but it was a scary few weeks for me waiting for the results. Its times like these that are reminders for enjoying every moment with these sweet faces!!
(We took them to see The Croods on Saturday since it was so rainy and they loved it. Davis sat nicely throughout most of it, then hit a burst of energy and finally almost fell asleep in my lap. It was his first time in a movie theater since he was an infant. The kids loved it and Lance and I thought it was pretty funny. I was definitely glad that Lance was there to help!)
