I got the boys a little blow up pool the other day, and they loved it! We have had such nice weather and they enjoy being outside so much, that I figured they would love being in the water. I can't wait to get them in our big pool, hopefully they will love that too!
We started our fun filled weekend off with an Easter Egg Hunt. They weren't exactly sure what was going on at first, but by the end they were picking up the eggs and putting them in their baskets! Being the expert egg hunter that I am, I was so excited for their first hunt! In our family, you pretty much get to hunt eggs until you are married. I know this sounds nuts, but here's a little secret.... (they are CASH prizes!) So it is worth the effort to run around with your head fixed on the ground throwing little plastic eggs in your basket! Taking after their mother, both boys "cashed out" nicely!
The boys' first Easter was fabulous! They had such a great weekend. GiGi and Grandad were here from Pampa town America, and Aunt Razzles and soon-to-be Uncle Rincoln hung out with us too! We concluded the festivities with another family dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's. I hope that the boys will grow to love Easter as much as I do. Not just for the fun eggs and bunnies but for the wonderful gift that Jesus gave us, his life! Our family is so truly and richly blessed and I couldn't be more thankful.
The boys are 9 Months Old now! I can hardly believe it. Getting pictures this month was a very difficult task, as you can see! I probably waited too late in the day and they were a little annoyed with me. Anyway, they are doing well and very healthy. We went to the doctor last week and she said they look great! She told me I could start giving them more solid foods, it's not going very well... Of course I guess if I had been on a totally liquid diet for my whole life and then someone stuffed cereal in my mouth, I might gag too! Hopefully, they will start to get over their texture issues and start LOVING their crunchy cereal as much as I do!
Our neighborhood planted a beautiful hill full of Bluebonnets and Indian Paintbrushes. I was so excited when I discovered this, because my original plan was to drag Aaron and the boys to a spot off the highway and try and do this! I know it sounds crazy, so luckily I stumbled on this little gem right around the corner from our house!! As you can see Grant was very interested in the flowers and I believe Rhett was just wondering why we plopped him down on this very steep hill. (Rhett's eye was the victim of the corner of their little basketball goal, he looks pitiful doesn't he...)
We are well into our photo session and it has been going along smoothly. Aaron decides to move Grant and BAM, hits him in the head with the camera. He tries to deal with it the best he can.... However, he comes from a long line of dramatics!
Emily has joined our Kindermusik class, so now we get to see Emily and her mom Allison every week! It will be nice to have a friend in class. (FYI: the boys are the ONLY boys in the class, Rhett is loving it and becoming very social, Grant still sticks pretty close to mom.)
