Bye-Bye Brooks & Dunn

Tonight, we say good-bye to one of the best country duos ever: Brooks and Dunn. Thanks for the songs that made me dance, made me cry, and made my son do this:

Need a laugh?

Click here if you are having a bad day!

Sometimes I randomly put this on my board at school and the kids, one by one, realize it and start laughing. How can you not love it?

Its Official

My son loves the spotlight. We met some friends from college this weekend and my son spent each meal time singing into the microphone for dinner guests. He even went as far to push other other kids out of his 'area' when they would get too close (apologies to follow). Today he graduated from the nursery class at Children's Day Out and was the only one singing and dancing! So proud of him and humored by him.

Adios April

Has it really been a month since I've posted? Well April was a pretty hectic month for us!!

Beauty in the Common Things: Grant is saying entire sentences now, and most make pretty good sense! My boys took me to breakfast at IHOP yesterday before church and they had an employee dressed up as a pancake handing out coupons out front. When we left, he yelled "Bye dancing pancake!". Daniel and I were cracking up! I doubt I'll hear THAT sentence again!

Listen In: Caillou is a favorite show now. I just can't get over that he is a four year old that is bald and everyone else has hair. Its made in Canada...that probably explains it! So that is what i hear right now...Caillou and his family camping.

View from the kitchen window: A bee free zone! We had bees come back for the 2nd time and make a home in our shed. We had a man come last week to get rid of them, he says for good. Thank you craigslist!

Dinner Plans: Pork chops marinated in baja citrus seasoning, carrots, and mac and cheese. I knew Grant wouldn't eat the carrots, so I had to make something along his lines. Its 7 and I'm still not hungry. I'll probably eat cereal....Cheerios Crunch!

The month started out with celebrating my nephew, Fletcher's 4th birthday. We traveled down south for the weekend.

Here is Fletcher, such a handsome man! He had a dinosaur party and can tell you anything you want about dinosaurs of all kinds!Fletcher and his dad, my brother. They are so much alike....never can quite smile the way you want them to!
Grant enjoyed the bounce house that was at the party.
I'm so glad my sister caught this moment! He gives the sweetest kisses.

Saw this on the way to Austin....couldn't resist!

After the party was Easter time. Grant was technically sick on Easter morning, but the Easter Bunny still showed up! He left Grant a bean bag, a movie, and a toothbrush, along with other goodies!
Below, Grant is watching his favorite movie, "Robin Hood" while chilling on his bean bag! Thanks Easter Bunny!

Even though Grant was sick on Easter morning, don't you worry! He got to hunt eggs a total of 4 times. He got pretty good at it this year!

Grant wore his Easter outfit the next week. He would NOT cooperate and smile, but you get the point!

Later in the month, Grant turned 2! We had a 'farm' party. The weather actually turned out great, even though it was supposed to rain. We had many friends and family over for the special occasion. Below is Grant and Corbin. I love Grant's face in this one, looking at the kites.

I found this cake design on the internet as a 'kit'. I already had all the Fisher Price Little People, so really I just need a sheet cake with some coloring and texture. I talked with the baker at HEB and she came through with flying colors! I LOVED it!
Blowing out the candles...

If you are wondering about my death grip, its because he kept sticking his finger in the cake. Any more 'poking' and there wouldn't be a santized area for people to eat off of!

Its the birthday boy!!

All the loot...


This one of my favorites of the month. We finally got him to keep a hat on, and boy did he look handsome!!!
