Bluebonnets

One of my favorite memories growing up was going to the Blue Bell Creamery and Washington on the Brazos State Park and taking pictures in the bluebonnets. When Isaac came along, I decided that we would definitely have to start this tradition. We'll wait a couple more years to take him to the creamery....but we did start the bluebonnet pics this year. Here are a few of our favorites....

Easter Weekend - Part 2

For Easter this year, we had a couple friends and their kiddos over for a mini-egg hunt and dinner. It was a blast...even those the kiddos didn't get the egg hunt idea for the most part! Here are some pics. We took a ton, so see Isaac's 11 month album for more...

Easter Weekend - Part 1

We kicked off our Easter weekend festivites with an Easter egg hunt at Isaac's daycare after school on Thursday. Here are some pics from the party...too cute!

Shakin' 'em!

Move over Jaiden...these are mine! :)

(Notice Jaiden's hair...confetti eggs+massive curly hair=MESS!)

Isaac's friend Emma

Isaac got hit with confetti too...luckily he has no hair for it to stick to! :)

Playing after the hunt...

We are having a hunt with some friends at our house on Sunday...so stay tuned!

11 months...anniversary...and a new toy!

Hard to believe that we are rounding the corner to the 1 year birthday! Isaac rang in his 11 month birthday last week....next month will be the big one! He weighed in at 21 lbs. 4 oz at his dr. appointment a week and a half ago (post ear infection check up). Unfortunately, the ear infections hadn't healed, so he went back on antibiotics....not the yummy bubble gum stuff though. He got a gnarly diaper rash from it...but we finished those up today, and the rash is almost gone! He's is pretty much standing without holding on to much (as of the last couple days). We're still eager to see if he'll take those steps by his birthday. He "talks" up a storm, but still only says "mama" and "dada". His favorite games are "Peek A Boo" and "I'm Gonna Get You!" He just cut his 6th tooth, and pretty much eats whatever Bill and I do. He's also REALLY into pulling hair! Now that he is 11 months old, we're beginning to wean him off of mommy's milk and onto cow's milk. Our goal is for him to be completely weaned by his birthday...we'll see how that goes!

Here is our not-so-little guy doing what he loves best...eating!

And this is what happens when I ask daddy to dress him, and don't give him the clothes to put him in....note the extra long pant length, and the store tags still attached....


Thursday Bill and I also celebrated our fourth anniversary! Hard to believe it's been 4 years already...but on the other hand it seems like we've been together so much longer! We celebrated Friday night (while our friends Michael and Elizabeth watched little man) at Fugo de Chao...yummy Brazilian all you can eat meat! It was great!

Here's a pic of our big day! 4-2-2005

Finally, for our anniversary, we decided we'd get each other a joint gift - a really nice, new digital camera! Our friend Daphne got one a while ago, and we fell in love with it...so we got the exact same one! We played around with it today...here are some other shots from it....(all the ones in this post are with the new camera!).



We were being goofy...
