Cute Pic Post -- April 2016

April was a full, fun, emotional month. Carson turned one, the bigs had soccer all the time, Carson had his 1 year pictures taken, we took Bluebonnets pictures (and I twisted my ankle and bruised my hand in the fall), our less-than-one-year-old washing machine broke and they shipped us the new party in order to install it ourselves, I bought too many books to be able to read in a month's time, I signed up with Usborne Books & More as a consultant, BSF was coming to a close, I finally took all my old tshirts to the quilting place, and I sorted two last tubs of attic stuff from the incident a couple years ago. Here's our month. Enjoy!

Seth's azaleas bloomed a bit later than other peoples',
but they were amazing once they did bloom!

Um, why does he look so grown in this picture!?

Graham asked for this picture.
(Love me some SYTTD)

Bruised Palm

monitoring his rash (eczema?)

I thought "oh geez. there goes the college funds"
but it's actually much straighter now that its in farther.

warped on not warped

We have spent so much time in this waiting room over the years!

Finally realized how nasty their drawer had become and fixed it.
I feel bad that it took me so long.

One of our final morning bottles together.

Crazy Nap Hair. His face Cracks. Me. Up.

Party Prepping on a Friday night.

These were on the floor under the crib. UM!?

awesome sky

Pool Donation: I'm excited to be able to
use these at the pool this summer.

Yeah, right, you're not tired.

Officially switched back to Purse Land.

Love his hand on his hip. lol

Love this Awesome Daddy I married.

Who's that cute baby?

Let's do this!

I found the following things going through the above tubs. The tubs contained mostly office stuff and I'd love to be able to put it all out again, should I ever have an actual office again.

In case you wanted to know me better.

I was really awesome at my job. I miss getting such great recognition of accomplishments! (Can I just add that this feels like a lifetime ago?)

The new sidewalk has puddles. GAH!

A 5 year old in a 3t costume.

rhubarb. yum!

The washer part arrived quickly which was the only
positive thing about that situation.

We love PowerHouse and we love dressing ourselves.

My three cowboys, spring 2016:

Can you spot the hilariously terrible photoshop job?

I love this big boy of mine.

Seth always makes fun pancakes for the boys.
I asked him to surprise me with something different.

too many books, not enough time!

Almost the entire last half is read aloud book recs!

I'd been looking for a globe and Fell In Love when I saw this at Target.

Austin is walking Graham to class "for" me.

Toasting to my first Usborne FB party

He looked like such a little man in this outfit!

Work Crew cleaned up the flower bed at school.

so many things.. Graham's bug head, the book, the shirts

so. humid.

Austin's new dance kicks came just in time for pictures. Recital is June 12!

Perot (birth)Day!

Graham got invited to a birthday party at The Perot and if you get in on a birthday pass, you can stay the rest of the day too, so we did just that! Well, most of the day until we were "done in" and plus we needed to get home in order to get Graham to his final soccer game of the year. We actually chose to miss one of Austin's games which was that morning, but then it ended up getting cancelled due to field conditions, so that worked out nicely for us.

Seth's dad is a major fan of parking in unusual spots so as to avoid door dings and since we decided to park in this particular spot (not for dings, but for space to load and unload), I thought it was worth a picture so I could show his dad this awesome spot The Perot has.

We arrived a smidge early (it's like a miracle when than happens!), so it wasn't time to go in yet. The boys of course wanted to play in the water, but we tried as best we could to have them keep their clothes dry. Walking around all day in wet clothes is the pits and I didn't want to hear the constant complaining that I knew would ensue. Speaking of clothes, I put the bigs in the typical neon, so it's  easier for me to spot them. Something I tend to do anytime we're at a big place like that.

After the kids colored on their binoculars, the party lady led a little lesson on dinosaurs and then had the kids help her erupt the volcano. Carson just walked around the room this whole time which was super adorable.

The party gift was dino masks and Carson absolutely loved his. He kept putting it up to his face and then putting it up to our face. The bigs wanted matching masks, of course.

After the demonstration, we had lunch--sandwiches, chips, juice and cupcakes. The bigs must have had three bags of chips each and 1.5 sandwiches, it was crazy how much they ate! And then they still finished their cupcake and were asking for more! Thankfully we didn't feel bad about it because the party mom had made tons of food and didn't want to take it all home. They were staying in the museum for awhile just like we planned to.

You can't call it a day until someone gets
someone else's blood on their shirt.
Carson got a bloody lip.

The boys each did these dinosaur puzzle, I was impressed with Austin's stick-to-it-ivness. He usually quits pretty quickly when something like this is difficult.

Posed Carson even though he was sound asleep.
I'm so glad he's an easy baby! He makes outings possible with all 3.

I said to Seth "I don't need to get on there, I know what an actual earthquake feels like." And then spent a few seconds letting that sink in. SO Crazy!

This is us doing weather forecasting. I was showing the mass of pressure moving upwards and then trying to look bummed for all the flooding victims. HA!

One Almost Entirely Too Dark to See Anything Picture. lol
