Brooks loved the aquariums! He watched the fish swimming around very intently!!

My precious little love bugs!!! Love it!!

Landyn reading the map and telling Brooks where we needed to go next!!

All ready for the Zoo. The hat did not last long on his head. I am determined though to get him used to wearing a hat!!


We took Brooks on his first zoo trip a week ago! He loved it!!! I was amazed at how much he actually observed the animals and took everything in!!! Landyn of course was a huge entertainment to him because she was so excited about everything and all over the place!! The weather was perfect and it was not very crowed. I thought we got some really cute pictures from our outing!!

Landyn's 1st Real HairCut!

We finally took Landyn to get her first real haircut!! Her hair is now over 8 inches shorter!! Can you believe her hair was really that long!?!?! She looks like a whole new little girl!! I had trimmed it myself about a year ago just to try and get the tips off. But we thought it was time to get a real haircut.

Bath Time Fun

Easter afternoon we went out to Biscuit and Honey's house for some fun Easter activities and yummy supper that Biscuit was cooking out on the big smoker/cooker. Patrick and Landyn dyed Easter eggs. Jenn and Landyn decorated her giant Easter Pizza from GiGi and Kim. The weather was gorgeous so Brooks was able to strip down outside and be free! We ended the day with some delicious bar-b-cue! Such a special day celebrated with such a special family!!

Saturday Evening Easter Church Service

This year our church offered a Saturday evening Easter service. So we decided to get dressed up in our Easter outfits and go on Saturday instead of Sunday morning. After church, we went to Granny's house where a fabulous meal was waiting for us prepared by my Aunt Lyna, Uncle John and Granny. The weather was absolutely perfect and it was such a relaxing evening.

Starting Our Garden

Our newest project is to attempt a garden in our backyard. Tonight, Landyn and Patrick planted our seeds!! So exciting!! Hopefully we will have all kinds of yummy veggies before too long!!!

Easter Egg Hunt at Landyn's School

Today Landyn had an Easter Egg Hunt at school. By the way, she goes to St. Francis for those of you who didn't know. The two 3-year old classes hunted for eggs together this morning. Patrick went and was able to watch her hunt eggs this morning while I took Brooks to his doctor's appointment.

Six Month Check-up!

Today Brooks went to his "six month" check-up which actually took place closer to seven months because I waited too long to schedule. oops! So we went and saw Dr. Kastner this morning, whom we love! He said Brooks was perfect! What more could a momma possibly want to here!?!? So here are the stats as of six months, three weeks, and one day old!!

Ht: 27" (just over 50%)
Weight: 18lbs. 7 oz. (just over 50%)
Head Circ.: 17 3/4" (75%)

We are SO BLESSED!!

Spring is Here!

Finally! Spring could not arrive fast enough! We have been so ready for some sunny and warm weather! There is nothing better than hanging out in the front yard at my parents house and soaking up some sun!! We stripped Brooks down to his birthday suit and let him enjoy freedom. Even Sampson and Brea were enjoying the nice weather. After playing in the yard, they layed down and relaxed on the front porch next to eachother.
