This & That

Since I am sooo behind on this blog here, I wanted to hurry post some few shots the last month or two. This post was originally to update what's been going on with our lives, and letting out some of my frustrations.... let's just say this year has been tough, it's also been great, but I feel like we keep getting hit with little things here and there, I'm kinda ready to have things be "chill" for a while... But I'm too busy tonight, maybe some time later, because there are some funny stories too.

Anyway here are some shots:

It's beginning to look like summer here, even though it's been raining A LOT the last few weeks.

Most days, if not all days, my boys are ALWAYS drawing or painting. I can't imagine how many trees my family alone have killed.

Peter is getting big too fast for my liking. He's not a newborn and is a little baby now...I feel like life is so busy that I haven't gotten to enjoy his growing up as much. But he is such an easy, chill baby and he always seems to remind me all will be ok!

My kids that I love so much even when they drive me crazy!

Some phone pictures:

My handsome boys!

Thomas drawing Dustin's caricature.

Thomas modeling some pink boots. They were the only ones his size at Dustin's parents' house. He wasn't so sure about wearing them at
 first.

The boys love playing with the dog and chickens.

Just a few shots of our daily life.

May the Fourth be with You

I'm so behind in blogging, and I'm not sure if I will ever catch up.
On May 4th we were total nerds and had a Star Wars Party.
The boys LOVED it! We made some Star Wars cupcakes that day. Dustin's mom and sister came for pizza and were dressed up! I was going to and totally forgot, but they looked awesome. They brought over chocolate covered pretzels to look light sabers, and the boys were all over that.
We watched episode 4, while Dustin and the boys got their faces painted. Oliver was hilarious while I was painting his face, that kid would not hold still for nothing.

And if you are wondering who Dustin is, he is Chewy.
We had so much fun, we probably do it next year.

Peter @ 3 Months

Last week Peter turned 3 months!
It is going be so fast, and life is so busy, I just wished things could slow down a bit.
Peter is the perfect baby, he rarely cries, only to let me know he's hungry or tired.
He is very good about having the other boys jumping and climbing all over him.
He loves to cuddle and to be talked to. He loves it, loves it.
But he is so good at letting me put him down when I take care of the other boys, mostly Oliver, Oliver still needs his cuddle time.
He still wakes up at night, sometimes he will do a 4-5 hour gap, but a lot of times I'm too tired at night to even remember when he wakes up, I just know every morning he ends up in our bed.
He loves when I lay down with him and Oliver for nap time, I honestly think that's his favorite part of the day, he just cuddles right up to me and is out in thirty seconds.
He is has the biggest grin that is to die for, it's just hard to get a picture of it because he gets distracted by the camera.
He loves to stand.
He loves the song Frère Jacques,it's the only French song I know.

He is such a sweetheart and fresh from Heaven!

Dallas Zoo

Last week we went to the Dallas Zoo with play group and my SIL, Emily, came along with us. The boys had a lot of fun. And we got to see many awesome animals. We always love going to the zoo.

When the Willis Family Came to Visit

Dustin's sister, Tiffany, and her family came to Texas for their spring break a couple a weeks ago and we had a blast! We always love having family come to visit. We did many fun things the week they were here.

The Monday after Easter we went to the Aboretum, again, we love going to the aboretum if you haven't noticed yet. The flowers were gorgeous and this time I actually got a few more pictures since I had grandmas helping with the three kids. My kids weren't too interested in taking pictures but I got a few.

Then Tuesday I picked up Dustin from work and we headed to Ennis to get pictures with the blue bonnets and to go to the drive-in movie. But on our way there we got stuck in major traffic and someone rear-ended us, and yes, she was on her phone. I wasn't very happy but luckily it was a little bump.  So we had to stop and that took a while, that we ended up skipping the blue bonnets and headed straight to the drive-in. The boys loved running around since we were the first ones there, then Tiffany and her kids with Dustin's mom met up with us there. The boys had a great time. The movies were Home and Cinderella. And Thomas stayed up for both of them! It was a fun late night.

Thursday we took all the kids to the Perot museum. That museum is awesome, the kids had a great time.

It was so fun hanging out with them, we can't wait till we see them this summer!
