my birthday!!

YAY! It was my birthday, and it was so much fun!!!!
I spent the weekend celebrating with family and friends, and getting valuable phone calls from those who couldn't celebrate with me. My parents came out for the weekend, and it was so wonderful to see them. I got to introduce my mom to anthropologie for the first time, and we enjoyed sweet time together shopping and eating and laughing.

My dad got to take Micah to the golf store to put numerous times, and now the employees there know little micah by name.

For my birthday, my parents hung out with the boys and we went out with Bret & Megan and Andrew & Melinda for dinner to a hibachi steak house and then to a movie - Akeelah and the Bee. The dinner was INCREDIBLE, and the movie was great. What a treat to dress up, go out with friends, and have a night out.



Here I am sporting my hott birthday presents from Jeremy: a b-day outfit, and beautiful new bedding from anthropologie.

good reminders from the weekend: I really am still a woman! I love sudoku!! My family and friends love me so very much! Hibachi steakhouses are the best food ever! When shopping is a rare occurence, I appreciate it so much more, and have a blast! My babies are the cutest little monkeys ever! My husband is too good to me!
for those of you I wasn't with, I missed you. For those whom I was with, THANKS!!!!!

Happy Easter!

What a wonderful Easter we had!!!

First, we went to church and celebrated Jesus' resurrection. Then we went to the hospital to visit Great Grandmom ("Big Grandmom" to Micah). She has not been feeling well at all, but she seemed so glad to see the boys.
Then, it was off to the event that Micah had been asking about all week: THE BABY CHICKS!! Grandma has a friend who lives out in the country, and they just had some baby chicks hatch, so she asked if Micah would like to come and see them. When he heard that on Easter he would get to see baby chicks and hunt eggs with candy in them, he could hardly wait. Each morning he woke up asking if we could "go to Easter?"

Micah was a little unsure when he first saw the chicks, and slowly touched one on the head.

Tyler, on the other hand, was a go getter and couldn't hardly wait to get ahold of one of those chicks.

Our Beautiful Easter boys!


After that, the boys took a nap, then we had a nice Easter dinner and the egg hunt at Grandmom and Poopah's house. Micah had so much fun, and each time he found an egg, he would run to it and say "WWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWW!!" and pick it up, put it in his Easter basket and then say "LET"S GET ANOTHER ONE!!"
Rah Rah helped carry the Easter basket...

Fun times with family...




We were struck this Easter with God's goodness to us, and we hope you were too!

76 degrees today!

For playtime today, we enjoyed getting outside in the beautiful spring weather. Tyler played in his exersaucer under the shade of the tree, and Micah and I played soccer. Then we all sat under the tree and read stories.
Favorite story of the day: Where the Wild Things Are!

Bee Bee

Aunt Annie gave Tyler a monkey once for a present, and recently, Micah has decided that HE loves the monkey and must be with it all the time. We went for a ride in the stroller and Micah really wanted to bring the monkey. I asked him "Micah, what's the monkeys name?" and he thought for a minute and then said, "It's Bee Bee."

Now micah wants Bee Bee to eat his meals with him. He plays peekaboo with Bee Bee. He makes Bee Bee sneeze and puts his hand over his mouth and says, "a a a achooo." He knows it's Tylers monkey, so he still lets Bee Bee take naps with Tyler.


I can't believe how cute he is.
