Easter Weekend

We....took off Good Friday and played with the boys, headed to El Agave on Friday night for dinner, weathered horrible storms and tornadoes that wrecked parts of north St. Louis and the airport, headed to Washington for errands on Saturday morning, went to Aunt Carrie and Uncle Creep's for fresh fish that Uncle Creep and Uncle Boog caught that afternoon, walked to get ice cream with the Ross crew after dinner and ended up getting caught in the rain (the boys loved it!), Skyped Baa-Baa and Papa Mo on Sunday morning after an egg hunt around our house, enjoyed a huge meal at Gma and Gpa's before another Easter egg hunt, played in the puddles with Luke, blew bubbles and road the Zuma. And finally, baths and bed for all after one fun-filled, family-packed, yet rainy and cold Easter weekend. Whew.

Rain boots were a necessity this weekend.


I didn't intend on an action shot, but this is what I got!


Brady loves to wrestle with his daddy.


You almost have it, Brady!

What's up?

Since my last post....

1) I was in the hospital for extreme dehydration after days of the flu. I'm better now though!

2) Brady has had two ear infections, though you wouldn't know it. The kid is the happiest baby on the block - he eats well, sleeps well, loves his bath, smiles and giggles throughout the day, loves to sit by his brother and is still a mama's boy. Too bad he isn't crawling yet. His 25 lbs of girth is whipping my "summer arms" in to shape!

3) Carson has had the flu and battled a cold. After 4 missed days of day care and a persistent 100 degree fever, he's finally back to carrying on adult-like conversations with who ever will listen.

4) Nate was sick. He is NEVER sick! He's still battling a bad cold but is on the mend.

5) My parents visited us. (My dad actually held down the fort at our house while I was on an IV drip and Nate was taking care of me - THANK YOU, Papa Mo!)

6) Carson has become quite the little helper. When I pulled out my carpenter-grade tape measure to see how large our great room was, Carson was in-toe with his mini-version tape measure. Minutes later Carson decided to measure the back of the couch. When I asked him what it measured, he said, "Five toes." I was like, "Five toes? Oh, my goodness. You mean five feet. It's feet, Baby." Too cute!

7.) Nate settled a major case he was working on, so Daddy is around more and less stressed.

8.) We booked a trip to Florida this summer! Nate and me, the boys and my parents are going to load up the Yukon in August and head to the beach for an entire week. We're so excited!!!

9.) I deactivated my Facebook account. It really isn't all it's cracked up to be. Who really cares what acquaintances (at best!) are having for breakfast anyway?

10.) We bought a gi-normous swing set for the boys. It's still a work-in-progress, though Nate and his dad made major strides yesterday. I can't wait to see the look on Carson's face when we cut him loose on it!
