Happy Mother's Day!

Well we are finally all moved and settled in here in AR. We miss Alabama alot, but it is SO nice being so close to the family. For Mother's Day we cooked out for lunch at my brother in-laws house and went and ate Japanese with my Mom and Dad for dinner. We had a great time and I am so thankful we were able to spend it with our Mother's this year! I hope all you Mothers out there had a fabulous Mother's Day!

Spring Break

 Last week was Spring Break and we did all kinds of fun activities! We took a road trip to Tuscaloosa and went to The Children's Hands on Museum, we went to a couple of playgroups, had green night, and was able to go to the park a couple of times. We had a great week! It was nice having Braydon home all week. We got to do things we aren't usually able to do due to pre-k. I'm definately sad that it is over...Braydon on the otherhand is ready to go back to school and see his friends...Brinkley and I apprarently are not as much fun!  :)

We love to play some dress up!

Green Night

  For St Patricks Day this year we did another green night. Red Night was such a hit, why not have a green night?!? The kids loved it! Our menu for dinner included Chicken with green basil pesto, green beans, and green mac and cheese....yes I said green. :) We also had green jello for dessert and green koolaid for drinks...yummo!  It was a fun night! Happy St Patrick's Day!

Brinkley's in her Big Girl Bed!

   Brinkley is not even 18 months old yet and we have already had to put her in a Toddler bed. This girl is our monkey child! She kept crawling out of her bed so we decided it might be safer to just take her out of the baby bed. I was very nervous about this..if you have ever met Brinkley you would know why...She isn't scared of anything and she seems to have figured out all the childproof locks and doorknob covers...I could just see her roaming our house at night and waking up to who knows what!

   The first night was rough. She kept getting out and after a little over an hour or so she stayed in it and fell asleep. Whew! Or so I thought...At around 2am I hear her on  the monitor crying and beating on her door. I went in there to put her back in her bed and went back to bed..As soon as I got all warm and comfy and ready to fall back asleep I hear her again...So I get back up with the same routine..This carried on for a couple of hours so I put her in bed with Jerron and I...So pretty much we did not sleep that night. It was a rough night!

 I am happy to say that day 2 she did perfectly! She is not getting out of her bed anymore..She stays in bed all night until I come get her out! I am so proud of her! Nap time is a little tricky though..She gets out of bed and plays in her room which I am fine with as long as she isn't screaming and she is content staying in there for the alloted time. Usually everyday when I go to check on her this is what I find after 15-20 minutes of quiet.  :)

Braydon's First T-ball Practice

      Yesterday was Braydon's first T-ball practice. He looked so cute in his T-ball gear!I cannot believe my sweet little boy is old enough to play T-ball. He is getting so big! It's hard to believe how fast time flies. Braydon is so pumped about T-ball and he keeps telling me all the people he wants to come see him play. He is even naming random people from church, a kid we saw in Target one time..Just the most random people...I had to explain to Braydon that the whole State of Alabama could not come watch. :) It's so funny how their little minds work. I love this age!

Wheel Day

    Braydon's school had Wheel day today at school. All the kids brought their bikes and helmets and rode in the school parking lot. Braydon thought this was the coolest thing ever!!! They sent home a calendar at the beginning of the month to let us know and Braydon has asked every morning since then if today was the day he could take his bike. I took this picture before we left for school.

Brinkley is 17 Months Old
