Just because...

Had to put this one up here - because she's cute!

New Stuff

Hi! Here are a couple new blogs (this one and the one below) with some pics from our activities in the past month or so. March flew by for us. We're still not sure where it went. But, as you'll see in the pictures, there was a lot going on.

The kids are doing great. Ashlyn's working (STILL) on popping teeth through her gums. She's enjoying the experience, as you can imagine. Other than that, she spends the majority of her time trying to figure out how to do whatever it is Colson is doing. She is quite the character. Very sweet, extremely cuddly and ever-so stunning to stare at! She has sucked us all in with her amazing smile!

Colson is as crazy wild as ever. He is loving all stuff Disney Cars - I am loving that he recognizes it's Disney! Ah, let the brainwashing begin. I'm currently trying to explain how Pixar fits into the picture. A lesson all 3 year olds should have, of course. He has been busy doing what he does best with his "favorites" - memorizing the Cars movie. It's pretty funny to hear lines from the movie in his high-pitched voice.

Here are some highlights from our past month...

We've been busy with visitors, holidays and fun events all around...

Easter Egg hunting...

A visit from Nate. Of course, no one had the sense to get a group picture until JUST before Nate was leaving for the airport. So, we got a lot of "the face" from Ashlyn! She was ready for a snack, not a photo shoot at that moment!

Birthday (Sylvia & Emma's) cupcakes with Gramps, Sylvia and Emma. Probably more sugar in one dose than Colson has ever had before!

And, a ride with our friend, Thomas the Tank Engine!

More New Stuff

Ah, the winter in Dallas! One of our two "Snow" days. Just enough to see, but not much on the ground...just how we like it!

And, below, the kids have fun with their huge snowfall...








We've also been busy potty training...so far, so good! Just imagine how much he will love looking at these pictures when he's older! :)







And, here is what the golf course looks like after 5 inches of rain in about 8 hours. Typically, there's not a lake behind our house...










Just hanging out at the Little Gym

Rain Rain, Go Away!

I thought I'd put a little update here, since our weather seems to have made it to some of the news website's homepages. Yes, we got a lot of rain today. No, we are not washed away quite yet. As of the last check about 5 minutes ago, we had gotten 4.32 inches of rain in the past 24 hours (measurement thanks to Steve's weather station thing on the roof). We got very little of that overnight. Basically, the rain really started about 10:00 this morning - right as we were preparing for a quick run to Target. The kids made it through the trip fairly dry - Nate and I were a different story.
I took some pictures of the temporary lake out back and the flooded new garden. I'll post those in a day or so...must go get some sleep now!
