Weekend in Review

 Matthew had his hair cut for the first time on Saturday. I hated to see all those curls go but his hair kept getting in his eyes. It was time.

 Grandma, my mom, the master barber.

After

 

He looks pretty good!

 

Lo and behold there is still Easter candy at our house.

 

Messy girl.

But still pretty kissable.

Yesterday, we enjoyed the beautiful weather (before it rained) and played on the swings!

Matthew's first time swinging. He loved it!

So much going on in one picture. Liam is just chillin'.

Show-off!

Still loving it. (Sure, this picture is similar to the other one, but who can get enough of this cuteness? I sure can't.)

Matthew's first time on a wagon ride!

Our little Rookie!

Jack decided we needed to be the first family in the neighborhood with our lawn cut.

Flashback Foto Friday

 Christmas - my brother Doug, the baby, me and my brother Steven. Oh, and my new baby doll carriage! Notice the real tree in the back. I don't know how Doug stayed in the carriage. He was a butterball.

 Me, my baby bear and brother Doug. I was wearing one of my favorite shirts - a Mr. Planters Peanut t-shirt.

Me, my brother Steven, my new baby doll and brother Bill.

Like a Rhinestone Cowgirl

 

Maggie rode for the second time last night. The tears didn't last very long. She was soon giggling her way through the ride.

 

Checkin' out her peeps.

 

Maggie rode a different horse last night. Her old horse had recently gone to greener pastures. She and her new horse seemed to get along just great!

One handed. Saying hi to her cheering crowd.

Looking good baby!

Sitting still for a minute, I mean, second.

Getting ready to hit the trail.

The volunteers are always so sweet to the riders.

A little pony we saw - the perfect distance from saddle to the ground for me.

Mischief One and His Accomplice, Mischief Two.

A horse being groomed.

Coming back from the trail.

All smiles!

Easter Fun!

 

 

 

 

     

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Catching Up

 Was up?

Wow - it's been a rough month. I've taken so many photos of the kiddos but haven't felt like posting for a while.

Liam had been sick on and off for a month. He was actually sick the weekend of the wedding but seemed to come out of it on the actual wedding day. Our poor little guy was sick in the stomach and it was, (caution: disgusting stuff ahead), coming out of both ends. And it was back and forth, sick and healthy until he became sick for more than a week. And became this sick, sad little boy.

Unhappy sick boy.

 When we were so used to this goofy, ornery boy.

Liam was skin and bones. Finally, a specialist suggested he take gastric reflux medicine and things are turning around. He is back to his old self. 

Thank you God. (And please ignore the dirty laundry pile behind him.)

Future Donald Trump?

 I mean, Matthew's certainly got the hair. And it's all real baby just like Donald's, (cough).
