Happy Birthday Daddy!!!















 Let's start this post off with a happy birthday song to daddy...since
today is his special day!

Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to Daddy.....
Happy birthday to you..........and many more!

Ella, Parker and I hope your day is wonderful, sweet, amazing,
fun and awesome just like you!

Get ready for a yummy dinner tonight with us to celebrate YOU because we LOVE
you so much!!!

No on to sooooooooo many pictures...go ahead and take a seat because there are
tons of them!
This picture below is from a couple months ago along with most of these pics.
They are from my camera and not my phone and that's why it took me longer to get
them on here.
Bella boo, Becca Boo and Papa came over to hang out with us and play and Bell boo
was doing her "happy dance"
Love that our kiddos
get to grow up together!




































Ella & Bella Boo

Alright, so these pics are from our 5 year anniversary
and the surprise I had for Chris.
We stayed at Hotel Sorella in City Center for the night
while Granny & Poppa kept the babies overnight (Parker for
the first time).


This place was awesome and they even upgraded us
to a king deluxe suite in a corner room!
And they had chocolate covered strawberries and champagne
waiting for us as well!

We just walked around exploring for a little while until it was time to
go up to our room and get ready for the night.

I wore the robe!!!  It was nice and comfy!

Ready to go!

We ate at RA sushi and then went to Mona Lisa Bar
which was in the hotel afterwards.


We got to see an awesome band named Uncle Lucius!
We had an amazing time and WAY too much to drink
(I guess since we didn't have to drive anywhere and didn't have
the babies we went WILD!)  lol
I didn't feel so hot the next day but thankfully we had a late check out.


The next day we went to Ethan's 3rd birthday party
at The Lowry casa.  

I can't believe he is already 3 years old!


Love this family!

Ethan got this awesome cape for the superhero he is!


Now onto our spring break trip.
we went camping at lake livingston and had a
really great time!

We went out to the Lake and got in the FREEZING cold water!
Actually I got in only up to my knees and was freezing!


Peanut found him a friend...


And so did Ella!

We went out on a paddleboat (you know the ones where you have to pedal like
a bike.)  Well, this was the only time Peanut was smiling.  He couldn't stand that
life jacket around his neck so he cried and whined for 45 mins. while we were out
there.  It was kindof miserable.  Guess we won't be doing that again anytime
soon at least. :-)

LOVE this picture!

Can you guess what we were making here....
camping, camp fire, chocolate, graham crackers, marshmellows...
yep, smores!  So messy but sooooooo good!

They didn't get a picture of me because I was pretty clean. :-)



just a couple bluebonnet pictures...


They look so much alike here!

Daddy was frolicking out in the wildflowers with the girls
singing, I feel pretty, oh so pretty...lol


See the butterfly flying above Ella's head...
It was following her.



or maybe she was following the butterfly.


Pointing at the train...










Grandma and Pawpaw

OK, so a little update on our Peanut...

He is saying so many words now and is
showing us something new every day!
He is so friendly in the grocery store or really
anywhere we go.  He says, HI and HELLO
kindof with a british accent. He blows kisses
and says BYE.
The other day at Daddy's field day at his
school,  Peanut went up to Chris' pricipal,
Pam, and gave her a big hug and kept trying to kiss
her on the lips but she kept turning to her cheek.
He tried a couple of times but ended up giving
one on the cheek anyways.
His favorite words consist of
ROCK, NUT, WATCH, SHOE,
DIRT, ICE, POOPOO, YES, NO, FLIP FLOP,
MOMO (his little
bunny he sleeps with), of course ELLA,
MOMMA, DADA and he is putting sentences
together too.  He says, I LOVE YOU DADA!
He knows how to find the match to a shoe
in our shoe basket.
He knows all his body parts and his vowels.
He's just growing up way too fast
but it sure is fun to watch him!

This was at Granny & Poppa's celebrating Easter.
I love his smiles!


Big Easy!

Poppa, AKA, Bunny rabbit, hopped around with his ears on
and the babies thought he was really funny!


Granny took a turn at being a bunny too.





Ella was being so sweet giving Parker
some of her eggs.


My baby girl...
She loves doodle bugs,
told me the other day, "Mommy, you are the best,
most strongest cooker ever!"
She says, "Super Califonia Everybody Doches"
She's not taking naps regularly anymore
just once or twice a week and we are definitely struggling
with it.  She knows that while Peanut is sleeping
that it is quiet time but she continues to be loud
on purpose because she wants to wake Parker up. :-(

She had her first slumber party with her Aunt Jojo this weekend
and with her cousin Sofia.  She had a blast!
They went shopping for their bathing suits and came
back with a couple pairs of flip flops, a little stuffed
animal called gumdrop and some panties.
When I got there to pick her up, she was bathed
and of course she didn't want to come home with me. :-(
She wanted to stay with Aunt Jojo and Sofia.

She has been VERY defiant lately and seriously, the 3's
have been so much worse than 2's!
She can be so sweet and then she turns around and
is like a different child.  Holy cow, it takes a lot
of patience and I pray for that daily!

I have always dreamed of being a "Stay at home Momma"
of course while doing photography too and I never
had any false notions that it was easy.  It is certainly the hardest,
most challenging job I've ever had and at the same time
the most rewarding!  I wouldn't have it any other way!

These pictures cracked me up!
So Ethan had somewhat of a black eye and you'll see later on in the pictures
Sofia had a black eye too!







lol

Ella likes how her hair looks after taking her braids out.

We played spaids for a little while and of course us girls won...as usual!



The next day we went to Navasota to celebrate Easter with
Nana and Pappy and Grandma and Pawpaw and the
rest of the family.

Sitting with Pawpaw on the swing.  Love this porch!





Never knew that Nana & Pappy lived in a house
that was REALLY meant for them!
Their house in Navasota is a historical house in which
was built in 1898 for a man named Ewing Norwood & his wife.
Well, Nana and Pappy's last name is Ewing!
Pretty neat huh!  And it's a gorgeous house too!

Ella was patiently waiting to go outside to hunt
easter eggs.

Nana & Pappy



Jojo lookin all hot!

Love this baker's rack idea for plants!

Aunt Kay passed out the Easter baskets while the kiddos
patiently waited.









That's enough pictures mommy!

my boys





The three muskateers...lookin so good!

Poor Sofia with the black eye! 


Sweet moment...Daddy with Peanut and cousin Stella

Stella was showing Uncle Chris that her shoe was broken.




Chris and I juiced for 4 days right after Easter to DETOX!
It actually felt great after getting past the hunger!
We juiced every veggie and fruit under the sun and it tasted wonderful!

Love this picture of Daddy and Peanut.

OK, so that is it for a little while on the pictures from my camera
lol...I think I got all of them from the last couple months.

Hope everyone has a great week!
