Spring in Fast Forward...

The last month has been super busy around here. We have had a lot going on, plus some health issues like viruses and allergy attacks- not to mention a holiday weekend! So, here is an overview of the last month of Spring.

Spring snow.... yes, we had a "spring" snow in March. Tobin loved it! It only stuck around for about a day. Tony and Tobin did their best to play as much as they could! You can see how many inches we got by looking at our little tykes picnic table in the back yard.























Ever wonder what our Oklahoma winds do to snow?

Looks like a snow wave. Pretty amazing, isn't it?



Before this snow, I only thought flowers popping through snow happened in the movies. Apparently not!




Tony and Tobin have been reading super hero books a lot lately. Tobin is really into superheros. Especially Batman and Superman!







We got a "free" candy with our movie the other day at the rental place. Tobin picked out "Mater Teeth". If you don't know who Mater, from the movie Cars is, then you won't get this. If you do- you might think this is hilarious! Instead of a ring pop, it had teeth! So funny!



Tobin is 100% potty trained now! We are so proud of him. No accidents, even at night time! To be honest, I never thought this day would come. We took him to Toys-R-Us (with a gift card and coupon) and told him he could pick any toy he wanted. He picked a Batman castle. I need to take some photos of him playing with it. Along with the castle, of course, they make all kinds of extras (that you have to buy) with it. He has been saving up his money for a long time and he bought a Green Lantern to go with his Batman toys last week. He was so proud of himself! Green Lantern is Batman's friend. He came with a green Jet and it even shoots darts OH BOY! (sense the sarcasm)



Little Miss has been learning what words mean lately. She found this bowl of peppermints in Tony's office this week. She got closer ...
...and closer....
... then mean o' momma said "no ma'am!" This was her reaction...


Tobin is getting to be such a grown up, handsome boy...

... who is very independent and protective of his things. Caroline hates this Dinosaur- it roars and lights up. So, to protect her from going in his room and playing with his things this is what he did...

Yes, he put the dinosaur right in front of his door! What a smarty pants!



Caroline is going through a picky eating faze. Between baby food and real food. Some days, she doesn't eat much at all. However, she is growing so the Ped. said not to worry about it. She sure loves bananas, though! See the necklaces on her shoulder? She LOVES to be a girl and is so girly! She loves purses and shoes and jewelry. It's so funny!

One day, a couple weeks ago- Tobin told me "Sissy's awake!" When she wakes up from nap, he's always the first one in there! This day, by the time I got in there, they were sword fighting! I thought it was hilarious and grabbed my camera to snap a pic!
We are enjoying our days outside--hope you are, too! More photos of Spring activities to come, soon!


Easter Weekend 2010

Our Family of Four, the Friday before Easter


Easter Sunday, with our coordinating outfits. I wish we had taken another pic from head to toe. Oh well...



Miss Caroline, the weekend before Easter in her sweet pink dress :)










Saturday before Easter, we headed out to Choctaw for the annual Egg Hunt. It was Caroline's first time to "hunt" eggs (or put them in her basket when we handed them to her). Anyway, we had a great time! I think we all really enjoyed ourselves.


Trying to find his age group with daddy.



Thirsty girl!




Getting ready to start!





"So, I just put these in my basket?"


"I like these eggs, but why is everyone screaming?"


"I think I'll take them out now, and put them in my lap".

Mimi and Caroline after the hunt. She was excited!


Lined up, ready to go!

See Tony running with Tobin? Tony is in the yellow and white stripped shirt!


"Just concentrate on the eggs, just get them all!"




"I did pretty good, but I don't wanna pose for a pic, can I just open them already mom?!"

THE EASTER BUNNY!!!



Caroline was terrified!




"Get me outta here, Daddy!"


Tony and his Mamaw



Mimi, Mamaw, Caroline, cousin Emily, and Tobin

When we got back to Mimi's house, the "Easter Bunny" had left baskets a day early! How exciting!


She was so excited!






Emily, with her basket! We love Emily!

Almost walking on her own, if she would be brave enough!


So sleepy from all that Easter egg hunting!


EASTER SUNDAY:

After church, we headed out to Mimi's again. Lots of yummy food to eat!



...And more eggs to hunt!








Cousin Allen and Tobin, showing off their loot!

Sweet Siblings...







They were tired and fell asleep on the way home! What a busy weekend!

I hope your Easter was terrific! I hope everyone remembered the true sacrifice that we celebrate on Easter! Thank you Jesus for paying the debt for our sin!

Summertime Steadiness

Is anyone else having trouble finding routine in the craziness that is summer 2020? I am a planner. Yes, I still carry around a paper planne...
