Up Close With The Animals...

I love this face, priceless!

Anyone who knows us, knows we are at the Zoo all of the time. Clayton LOVES animals. Usually we miss the giraffe feedings because they have them at 2:00 and we are always long gone by then! On this particular day, they had them early because there were several school field trips there. Clayton was in heaven. This child is not scared of animals at all!!! They actually had to pull him back a little. I know he would have just gotten in the fence with them if they would let him. Who knows...maybe he will be a zoologist!?

First "Buzz Cut" by Daddy!

Love this face

Look at those baby blues

My handsome litte man

Clayton has had many haircuts by my hairdresser, but his hair just grows so fast we end up having to get it cut all the time. We have been going back and forth on whether or not to just start buzzing it at home. I was really nervous about how it would turn out. I love his little boy haircut, but it was just so hard to maintain it and with the weather getting hotter we decided it was time to give it a try. We had him in his highchair, and we both anticipated some screaming and resistance, but he did great!!!! It really turned out so cute, he looks like such a big boy, I can't believe how fast he is growing. I put a little gel in it and got some pictures. I didn't get any action pictures because I was using the video camera during that. He is such a handsome little man :)

Mother's Day 2011

I had a wonderful Mother's Day. This year I am twice blessed with the addition of Hollis. Last year I was pregnant, so you could also say I was blessed twice last year as well, but this year we get to enjoy him!!! I started out the morning with a cute Woody card from Hollis and Clayton. We then met my mom for lunch at Outback, and then took a flower to my grandma and visited with her. We spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing at home. I am so blessed to have my two precious baby boys, they fill my heart with joy and love beyond measure!!!! I am so thankful that God chose me to be their Mommy and I will forever be grateful. They are my whole word and always will be!

I wanted a picture of me and the boys in their cute matching outfits for Mother's Day...let's just say it was a little more challenging than one would think!

Take one, Clayton wants to go play in our landscaping, Hollis is fascinated by the grass, and I am talking to Scott
Take two I am the only one looking at the camera and Clayton is trying to escape

Almost!

My sweeties :)

On The Move Already!!!!

Hey mom...I'm stuck!

How did I get into this predicament?
He started out under the floor gym and scooted backwards, and ended up under the ottoman

What?!

How cute am I???!!!

Unbelievable!!! I can't believe my baby boy is already on the move!!! He just turned 5 months old. He is already getting up on his hands and knees, but only goes in one direction for now, backwards! Time is going by so fast, and we are enjoying all of these milestone moments :)

This was our 3rd Bunny Breakfast, and Kaitlyn's last before she is off to college!!! We always enjoy watching her perform, and this year was no exception. We had a new addition this Easter, our little Hollis man. Clayton had an absolute ball. His best buddy Owen came too. They saw clowns who made balloon animals, decorated cookies, colored pictures, went in the bounce house, and even met the Easter Bunny! I was surprised that Clayton was scared of the Easter Bunny because he loved Santa this year...go figure! This has become a tradition we look forward to every year!

Easter 2011

So excited about the dinosaurs!

We had a wonderful Easter Sunday as a family. Clayton wasn't really old enough last year to know what was going on as far as hunting eggs and the Easter Bunny, but this year he loved it. We had our own Easter egg hunt in the house because the neighborhood egg hunt was cancelled twice...we were supposed to host it at our house this year. Oh well, maybe next year! Anyway, as soon as Clayton woke up and came downstairs he noticed the eggs and started gathering them and opening each one along the way. Most of them were filled with his favorite candy, M&M's, better known as "emmies". He finally noticed his Easter basket sitting in the living room and headed straight for it. He got a Mater coloring book and markers, a puzzle, some candy, and miniature dinosaurs. Hollis opened his Easter basket too...he wasn't able to hunt eggs of course, but he got two books...the same books we got Clayton his first Easter "Guess How Much I Love You" and "I'll Love You Forever". Hollis also got a snail toy that works for belly time and later moves so that they can crawl after it, and puffs (for later). We went to Sunday service at Robert's Stadium, this is the last year it will be there because next year it will be at the new stadium!!! Afterwards we continued our tradition that began three years ago, and got Biaggi's to go and ate at Gi Gi's house. The boys opened even more Easter treats there, and Great Granny joined us. It was a wonderful Easter Sunday!
