Easter Morning


So it happened again. The Easter bunny found our house. He was very generous and brought Liam some Backyardigan toys, which are currently his favorite.
Nana Poulson actually got the boys these outfits for Easter. Unfortunately for us it snowed the day before and was a windy 30 degrees Easter Morning. But I felt they needed to be included. Maybe a few more weeks and they can wear them. I hope I hope!
If you notice Owen was so excited for his new Paci that he spit Liam's old one out and was drooling at the thought of his new ones! Mmmmmm Paci....

Egg Hunters







My neighbor and I both missed the community egg hunt so we did one for our boys at the park. Liam understood what he needed to do this year much better than last. Next year, watch out. He'll be that kid that takes all the eggs and doesn't leave any for the other ones.

Happy Easter




If only there could be a double me for moments like this. We wanted a picture of all of us, other than a close up of Nate's arm, a shadow, and off center. We got one that had all of us in it. Not all looking at the camera, but there!

Sunday Best


These were the makeshift outfits for Easter. Oh to be back in the tropical weather and wearing shorts and capri's at Easter again. something I will remember for next year. Go with the pants.

Not so little anymore



I can't believe how big Liam is. Youd don't realize your baby has grown up until a real baby re-enters the family. He'll always be my baby, but at the rate he is growing, he'll soon pass me up.

Just a few more of Owen...

























I promised myself there wouldn't be more pictures of Liam when he was a baby, and I'd still try and capture all Owens cute moments on film (well digital) too. So far so good.

Man of Honor


So my girlfriend Molly, feels that every child should have a party or shower after they are born. Whether they are a first child, or a fifth child.
She didn't want Owen to be an exception to her rule.
After we returned from Utah she threw him a "Sip and See." So all our friends could come meet the little guy and just have fun catching up.
I've been a bit of a hermit since he was born. Not because I didn't want to go out, but because I wanted to keep the RSV and other sickies away.
It was really fun to see everyone, and Owen is so cute, and yes I know I'm partial to him, but what mother isn't? After nine months of pregnancy, you'd think anything was beautiful once it no longer inhabited your uterus.

Eat your heart out Martha





Molly is such an awesome cook! She made everything so beautiful. Everyone needs a friend like her! (and she did it all in my signature colors! She's amazing.)

MyGuys


More babies to come


Both these fine ladies are expecting. And due really close to each other. I think they can both find out what they're having next week:)

Tuckered out





It's hard being so cute! Thanks "Ollie" for such a fun sip and see. You are the best!

Funny, Cause I think the same thing. Maybe it's because Nate and I look alike???

What do i do on Nate's call nights?




Look through friends blogs and find stupid widgets. I thought this one was funny though.

The first smiles


Well Owen has officially found his social smile. He smiles with only half his mouth, but oh so sweet. He must have heard that Dad was getting a week of vacation, and we are headed off to Utah to see family for the week. I smiled about this too.

Brotherly love.

So Liam has been a great Big brother since Owen got here. He is always giving him loves and helping me in any way he can. Sometimes a little too much help. You can tell by some of the pictures, Owen's a little unsure of his big brother, mostly those big hands and head that occasionally play a little harder than he'd like.


(You'll have to excuse the baby talk. But that is what makes the kid smile and talk so try and block out my voice and focus on the baby.)

Liam wants me to know he can smile and I don't even have to talk baby to him. What a cheese ball.


A long day



What do you do when you get to the airport and your flight is delayed an hour? You ride the escalator a million times, and play hide n seek in the terminal.
All in all the boys did great for a 12 hour travel day!

Lonestar Taqueria



A visit to Utah would not be complete with out at least one run to the best little hole in the wall Mexican joint. I'm having a hard time writing this and not salivating all over the keys just thinking about it. MMMM MMM Good! Also a favorite of Aunt Amy who was able to join us on her lunch break.

Can you tell me how to get...


It just so happened that the big exhibit this month at the Children's museum was Sesame Street. It was all about your body. Liam was ecstatic. He was a little unsure about Oscars can though. When you pulled on the lid, Oscar would shout out to you to scram!
Thanks Sissy for taking us.

Watermelons



Liam can't quite figure out if they are real or fake.He chose correctly and proceeded to pretend eat them. A perfect way to freak a germ-a-phobe mom like me out. The hand sanitizer was out of my bag immediately!

Poor Uncle Stino


The kids love to attack Justin whenever he's around. Sadly, only Liam is an actual Nephew. (or Niece)
But a brownie point for him! See all single ladies, he's great with kids!!!

Birthdays

Liam and his cousin Tessa have birthdays three weeks apart. We've actually had joint parties for them the last two birthdays. We didn't do a party for them this time, but they did get to open their Birthday presents from each other. I think my favorite part was Tessa. She was so excited.




This was my favorite. Hearing Tess say Cinderella, or really Cinerllllellla. SO cute! Love you Tessie.
