A day game!

April 22, 2013

On Saturday, we met up with some friends and drove down to Tuscaloosa for the A Day game.  It was a beautiful spring day and we had a great time.  Maxwell loved getting to play with his friend, Chiles, and Spencer loved the view from the carrier strapped onto me!  Let me tell ya – carrying 20 lbs of baby all over the town and the stadium gets heavy!

The whole way down Maxwell was talking about getting a hot dog.  I have no idea where he got the idea but he was stuck on it.  Now, he’s never eaten a hot dog before (his choice) and when it came time to actually eat the hot dog in the stadium…well…

“No.”  figures.  (ps – I love the faces of the dudes in the background.  what?!)  He did warm up to the hot dog though and ate quite a bit of hot dog bun and maybe 1 or 2 little bites of the actual hot dog when it was all said and done!  🙂

Spencer enjoyed some lunch at the game too!

First, happy SIX MONTHS to Spencer today!  whoa!  half a year!  How did that happen?!  Taking him to his 6 month checkup today so will have full details tomorrow and pictures soon!

Last week, Maxwell was wearing his new camera shirt so I thought I should take some pictures of him with my camera!

He got up that morning and immediately asked to play in his yellow dirt so we had breakfast outside!  Love that slight bedhead and those sleepy, swollen, morning eyes!

That afternoon we enjoyed the spring weather and explored the back yard as always!

Azaleas

April 17, 2013

It’s the one week of the year when all of our azaleas are in bloom!  well, they last for more than one week but they don’t last long.  Had to get some photos while they were in bloom and my model was willing to help me out…with a little bribery of course!  🙂

Last week we also had a visit from Robert’s sister, Mary Beth and her husband, Holland – affectionately known as Aunt Messy and Uncle Messy!  🙂

The past week

April 15, 2013

While you were all checking out our lake pictures last week, life continued as normal here.  What happened last week?  Well, let’s see…

Spencer was sick.  Poor, poor baby.  He had just finished a round of antibiotics for an ear infection and we were back up at the doc not even 2 weeks later with another ear infection and some major, major chest congestion.  I think it’s all been made worse with some teething pain and has added up to one pitiful baby boy.  Dr. Walley decided to put him on a round of steroids to try and break up the chest congestion to see if that would allow the ear to drain on it’s own.  It worked but it’s been a long road.  Ready for my baby to be back to 100%

Pollen.  SO MUCH POLLEN.  It’s like it snowed green here.  I’ve never really had allergies before but I was no match for this pollen.  Sneezing, running nose, miserable.  But, the rain came on Thursday and washed most of it away.  Hooray!

I planted all of my herbs and tomatoes and can’t wait for them to start growing.

Maxwell got a a haircut and has done lots of playing outside in the yellow dirt, kicking the ball around and even some art projects!  It’s been a good week!

Here’s a few iphone pics from the past week…
