Capturing our adventures one photo at a time...
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! 🙂
This is about how excited he was to be posing in pictures for me…
Then I promised him a Hersey Kiss and got this!
Bribery is my friend!! 🙂
Love spring and pretty flowers!
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! 🙂
We treat our guests right around here and were sure to give them the most comfortable seats in the house! 🙂
Maxwell had fun playing football with Robert and Holland…
and Mary Beth had fun loving on Spencer!
We got the tunnel out…
and then Robert did this and I laughed.
Then Maxwell had to do it too, of course!
Funny boy.
We always love seeing Aunt and Uncle Messy!
See you tomorrow!
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…
See you tomorrow!
We woke up at the lake bright and early Easter morning only to find out the Easter Bunny had been there! Hot dog! He left some fun goodies for both Maxwell and Spencer…
I think Maxwell’s favorite gift was the egg full of M&Ms..for real. After the M&Ms, his favorites were the new Cars plate (and his brother’s Thomas plate!)..
his monkey house shoes…
and the slinky.
He has loved his nerf football too! Spencer loved his Elmo rattle…
but Spencer’s favorite was the bendable bunny, hands down. That bunny has been in his mouth pretty much every day since Easter!
Not only did the bunny leave some fun presents, he also hid eggs all over the deck for Maxwell to hunt! By this point, Maxwell was a master egg hunter so had no problem finding all of the orange and yellow eggs…
and even one golden egg!
While all of the orange and yellow eggs had stickers in them, the golden egg had a Twix in it! yum!
I think Robert was hoping to get his fishing line back in the water one more time that morning, but before we could even finish our pancakes the rain came! Oh well! Overall it was a really fun weekend…even if we never did catch a fish! 🙂
On Saturday afternoon, we drove over to the Easter egg hunt outside of Montgomery that we go to every year (2012 and 2011). It’s hosted by the parents of one of Robert’s friends from high school and it’s always a fun time and good chance for him to see some old friends. Of course, you’ve got to dress up in some Easter duds to hunt the eggs! Spencer wore the same bubble Maxwell wore last year and Maxwell rocked some seersucker pants. Lookin’ sharp!
We got really lucky with the weather this year – the rain held off and the temps were perfectly pleasant! We almost didn’t make it into the hunt though. When we got there, we parked and quickly realized we were totally stuck in mud. The Jeep was sunk down deep in muck and mire! (that’s for you, Robert!) Luckily someone with a tow rope was right there and gave us a quick tow to get us out. That would have been a mess if he hadn’t been there! But, we made it in and were happy to be there!
When it was time to hunt for eggs, the boys were off!
Maxwell did pretty good finding lots of the candy that was hidden around the grounds…
and then he got to eat his findings. His favorite? a Cadbury Cream Egg! yum! He loved it just like his momma does! 🙂
Spencer was a hit with all the ladies…they couldn’t stop squeezing on his cute little cheeks!
Maxwell had fun running around, eating cookies and swinging!
Spencer and I took our picture with the (scary!) Easter bunny. I had just handed my camera to some man to take the picture – he had a great eye, huh?! 🙂
It was a fun day!
See you tomorrow for the last of the Easter posts!
