We had Emme's 2 year pictures taken last Saturday and Michelle was sweet enough to snap a few of both kiddos too.  Take a look at her blog.  She does amazing work, so if you need a photographer in the Houston area, she's your gal!  Here are the pics from our sneak peek:

  

 I CANNOT wait to see the rest!  {love}

A Big Girl

My baby graduated from a high chair to a booster at the kitchen table on May 4, 2011.  We officially have no more babies in high chairs.  It's such a bittersweet feeling!  I can't believe how big she is now and in just a little over a month, she will be 2 years old. 


Her new thing?  To ask for water in Spanish.  "I want some agua please, Mommy."  Ha!  Love her to pieces!   

Spring Show 2011

I hate the way Emme's teachers did her hair, but oh well. 

 Jackson was in the back and hard to see most of the time. 

It was still a fun thing and I love that their school does this program every year!  I will so miss these when we "age out" of this sweet school! 

I can't get the videos to load, but I will keep working on it.  Blogger is becoming increasingly more difficult for me - ugh!

Easter Possum???

We had a very lovely Easter this year, despite the rocky start.  There was drama surrounding finding Jackson an Easter outfit.  Jackson has outgrown every pair of pants he owns, well unless there is a flood and then he's golden!  I searched high & low, went to no less than 7 stores before finally finding him suitable pants the night before.  Easter morning, we get up and I go get him dressed and they don't fit.  Ugh!  I could cinch them up in the waist and they were long enough, but the legs were massive and totally unacceptable.  So since I had no backup plan, we heathens didn't go to chucrh on Easter.  :(  I know, terrible, right?  So this year our Easter consisted of an egg hunt at our house, another egg hunt at Yaya & Pops' house and of course, yummy food!  Cedar plank salmon & asparagus {love}!  Here are a few pics...   

Yaya's egg hunt - Jackson was running around like a wild man, I only got pictures of the back of his head most times:

We blew bubbles that afternoon - always a favorite!

Emme has started clasping her hands over her mouth when she laughs. 

I could eat her up, she is so adorable!

We left my parents' early because Aaron had to clean our gutters before our HOA strung him up.  While he was working our neighbor (a wonderful retired lady, Karen who lives alone) came running over saying something was in her garage.  Keep in mind that Aaron's mom has instilled a deep screaming (like a girl) fear of any and all rodents in him since birth, but he went right over and set out a trap and caught it for her.  Karen hates them so much, she wanted Aaron to get his pitch fork after him, but I felt sorry for the little guy and snuck a dish of water into the cage and forbid Aaron from killing it.  You can't kill one of God's creatures on Easter!  The poor fella got into some D-Con in her garage and I'm afraid he wasn't long for this world, but he was still a-hissin' when Aaron drove him out to the country and let him go. 

Hope everyone had a joyous Easter!
