Fun Times

It rained recently and Dylan wanted to go outside. I explained that it was rainy and wet and we couldn't, but he insisted. He ran to get his jacket (that he outgrew several months ago), it was so funny I had to take a picture.

Ready to play in the rain.                                 

"Oh no, momma!" (His hair got wet.)

He didn't care for long, though.

I was digging through Hensley's closet the other day and found this adorable onesie, it says "Bling is my Thing". She'd never worn it and it was a 0-3mo. (She's 6 mo now) So we squeezed her into it for this picture, it's just a little snug.. =)

She's getting so big and sweeter and sweeter every day. She is such a joy! She likes to laugh. She thinks Dylan is hilarious. 

Pinching those adorable chubby cheeks!

Hensley just looooves her Gran!

I have to be careful leaving my clothes lying around, lately Dylan's been trying them on…

My fabulous house shoes.

Daddy would be so proud. :)

It can also be worn as a hat…who knew?

A few weeks ago Jeremy and I were lucky enough to have the best baby sitters (his parents) watch the kids while we went swimming. It was so foreign being without them. Our "vacation" lasted a whole 7 hours! (Hensley didn't eat the entire time so we had to cut it short.) It was fun while it lasted though.

New Post! Alert the presses!

Yes, I'm a terrible blogger, it's true. Sorry for the long delay. I've been meaning to post updates. I'll take pictures of the kids doing cute things, but somehow never find the time to sit down and write about it.

A lot has happened over the past 2 months, so sit back and grab some chips, this could take awhile.

Dylan turned 2 in March, so we had a little party at Hunny and Pop Pops house when we went home for Easter. It was a lot of fun, the Hamptons, Chapmans, Goodnights and Smiths all came out to party.

Fun party pics.

Dylan loooves his new playset (in college station). His favorite way to slide is face first, of course. We have to go outside everyday to "ide" and "wing". 

Aunt Addie and Uncle Jimmy brought the real fun though...baby goats. Jackson, Dylan and Asa were so cute to watch. Even Hensley got in on the action.

I braved a trip to Austin alone last weekend while Jeremy went fishing with friends. It was exhausting keeping up with 2 little ones! I don't think I'll try that again anytime soon, but we had a lot of fun. Amanda and I thought it would be cute to get Dylan and Jackson to sleep in the same bed, to prepare them for Gulf Shores this summer. It worked for a few hours anyway. Maybe next time we'll try it with seperate beds.

Dylan's new funny face.

Right before we left.

The other day Dylan took his shorts off while watching cartoons, his newest trick.  I told him to go put his pants back on, thinking he'd probably call me to come help. He came back a few minutes later like

this. 

Dylan the Merman.

Falling didn't slow him down either, he was still hard to catch.

Yesterday I was attacked by this scary monster. He would run into walls, laugh and say "Grrr! I mon-er, momma!"

Making sure I was still running.

Now it's Hensley's turn. I can't believe she's almost 5 mo! I just want to slam on the brakes, it's going by so fast. Who wants to see some Hensley cuteness?? I do! I do!

Hensley at 4 mo.

My little Easter Bunny.

Waking up from a nap with a smile.

Where's Heeensley??

First time trying cereal...she thought it was poison.

Aunt Jo showing off her handy work. The toenails, not the baby.

I love this one! Hutch thought something was hysterical and Hens has the sweetest angel face...she get it from her momma.

Hensley made a new friend over Easter, Sean Anthony Acuna (Bany's baby). He was born at 26wks, so he's a true miracle baby. He's 5 mo here.

Hensley holding his hand. A little forward, that one.

Aren't they adorable! :)

SNOOOOOW!!

I'm sure everyone's sick of snow at this point, but it's still new to us. We had our first snow this Tuesday and I enjoyed it...for about 10min. Dylan, on the other hand, couldn't get enough.

Chasing snowflakes.

Showing me soggy sidewalk chalk he found. "EEOW!"

It was really coming down.

The first mention of going back inside.

Aaaand we're inside.

Hunny in CS

Hunny came for a visit last week and we had SO MUCH FUN! We ate good food, Jeremy and I were able to go on a date (woowoowee!), Dylan got to play with his Hunny ALL DAY EVERY DAY for 4 days (sorry about that mom, I know you're still recovering), and I was able to get a whole lot of work done around the house. She was a HUGE help! Here are some pics from last week.


Playing baseball in the backyard.


Does she not look EXACTLY like her daddy??


Winding down before bed.


"How many fingers am I holding up?"

Dylan wanted to share his baby toys with Hunny.

Moved in...to our new house!!! :)

Yaaaaayy! We finally got moved in to our new house in College Station. We're still not 100% settled, but we're not far away. We still have a few more boxes to sort through, and then we can have our BIG garage sale. That should be lots of fun! We bought new couch and oversized chair, and we're loving them! Of course, after living without furniture for 2 or 3 weeks, it makes you appreciate any couch. :) We also went without internet (which explains some of the reason we have not posted in a while) and TV for a few weeks. We now have them both and can definitely appreciate them more, now!

La is adjusting to being a stay-at-home mom really well! She's been cooking and cleaning like a champ while keeping the kids happy. And sorting through boxes all at the same time. I'm not sure how she does it all, but I certainly do appreciate her!!

Hensley has been a really good baby. She normally only cries when she is hungry. We're fortunate that she sleeps really good. We (Laura) normally only has to get up once a night with her. Have I mentioned that Laura does a great job with the kids!!!

Dylan has adjusted well, too. He has a new "big boy" bed. And he has learned to open doors. He now greets us in the early mornings (sometimes too early) with a "Hi Momma", "Hi Daddy". Then he climbs up in the bed and gives us each a hug. It's awesome!

Here's another good story...A few days ago, Laura was trying to put Dylan down for a nap during the day. Of course, he did not want to go to sleep. So, he would get out of his bed, open his door, and come into the living room. After doing this a couple of times, Laura put him in the baby crib thinking he would not be able get out of it. Needless to say, he surprised us. The funny part is he climbed out of the crib, open and closed doors, went straight to his bed, and took a nap.

Other things D-mo likes to do at our new house...
1. He likes running into the fence in our back yard.
2. He likes to go for walks (runs). He likes to say "run", and we both take off running. When he gets tired he says "walk". He waits a couple of seconds and says "run" again.
3. He likes squeezing between our new blinds and the window to look outside.
4. He likes watching the movie, "A Bug's Life". La and I have memorized most of the lines.
5. While watching "A Bug's Life", he likes running around in circles all crazy like the ants when the grasshoppers show up.
6. He still likes chasing Daisy (our dog) around the house. I think it makes him feel powerful.
7. He likes eating biscuits, popsickles and eating thru wrappers to get to candy.
8. He likes falling off of the arm of our couch onto pillows.
9. He likes using dad's tools.
10. He likes walking in dad's boots.
11. He likes ketchup.
12. He likes yogurt.
