Bluebonnets!

After my big girls weekend, I came home to beautiful spring weather.  What's the best thing to do during the spring?  Take pictures in the bluebonnets!  

My handsome boy!

The sweet siblings.  So precious that he wants to hold her hand.

My beautiful, sweet Everly!

Okay, this next picture might nominate us as parents of the year:

Yes, that's Walker pushing his sister down and not getting in trouble.  We couldn't help laugh, because they were having so much fun!  Look at them!

No, he didn't get in trouble... in fact, he thought it was so hilarious, he did it again!

And, obviously, she didn't mind!

Goodness, I really wish I hadn't cut his head off.... they were hysterical!

I just love their sweet, sweet faces!

Not exactly a framer, but proof that daddy was there!

I just love this picture!  I think Clark became a professional photographer for a minute.  So sweet.

This girl has her daddy wrapped around her finger!  They are so precious.

A great afternoon in the bluebonnets.  It was especially fun for mommy after being away for the weekend!

Her New Favorite Food

Everly has discovered sour cream.

She's a big fan.  In fact, all she needs is a finger or spoon.  It's hilarious.

Yes, she's a mess in this picture, but I had to include it.  Her brother was the photographer!  They are so much fun.

Sit In My Lap

I'm not making this up.  Walker says to Everly.... "Everly, sit in my lap!"

Here are the pictures:

Have I mentioned that I love that they LOVE each other?

Loving the Sunshine!

Who has noticed the beautiful, sun-filled days?  We have!!  Spring is the best.  We've spent tons of time outside in the sunshine.  We even went to check out Lake Conroe.  The kids loved looking at the water, fish and ducks.  It's exciting that there is actually water in the lake!

Cheese!

So sweet.

I think he was pointing at an airplane.  It might have been a boat or a duck.

Sweet babes.

Just Because...

... they are so cute and love each other so much!

Almost Paradise

Last week was very historic.  Clark and I left both of our babes for FOUR nights.  I've never been away from them for more than one night.  But, when you have a chance to go to the Bahamas, you take it.  And, I did.  Although, the kids tried their best to come with us!

I'm pretty sure they didn't think we would notice!

But, we did manage to break away and go off to a tropical island.

So beautiful.  Thursday was truly the most relaxing day I've had since before Walker was born.  I slept until 10.  I went to the beach and I sat there.  I had some lunch, finished a book, watched the waves, felt the breeze and sat some more.  It was lovely.  Although, it would have been more lovely if Clark hadn't been stuck in a conference room for 11 hours.

Friday was also nice.  I went to the pool and then the spa.  But, this is where the trip takes a turn.  A turn for the worse.  Bottom line.... don't eat the ice.  We went to this resort last year with no problems, but this time... the time I don't have any kids with me.... I got sick.  No fun.

But, I'll say this... if you're going to be sick, you might as well be sick with a view.  Clark and I did spend all day Saturday on the beach.

And, the best way to wash away the sand and salt....

That is truly the most amazing bathtub EVER!  I got Clark to take this picture because I want to build a tub just like this someday.  So nice.

And, here's our one good picture together... shockingly, it's right before we left, when I felt really terrible.

Anyway, that almost sums up the trip.  Almost.....

Yep, that's me... on the corporate jet.  Clark has now officially spoiled me rotten.  I've requested that we never fly commercial again!  HA!

A HUGE thank you to Bunny and RayRay for keeping the kids.  It was really nice to be able to get away and not worry about Walker and Everly.  They were having as much fun as us!

Pig Tails & Big Boy Undies

Goodness, I haven't blogged in two weeks.  Bad mommy!  Part of that is because we had some sickness in this house.  I have to say.... the kids hadn't been sick in a long time, so I guess we were due.  Walker had a high fever at the beginning of the week, then Everly had it at the end of the week.  Thankfully, both of them are feeling great again!

And, I'm not gonna lie.... the extra snuggle time was nice.  When they have fever, all they want to do is lay on me.  I'm not complaining.  It really is sweet to get some extra squeezing and kissing in.

We do have one big thing going on.... Walker's REAL attempt at potty training.  Since Everly was sick on Friday, we couldn't leave the house.  I decided to throw some big boy undies on Walker and he has done really well!!!  He does have some accidents, but he hates it when that happens, so I think it's motivation to do better.  Overall, he's done great... including a (DRY) trip out to eat.  We'll see what this week brings!

He's pretty proud!

I almost forgot.... Everly's hair is getting quite long!  And, I'm trying my best to start fixing it.  Although, I'm going to admit... it's more difficult than I imagined!  But, I'm getting better with practice.

Looks cute, huh?  Here's a little disclaimer.... Bunny did these pig tails!

And, one more pic, just because they're so sweet.
