Easter 2013

We had another great Easter.  We started off the morning with the Easter bunny coming to visit and leaving a few toys and candy for the kids.  Off to church we went at Stonegate in Midlothian and then on to the grandparents houses.  We stopped at my grandmothers for lunch and an egg hunt with DeAnn's kids then we went on to Grumpa's house for the evening.  The kids got a lot of fun stuff from Grumpa, Grandma Jackson and Aunt Amy.  We had a great time at both places and I got to practice on my new camera.  I've got a long way to go on learning but its fun!  Jax - 4 1/2, Jake 3 3/4, Lola 9 1/2 months

Baseball with Daddy

Jeremy likes to play baseball with the boys in the evening on nice days.  The boys love throwing and hitting the ball as well.  I decided to take some pictures one evening.  Jax is so smart and you can tell he'll be great next year when he finally gets to play little league.  I can't wait.  Jake is right behind him as well.  I look forward to the many years in sports we have to come!

Bowling

We took the boys bowling over spring break. They had so much fun learning how from dad. We were only able to play for an hour but I think they got the hang of it. We went to the old bowling alley in Waxahachie and then had dinner at CiCi's. It was a fun evening. I've included some pictures.  I also included a pictures of all three kiddos at the park - someone always has to act crazy!

Lola at 9 months

Little Miss Lola has made it through another month.  She's now 9 months ~ 28 inches long, 19.3lbs in the 75th percentile.  She's now got 2 teeth.  We've had a rough month with an ear infection, bronchitis and a mess of doctor appointments that we have finally made it through.  She's still not completely crawling but she scoots everywhere and seems to be happy doing it.  She is finally sleeping in her own bedroom but still waking up once to eat.  I'm trying to stop that but I'm having a hard time myself.  I've taken plenty of pictures of her - some bunny pictures for Easter and her first ponytail and some park pictures and picture with daddy.  She's such a fun little girl...I just adore her!

Jax the Royal

My once shy child has truly come out of his shell.  Getting ready for kindergarden next year...we are trying to help him become the big boy we know is in there.  He's doing great in mother's day out...learning a lot and making some great friends.  He's maturing before our eyes. 

I've waited to take him to the dentist because he doesn't like doctors.  We finally made the trip and he did pretty good.  We watched a video the night before so he seemed pretty prepared.  We got to Dr Florence's office the next day and he told the lady at the front desk that he was so excited to see the dentist.  I was shocked.  He was very happy.  Dr Florence came out and met Jax and was super nice.  Jax gave him a fist bump and we headed back.  He let the hygienist take xrays and then it was time to lay back in the chair....problem.  That's when he got a little scared.  So he sat up and did the exam.  Everything else went great and his teeth are in great shape!  Not so bad for the first time

 I've also included some pictures from the "Royal ball" at school. They try to instill manners through a royal ball at valentines. They all dress up and have a date that they escort. Jax did great through the whole thing....till he got on stage. His date bowed and he...danced and shot his spider webs. Everyone laughed but I was horrified. I couldn't believe how he came to life up there. He never ceases to amaze me. He has really enjoyed dancing to songs and singing in the car lately. It's just funny to see their little personalities come out more and more. What a fun kid!

 

Lola at 8 months

This has been a big month for Lola. She's growing so fast and just so darn cute! Lola got her first tooth this last month. We've had a handful of bad nights but got through it. A few nights after that all began, she said "mama" Its more like "mamamama" but she says it when she wants me...even at 3am. She's also attempting to crawl. We aren't quite there yet but she's trying to get up on all fours and she rocks forward a lot. I'm not really rushing it....3 mobile children...not sure about that. She's such a fun little girl. I took some pictures in honor of Jeremy beginning baseball season and I've got a few more. Enjoy.
