Easter 2016

I hope everyone had a great Easter! I had a three day weekend which kicked off Friday with just me and Beckett hanging out at home, enjoying some sweet time together while Joey was working. This Easter was different than what I can remember from past years and Joey and I spent a lot of time talking about how/why things have changed over the last few years. Usually our holiday weekends are packed and we're splitting time with different sides of the family but this weekend we only had one dinner and no real plans to speak of. It was nice. Different but so nice.

I'll probably just do a big photo dump instead of going into detail because there really isn't much to detail about our weekend. But first, we had to color eggs during the week leading up to Easter. That was fun. And totally nerve wrecking. But nonetheless, it was a memory made and a tradition that I'm going to need to remind myself in the coming years is worth keeping up with the little ones. Doing things that involve breakables and dyes is not an ideal activity with a toddler but he enjoyed it so much. Really, all he wanted to do was put all the eggs in the yellow dye (even ones that were already colored) and stir the water/dye around in the bowls.

Friday Beckett and I had breakfast in bed and then he decided to dump the bin of all the little random toys in my room.

Saturday we Joey did some yard work and we got some flowers to bring some color out front until the good flowers start being put out ($3 baskets of pansies and $5 roses just can't be passed up!). Once I can get my hands on some pretty pink flowers for my hanging baskets and planters, those purple pansies will be sent to the back of the house to hang off the pergola. #pinkbloomsforlife

Easter morning started out with B checking out his basket, lunch downtown, then some family picture time before dinner and an egg hunt. Beckett was CRAZYTOWN when he woke up from his nap. Like, my stepdad's parents have a huge yard and you would have thought that Beckett had never been outside before. He was just loving running all over the place and jabbering randomness. We sure get our fair share of laughs from that boy!

He had fun finding eggs until he realized there was so much more he could be doing. He found 6 and was off on his next adventure.

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night.

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
