March Recap

*Dan made Connor a huge robot (gun arms were added later as you can see on the video).

*Eli being silly and only wanting to sit in Connor's chair now.

*Clouds from a storm that passed through.

*A pic of Dan and I from a night on the town. We went to an awesome piano bar!!

The kids and I went to my parents' in San Antonio for spring break and had a great time.

*Eliana finally started crawling onto things by herself.

*The kids love playing together. Connor put Eli in the laundry basket and then decided to get in with her.

Time flies when you're having fun!! Eliana is saying hi, bye, no, mamma, mine and what's that. Connor is learning to count to one hundred and can write his name really well. I'm so proud of them both!!

Whistle Stop Park

The kids and I visited my bestfriend, Katie, and her two kiddos, Liam (2.5yrs) and Olivia (2 mos) whom live 2 hrs. south of us. We went to a park that is next to an old train depot where there is an old locomotive that people can climb up in to pull the bell, see the old controls, etc. The kids had a blast doing that, having a picnic lunch (even though the wind kept blowing everything around), and playing at the playground. It's called Whistle Stop, b/c trains still go by daily. (If the slideshow doesn't open, you can click 'view all images' and it'll show it to you on photobucket).

Connor's first t-ball game pics

Covering first base

Connor was so focused on covering first base, but he didn't know he was supposed to catch the ball that was thrown to him to try to tag the person out. It was so cute!!

Tball game

Today was Connor's first official t-ball game. He seems to really enjoy it. He connected with the ball twice and ran as fast as his little legs would carry him. I think I may have been screaming a little too loud at him to run though!! At the end of the game, he asked me if he did awesome. :)

8 year anniversary

Dan and I celebrated our 8 yr. wedding anniversary on Saturday. We had an overnight sitter-woohoo, so we went out to dinner and to a comedy show in Fort Worth. We went to a steak restaurant that was highly recommended and loved it! We had calamari, filet mingon, and the best butterscotch cheesecake I have ever tasted in my whole life!! The improv comedy show was hilarious too!! The only bad part was our car was covered in bird poo since we had parked under a tree.

Here's a pic of us from that night:

They are getting so big already...

I can't believe that my babies are already 5 and 1. They are growing up so fast. Sometimes I just want to freeze time and other days I love watching them turn into curious little people. Connor is spelling out every word he sees and saying sight words. I remember when he could barely say 5 words and now he's starting to learn to read. He has such a sweet spirit and a great sense of humor. Some kids don't know how to joke, but I guess his dad has taught him well. He still has a hard time taking jokes though sometimes. I couldn't have asked for a better big brother for Eli. He just loves her so much and is a great helper. Connor is asking questions about everything possible these days and I am patiently waiting for him to grow out of the potty talk stage!!

Eliana went from standing on her own to full-on walking in a matter of weeks. She can now get from the front of the house to my bedroom (mainly my makeup drawer) in a matter of seconds. She says/shouts "ehh" when she wants your attention and points to things and says 'what's that?' She is getting quite the personality and has become fond of throwing tantrums when you take something away from her or she has to come inside from playing on the trampoline or swingset. She is such a sweetheart though 99% of the time. Her hair is even starting to grow in. She's tried eating both sand and potting soil in the last month and decided that she didn't like how either of those tasted!!

I am looking forward to seeing how they change over this next year.....
