We miss Daddy!
This is what I see when I walk into the boys room whenever they're waking up. Sometimes there's a smile...sometimes tears
This is how I find Owen. Usually there's an arm hanging out as he drapes himself on his bumper waiting for assistance
Brody was READY to get out!
After we ate dinner, we search the ottoman for treasures
While the boys were napping, a little spring shower dumped some more hail on us
The pool was white-capping (the picture didn't do it justice)
Look at all that hail and the blue sky (gotta love west Texas weather!)
We got enough for it to start piling up
Look at the tee box right behind our fence- covered in iceLet me start this with saying, I am not complaining about Brody's new treatment, I'm just telling it like it is because I thought it was funny.
So, Brody and I got to see Dr. Nabulsi this morning and luck out and get to see Jennifer instead. Brody has been under the weather this weekend, but not too bad. I chalked the temp up to teething and the diaper rash solidified that diagnosis. The throwing up...totally Owen's fault. Owen had Brody howling last night at dinner and he barfed. I thought he just choked and we moved on. So, this morning we were all laying on their huge comfy caterpillar having a bottle (yes, we still love the bottle) and Brody sucked his down (strange) and then just laid there (very strange). Oh well, he obviously just loves his momma. So Todd grabs B and I grab O-Man and we head downstairs for breakfast. Brody takes a seat and...BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRFFFFFFF! OH MY! Todd and I were amazed at the amount and force behind it! GROSS! Well, maybe I should call the doctor. On my way over to the doc, I'm wandering is this the visit nothing's wrong and I'm being a crazy mom. In the waiting room, I wonder should I snatch Brody up and run for the door so they don't find out I'm crazy.
We see Jennifer. Ear infection, very low blood sugar, and we have been awarded a nebulizer for breathing treatments. Thank goodness...I'm not crazy. Oh yea, and Brody will be fine. He got a shot for the ear and nausea and cream for the diaper rash.
We go home with a detour to Chik-fil-A. I figure being sick is kinda like the day after you have a few too many, so Brody deserved some chicken and fries. The nebulizer arrives and the breathing treatment begins....
Giving a one year old a breathing treatment can be tough...
Throw in ANOTHER one year old
At least Brody thought Owen was funny
The joys of twins. The delivery guy brought an extra hose in case of emergency. I was thinking the dog might chew it, or my children
Doesn't Mom look pretty after her great day
Very excited about our Easter baskets.
Get after it, Brody!
Owen thought this was by far the best thing we did today
Examining all our goodies from the grandparents and the Easter Bunny.
Every good brunch has Mimosas!
How did you get that hair???
Brody, you too?
My little SUMO wrestlers!
Who would challenge such a macho man?
Who would dare to enter a ring with this man?
Celebrating Easter early
Who's a sweet little guy?
Owen looked so handsome
Should I?
Two of Owen's favorites...Elmo airplane and the potato masher
Check out Brody's hair! A haircut might be in the near future (note the pictures above)
Do you love Owen's new "camera face"
Ready for take-off!
Loving on us when we got home
Helping owen out after a bottle
Our babysitter and official walker
the best napping buddy
Celebrating our big Birthday!We had a great dinner tonight with some friends. We were laughing and reminiscing about how peaceful dinner used to be...let me backtrack. Tonight, I had to call ahead to get our reservation and the girl was a little confused at my request. "I need a table for four and four highchairs." That's right, between the Earls and the Rogers, we had four children under the age of 18 months. We laughed at how not so long ago we could go sit on the patio and have a few glasses of wine, but now we look like a birth control ad! We had a great time and of course, wouldn't change a thing.
Many, many hours were spent in these wonderful vibrating seats
Sweet Little Owen
B-boy hadn't been home long and we were all still adjusting
One of my favorite pictures. Can you believe how teeny and sweet they were?I survived!!!!!! Buckshot Bash is OVER! For those of you who didn't know, we had our big Junior League charity event this weekend. I was in charge of the silent and live auctions at the Buckshot Bash on Friday and then I had the pleasure of helping with the clay shoot on Saturday. I had no problem doing my part, except...I picked Christin up at 6:30 (AM!) after we had just finished cleaning up the Buckshot Bash party at 12:30, so we were lovely and chipper with our 5 hours of sleep. This isn't even the tough part. Our committee powered through the lack of sleep, but the wind beat the life out of us out at Windwalker! I can say, I have never experienced anything like that wind! I came home a little bit darker thanks to the red dirt, and had dirt in places dirt should never be.
Here's a few pics to show how my family even had to suffer through my stressful week last week...
Dad was so wonderful! He did anything to entertain his boys!
Owen was very concerned about Mom's whereabouts
I think Brody forgot who I was...he looks a little confused
Check out the bump on the right side of Owen's head. He dove over the nose of his Elmo airplane onto the brick floors. Of course he missed the rug by only inches.
Check out Brody's bump on the left side. Not sure what happened...
