Grass....Finally

Today we lost a tree in our front yard and gained grass! We hated to lose the tree but it was genetically challenged and had to go. We are so excited to finally have grass in our front yard instead of a giant mud pit. William was fascinated with the whole process. He loved watching the guys cut down the tree and grind the stump. I have never seen him sit so still!

Here are a few pictures of the whole process. I will try to add and after shot so you can see how everything turned out.

A Mess of a Day

The day started out with William putting on my mascara while I was getting dressed. Apparently it was not pushed back on the bathroom counter far enough and he snatched it and ran. When I finally caught up to him...this is what I found!!

Later in the day my sweet son decided he did not need to take a nap. He also decided (while not napping) that he did not like the lamp in his room so he broke it! I hear him crying...the kind that makes you drop what you are doing and run kind of cry....and open the door to his room to find him sitting in his crib holding part of a broken light blub in his hand. Luckily he was not cut up...not sure how that happened but I am very thankful!! No trip to the ER...yet. There were pieces of glass everywhere! And they were all VERY tiny. I strip William down to his diaper and then remove everything on the bed. Then I vacuumed the room...no less than ten times to make sure I got every little piece of glass. Once everything is back in order I check out the lamp. The place where the light bulb was supposed to fit is completely broken! How my son managed to do this and electrocute himself is a miracle! William is no longer allowed to have lamps in his room!

Suzanna and Jay's Wedding

This past weekend Will and I traveled to Boerne, Texas for Suzanna and Jay's wedding. We had such a great time! The wedding was beautiful and everyone had so much fun! Suzanna looked gorgeous.

The ceremony was outside by the lake and the weather could not have been better...clear blue skies. We were all a little worried because it had rained on Friday and Saturday morning...but God smiled on Suzanna and Jay and the sun came out!

After the ceremony we spent the evening dining and dancing outside under the stars. It was a great wedding!

Congratulations! We love you both very much!

William's 2nd Year Pictures

My sweet and talented cousin Suzanna (her website and blog are listed to the right) took William's 2nd year pictures at the beginning of March. They turned out great! Suzanna did a great job capturing our little man despite the fact he never stopped moving!

Thank you Suzanna! We love you!

High Point with Pop and Gigi

We spent the weekend at High Point with Pop and Gigi (William's great-grandparents) and had a great time! Here is a pic of them with the boys.

A Day at High Point

We dropped Will off at the airport (he was headed to Houston for a funeral) and William and I went to High Point for the day to visit GB and SuSu. Poor William had been holed up in the house the past week because of bad weather and sickness and he just needed to get out and run around.

Firetruck Park

William loves to be outside...no matter the temperature! One morning we didn't have much going on so we went to the Firetruck park (as William calls it) to play. Since we moved I have hardly taken any pics of the little man, so I decided to take my camera.

We had so much fun just hanging out together. We played with a ladybug (which we looked for the next time we were at the park...try explaining to a 2 year old that the ladybug is no longer on the same blade of grass!), kicked the soccer ball and ran around.

I love it when I get a day to just play with William...just the two of us! Too many times we are running to activities or playgroups and we don't get enough time with just the two of us. My goal until he starts school in September is to spend more time with just us....playing and having fun!!
