Happy Birthday to You!

Happy Birthday Blake!






Yesterday was Blake's third birthday.  He had a busy day.  He had his "Spring Sing" at school and class pictures.  Last night we took Blake to Chuck E. Cheese's.  Our friends Steve, Christy, Emily Grace and Caleb met us there.  We had a great time playing games and eating pizza.  We came home for cake and our friends Heath, Kathy, Alison and Erin joined us.  Once again, I have to brag that I have the BEST babysitter.  Mallory made Blake's cake!  It was beautiful and yummy.   Blake's birthday will be a week long affair with cupcakes at school on Wednesday and the family coming this weekend for a party.  Good thing he LOVES cake.

Jesus Loves Me & ABC's

Silly Blair



She can't walk but she can stand on her head and yes that is a cell phone in her hand.  It's an old one and she loves it!  

Swim Lessons



Blake had swim lessons today at the Y.  He did pretty good.  I think he was more interested in splashing than swimming though.  He isn't scared of the water and was really excited to be there.  

So Big


When you say Blair is SO BIG, she does this!  We are doing better with the eating and texture issues.  She loves blueberry muffins, Cheerios and  most all breads.  She tried ham and cheese yesterday.  We are making progress.  

Choo Choo Soul


At 6:30 this morning, (yes that's right, 6:30) Blake decides that he wants to put on his black dress shoes and run around the house.  Well, at that moment the WHOLE house was up!  We were in the process of getting dressed for the day when "Choo Choo Soul" came on the Disney Channel. Well, Blake really likes it and he decided to dance!  I am quite sure he will hate me for this picture one day!  I did manage to talk him out of the dress shoes and into tennis shoes for our day.

Wrestling with Daddy



Blake plays rough and Blair joins right in.

Thunder


Blake loves to ride "Dunder" at Mamaw and Papaw's.

Serious Blair

Water War with Papaw



Scott went to the Masters and I took B&B to visit the family.  Blake wanted to take a bath in the BIG bathtub.  My dad instructed him in the fine art of squirt toys.  He is now an expert!

Happy Easter






What a COLD Easter morning!  Blair looked adorable.  Blake wouldn't pose for a picture, but he looked handsome.  We went to early service and the Easter Bunny came while we were at church.  

"Don't touch it. Lemme do it."

Coloring Easter Eggs





Saturday we colored Easter Eggs. 

Easter Egg Hunt




Last weekend our church had an Easter Egg Hunt.  Blake has really enjoyed Easter this year.  He loves the idea of finding eggs that have "treats" in them.  So much so, in fact, that when "hunting" eggs he stops to look in each one to see what he has found.  No prize for the most eggs this year!

Blake Singing

I couldn't really get Blake to cooperate, but I thought some of you might want to just here him talk.  I'll try to get a better video later.  

A Real Snow Day



It snowed Friday night and we finally got enough to justify buying a snowsuit!  (4 or 5 inches)  I think a lot of it was gone by Saturday afternoon and it was all gone by Sunday.  Winter's last gasp, which is fine by me.  Blake wasn't as thrilled with the snow as we were.  He was warm all except for his hands.  He had gloves but none that were waterproof and his hands quickly got cold and wet.  It didn't take long for him to come inside for hot chocolate. 

Blair "Talking"

A Pretty Day



Sunday was a beautiful day!  We played outside.  Blair got to swing for the first time and she loved it.  On Monday, I took her to the doctor.  She weighs 16.7 pounds which means she still has to sit facing backwards in the car.  (sigh)  I am going to go ahead and switch the seats though.  I've had enough of the baby carrier.  The doctor said she was a perfectly happy, healthy one year old.  We no longer have to adjust for her prematurity because she has "caught up".  He is predicting that she will give her big brother a run for his money.  I have no doubts about that.  

Ollie and Blake



Mallory brought her puppy Ollie over for a visit.  Blake LOVED him and Ollie loved Blake too.
