Cinco de Mayo and more

We had a fun weekend!!

We celebrated NINE years of marriage - I can't believe we've been married for 9 years.  It is so weird how it seems like just yesterday I was walking down the aisle and yet it feels like we've been married forever.  I am so blessed to be this man's wife!!

We planned to celebate with an evening sans kiddos thanks to my wonderful parents, but William has been so clingy lately, we thought it would be a good opportunity to have some one on one time with him.  So, Friday afternoon, the girls went to big B and William, Jim and I got to hang out.  W was an angel and had a ball running around at Cedar Creek.  We've only ever gone there with adults, but the early crowd is very family friendly!

Saturday morning,  Jim went skydiving - William thought the planes and parachutes were super cool - like father like son!!

 

We got the girls back Saturday afternoon and headed out to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with friends.  I think everyone had a great time!

Wordless Wednesday

William

This big boy is such a sweetheart.  Those eyes are just about more than I can stand!  William LOVES his mommy these days almost as much as he loves trains, cars, and Buzz Lightyear.  He can simultaneously melt my heart and test my patience to the limits.  He's been cracking us up with the things he says, too!  Here are a few of my recent favorites:

-I got mosquitos in my nose (boogers)
-I LOOOOOOVE cheese a la las (cheese enchiladas)
-I need a bander (band-aid)
-Mommy, Mommy!  Look at my balls!  Look at my balls!  See my balls? (EYEBALLS!!)

 We found him like this a couple of nights ago...

rounds

We "do rounds" every night before bed to check on the kids and make sure lights are off and doors are locked.  We crack up at what we sometimes find when we peek in on them, but tonight by far takes the cake!

We're not ready!

I went in the babies' room to get them out of bed Wednesday morning and my heart stopped momentarily because I found this...

We are SOOOOOO not ready for M&W to be in big girl/boy beds.  William evidently crawled across the dresser between their beds to visit Mags.  We did a little furniture rearranging to try to put off the big move a bit longer.  Cross your fingers that it works!!

Dad's V-day breakfast

Daddy and donuts - Maggie and William were in heaven! 

pinterest

I love pinterest.  It is a huge time suck, but I have gotten some really yummy recipes and some really good ideas from it - there are some really creative people out there!  One of the funniest things I've seen on it is this...

The first time I saw it I laughed until I cried.

I had my own "nailed it" moment over Christmas.  My mom and I thought it would be so fun to make these precious santa hat brownies.

I tried again with Kirby's valentine's, and things went a little better.
