Brazos

Today we went to Brazos Bend State Park. Even the four six foot alligators laying on the side of the bank didn't put me into labor, nor the one mile hike. Ethan had a good time and it was a beautiful day. Happy earth day!

Happy Easter!

Ethan's class at school had an Easter egg hunt on Thursday.  It was wet outside so they did in the sanctuary.  He was a little unsure at first, but soon became a pro.  You can't see it in this picture, but he is carrying at least four eggs.   By the end of the weekend he got so good at getting all the eggs, Chris and I are glad that he is going to have to share his egg hunt next year with baby sister.  

On Saturday evening we went to Grandma and Grandpa L.'s house.  Here is Aunt Drew helping him REEEACCHH for the egg, god forbid he actually step in  the mulch--I don't know what was stopping him, he usually doesn't care.  We had a great time hunting for eggs. 

This picture says it all--WHAT JELLY BEANS?  WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONLY ONE?

The Easter bunny brought a lot of cool stuff.  In this picture he has spotted the Dinosaur Train characters that "talk" to each other.  I am just really glad that they have off buttons. :)

This is Maggie's version, of WHAT JELLY BEANS?

A lawn mower that blows bubbles to go along with the leaf blower that blows bubbles. He is really ready to help Daddy now.

Sunday afternoon we went to Grandma and Grandpa M.'s house. Aunt 'Ra ra" and Uncle Tim bought Ethan four boxes of confetti eggs. He had a blast smashing them on everyone--including Baby sister. So much fun!  We had a wonderful Easter! 

Zoo with Logan

Last weekend we went to the zoo with our friends the Todds.  It was their son Logan's first trip to the zoo.  The boys both had a great time.  Ethan enjoyed the elephants (of course) and Logan really enjoyed the birds.  It was warm, but the boys did great--me at 8 months preggers, not so much.  Ethan even enjoyed the petting zoo, as you can see from above!  Thanks, Logan for going with us!
