Trending: March

As usual it has been too long since I posted. I have been at this stay at home mom gig for nearly a year, and I am still trying to figure out how to organize myself and my day to get more done. I'm trying to find that loose structure for the day that will keep us busy and productive without feeling like a slave to a schedule. Always a work in progress...

For part of Spring Break we headed back to KS to spend some time with the cousins. Of course, we hit up the Zoo.

We also got to host Papa and Grammy for a short visit and a trip to the Nature center.

We also enjoyed some outside play and more hikes this month!

We also celebrated Easter this month, but since this post is jammed with photos already, that will have to be another post.

Baby Bear turns 1: Party Details

We enjoyed a trip back to KS to celebrate Baby Bear turning 1. Not sure how it has been a whole year since he joined us! I enjoyed planning the little car themed bash. We served burgers and enjoyed hanging out with both sides of the family!

Trending: February

February has flown by, in fact we are half way through March already. The big event for February was Marshall's first birthday. I can hardly believe that he is one already! We celebrated on his birthday as a family of four and then got together with the extended family that weekend for a car-themed party. I hope to get a post with party details up soon. 

The weather has been great again this month so we spent as much time as possible outside. We hit the park, the zoo and the backyard a lot. Marshall especially loves being outside, he often leads me by the hand to the back door, or tries to escape out to the garage.

 Grady got to wash the galaxy on one of our trips back to KS. He enjoyed helping Papa.

 Marshall enjoyed his first sweet treat- a gluten free cupcake.

Grady got to have a party at his MDO and we made some fun Wild Kratt Valentines for him to pass out to his classmates.

 For Valentine's Day we had some treats by the fire and watched a movie together. It was low key, but fun.

 We also got to hit the trails a little this month. We really enjoy hiking as a family and look forward to many hikes this spring/summer.

 The boys are pretty fun to watch together right now. For the most part they are pretty sweet to each other. They like to hug and cuddle one minute and wrestle and play chase the next minute. Grady has taken to calling Marshall, "Marshall Cruz" and it's pretty cute.

Marshall is still very much a dare-devil. Why color sitting when you can add a level of difficulty when you can stand on a dump truck?

Trending: January

Here's a little bit of what's been trending with us this month:

Of course for Grady this month was no different from the last, I don't know---6 months...all Wild Kratts and Animals, all the time.

 He even watches the Wild Kratts, with his Wild Kratts.

The two of them are pretty fun when they interact together. Marshall loves to do what his big brother is doing, much to Grady's dismay at times. Marshall also loves to give Grady hugs whenever he wakes up, it's pretty sweet

Marshall's also into helping. He likes to ride the vacuum and likes to help change the laundry. It is so fun to see him understanding language so much more and communicating with us even more. He loves to take my phone and hold it behind his ear and say, "ello" over and over again.

The weather has been really great the last few weeks, which has allowed for some really great outdoor time. Fresh air and Vitamin D are amazing!!

              

The gorgeous weather has also allowed us to spend some days at the Zoo.

 Then there was also this possible broken nose incident...

 So hard to believe that we are already wrapping up the first month of 2016, but we are looking forward to February and the celebrations that it will bring!
