Easter

Last weekend we went to Grandma & Grandpa P's house in Louisiana for Easter. The Easter Bunny was extra nice to 2 little boys I know and love ;) Colin had a blast color eggs and doing his Easter egg hunt, and even helped Mommy with her & Daddy's egg hunt (the Easter Bunny likes to include us every year too). Of course me & Colin could've done much better had Daddy not hidden Mommy's eggs under mulch while he was looking for his own *ahem*.

Here's Colin coloring eggs:

Jackson only got to watch with Daddy - maybe next year we'll let him give it a try
The funniest thing during egg coloring was Colin's impatience. He did not want to wait for the eggs to get colored, so to buy time and let the eggs sit in the cups, we told Colin to run to a tree in the backyard, run around it twice and come back and check the eggs. He went without hesitation LOL

Here he is on his egg hunt:

And showing off his eggs:

And with his Easter basket (and cheesy smile): Jackson with some of his Easter goodies - he wasn't too interested in me taking pics of him:

And because this post was heavy with Colin pics - I'll leave you with one more of Jackson. Now based on the size of him, you can tell he likes food. So say, for example, you left a bean & cheese taco within arms reach of his booster seat. Yeah, you can pretty much bet it'll be gone if you turn your head for one second. Busted!

Thanks for looking!

We've had some crazy weather

Last Thursday, the Dallas area got hit with a snowstorm. Considering we moved here from Michigan, we thought we were escaping that kind of weather. And I probably would've let it slide if it were December or January, but snow in March... in Texas?!?!? They had predicted between 4-6", then lowered it to 2-3", but in the end we hardly got any. Colin was fascinated watching it fall out the window, so I decided to take the boys outside to play in it. It was Jackson's first snowfall! Colin had a blast throwing snowballs and Jackson just hung out and watched.

The weather warmed up and the snow melted by noon the following day - that's probably the biggest difference between a snowfall in Michigan and a snowfall in Texas LOL By yesterday it was sunny and 75 degrees, so we went out to the park. Colin loves playing there and Jackson just enjoys hanging out in his stroller.

Both boys loved the swings:

Here's a video of just how much Jackson loved the swings. You can't help but laugh right along with him!

Hope you enjoyed :)

Sick

I think we're finally getting over the flu that hit our house last weekend. Jackson started getting sick on Saturday, then by Sunday night/ Monday, both Scott & I got hit. Colin miraculously has avoided it. Scott was back to himself yesterday, and I'm finally feeling normal today. Jackson is drinking his bottles and eating like normal so far today, so I think he's on the mend too.

I'm guessing Colin got lucky because he got his flu shot. Jackson only got one of his (they do 2 shots a month apart for infants) and was due for his 2nd one yesterday, but we had to hold off since he was sick. We'll probably go in on Monday and get the 2nd one so he doesn't have to go through this again. It's been rough around here to say the least!!! I feel bad for waiting so long in getting Jackson his flu shot, but with the move to Texas, I didn't want to get one shot in Michigan and then have issues getting the 2nd one down here, and then we got here and it took awhile to find a decent Dr and get in for an appt. But anyways.... hopefully we'll get back to normal around here and I'll put some new pics up soon :)

On a side note, Jackson got weighed when I took him to the Dr's on Tuesday and he was 24lbs 2oz (with clothes & diaper on), which is the exact same weight as during his 9 month appt last month. W/o clothes & diaper, I'm sure he would've weighed a little less. That's one good thing in having a chubby baby - he's got some chub to spare when he gets sick ;)
