Texas trip!

Fabulous trip to Tejas, as usual!

So happy to see his Daddy on Friday! As soon as Marc got in the car, he just started laughing. He was about to fall asleep when I was sitting next to him before we got there! What gives?!

Stop and smell the flowers, dontcha think? Thanks to Noah for letting us borrow his Exersaucer.

Kisses from Grandpa! He LOVES being outside.

4 Generations! We met up halfway between Lewisville and Waco at this cute little gas station. Only in Texas can you get a Sonic, BBQ, hundreds of variety of beef jerky, wine, and tons of Texas souveniers all in one place. We had a good visit with the Cracker.

The guys played in a charity golf tournament for Joey's high school on Saturday. They really lucked out with the weather. It started pouring down rain right when they were done. They finished in 2nd place and got some pretty fancy trophies actually. Marc won a $250 certificate to Cutter & Buck. Some serious polo shirt action for Marc and maybe some sweet pleated khaki shorts for me (yeah right!). Joey, Paul, and Dad each won a round of golf. Ash was there as our photo journalist to chronicle the day's events :)

Don't they look intimidating? The Reservoir Dogs of golf.

"Fore! I shoulda yelled two!"And Paul's favorite, "How about a fresca?"

Baseball cap twins!

2nd place winners

I was able to make Jessica's baby shower while I was in town. She is having a baby girl named Hayden Grace and she got a ton of adorable stuff! She looks absolutely glowing!

Henry behaved pretty well. I think he felt a little out of place considering he was the only dude there. He doesn't like all that girly stuff.

Don't mind Henry trying to eat my scarf.

Henry is now 6 months old! Still sitting in the 95th percentile for weight at 20lbs and 75th for height and 95th for head size. Gotta give it to him, the boy is consistent.

- He's eating solid foods twice a day now. His faves so far are peas and sweet potatoes. Hates prunes, despite the fact that he really needs those (you know what I'm talking about).

- He can sit with assistance now and by himself for a couple minutes before he gets tired.

- Favorite games are patty-cake, big ride/airplane, peek-a-boo, and when I make a sound "Doy, doy, doy!". Don't ask me how I found out he liked that sound, but he smiles everytime.

- Favorite song is Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. Yes, he already has a favorite song. He's my child, after all :)

- Loves being outside, going for walks, and touching all the flowers outside.

- Anytime Marc and I eat, he makes this certain sound, which means, "I want some of that". Anytime I drink out of a cup, he wants to try drinking out of a cup too. It's just getting so fun because he is so curious about everything.

- He's sleeping from 8:30 to 6:30 every morning. He wakes up, drinks his bottle, and usually goes back to sleep for another 30 minutes to an hour. So awesome.

Love,

Lyndsey, Marc, Henry, & Betsy

Springtime shenanigans!

Spring has officially begun! More sunlight, flowers in bloom, grilling out on the patio, margaritas, getting my blonde highlights back, Betsy really tired after only a 5min walk.....many of the reasons I love this time of year.

Henry couldn't wait to see the Easter bunny this year!


The more I look at this Easter bunny pic with Henry, the more that bunny freaks me out. I went with a group of mom friends & babies to see the bunny and get pics taken. It was seriously 95 degrees out that day and Henry had about 2 things that he could wear that weren't long sleeves. I decided on a sporty little romper not really realizing that he would be woefully underdressed as all the other little children had on their Janie & Jack finery. We're talking little baby blue blazers and sweater vests and such. Um yeah, I like my baby to sport his guns (fat rolls) in sleeveless tees and go barefoot. That's just my style.

He matched the green background in his romper and smiled like a champ, so it all worked out. This really doesn't matter at all, but for a moment I felt like I didn't get the memo. I'm sure more of those mommy moments are sure to come.
Oh, why didn't I plant tulip bulbs in the fall? Maybe my yard would look like this.

Now, here's my dressed up little boy! I think he looks like the little boy caddy in "The Greatest Game Ever Played". Or a little british newspaper boy. "Why, 'ello govna!"- this is what I think a british newspaper boy would say if I ran into one.

Since babies cannot eat Reeses chocolate peanut butter eggs or Starburst jellybeans, the Easter bunny filled Henry's up with some bubbles, his first sand shovel and bucket for the beach, a bathtub book, various toys, and one of those baby floaties for the pool.
He's all set for summertime!

Playing with all his loot.

He loves getting presents, I can already tell.

Henry and I leave Wednesday for a little springtime fun in Texas. Can't wait to see the bluebonnets! It's probably been five years since I've been home at this time of year. And I know Grandpa Joe and Gee-ma are craving some baby squeezes!

Love,

Lyndsey, Marc, Henry, & Betsy
