Bubby's Birthday

This cute little guy is 1 year old! 

And he is our "little" guy. He is still in the 17lb range and is wearing 6-9m sized clothes (although I think he might be finally outgrowing the 6 month size!)

Here we are at the park playing with Dad! He went down to Mexico for a whole month back in March and it was a glorious reunion to have him home!

This is our spontaneous drive to IKEA the day after Dad got back. Great timing cause we got to see some beautiful wild flowers and bluebonnets on the way!

These girls love inspecting bugs. They found a ladybug and Bean Bean rushed in to get her ladybug outfit on.

Birthday time for Bubby! Skyping with Grama R.

Opening his own set of keys (cause he always wants Mom's).

And crawling in his new tunnel. 

And he got to eat cake for the first time ever. And it was my first homemade cake ever. 

He ate it up! He would pick a little off at a time and put it right in his mouth.  

He was not as big a fan of the ice-cream as I thought he'd be. Everyone else in our family would rather eat ice-cream over cake and originally I had just planned on doing ice-cream. But Dad suggested doing the cake too, and I'm sure glad I did since it was Bubby's favorite part!

March and Our Garden

Happy March! 

Getting St. Patrick's Day and Easter decorations out!

Things we like to do this month...

...Play in Aunt M's bed. 

They were in a cave, hiding from the crocodile storm.

 

...Garden! We planted our seeds and Handsome made a netting cover to protect our plants from birds and squirrels (and from cats who might get the wrong idea about what our garden box is.)

...Try on our swimsuits! Big Sis was SO excited and wore it pretty much the rest of the day. Can you tell she LOVES water and summer time? And it was Big Sis' idea to get Little Sis in her swimsuit too. Same-same!

...Hanging out with Dad on a Saturday morning. We love the weekends around here. Especially Saturdays with our Dad.

...Getting into EVERYTHING that is at her level. Little Sis loves pulling stuff off of the bottom shelves and inspecting the cart and toy stroller wheels. 

...Helping Aunt M in the kitchen. I LOVE Big Sis's new summer wardrobe (Thanks Aunt C and Cousin C!) I seriously wish I fit into the clothes from Children's Place.

...Trying our hand at cooking. 

Two little chefs making veggie soup.

...Playing outside. Boy we are excited for this lovely weather, now we just need to get rid of some colds so we can truly enjoy it.

...Gardening! I know I already mentioned it but it's part of our family now! Big Sis and Handsome take turns with the watering can.

We've got spinach,

marigolds,

Florida 91 tomatoes (bought these as starters),

zucchini,

and green beans.

Big Sis' zinnias. They are going to be pink and she picked them out on her own at the store.

Our most recent backyard visitor that Handsome caught and disposed of. We don't really like snakes hanging out in our backyard. Sorry if anyone out there loves them. Anyone know what to look for to identify if a snake is poisonous or not?
