Mom...We Can Do It!

Yes, Brooks and Burkley wanted to feed themselves yogurt tonight and I let them.

And yes, they made a mess.

But they were soooo proud and happy.

And I was one tired mommy after cleaning them both up!

Just a little messy!

Wordless Wednesday...Beach Babies

Beach Weekend Part 1...B&B's 1st Cruise!

Since it was Cory's weekend off and the weather was going to cooperate, we decided to pack up and head down to the beach early Friday afternoon.

This was B&B's first experience at the beach and this was my first time back since before Ike.

And the last summer I was down there, I was newly pregnant, experiencing morning sickness, and napping pretty much on and off throughout the day, so it wasn't much fun.

There's just something about the sun, heat, and pregnancy that does not mix well!

I was a bit stressed about packing (mainly because Cory decided to leave Friday after lunch instead of Saturday after their morning nap and I was planning on packing Friday), but I was able to get everything done without having a nervous breakdown!

I took a ton of pictures, so I'm going to break up our weekend in pictures into several posts.

Here's a few pictures from B&B's 1st cruise (aka their 1st Ferry ride to Boliver/Crystal Beach)!

First in line for the next ferry!

Luckily we didn't have to wait long and luckily B&B were entertained with playing on our laps, watching the ships pass by, and looking at the birds!

Burkley spotting the HUGE ship coming in too!

Once we loaded, we decided to get out so B&B could really "experience" their 1st cruise! They LOVED it and yes, we looked like tourist taking pictures on the dang ferry (I always laugh when I see people doing this)!

Mommy and her twinkie!

Stay tuned for more beach weekend pictures!!

Geez...

I know I say this every single month, but I can't believe my precious little miracles are already 16 months old. This has been the BEST 16 months of my life! It's not always easy and at times it can be challenging, but I wouldn't have or want it any other way. These two are truly a gift from God and I count my blessings each and every single day.

B&B are so much fun at this age. They learn new things/tricks each day and they keep us all on our toes. Here's a few things that they are up to at 16 months.

Brooks

* 6 teeth (4 top and 2 bottom...and what looks like a bunch more coming in)

* wearing a size 4 and 5 diaper

* wearing size 12-18 month clothes

* has a ton of new facial expressions

* LOVES to be outside

* in love with horses

* is my little fruit eater

* has his own little language (tu-ka, tu-ka, tu-ka)

* recently got his first summer buzz cut

* is the most PRECIOUS baby boy ever!

Burkley

* 8 teeth (4 on top and 4 on the bottom...and currently cutting all her molars)

* wearing a size 2 diaper

* wearing size 3 month pants and 9-12 month tops

* her facial expressions and eyes do the talking for her...the girl knows how to talk with her eyes!

* LOVES being outside

* LOVES anything sweet (just like her mommy)

* talks alllllllllll the time

* can now wear her hair in pig tails

* is the most PRECIOUS baby girl ever!

And what's a post without a picture, right?!?!

Mommy and B&B on their 16 month birthday!!!

Bluebonnet Babies

Brooks and Burkley posing in the bluebonnets

at Pop and Peggy's today!

Don't you just LOVE Brooks' face?

I can PROMISE you that he was NOT mad or upset!

That's just one of the many "new" faces this sweet little boy has.

He's been cracking me up lately.

And doesn't he look like a big boy with his new summer cut?

Burkley probably trying to pick a bonnet!

She didn't, but if she did, Pop and Peggy wouldn't care!

And I'm not sure what sister has her nose turned up at!

My sweet little bluebonnet babies!

Cute Little Cowboy and Cowgirl

Someone got a summer cut on Friday!

And someones Mommy decided it was time to try out pigtails too!

The most precious cowboy and cowgirl you've even see!

Happy Sunday!

We're off to take pictures in the bluebonnet this afternoon at Pop and Peggy's house...

Isn't it precious?!?!

Horse LOVER

This boy is in LOVE with horses!

As soon as we walk outside, he starts clicking is sweet little tongue and calling the horses!

It's the sweetest thing ever, but it's not so sweet when it's time to go inside!

Here's my little horse lover calling the horse on Easter Sunday.

Trying to pick a flower for his mommy!

Still in the process of uploading Easter pics...blogger is running super slow and not letting me upload several at a time and I'm not in the mood to do one at a time! But, they are coming soon...I promise!
