Wheelers: May 2011

A Day at the River!

This was our first visit to the river with the kids. We just camped out and played all morning in the water. Although it was super cold, the kiddos didn't seem to mind and we all had a great time. We've already been back once so far...I see us going all summer long, especially now that we've got rafts!

Photoshoot

The weekend of Mck's party in Tomball, my Uncle Michael was kind enough to entertain the idea of taking some family photos of us. I don't think he fully understood how hard it was going to be. I mean, it was a muggy, wet day and already, the kiddos were not about sitting pretty. They wanted to run and play and get dirty!! And who wouldn't when you're in nice clothes and you have to reel in all your energy for a sitting position? He did get some nice ones, but the "other" ones tend to get hidden. Nope, I'm laying them out there - take a look!!

Cayden got mud all over Corey, he's saying he's sorry and Mck clearly is ready to get up

Cayden, up here dude!
I like how pale I am and you can hardly tell the difference between my legs and shorts...nice

Cayden's new expression...look for it, he does it often now

No, you may not eat the bluebonnets

that's more of a cry face than smiling face Mck

Ok, more good than bad, but it was a mess of a day. Thankfully we got some good ones...it'll get better, it'll get better! :) Sweet babies!

April!

So, on the eve of June, I've finally decided I need to get caught up from the month of April. It was one of those months that was full every weekend, but fabulous nonetheless! The first weekend we were invited to a cookout with old friends from Cayden's MDO class last year. It seems that this year we all went in different directions, but yet, we're still close enough to occasionally hang out. It was such a great year that year, (2 year olds) and some of our dearest friends were made from that class year. This year in his new class, not so much. I promise there were adults here at the party, but we were too busy chatting for pictures and the kids were playing so well together. It was like a park in their back yard!

Cayden, the man of the house!

Asher and Cayden...old buddies

The following weekend was Jamie's bridal shower in Houston. It's always so fun when we're all together!

There's something special about that bottle of wine...don't know what

We've all been friends since high school and some since junior high

Next comes Easter!! It was kinda our first year to celebrate since last year both kiddos were sick and the year before Mck was just a couple weeks old. What an exciting day! The kids woke up to their Easter baskets with a small array of goodies. Mck thinks her sitting spot is always on top of the coffee table.

cheesy smile!

After church, we headed over to a friend's house for the biggest egg hung I've ever seen, some yummy food and good company.

looking at a bug together...that's special

And last comes Emily's bridal shower. It was a particularly good weekend for me b/c I got to go alone to Tomball and spend time with my family and mom. It was full of good times eating out and shopping. My favorite!!
