Beckett Starts Gymnastics

I started taking Becks to Friday gymnastics class!

This is the same one that Presley started out in (click here to see her first time at gymnastics).

Beckett had so much fun running all over the gym.  Normally, he only gets to watch Presley do this, but this time it was his turn, and he loved it!

 

 

Sick Day

 

 As much as we love living in Austin, the one thing we all hate are allergies!  Between the mold and cedar, something is always high and causing one of us problems on a weekly basis.   On this particular week, all four of us were suffering, but Pres really got hit hard.  She had a running nose, sneezing, and just overall didn't feel well.

Her energy level was almost nonexistent (which for her is unheard of) so we opted for skipping gymnastics class and staying home.  It was also cold, dark, and rainy out, so that helped make our decision to stay home a little easier. Since her throat had been bothering her, I decided it was time for her to have her first cup of hot tea with lemon and honey.  This always makes me feel better and I thought it might do the trick for her as well.

 She was so excited to use our special Christmas Spode china and loved that the cup was just her size!

It took a lot of convincing to get her to drink it because I kept calling it 'hot tea".  She continually corrected me, saying "No, Momma, I only want warm tea".  When I sufficiently convinced her that the tea was warm and not hot, she finally agreed to take a sip.

  

  

 

She drank a little bit, but quickly got bored.

It's so funny how the act of drinking hot (or warm) tea can be so relaxing and enjoyable to an adult, but to a kid...not so much.  By later that night, she was back to normal and bouncing of the walls as usual!!!

Easter 2013

What a fun Easter we had this year!  Presley had so much fun and was really excited for the Easter Bunny to come to our house.  Becks didn't quite understand what was going on but still had a blast.

Here are a few pics from our Easter Sunday:

 Easter baskets ready to be filled and a little treat for the Easter Bunny.

 

 

 

 

I didn't even make it all the way up the stairs before Presley's door flung open and she came running out asking "What did the Easter Bunny bring me?".  We went straight downstairs to find out!

 

 Becks even had fun going through all of his goodies!

 Easter egg hunt time!

 
  

 Everyone came over for lunch and then it was time for our outdoor Easter egg hunt.

 

  

 
  
 

 Beckett and his best friend, Zac.

 

 This was baby Collyn's first Easter!

 All the cousins

 Pres was having a blast just running everywhere!

 Bubble time!

 Time to run again!

 Uh-oh!  With all that running, there was bound to be a fall at some point.

 

 A little first aid and back to running again!

 Pres and Logan had so much fun playing together.  In fact later that night, when I asked her what her favorite part about Easter was, she said "Playing with Logan". So sweet!!!

 

Beckett and Collyn got in some quality time too!

 After playing outside for a while, it was time to come in and enjoy all our Easter desserts!

After dessert, all the kids put on their new swimsuits from Mimi and went back outside to play in the sprinkler.  Needless to say, they all had a great time.  

Hope everyone had as much fun as we did!
