It's FFF---Favorite Foto Friday!

It's my FIRST Favorite Foto Friday and the theme is Easter Memories. Last year we were at my mom's for Easter which coincided with the 3 month photo session of little Matthew. For some reason I don't have a photo of the actual day. Here is a picture of the oldest 2 enjoying some of the eggs they colored right before Easter. They definitely are not in their 'Sunday best' but I love the picture!

surgery

Well...we made it through our second surgery this year. He did good through the procedure and the doctor said there was LOTS of fluid behind his ears. He should hear us better but honestly, I couldn't ask for a better baby. He will be 15 months old tomorrow and is not walking. Any advice on that? We have a check up so I will be sure to voice my concerns.

sea world

So the Flu hit our family back in February. We were officially diagnosed on February 14 to be exact. I was so glad that I had already made our special dinner the previous night. We started Tami flu that night and by Saturday afternoon he finally had enough energy to go outside. I suggested lets go to Florida like we had originally planned before we were hit with the flu....only the trip won't be as long. So we were packed, the house cleaned and disinfected, and pulled out of the driveway around 5PM. We ended up at Sea World and not at Disney like originally planned before getting sick. We shopped a day too which was nice!

What are we waiting on?

You know...the whale

Oh....Okay! It's.....

BABY shamu!!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had to 'make do' with our Valentine's day celebrations this year. The FLU hit our home and luckily only Conner had it. I decided to try some new recipes from the Pioneer Woman for our Valentine's dinner. I cooked it last night (on the 13th). Go to her website to see for yourself. I am pleased with the results I had. I have also made her lasagna, sandwiches, olive bread (a hit at Bunco night), dips, casseroles, etc. I love her pictures she posts with her recipes as I love visuals when learning something new!

Pictures from the zoo and gardens

We took MeeMee and PawPaw to the zoo the other day. We had a great time and there was an orchid show going on too! Enjoy the pictures. I will post some pictures of the animals later.

this no more???

Good Evening! For some reason the question of whether or not he still sucked his thumb came up. I honestly couldn't really remember seeing him suck it lately...so I looked at him and asked him. He said he doesn't. Even though he will be 5 in June, I was sad. My baby is growing up. Yes, he's not exactly my baby anymore but I was never sure we would have a 'third' so I treated him like my baby until #3 arrived and still try to give him special attention. Why? He's the middle child.
