Put me in the Zoo!

A couple weeks ago the weathermen said that the weather was going to be nice so Logan scheduled a day off. This was our first time taking the kids to the zoo together. (I have gone with friends but never with Logan!) It was fun to do something fun together as a family on a weekday. We brought our video camera and filmed all the animals. Logan made the cutest zoo movie for the boys to watch. They love it (and so do I!) 



It was cold outside when we got there so we hung out in the giftshop for awhile and played with the toys. Logan and Baylor could have done this the whole time and they would have been happy.

I love the farm section of the zoo. I just think it's so cute! Baylor of course loves the farm animals.



 I didn't take very many pictures since we brought the video camera... but Wesley did come too!



Wesley is One!



Our baby turned one on April 14th!! We had a birthday party with all of our family. He had a good time eating pizza and playing with all his new toys with his cousins. He was the cutest little birthday boy!!

Cousins MaryLeigh, Olivia and Evelyn.

Cousin Oliver

I made him his own little cake to dig into. My Mom pointed out that he got a lot messier then Baylor did. That's cause Baylor had a cupcake... I think I liked that better!
Oh well though, it was fun!

Cousin Brooklyn- the unicorn!

I'm weird, I think he looks so cute from behind,
especially in his jeans!

We got Wesley this little toy that he can walk with or sit on. He has never taken a step while standing. (He just barely started standing.) We were shocked to see him walk across the room with this toy! It's almost like he decided, 'Well I'm one I guess I better grow up!" He was smiling ear to ear with all his new toys. I'm glad he had a fun time at his party.
We love our little Wessie!!!!!!!!

Birthday Boy

Okay not quite. BUT his birthday is coming up... this Thursday! I asked Logan's sister Lindsi to do this little photoshoot for Wesley. I'm tickled by how cute they turned out.

Thanks again Lindsi!!!!!!!!!!

He looks a little spoiled with a cake and a sucker... but that's what it took to get him to cooperate!

Dirty but so cute!

(Please ignore our ugly side yard.) Logan found Baylor playing in the dirt like it was a sandbox.

I love this picture Logan got of him!

Grass

Sunny, rainy, sunny, rainy. We'll take it! When we get a dry moment we head out! This was Wesley's first time crawling around in the grass.

It is so easy to get him to smile for the camera...
I love taking pictures of him!

Baylor is getting better at smiling for the camera. Now if only I could get him to pedal on his bike. He prefers to walk around on it. Maybe he needs his cousin TRUE to show him how!!

Getting Through March

March is usually one of my least favorite months. Not sure what the weather is like everywhere else but here it is sooooooo rainy. It kills me. Aside from that there is usually not much going on. I guess there is St. Patti's day but.. Come on? Anyways, what I'm getting at is this March has been awesome! There have been so many fun things going on, friends visiting, and enough 30 minute sun breaks in our rainy days to make it sorta feel like Spring!

Natalie came to visit at the beginning of the month. Yes she lives in Colorado but I still manage to see her often. I love that! My family has discovered a new passion. Karaoke. Me and Casey go crazy with it. When Nat came in town I borrowed my parent's Karaoke Machine and we had a blast!

I've added a few 'Springy' touches to the inside of my home to make it feel sunny. I sewed some new pillow covers for my couches and I must say I am really starting to love sewing! (I seriously never thought I would say that!) I sewed a total of 8 pillow covers, which was a lot of work (for me) but I'm happy with how they turned out.

If nothing else, THESE are the highlight of my March every year. I have already gone through three bags... plus two boxes of the cream eggs.... Why are these candies SO GOOD?

Being lazy on a Sunday afternoon.

My first thought was 'Oh my gosh what a waste of toilet paper!!'.... my second thought was 'Oh my gosh where is my camera???' I think I wanna frame this and put it in my bathroom.

This was a HUGE highlight, my Grandma Chapman came to visit! My Dad brought her here from Moses Lake. We had Casey's birthday party over at our house. We sang some Karaoke and did a little dancing, it was actually a really fun party. My Grandma loved it!

Happy Birthday Casey!

This picture is totally goofy, but I love it.  I can't get enough of my little Baylor!

One person's trash is another's treasure! My friend Kendall was getting rid of her wooden IKEA slide and a wooden train/car table... SCORE! We have been spending lots more time in our bonus room now that we have some fun new toys!!!!

After 11 months Wesley finally decided he was willing to put some weight on his legs! He can stand!

This was yesterday. Two of my best friends Brenna and Katie came over for a lunch and baby play date! We were all pregnant at the same time. It is so fun to get the babies altogether. I love these girls! (and the cute babies!)

Rose, Whitney Parker and Wesley :)

Snow Day!

It snowed! And it stuck! Logan was sick, but even he made sure to go out and play since this only happens once a year... if we are lucky!!!!

Baylor calls the snow 'Snowies!'

He was really excited when he saw it!

Wesley was inside taking a nap... Maybe next year Wes :)
