It's Official!!!

And more than one thing, at that!

First things first, my Reese has his molars! Yes, yes, the big boy has his "chomping" teeth and we couldn't be happier. He got his first 2 teeth in so fast and then nothing.....we got all top 4 in at the same time and they are still coming in a bit. At our 1 year checkup, Dr. Wiley said his molars were coming in (all this just by looking in his ears) and sure enough, today he let us get a glimpse of them! We have gotten to where we don't really look for them because now he knows he can bite our fingers to get them out of his mouth! We've learned that we can hold him upside down and tickle him and he shows it all! Finally we can tear his food a little bigger! (This is the most tedious thing to do when we eat!!!)

And second, our house is on the market! GULP! It felt so weird. We went to dinner tonight and when we drove back up, the sign was in the yard and I felt so sad and violated already. I mean, we could have people as early as tomorrow walk through the place we call home and say they hate it! I love my house - think it's adorable (and don't worry, when the pictures are up online, I'll post the link so you can all see how adorable the house is!) It's just, this is our first house as a married couple, the first house we had our son in.....all those things. It's just hard to pull up and see a sign in your yard advertising people to come on in!

But on another note - it is the most perfect starter house. Reese's room is painted in vintage baseball with Red and khaki walls. The kitchen is cute - it's all cute. If you know of any newlyweds, this is the place for them!!!!!

And now, some pictures....I know, it's been awhile!
Noble and Reese. Noble is Garrett's cousin on his dad's side (it's his step-mom's nephew). Anyways, he lives in Stephenville and he was going to Odessa to see his family for the week so Gare's dad and step mom came to Abilene to pick him up. He had a blast RUNNING Reese up and down the street in his car. Needless to say Reese almost fell out (they were on 2 wheels) and mom isn't quite ready for that, so the ride had to stop. This is LONG before the wild man came out in Noble!

Oh Chuck-E! We were in Lubbock for Easter and it was Reagan's birthday. (Reagan will most likely be Reese's cousin one day. My mom dates Reagan's Paw. It's so fun because we all have kids the same age). Anyways, Reese LOVED Chuck - E and couldn't stop staring, or poking!



Mr. Happy.....this shirt says it all!


My son, the lover of books. Today, he found out that these books on my shelf weren't books, but pictures. I walked up behind the boys while Garrett was flipping through this book with Reese and telling him about all the pictures. Garrett really takes time to explain and go over things with Reese - and that is one of my favorite "fatherly" qualities of his.


Second Easter-First Easter Egg Hunt. We did this in mom's backyard the Saturday before Easter. We were leaving Sunday and it was supposed to be in the low 40's, so we did it the night before. Here he is heading out the door.

He found these baseball eggs earlier in the week at home and was dying to have them....when he saw them, it was like he found an old friend!


Two eggs at once!

Trying to figure out why they were going in his basket!

A little bit of dad's help

Ok, next the shirts!I think they are the most precious things ever! Thanks to Baby Sew Trendy for hooking us up. You really should go check her out! Her website is undergoing Construction, so check back soon. I wanted the camo one because we have everything camo and then I wanted cowboy. I asked her what she had and she said a "vintage cowboy look". Well, if you look closely, on the middle of the "r" is a little boy cowboy. HOW CUTE! Anyways, these shirts were only $15 each and so worth it! Just look at how cute he is.
Sorry the pictures of these aren't great. Reese realizes now that the camera has an orange light on it and he wants it....
