Bath Time Fun!

Now that both, Matthew and Emily are sitting, they can enjoy bath time without using an infant tub. They love to kick and splash in the master bath "swimming pool." Thanks to Dad's help, they do not mind having water on their faces and will even go under water without hesitation. I think they are ready for the real pool!!

Easter Weekend

We went to Louisiana for Easter. David played golf and the kids and I did lots of visiting. We saw family and friends. Here are a couple of pics playing at Cheryl's house. They sure did love Andrew's toys!!

We had a crawfish boil on Easter Sunday and then headed back to Texas. Matthew and Emily did not get to participate in the Easter egg hunt this year because they were too busy drinking bottles. Watch out because the golden eggs will be theirs next year!! After a 4 hour drive back to The Woodlands, they were ready to play!!

Matthew's 1st Haircut

To my dismay, Matthew got his first hair cut. His hair was very long on top and short around the sides. David has been insisting for a couple of weeks and I was finally overruled for trying to wait until he turned 1. I will admit that it was a sad moment for this Momma but it looks much better. David cut it for him and he was very interested in playing with the cord to the clipper and the whole thing last 5 minutes. I have the little curls saved in a ziplock. I made sure that David knew that Emily would be going to the salon!!

Texas Bluebonnets 2012

Bluebonnets (the Texas state flower) bloom in mid-March to early April. This year they are extra pretty and abundant due to steady rain and a mild winter. We took a day trip to Chappell Hill, Texas to check out the flowers and take pics of our favorite twins and pups!

9 months old

Matthew and Emily went for their 9 month check up and here is how they measured up:

Mardi Gras 2012

We could not attend Mardi Gras this year but we still showed Matthew and Emily what beads were all about.
