Mud Bugs and More

Parker has been so busy lately. Climbing climbing climbing on anything he can. As a matter of fact I had to remove the bumper out of his crib because I walked in to find him straddling the top rail of his crib and was 20 seconds from being on the ground. Crazy kid! I am not ready to put him in a toddler bed yet so hopefully he will chill out with the gymnastic moves. He has been repeating words and identifying body parts, animals and making animal sounds. My favorite is the elephant. He makes the noise and does the arm motion at the same time. It is so cute! We had to take him to the doctor this week because his eczema has been SO bad. It is all over his body and flares up bright red. The doctor said it is most likely so bad right now because of allergy season. She put him on Zyrtec twice a day and prescribed us a daily cream and a steroid as needed. I feel so bad for him. It HAS to be uncomfortable :( Apparently allergies, athsma and eczema are all connected and if one of us had any of those as a child then our kids have a high chance of having it. Since I had athsma AND allergies it makes sense. Luckily Rylee must have gotten Adam's genes in that department!






We had a crawfish boil at our house last weekend. My Mom and Wade usually have one every Spring but they convienced us to have it this year. To "pass the torch" so to speak! I am glad we did it because it was so much fun and I ALWAYS enjoy eating crawfish when Wade makes it! It was mostly family but we can't have a party with out our best buds the Rentfro's and The Knotts :) The kids had an absolute blast. Parker played on the side of the house with the sprinkler for about an hour. It was the funniest thing. I am so happy that we have such a nice backyard now. The playset helps too!!! Good times.


Looking forward to the rest of April. We have friends from Austin coming to visit Friday night and are taking them to the Montgomery County cook-off. Then Rylee's FIFTH Birthday, her party and Easter all in the same weekend! Busy month but all good stuff! :)

Comfort and Seaworld


















A few weeks ago we went to Comfort to go visit my Dad and Sherry aka Poppy and Nanny. We love love love going to Comfort! It is so beautiful and peaceful. Well, as peaceful as somewhere can be with an almost 5 year old and almost 2 year old. ;) The big excitement this trip was getting to see Tucker. Nanny and Poppy have had Tucker off and on since Parker has been born but since Christmas, Comfort is his new home. I think everyone including Tucker is happy with this arrangement OTHER than Rylee. She cried when I told her he couldn't come home with us :( Parker did really good this trip. He loved exploring outside AND inside. We were able to time this trip with when the Rentfro's and Knott's were going to San Antonio for a trip to Seaworld. Comfort is only 40 minutes from San Antonio so we drove up to meet them Friday so all the kids could go to Seaworld together. I was impressed at how well it went. The weather was great, the park was not crowded and the kids all behaved. Parker wasn't really feeling well that weekend however he seemed to really enjoy the shows.


Ok so it looks like I am having some technical difficulties (GO FIGURE), so I will have to do a separate blog for the crawfish boil we just had. I swear I hate computers. It seems to be nothing but problems. I can't log onto my hotmail account from home so I had to create a new email. Additionally I can only view half of the pictures on facebook, (I know I know, who cares about facebook) and NOW I can't download pics onto blogspot the way I used to and they all go at the top of the page no matter how I try to position them. ARGGGGGG. So frustrating. This is a fairly new computer and I don't exactly download new things often so I am not sure what the problem is. ANYWAY see next post for continuation or our April so far.
