Could it be Spring? (Why didn't this post way back before!?)

This weather has been good for our souls! We have spent every minute we can outside this week and the boys are beyond happy! I remember this phase Braylon went through one year where he acted as if we were torturing him EVERY time we came in from outside. He seriously wanted to live outside. Brekkon is NOW in that stage! I am sure the neighbors or passing walkers wonder what the heck we do to our children. We have to hold tight once we pick him up because he will try any maneuver to wiggle his way, fall or jump right out of your arms and back on the run outside. Not to mention, if any of you have personally heard it you would agree, Brekkon has the WORST high pitch scream for everything. Especially when he is down right mad! Ugh! I love that our boys have joy and happiness for outside because momma and daddy do too BUT it would be nice to walk inside with out two crying kids and a whole lot of people staring! Ha! 

We have been puddle jumping, scooter riding, bubble blower and walk around the block machines! It has been wonderful! Daddy eve busted out the grill last night and we plan to use it EVERY night... no joke! On top of our outside time at home the boys are both blessed with childcare that enjoys outside time too. I see how happy it make Braylon to be in the sunshine each day and love that Brekkon is doing the same thing with his little friends. 

Speaking of that Brekkon... he went down at 7:30 last night and did not wake up until 6am!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO- HOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I am sure it was a cross of the extra outside time and activities as well as the meal he ate that was fit to feed a giant and followed by a snack at bedtime story. Seriously he out ate his daddy I think! 

We hope you are all enjoying the sunshine just as much! Much love from all of us! 

Where do I even start..,,.

Let's start back with Easter! This was the first year Brekkon really noticed what was going on with all the Saster eggs, baskets, egg hunts and so on. We were blessed to be able to spend Easter Sunday with family. We headed to Mamaw and Papaw's Saturday and had a fun play date at the farm helping plant the garden and getting a little one on one with Mamaw and Papaw. The boys even ended the night with a wrestle session. Which. Brekkon now joins in on! Braylon loved the garden (it's quiet large!). It was like his own special place with all the dirt he could get into and nobody cared! He was hammering dirt clumps, racking, digging holes and even "planted" his shoes! We of course love to go bare foot so what else do you do with shoes I a garden! I was sure hoping some new ones would grow because he has pretty much wore right through them! Brekkon, however, did not like the dirt. It took him 20 mi Utes and a lot of graham crackers to decide maybe he should stand up.... He finally got the hang of it as we were fi wining up. He sure loved to mess with Papaw and get some giggles out though! 

We headed to be that night to rest up for an eventful Easter Sunday at church and a LOT of play time at the farm. We had fun riding the four wheeler, shooting off rockets, playing king of the mountain, running around like crazy, flying kites and shooting guns (for the grown ups)! 

On top of all that... Who could forget about Easter baskets from the Easter Bunny and our egg hunt!?!? The Easter Bunny hit spot on with a Ninja Turtle water bottle for Braylon and some sweet new sunglasses for Brekkon! 

Along with all our Easter fun at the farm the boys participated in a fun, local egg hunt with some crafts and a visit with the Easter Bunny. Neither would get near him but both looked in awe as I snatched them up in my lap to get some what of a picture! 

It was a busy Easter! Phew! That was only one of the items on my "catch up" list! More tomorrow... Night! 

A few firsts are on the way...

I have a lot to catch up on and many pictures to share but I just finished working out (yes...you read that right!) and I need my bed! Ha! I was blessed with a "free" day off yesterday. Braylon chose to day a half day at school and Brekkon and did some much needed retail therapy. Nothing too crazy but we had some things on our family/house need list that we were able to get and spend some time together. We kicked off the day with a lazy start and wished daddy a great day! After dropping big brother off we headed to the mall and started with bagels from Panera! I got two knowing that bubby LoVeS his food! We knocked off the things on our list and even gt a couple summer baseball caps for a bonus! Right before our lay heck out and lunch this guy cashed out on me....

Needless to say he was not very fond of his momma for waking him up to have lunch! Ha! We grabbed braylon on our way home and he couldn't wait to see his cool new things. He was super stoked about his new undies (we clearly do not shop much), new sandals and his surprise hat for being a ROCKSTAR that morning and pretty much getting Brekkon ready! ....when did he get so big!?!?..... 

The hat really does fit him better... Promise! We took a family nap and all cuddled together and then finished our day with some family chores. Minus the money spent... I could use a free day more often! 

Dady is home all weekend and one final week with no after school meetings before baseball....exciting!!! Look for a post with some new fun updates and photos!
