Easter Sunday

We had a great Easter Sunday! The weather forecast said it was to be stormy all day, but the clouds opened that afternoon to a beautiful Spring day.

The Easter Bunny came!

We went to church and then to brunch at Royal Oaks. Here's the whole clan at the club. JoJo, Noni, Blake, Evan, Miller, Katie (Evan's best friend from high school), Lindsey and Jud.

Our little family.

Miller actually sat in the Easter Bunny's lap, but he wasn't quite smiling.

Easter Egg Hunt

Our church had an Easter Egg hunt on Saturday morning. Miller had so much fun.

He's not quite sure what to think of the Easter Bunny.

He actually got the hang of the Easter Egg Hunt, but he really enjoyed just running around and opening all the eggs.

Say Cheese!

Carly Lee invited Miller and a few other kids over to bake and decorate Easter cookies the Friday before Easter. Miller had so much fun with all the girls. We can't wait until baby David Lee joins in the fun next year!

Miller and Anne Louise Clark rolling out the dough.

Here we are all baking away. Miller really enjoyed decorating the cookies. Actually, he liked eating the jelly beans the best.

Anne Louise Clark, Miller and Lilly Smith. The Clark twins were so good and slept the whole time. Next year they can join in the fun.

Miller - 19 Months

Since we haven't had Miller's pictures taken in six months, we decided to just take him to the mall to get some done. It was easy, quick and cheap. I think they turned out pretty good.

He's such a big boy.

Look at that smile.

Rodeo Time!

Jud took an afternoon off work and we took Miller to the Rodeo for the first time. We had such a fun day!

Miller went on the pony rides and is still talking about it. He just randomly says "pony".

Mommy and Miller with the pony. Miller is waving at Daddy.

I'm a farmer.

Miller loved the petting zoo the most. He walked around to every animal and gave them each a love pat. Here he is hugging a deer.

He's petting a goat. We had to drag him out of the petting zoo after 20 minutes kicking and screaming. Next year, I'm sure we will be going on all the carnival rides. He was only 1/2 an inch too short to ride some of the big rides this year.

Azalea Trail - Bayou on the Bend

On Sunday, March 8, so we met Erica and Lilly Smith and Carly Lee at Bayou on the Bend during the Azalea Trail. Not only was it beautiful weather, but the grounds were amazing. Plus, the kiddos had so much fun running around.

Miller and Lilly playing with leaves.

Miller loved the fountain. I'm surprised he didn't try to jump in.

Smelling the beautiful flowers.

He just climbed up on a bench by himself and sat there for a while.

Miller - 18 Months

Miller is now 18 months old. He is such a little man. He is talking like crazy and my guess is he knows about 100 words. We went to his 18 month check-up this week and he didn't have to get any shots. It was a much more pleasant visit than previous ones. He is 35 1/2 inches tall (99%) and weighs 27 lbs. 12 oz. (75%).

Look how big I am. I love to climb up in the desk chair and be pushed around.

Such a sweet face.

DFW Road Trip

Jud had a TCU Alumni board meeting in Ft. Worth the weekend of February 21. Lindsey and Miller tagged along to see some friends. What a great weekend!

We walked around TCU's campus and saw all the new construction. I can't believe how much it has changed in ten years. Miller loved seeing the horned frog.

We stayed two nights with Maggie and Micah in Ft. Worth. Eli and Miller are best buds and had so much fun.

Eli even taught Miller some of his wrestling moves. Thanks to the Maggie and Micah for us letting crash at your house.

Lindsey and Miller met one of Lindsey's old friends, Lauren Bostwick, at a mall on Friday. It was so much fun to finally see her kiddos. Miller and Bryson had a great time driving the cars and trains.

On Friday night we went to the Storms' house with Ricky and Shea. They are so much fun and set up their bounce house in their playroom. Miller had a blast with Laura and Bryce.

While we were at Bryan and Carrie's, Miller climbed in the doll pack-n-play and tried to go nite-nite. Too funny.

On Saturday we headed to Dallas and stayed with the Lindley's. Miller and Addison had a lot of fun playing together.

They even took a bath together.

Here they are looking for the dogs. Addison is only two months younger than Miller, but Miller seemed like a giant next to her. Thanks to Courtney and Stephanie for being such great hosts!

Before we drove back to Houston on Sunday, we stopped by Erin & Mat Threadgill's. Miller had lots of fun playing with Katie and it was great to finally meet Caroline. Too bad we don't get to see them more often.
