Playing Catch Up...

I can't believe it's been since January that I posted...oops!  I'm sure all 4 of you are dying for an update :) I will play catchup on the last 2 months.

FEBRUARY
We went down to Florida for our 10 year reunion.  It was SO good to see old friends and to meet their kids.  I will forever be grateful for FC.  Besides meeting Trey there, I made friendships that will last a lifetime.  I love how I hadn't seen some of the people in YEARS, but we immediately reconnected again and it was just like old times. 

A bonus of family living down there was we got to spend a week with the Bassetts.  We had so much fun hanging out and spending quality time with them.








We also went to Disney while we were in FL (it was a very busy week).  I could spend a whole post on how much fun Disney was and what a magical experience it was, but I will spare you all.  We had a blast and I can't wait to go back.  I love experiencing Disney through the eyes of your children-precious!

After leaving FL we stopped in GA and Trey dropped the kids and I off at my parents.  He was going to be out of town for 5 days so we hung out with my parents while he was gone.  He got back on Valentines Day and we went out to dinner and did a little shopping.  It's always nice when you don't have to pay for a sitter and my parents can watch them-SCORE!


MARCH
In the beginning of March, the FC chorus came through on their tour and we got to spend the day at the park with the Bassetts (minus Jenny and baby Luke) and the 54 college students on tour.  Dylan LOVED all the attention and will still ask when the college kids are going to come play with him.  We followed the bus on Sunday (10th) to Arkansas and then spent time with Trey's parents, Jenny, Anna and baby Luke.  We always have a good time in Jonesboro and this time was no exception.  Dylan loves all the animals Grandpa and Nema have and the 4WHEELERS!



We got back from Jonesboro and a few days later Trey left again for Dallas.  I can totally handle both kids by myself, but when my mom offered to come help I jumped on it.  Mamaw spent the week with us and we went to the zoo, parks, shopping and Dylan had a stomach bug that luckily only lasted one night.

 We had a good Easter, but it was rainy and we didn't get to have an egg hunt, so some friends from church are hosting a BBQ and egg hunt for this Sunday...better late than never.   We took the kids to see the Easter bunny and Cheyenne is probably going to be scarred for life.  She wanted nothing to do with the freaky bunny, but I made her sit on his lap anyways and she let everyone in the whole mall know that she was VERY unhappy about it.  


And that bring us up to present.  Dylan and Cheyenne are growing like crazy and learning new stuff everyday.  Cheyenne is our little songbird and sings ALL DAY LONG.  She loves Twinkle Twinkle, ABC's, My God is So Big and Bumpy Thumb.  She finally decided to walk at 15 months and no  longer wants to be held-ever.  

Dylan is turning into a little boy.  He loves to ride his balancing bike, play with cars, music, and anything outside.  He has just started pretend playing and interacting with his  toys.  I love listening to him play in the playroom by himself.  He will set the stage with his toys and fill everyone in on what they are suppose to do.  Sometimes Cheyenne is allowed to play, but if she doesn't "follow his rules" she can't play with him anymore-that makes for some lively times. He also loves to tell stories.  He will start a story and I have to ask him if it's "for real or for fake"...he came up with that phrase and I love it so much I use it often. 

PHEW, I think we are all caught up...see you in 3 more months :)
