Rhett at 2.5!

When I think of Rhett at 2 1/2, I think LOUD, WILD, and HILARIOUS.

Loud:  Rhett has one volume.  He literally yells about 90% of what he says, whether he is happy, sad, or mad.  

Wild:  Rhett is constantly climbing onto tables and countertops, jumping off of furniture, and wrestling with his brother (and sometimes his sister).  He is very physical in general, so we are working on reigning that in a bit.  At this point, I would say that he is very different than Reid in almost every way.  Reid has never been a wild one.  Something else that stands out to me as being different is that Reid had very specific interests at this age (obsessed with animals, trains, etc.) and Rhett doesn't really have favorites.  He's not super into toys.  Maybe it's because he's the third child and is usually more interested in what his brother and sister are doing??

Hilarious:  Rhett is so funny and he knows it.  He has the best facial expressions and dance moves ever.  He is definitely picking up on everything his siblings say and enjoys trying out different phrases.  
"That's WEIRD!"
"FINE." (not acceptable)
"NOT FAIR!" (also not acceptable)
After being corrected by me he either says, "Just kidding!" or "Okay, kind sir!" 

This boy has a smile and dimples that get me every time!









In addition to his precious smile, we also get some variation of this face quite often! :)

We love you so much, Rhett!!!

Spring Things

Spring has pretty much come and gone!  May is here, which means lots of end of the school year fun/craziness to be had! 


Reid has had a great time with his Red Sox team this season!

Georgia is still enjoying dance and we are looking forward to her recital next month.  


These two have been doing some swim lessons.

Our small group did something different this semester and the kiddos haven't been seeing each other weekly, so we really enjoyed our pizza at the park night with these friends!


Ellison and Rhett 

Reid had a fun field trip to the Houston Museum of Natural Science to learn about butterflies!



This little guy had his first visit to the dentist!  There were no tears - hooray!  

Reid participated in his school's spelling bee!  He did great and I was so proud of him for actually getting up on the stage and doing it! 


I went to my last preschool Mother's Day Tea with my girl.  She was SO excited about it and it was precious.  She wanted to wear a necklace and kept putting on her chapstick that morning. :)

Mother's Day writing from Reid

Reid had "field day" at GlowZone and it was really fun!


We went to Blessington Farms to pick blueberries and play!  The kids absolutely love going there.  


















Musmie and I took Georgia Kate to Disney on Ice!  It was such a fun time together!






The highlight of our spring has been that Alli, John, and Perry are now our NEIGHBORS!  They moved down the street and it has already been a blast!  



Happy May!

Easter Recap

Easter weekend was busy and beautiful!  

The big kids had their Easter parties at school.  Georgia Kate was especially excited about her party!  I love how much she loves school.  Her teachers kept the party small and didn't involve parents this time, so Rhett and I popped into Reid's party for a few minutes.  




We spent Good Friday in Gonzales and had a great time!




We dyed eggs, of course...

We attempted some pictures in the bluebonnets.  The two littles were being extra silly and wild! ;)







Reid and Georgia Kate left cards for the Easter Bunny :)



Easter Baskets!


My babies before church...

After church we spent the day at Mumsie and Popsie's house!  We were so happy to be able to celebrate Easter there!
