Guess Who...

Will be BIG BROTHERS...

I've had this post waiting for a while, it's hard to keep good news a secret for too long...so enough is enough...Grant & Reid are going to be big brothers! It's been a rough few weeks of morning sickness, but we couldn't be more excited. The boys are talking about all the things they will teach the new baby...Reid will teach A,B,C,D's and Grant will teach "racecars" and maybe a few manners (I won't hold my breath on that one). Jason and I are looking forward to experiencing everything 1 baby at a time has to offer. We have such a blessed life it's hard to think it can get any better than this, but I know this Baby Nich will be the perfect completion to our family. Baby is scheduled to arrive December 12, 2010.

Things I'm Good At and Things I Like...

The boys love to help mommy these days, and mommy loves the help, so I have been trying to find new things for them to help me with all the time. It started one night when I was making salad and Reid thought tearing up the lettuce looked like fun! Perfect, because that's mommy's least favorite part! So by the time we were done tearing the lettuce and putting the salad together he was very proud of his accomplishment. Next it was iced tea...he would help me open the tea bags and put them in the iced tea maker, and then it progressed to many other areas. So the other night as we were making more tea (I'm addicted to tea!!) Reid decided to tell me all the things he's good at....it went something like this.

Reid: "Mama I'm good at salad, tea, blueberry muffins, cupcakes, cheese, and ants on a log"

Sunday morning we added one more to his repertoire...scrambled eggs...which he proceeded to explain every step we took as we sat down to enjoy our breakfast...I love teaching them new things...not sure who is having more fun with this stage!

On the Grant front...as Reid was telling me all the things he liked the other day, which of course were baskteball, baseball....etc. I decided to ask Grant what he liked. Reid is sometimes more vocal than Grant, so I wanted to see if I could get something out of Grant this time....It went like this...

Me: "Grant, bubba likes basketball and baseball, do you like basketball or baseball?"

Grant: "No"

Me: "What things do you like Grant?"

Grant" "Racecars"

Me: "Is there anything else you like?"

Grant: "Racecars"

So that's about it....a boy of few words, and 1 passion....racecars :)

Pony Rides and Easter Egg Hunts

Happy Easter 2010

This year we spent Easter without Daddy since he was in New Orleans for a tournament. This made church extra fun with two 3 year olds :) It was the boys first time to not go to the nursery. They decided to join me for "big boy church"...thank goodness Grammy & Pops were there to help, because as good as they were I still needed a little assistance. The boys recap of the service was perfect....Reid said "we go to big boy church and sing songs, and stand up sit down, and go to the front for a story (a.k.a. children's message). They were fascinated by the choir and the bells. Thank goodness there was lots of singning! The boys favorite Easter greeting was "He has risen indeed! Alleuia" and so much cuter when they say it!

After church we came home to find the Easter bunny had come and left the boys "bunny baskets". They were so excited of course, and could hardly sit for a picture before they were begging me to open their toys. We had a quick visit with Nana and Papa complete with our very own private Easter egg hunt. We wished we could have stayed longer, but we had more Easter fun to be had so we were off to Gigi and Pa-pa's. We had fun playing in the yard, and visiting with all the family. We had another Easter egg hunt with cousin Blakey and found lots of eggs. The day ended with Grant pulling the bird bath over on his leg, which gave him a nice big boo-boo. Good thing he's my tough boy! It was a long busy day, but tons of fun!

The best part of his Easter if you ask Grant...he got "Wingo", and managed to snag Reid's "DJ" too. He loves cars, and has been wanting these guys for a while. He doesn't leave the house without them now.

Trying to get a quick picture of them together..."hurry up mom"

Please mom, please open it...please!

These are just a couple of the treats Grammy made the boys. These were so cute (the pictures don't do them justice) white chocolate bunnies complete with edible grass.

Field Trip

We took a field trip to Grammy's work to see the big helicopters. The boys had a blast and learned so so much...their favorites questions for Grammy..."what's that?", and more importantly "what's it do?" While Reid was hoping to see a pink helicopter he was more than satisfied with the American flag copter. The boys loved sitting in the helicopter and watching the big red one get pulled out of the hanger for delivery. Check out my future pilots below...oh yeah, and the safety goggles were pretty cool too!
