April

Cutler has really turned into a "Moma's Boy" lately. Everytime that Clay even holds him with me in the room this is the face that immediately follows.

Checking out the toy box at 3 am...... It was a rough night :(

Coster has been wanting me to take pictures of him at random times. This one he wanted a picture of himself running with his bag. The simple things in life :)

Coster has been into balloons so we made our family in balloons. Clay, Me, Coster and Cutler. Coster liked how they could stick to the wall after rubbing them on his head

My family came out for a visit (or should I say work marathon) during the first part of April. It was so nice to have them here. The boys loved having other people around. This is Amanda's fiance Jerron. He also joined in on the action of finishing the basement and even had a few Home Depot runs. That is how you know you have been "accepted" into the family :)

Coster reading his Easter book from my aunt Jean Ann

Then doing what he does best....... eating it!

Cutler has been doing good with his sippy cup too. He looks so big in this picture to me.

Getting ready to color some Easter eggs

Did you know that they sell these Q tip things that have the color already in them? You just snap the top and the color comes through the Q tip. It was so much cleaner than the dye and Coster could write things on the eggs.

Cutler getting ready to be done with it

And Clay getting ready to be done with it..... Me and Coster had a good time thoughSo the story goes as follows..... I once again was in the bathroom and came out to find that Coster was feeding Cutler some of his powdered donut. I asked Coster what he was doing and he told me that he was giving Cutler baby bites so it was ok. Well, so much for keeping sugar away from this little one. I guess I need to STOP going to the bathroom. There is always trouble. :)

I LOVE this face!

One of the few creatures that was hanging around our house for a little while. Sick! We have also been battling the Gophers, the rabbits, the grubs, Vultures, Hawks, and coyotes. Thank goodness we haven't seen any rattlesnakes yet though. I can definitley do with out those.

Cutler checking out the toy box again.

*Cutler is now an official crawler and talker. He says da da all day long. he also likes to crawl around and get Coster's toys and Turf. He has even been crawling up the 2 little stairs in our family room.

*He likes to eat crackers and his fruits and whatever Coster gives him ;)

* He still isn't sleeping through the night but we are getting closer. Keep in mind he is 8 1/2 months now.

* He is wearing 18 month clothes mostly which works out well since summertime was the season Coster was in at 18months. He is a big baby boy. Also he has been in size 5 diapers since about 5 months old. Hopefully he starts thinning out a bit with all of this crawling or we will be in trouble in the diaper department

* Coster is 3 years old and loves to go to Nursery. (Finally) He talks pretty much all day long :)

* He likes to wrestle the crap out of Cutler any chance he gets. He likes me to set Cutler down in the middle of the floor so that he can run around him. He thinks that is great fun.

* Coster finds joy in simple things which is nice. He is pretty easy going and can entertain himself which sometimes leads to trouble but what do you expect from boys?

* He is starting to talk about things that happened months ago but he remembers every detail. He has a 5 minute story about how Cutler bonked his head :)

*He does random things that crack me up like the other day he got the big sausage thing out of the fridge and was running around the house with it like it was a football and chucking it to the ground like a touchdown. He also came up behind me and grabbed my leg and said "Tap out Mom, tap out" (wrestling with dad)

* He loves to be outside throwing dirt and rocks and recently has been able to water the trees by himself :) He thinks that is pretty cool that Clay lets him do it.

Just wanted to jot down a few little things that they are doing since I won't remember 2 months from now :)
