13 Months

Cason Bradley you are 13 months old today!

You are wearing size 12-18 month clothes, a size 3 shoe, and size 4 diaper. You can say dat (that), hi, hey, momma, dada, bye, tant you (thank you),  ba (cup), and dog (sorta of).  All four of your molars came in this month and you now have 12 teeth.

You are an excellent eater and love everything! When you get hungry you walk over to your highchair point up at it and say ugh! You now drink 100% from a cup and have not had a bottle in 3 weeks. You recently started to take only one afternoon nap, which is another sign you are growing up.

You LOVE your golf clubs and usually always have one in your hand or nearby. You are walking everywhere and into everything. You have also started to run!

Your new favorite thing is to sit at the table in the chairs. You are also quite the little comedian and crack yourself up all the time. You are so funny and have the cutest little laugh! You also love to sing which goes something like this, la la la la la la!

You are such a sweet little boy and we love you very very much!

Emory Grace

Emory has been keeping us on our toes lately. She's a little spit fire filled to the brim with sweetness, wit, and attitude. We never know what she is going to come up with next. Last night we had spaghetti for dinner and Emory asked for more pixie dust. It took me a minute to figure out that pixie dust was parmesan cheese. Thankfully she did not decide to fly during dinner!

Her new thing is to sit with her legs crossed. She looks so grown up when she sits like this. Her favorite saying is "you're the best ....." I must admit that I love it when she says "you're the best mom." She also says "oh that is so cute" all the time. She still says "oh nugget" when she messes up which cracks me up still.

She is strong willed as ever and at barely three all ready wants to pick out her clothes in the morning. We have had many a battle over clothes and hair styles. She is also a very sweet and caring little girl. She loves the outdoors, helping, and her brother.

I had to include this picture because she was giving me attitude while I was snapping it. Even with the attitude she is still my silly little goose and pumpkin all rolled into one! 

Weekend Review

Our weekend kicked off Saturday morning with a crawfish boil. I did not feel all that great but did manage to take a few pictures. Emory and Cason had a good time playing train, which consisted of Emory riding her 4-wheeler and pushing Cason around on the tricycle.

I thought this picture was sweet.

Just excuse the big brownie stain on his shirt, which he LOVED!! 

Uncle Blake and Cason

Cason "riding" the tricycle.

Everyone had a good time and the weather was perfect for a crawfish boil. By Saturday night I was feeling worse and ended going to bed and sleeping until 8:00 Sunday morning. That is late in our household because two little blue eyed kiddos I know are ALWAYS up by 6:30. We ended up missing church because I still was not feeling wonderful and Cason and I stayed in our pj's all day. Cason has started racing anything with wheels.

Here he is racing his car and train. It must have been a very important race because he was very serious!

Here is Emory being silly. She was being proper by covering her mouth while giggling. Not sure where she learned that one. She never ceases to amaze me with the things she comes up with.

One of these days I am going to say, "smile Emory" and she is going to give me the biggest non fake smile ever. That is what I keep telling myself anyways!

Until then.........

Mmm Mmm Good

Little Shiner

Cason fell at Ms. Betty's on Thursday and hit the edge of the toy box resulting in his first black eye/cheek. Poor baby!  

Bunny Ears

Every year I take Emory and Cason's picture wearing the same pair of bunny ears. This year was no different except for the fact that Cason did not want them on his head and Emory was in a mood!

Because He Lives

We sang one of my favorite hymns this morning in church, "Because He Lives," and I have been humming the chorus all afternoon.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow

Because He lives, all fear is gone;

Because I know He holds the future,

And life is worth the living,

Just because He lives!

After church we went to Mimi and PeePaw's house to say hello and Happy Easter! I attempted to get a few pictures of Emory and Cason. Easier said then done!

Cason Bradley - Easter 2012

Emory Grace - Easter 2012

Once we got home Cason took a much needed nap and Emory chased butterfly's with her new butterfly net.

After many many attempts and no butterfly she decided it was time to hunt Easter eggs. She did an excellent job finding the eggs.

Yes she is wearing rain boots and yes they are on the wrong feet!!

 Emory had a great time hunting Easter eggs!

HAPPY EASTER!!

Easter Morning

This morning after the kids woke up they went and checked their Easter baskets. Cason immediately found his chocolate bunnies and scooped them up!

He really liked the bunnies. Here he is shown me his new "prize."

Emory checking out all her goodies. She got a tube of different flavored chap sticks, candy, a book, a butterfly net, a sand pail, and a "surfboard." She told us a week or so ago that she wanted a surfboard to take to the beach when we go this summer.

Here she is surfing.

She is such a mess!

Cason got his first set of markers, sidewalk chalk, teddy grams, and candy.

After we played for a bit it was time to get ready for church.

Morning Memories

This morning after breakfast Emory and Cason were playing in Emory's room. While cleaning up the kitchen I heard Emory say that her baby had poo pooed and that she had to clean it up. I guess I should have immediately gone in there but did not think much of it until I heard her say, "Momma there is poo poo all over my bed." When I went to investigate I found Emory cleaning her baby's bottom with Cason's baby wipes. She was on her 8th wipe by that time. Needless to say her baby's bottom and her bed were well cleaned. I found Cason having a blast sitting in the baby doll bed too!

After we dressed her baby Emory decided it was time for her to take a nap. She informed me that her baby needed to nap in the living room so Cason would not disturb her. So into the living room she went. I later found her reading a book to her baby.

While Cason and the baby napped Emory and I dyed Easter eggs. We had the kind you can decorate by writing on them with the "magic" crayon.

Emory had a good time dying the Easter eggs.

A few of our masterpieces!!

After Cason's nap he rode his truck. He is pretty good at pushing himself around on it now.

I got tickled because he got off and then got right back on backwards.

I guess he wanted a different view!

He then got in trouble for trying to use his truck as a stool. By the time I got to him he was standing on the seat. Yikes!

We had a fun morning playing and decorating Easter eggs!
