Spwinkewehr Fun! (Translation: Sprinkler Fun!)

Sprinkler is one of those words that is fun to hear your toddler say when he cannot make the "r" or "l" sound correctly!

A few weeks ago before while I was fixing supper, Corbin decided to go put the sprinkler's out back to water the yard. Carter asked me if he could go in the back yard and I knew Corbin was out there so I just let him go. Well, turns out Corbin had just walked to the side of the house to turn the water on and guess what Carter did????

Yep, ran RIGHT for the sprinkler with all of his clothes on. It was too late before I realized he had done it!

Needless to say, Carter had a BLAST. Corbin and I just laughed and let him run around for a while, getting soaking wet!

He didn't even hesitate to put his face in the water! The picture below cracks me up!

Springtime is going to be so much fun with two crazy little boys running around! At least now I know that if I get tired of them, I can just put the sprinkler in the back yard and let them have at it!

Of course I took some video of the event! This child sure does keep us on our toes!!

Back to Work!

I went back to work several weeks ago and we are all adjusting fairly well. To prepare, we had to make sure Levi would take a bottle. Since I breastfeed, it is always a gamble on whether or not the baby will transition well to a bottle. We were lucky with Carter and he took to it right away. Of course, Levi had to give us some drama!

The week before I went back, I had Corbin give Levi a bottle of milk. You can tell by the look on his face, he is like "What in the WORLD is this thing, Dad!?". He did everything BUT suck on the darn thing. Luckily, I changed bottles and he did a little better, but it took him an hour and a half to drink 4 ounces. Ridiculous!

I was beggining to think I wouldn't be able to go back to work (not the worst thing ever! ha!), but when we tried again a few days later he did just fine. Guess he just realized that if he was hungry he was going to have to drink out of that contraption!

I sure am missing my sweet munchkin while I'm at work! Of course, I miss Carter too, but I'm used to being without him and Levi and I got rather attached during my 6 weeks off!
I mean, how can you resist that chubby face?!

Smiley Levi!

I seriously cannot resist this little boys sweet grin! I also cannot resist a little boy is seersucker! Love him!

Take Me Out to the Ball Game!

Corbin plays on a church softball team (he is actually the coach!) so me and the boys went to one of his games. Fun was had by all! Carter enjoyed a nice snack before the game started. That boy can tear up a banana!

This will be the only picture of Levi. This is what he did. The entire time. Haha! And I was worried about wrangling the two of them!
Hey Daddy!
Carter cheering on the team. "Go Daddy Go!" was his cheer of choice.
As every 2 year old boy does, he got distracted by the ants. He just watched them and watched them. It was so funny.
His friend Addie was at the game too. She is just a few months older than Carter even though she towers over him. Her parents are super tall and Carter's parents...aren't! They were so sweet to each other.

After the game was over, Carter got to run the bases with Daddy.

He got tired of running at about 3rd base...
Carter is already ready for the next game! I don't even think Levi realized that we left the house!

Levi's Newborn Session

I'm not going to apologize this time for being MIA. I spent my last couple weeks of maternity leave snuggling with my boys and enjoying being at home! My first week back at work was this past week...more on that later. For now, here are some of my favorites from Levi's newborn photoshoot!

Birth Announcement

We've mailed them out, so I figured I would post Levi's birth announcement on the blog! I love it! It is definitely my favorite design yet. (I do this for a living, so I am lucky that I have a lot of resources to make the cutest things!)

I will share all of his newborn session next!!

Easter Activities, Part 2

Saturday night we went to Corbin's parent's house for an early Easter dinner. The boys got spoiled with Easter gifts, and Carter particularly enjoyed this bad boy:

Carter went to a birthday party a few weeks ago and they had a basketball set like this one and he LOVED it, so when we were asked for some gift ideas, that was the first thing we thought of. Of course it didn't stay in the box very long!
I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, Carter or his Daddy and Papa! Although Carter only made about 1 in 10 shots, I did manage to get a (blurry) picture of Carter making a basket.
After we ate, Carter went outside for an Easter egg hunt. He was a pro! I can't wait until both of the boys are out there hunting for eggs next year...assuming Levi can walk by then.


Something I learned this year is that I will NOT be using Easter grass anymore. I don't know if it is a boy thing, but Carter insisted on dumping every bit of the Easter grass out at his Mimi and Papa's house - and ours! I'm still finding it in random places in the house. Yikes.
Easter Sunday morning was kind of a blur. We were running a little late, so I didn't break out the camera until right before we left. Both of the boys got Easter baskets. Carter's was full of fun goodies - a puzzle, flip flops (fwip fwops as C calls them), outside toys, etc. Levi's was basically empty with just a paci holder. There really isn't a lot of options for a 3 week old!
This was my first time dressing the boys alike and I must say, I thought they were looking rather handsome! I found these outfits on super sale, so I was very pleased with myself! Carter is still learning how to "hold" Levi.
I just had to add these pictures of sweet Aisley. She was looking too cute in her Easter dress/hat!

I hope that everyone had a fabulous Easter!!
