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!!

Easter Activities, Part 1

n the Friday before Easter, we went over to my parents house for supper. My dad (aka Poppy) had a little activity for Carter planned out.

They made bird nests with Rice Krispy Treats. Carter had no idea what that meant of course, but he was pumped.
Levi, not so thrilled, but he's only 3 weeks old so we'll cut him some slack!
Carter is VERY much boy, but one thing he does not like is for his hands to be sticky. This obviously proved a problem as he was supposed to mold the marshmallowy bird nests with his hands. It didn't take too long before he was saying "Mommy, hands sticky!" - a phrase we hear at almost every meal.
Another thing that shocked me is that he wasn't a big fan of the yummy treat. What kid doesn't like Rice Krispy Treats!?
He was very happy to share with his Aunt Kristen, though!
Me and my good friends Lisa and Ashley had decided that we wanted to do something special for the kids for Easter, so we got them some cute iron on letters and did some not-so-professional portraits!
Our cuties (L-R): Hudson (1), Aisley (7 mos), Graham (2), Carter (2), Levi (3 weeks).
It didn't take too long before we thought that this might not be the best idea. Ha! Carter licking Graham, Hudson screaming for Mommy. Poor Aisley was just dealing with the madness!

We tried to calm them down with some powdered donuts. Brilliant, huh?
Needless to say, that didn't work. Just got us some sugar-induced meltdowns!
But Levi did get a nice powdered sugar kiss on his forehead from his big brother. So sweet.
He was probably the most well behaved one of the bunch. Slept through the whole circus!

Easter Decorating

Corbin's Aunt Sharon sent Carter a little Easter surprise to decorate our house with!

It kept him busy for QUITE a while, which these days, is a huge blessing!
I tried to get him to put them in the right order, but he was more interested in just slapping them up there...
and tearing them apart!
Oh, and if you can't tell what it says, here is a better picture! I'm not sure what happened to the S.
Annnd of course a cute video:

Happy Easter! from Megan Crittenden on Vimeo.

I could listen to Carter say "Happy Easter" over and over. I think it sounds so cute! I'm not sure if Aunt Sharon reads the blog or not, but I thought I'd post it anyway!
