Elynn is 1 MONTH old!

My sweet little "newborn" is a MONTH OLD, already!! Time sure has gone so fast with this little new one. I remember when I had Ezra, I would think "are we still in this newborn stage??" Now, with Elynn, her newborn diapers are getting a little snug and her newborn clothes will only fit one last time. Makes me so sad thinking about it. I am trying to soak up every minute I can of her being little and new. She still LOVES to snuggle up really close and pull her legs in to get as small as she can. She still sleeps for most of the day, but is starting to have some good "awake" times. When she is awake, she is so calm! She will just look around and take everything in, and believe me, there is A LOT to take in between Ezra and Emersyn!! She is starting to really look at you and follow you with her eyes. She has even smiled a handful of times when I have been talking to her (not a consistent thing, but I count it as smiling at me!).

her cheeks are filling out like her daddy and brother!

here is a little smile!

This was her bath time. She loves it! Can you see her curly hair!?!

We love her and are really looking forward to the next stage to come.

Elynn's photo shoot

Here are a couple of pictures of Elynn's newborn photo shoot. My great and talented friend, Natasha, took the pictures. She is the one that did Ezra and Emersyn's pictures, too. She did such an AWESOME job!! I love them. I thought I would post some that she put on her page. She is going to email the rest of them to me soon.
I can't believe she is already 4 WEEKS today!! Where has the time gone??

Girly Rooms!

I am in the midst of doing my little girls rooms (with help from my friend, Ashleigh)!! I had NOTHING for Elynn's room (since we didn't know who she would be) and  in Emersyn's room, I wanted to paint stripes. I still haven't completed Emersyn's room, but I have definitely started. I want to make it GIRLY!! I didn't want to hang anything up in her room until we painted the stripes, so we have painted stripes and now, slowly but surely her room is coming together. Elynn's room is just about complete! I am not doing a whole lot of decorating in her room since I am thinking that I will put Emersyn and Elynn in the same room once they are a little older. However, her room looks super cute and I LOVE IT!!

Ezra's room is totally complete and so BOY! It looks great! I will take pics of his room and post them too. His room has been done for a while since we already had stuff for his BIG BOY room.

Can't see how cute her letters really are, but they are SO CUTE!

I thought hers were cute too, but i bedazzled them a little!

Two Videos

Here is a video of Ezra hitting the golf ball and one of Ezra sliding down the hill during the ice/snow day.

Golf

So, Brent has taken Ezra with him to the driving range a few times to hit golf balls and hang out. Ezra really likes it and can actually hit the ball fairly well. We ended up getting him a little driver and a golf glove. Oh man, is the boy in love or what!?! He wants to go all the time and he "practices" hitting the ball in the backyard. Good thing we have a big back yard!! Here are some cute pictures of him hitting it.

Oh my goodness!!! SO CUTE!

and my cute, sweet Emmy girl!

Valentine's Day

Happy Valentine's Day! We celebrated with some gifts and heart cookies that the kids could color. Really fun! Ezra got Dr. Evil Porkchop (he has been wanting this for so long) and Emersyn got a Mini Mouse shirt (she loves mini)! Ezra had his Valentine party at school that Emersyn, Elynn and I were able to go to. They read books, made picture frames and passed out Valentine cards. It was a cute party. Brent and I celebrated Valentine's last friday with a DATE NIGHT!! Elynn tagged along and was the perfect little girl. We went to Bin 555 and had wine and tappas. It was SO NICE to go out just US! The ladies from my Mentoring Moms group watched all the kids for FREE so that we could enjoy time with our Hubby's. Such sweet ladies. LOVE THEM and LOVE Mentoring Moms!

Let's Rodeo, San Antonio!

Cutest Cowboy!!

On Sunday, we went to the Rodeo for the day with our good friends, the Garrison's. We had a lot of fun!! It was the perfect day for it. We got to see horses, pig races, dog competitions, a petting zoo, go on a pony ride, have rodeo food and ice cream!! Ezra and Emersyn LOVED it! I was so glad we went. I hung out with Elynn while Brent did pony rides and the petting zoo with the kids. Other than that, Elynn stayed bundled up in the stroller while we got to do everything else. Ezra loved watching the dogs compete. They do this event where sheep dogs have to herd three lambs around cones, through a fence and into a pen all by listening to their master's command. Pretty neat to watch. He had so much fun watching the Potbelly Pigs race. Emersyn loved the petting the horses and the petting zoo. It was a great day!
