A Taste of Spring

We have had a few nice days here if you don't count the wind.
Chris was able to mow the lawn for the 1st time this year and trimmed the plants. I am so excited for warmer weather to stay and to spend more time outside.

Cousins

We went to KC last weekend to see Chris' brother Andy and his family!
It had been awhile since our neices, Tatum and Ashlyn have seen Nicholas. He was a lot bigger this time so they were able to hold him more often and for a longer amount of time! Here are a few of my favorite moments!
Ashlyn Feeding Nicholas and Tatum kissing his head! Awwwww!!!

Tatum playing with him and reading to him

Too Funny Not to Post

Last night I got home a little bit late but I told myself all day that I needed to go on a walk. Since it was nice out I decided to take Nicholas with me...and since you can't go on a walk without the dogs Chris took Payton and Hank and went with us.
I wanted to walk before it got dark so I threw some footed pants on Nicholas (hints his unmatched outfit) and off we went!
Nicholas had a lot of fun! When we got back I sat him in his chair and he put his arm on the arm of the chair.
I decided to take out the camera and capture this moment. After I sent the picture by text to some friends and family-I saw it!!!!! i know one other person did too (right Steph?)
