A few stories

Aaaahhhh, my boys...these kids crack me up. Charley is such a busy body. He loves drawing with his chalk and his never ending collection of cars. Izyk is talking so much more and it is the cutest thing. He is coming up on his 2 year birthday in July and he is increasingly interested in the toilet and not just flushing it for no reason. We are baby stepping through potty training as we had done with Charley. No pressure. Myles...thumb sucker. Hard core. Ha! As hubs would tell you, I worry about getting my kids stuck on something and here we are. He loves his thumb. I'm okay with that. I busted out our awesome BabyLegs. We love these things. Izyk will be soon wearing them too while he learns to use the potty. They're like pants except you don't have to remove them when a diaper change is needed OR a potty break. Woot!! (In case you are wondering where we bought these gems...Mom4Life. Awesome products made by awesome Mamas!!).

We bought a new dishwasher...finally. I didn't want to but we needed to. I absolutely love it. It's a Bosch.My parents have a Bosch and it is SO quiet. I didn't think an appliance could be this quiet. Have you ever had a little boy ask to go home from the park? I never thought it'd be possible! Poor Charley-man beefed it while running laps. Scratched up his knee. I just think he really wanted a batman bandaid.

And Izyk had to have his turn...

Gravity works. We bought the boys sunglasses. So classy.

Charley starts swim lessons in June. I think we are more excited than he is! Thanks to Jessica Jordan for accepting rice crispy treats as payment for babysitting while Hubs and I went on an afternoon date. We went and saw Avengers in Imax 3D. Never again. I'm not a fan of 3D...STILL not a fan of 3D and making it even bigger did not help. AWESOME movie though. Let my inner nerd out. Other than that...it's the usual chaos around here. Oh, Natalie Westbrook makes the best chocolate Kahlua cake ever.

Easter

It has been a long month. And by long I suppose I mean busy. Busy is a good thing...sometimes. Easter was fabulous. We spent the day up in Tennessee with a friend's family. We had lots of fun. The kids got spoiled with crafts, candy, and attention. They live on this HUGE lot...almost 100 acres and they have COWS! Charley could've stayed on the four-wheelers ALL DAY LONG and had been content. That kid jumped at every chance to ride that thing. Izyk rode them once and then he was good. He pretty much played inside most of the time. Happily played...by himself. Antii-social, what? Everyone crashed as soon as we were on our way home.
