Apple Juice

The most amazing thing happened today! Bricen drank about 100 Mls of thickened apple juice from a straw cup! If memory serves me right, this is the first time this has happened since Feb 2013. Idk when it will happen again. I've learned  not to get too excited. :) It is a slow process and a roller coaster but for today we are doing the happy dance and praising Jesus.

I am so thankful we switched therapist, truly feel like that was God's doing. I think the new therapy and thickening the drink again are working in our favor. Oh yea, and after each sip he had to do a fake burp. What am I going to do with this boy!? 

Easter Dinner

We ate and then somehow got a softball game started. I'll let the pics speak for themselves. Bricen and Lyla also got their Easter baskets from Aunt Karen.

This little face cracks me up!

The flower bouquet Uncle Kelly made Lyla, which she promptly threw down haha but it was still sweet!

One of  my fav!

Always thinking, this one. 

Even this hottie joined us outside. She said no pictures...shh. 

Babe Ruth himself. 

Before we knew it we were all playing. 

These crack me up! It was hard work, showing Uncle Kelly how to pitch.

Somehow this kid had the energy for this when we got home. Had to drag him in for a bath.

Easter

I am especially thankful tonight. My heart is so full. If I was Aunt Karen I'd be shouting. I don't have any special reason to be other than those everyday treasures I mentioned in the previous post. Maybe it's Easter. I am just so thankful that the ultimate sacrifice was given so that we can be born again and yes we are so not worthy and fail him daily. Just thankful tonight.

It was sort of a Christmas miracle that I was off for Easter. It was nice to be in church with my family and then we went to a cookout at grandma's. She is getting to where she does not like to get out or leave the house much. :( I was going to plant the jelly beans and have the suckers there the next am but my husnand was a great big party pooper and I decided it'd draw ants so maybe next year when he would actually get it. Haha
Some prep...I said it before and I'll say it again, I do love my shirt.

Spoiled little man got a basket from Chelsi and Karen. I told him to suck it up because it won't be long she will have her own kiddos and then he'd be out of luck! haha

Uh oh random. The adventures of Craig and Bricen.

He loves his Easter goodies from Chelsi. 

Easter Bunny came to see Bricen. He noticed the goods on the table right away; 

Pause to try to put the glasses on Kita.

It's difficult to find allergy friendly candy. So the dollar store trinkets were our friend.

Oh my. Yep, he has my heart!

Little selfie session...idk if you've heard but selfies with your kids are totally acceptable. It's the lone selfies that are not acceptable at 32. 

I said something to my husband about how funny Bricen looked here and his response was look at you. turd 

I knew the Mickey watering pale was going to be a hit. ;)

Off to church we went. 

More pictures while the men hid the eggs.

These two pictures, top and bottom...nailed it. Perfection. ;0)

I don't remember this happening. But I cracked up at the next pic.

Good thing Lyla is tough. She is gonna need it with this rough housing boy of mine.

I just wanna cover his face in kisses. 

Finally, it was time!!

Yea, I'm obsessed. Our little southern belle. She barely knows I exist yet thinks Bricen hung the moon. I still just wanna squeeze her! haha

Awesome helpers. 

Yes, that's my handsome boy picking his nose. Knuckle deep, folks. Knuckle deep. 

More to come!
