A FIRST but many will follow

Garrett is just moving right along in the developmental stage, things he is doing as of now:

-Rolling Over (Back to Stomach and Stomach to Back)
-Rolling (Multiple times to get to something)
-Army Crawling
-Eating Cereal (w/ Banana added is his FAVORITE)
-Cooing
-Reaching and Grabbing Toys
-Laughing (He is very ticklish too!)
-Sitting up with support

Garrett is not a happy baby all the time, but when he is its so fun! He loves to be sang to and talked to. He loves to be smiled at and gives you a huge one back. He loves to wrestle with his big brother and thinks he is the coolest person in the world. He loves baths and loves to cuddle (ALL THE TIME).

Easter

As the boys get older I know I will become more hesitant to actually go on trips during every holiday. I would love to have some kind of stability for them on certain occasions as well as traditions. It seems that we are down in Wichita for each one of these and when we are home-bound we have no idea what to do. I am getting to the point that I would rather choose to be here and call this my home or move back and be able to experience traditions at home and still make it to the family gatherings. Thinking within the next few years this will all come together, whichever we decide to do. However, we did make it down for Easter and continued the tradition for us to stay with the Fair's (Richards Grandparents) the night before Easter so the boys could get up, enjoy their baskets and celebrate the day with the family. I think Aaden had the most fun out of all of us, the kiddos always do!

A Royal Wedding

I was able to take a trip to Wichita this past weekend and had an amazing time! More posts to come! I went down Thursday night so I could wake up in the early morning hours and watch the Royal Wedding with my wonderful sister-n-law. Not that I am up a million times throughout the night anyway, haha! It was no big deal to get up and enjoy a fairytale. There are certain things that will take place in our lifetime, they will include a mixture of great and awful events. A few things our kids will learn and hear about throughout their lives. Being able to experience some of them, in order to share it with them someday is pretty cool to think about. Plus, I am a romantic at heart and I love to watch and hear about love stories, even those about a Prince and Princess and know they do exist.
