More Funk

Another gross picture alert...we have had too many of these lately. I got a call from Bray's school on Tuesday that I needed to come pick him up because they thought he had pink eye. I could not believe how bad they looked in the six hours between when I dropped him off and when I came to get him. They weren't as bad as these pictures though. These were Tuesday night, when they were at their worst....so nasty. Poor little guy.
Sorry for all the yucky pictures lately. I have some very nice, cute pictures from our play-date with Paige to come soon....after I get back from Toronto.

Easter Sunday Best

Me and my baby, who isn't a baby anymore. I can not believe he will be four years old next month.
My handsome men.

Doing their famous wink and click.

All dressed up with Boo Boo and Papaw.


Braylon sure cleans up nice!

But the ornery still shines through!

Easter Morning

At Christmas when we saw Santa at the mall, he gave Braylon a picture to color and leave for him on Christmas Eve. Braylon was upset when he got up Christmas morning and Santa had "taken" his picture with him back to the North Pole. So for Easter, Bray colored this picture (its an Easter egg in case you could not tell) for the Easter Bunny, but I had to leave instructions for the Easter Bunny not to take the picture with him...just to look.

The loot!

The traditional (in my family at least) picture with your Easter basket.

Bray loved this giant egg-shaped lollipop. Here he is taking a big, giant pretend lick of it as soon as he got it out of his basket. He has been working on it since Easter and it looks exactly the same...It might still be around by next Easter.

Egg Hunt 2009





This last one was Braylon's exhausted face after finding all those Easter eggs.

Braylon and the Grandparents...what a smile!

Playing golf with Papaw.

Boo Boo had this beautiful tulip patch in full bloom.

Braylon and his Mama. I was much more excited about getting my picture taken with him than he was about getting his picture taken with me.

Camera Hater



This series of shots illustrates so well what you go through to get a picture when you have a boy.

Coloring Easter Eggs

This year we went down to see Boo Boo and Papaw for Easter. We had tons of fun coloring Easter eggs on Saturday morning.

Putting the eggs in to boil.

At first he was very proud of what he was creating. But it didn't take long for him to get bored with it this year. I think it may have been the fact that he had already colored eggs at school earlier in the week.

Once the eggs were finished, I started putting them in a basket and I accidentally dropped and cracked one. Braylon broke into tears like the world was over. I apologized and explained that it was just an accident. I had to give him a kiss and keep saying sorry...he almost sent me to time out. But luckily he did not make plans to sell me. That has been a recent thing. When he gets really upset about something (we have been past the hitting me phase for awhile now) but now his face turns red and he clinches his fists and shouts "I'm going to sell you, Mom!" So far, I am still around. Usually within a few minutes he comes around and hugs and kisses me and says "I won't really sell you...you are a good Mommy." It is almost sweet enough to make the earlier tantrum worth it...Almost!
