Well not much has changed for my children as far as dr. check-ups go! Both children checked out fine, Brooklynn further along motor-skills wise then her age and she handled her shot like a piece of cake!
Brooklynn weighed 25 something pounds and don't remember the height
As for Beau will our little stumpy was 38.5 pounds and a hair over 3 feet!
Translation...... 95% in weight btwn 25-50% in height!!! God love his little body:) I wouldn't have it any other way...
We got the whole take his height and double it and use that as a marker for his height give or take an inch... so there is hope because that would mean he'd be 6 feet like his daddy!! Beau lucked out because the office was out of the shot he was supposed to get so that'll happen sometime in June...
I just thank the Lord for very Healthy children and that other than routine check-ups and shot we don't have to visit that place!!

TIME
This afternoon both children took a nap at the same time and I was able to have about an hour to myself! I chose to go outside and layout on a towel and read my Bible Study book! I of course got distracted by all that surrounds our backyard and what is in it! One of my most favorite creatures is a lady bug! No matter what day it was or where I was as a child I could always find a lady bug and I would run it to my mama as if it were a prize! She always would ask me what it was about lady bugs that made me so drawn to them... Who knows the answers I would give her... Well guess what was crawling all around me the ENTIRE time I was outside!!! Yep a fellow lady bug:) I just started laughing... If I'm honest I will say I watched the lady bug constantly for 20-30+ minutes. It was amazing to see it go from the bottom of one piece of grass crawl to the top, go down it crawl over to the next piece of grass and repeat the process for an exhausting half hour! I was tired just watching HER:)
So I decided to sit up and began to do a little reflection... TIME was on my mind! I started to think that lady bug is ME... Rarely do ever I have a moment of NOTHING to do... The only quiet time I give myself is when I'm spending time with God, which of course is the best time EVER, but I couldn't remember the last time I just "layed down" and concentrated on nothing, or enjoyed something as simple as a lady bug. I do give myself enough credit to know that things I do that keep me busy are positive things that benefit my family or someone else. Being a mommy of two babies I have let guilt override the right to have real ME. I tell myself that time for me will come when they get older and that they are focus for now... For example, Levi and I went to Vegas in January and I was completely miserable because I felt guilty for leaving my kids and didn't enjoy much. I spent more time looking at saved photos on levi's cell then I probably did talking to Levi and thats not a joke...
Anyway, after writing this long thought I decided today that without the guilt feeling I was going to give myself an hour a week of "NOTHING TIME" I imagine most of it will just be spent thanking God for being such a blessed girl, but none the less won't worry about the kids, think of school, worry about ministries etc... just me with me!! and I am so excited about it I decided to write a novel on my blog:) ha ha

The Garden Picker Winner
I have to say that I had no idea what all we were getting into when planting this rather LARGE garden in our backyard! It is quite a bit of work, but sooo worth it! Thanks to the garden our family gets to spend quality time with Andy and Jennifer and their two kiddos and we have the BEST time together! Levi and Andy are more brothers than cousins and Jennifer and I are soul sisters:) I have yet to see 4 kids play so well together when ours are out in the garden being kids!! Levi and I love getting to sit on our porch and just watch the kids be in amazement of the vegetables growing! Yesterday, I was inside figh
ting a major headache brought on by my son knocking me out with his BIG head... Beau was DYING to go out as we had not picked the garden yet (yes it is DAILY now) anyway, I told beau to go outside and pick the biggest squash/zucchini he could fine... I had no idea he would take me literally... Here is a picture of what my son brought to me ten minutes later... Daddy was so proud and I was on the floor laughing!

Easter!
Our family had a really wonderful Easter this year! It's getting better and better as the kids get older and understand the meanings and festivities!! The Burns family all went up to the ranch Thursday - Saturday to celebrate Easter together! I think this trip is going down in the books for everyone! It was so much fun and enjoyable!! The kids had a blast coloring easter eggs and then having a night hunt using their flash lights and the traditional hunt the next morning!!!
On Sunday we went to church of course where we got to witness my best friend's husband and youngest son get baptized!! What a special day for Jason and Sammy!
Then my family all met up for a DELICIOUS brunch at Magnolia Grille after church and we all went to the Villine's house to color more easter eggs and do another easter egg hunt!!! Here are some pictures over the weekend!
