...Easter

... I am a Holiday person! I love them! I love to decorate for them, cook for them, eat with family on them! Poor Easter this year was the day before Clara's birthday. I was/am in denial about her turning 1 and didn't want to come to terms with it. So Easter got forgotten! Well kind of! I bought the girls dresses about and that.was. it! We didn't dye eyes, we didn't decorate, we didn't do ANY.THIN.G! Oh well there is always next year! We did eat with our families and did hunt for eggs! Olivia loved hunting for eggs. Aunt KK told her that she was going to be at the Egg hunt and that was all Olivia could talk about for days and days and days (she loves everyone more than boring 'ol mom). This is the 1 and only picture I got on Saturday ...

...pathetic I know. My battery died and I was to lazy to go charge it up! I wish I had a picture of the wonderful food, the look on Olivia's face when she would see an egg or Clara when she saw the Rice Krispie treat in her golden egg! But I don't so imagine it! My cousin got married later Saturday night and so I had 2 uncles, 1 Aunt and several cousins in town! It was great! We played games, ate, laughed, ate some more, made fun of Noah, laughed and ate cake! It was great!

Sunday I got the girls all gussied up for church! They looked so adorable!! I fell in love with their, dresses all over again! Church was great as usual. Clara was screaming fighting sleep, Olivia threw a fit during Primary when I would let her help me with Singing Time (oh yeah I am the Chorister! It's the best!), Clara barfed all.over.her.dress!! Nasty! She screamed during the last part of Primary, I started sweating like a pig because it was seriously 190 degrees in the church. All in all it was a GREAT and NORMAL church day! Nolan parents had us over for dinner. We ate till our buttons popped and then we kept eating! Olivia fell asleep on Grammy after throwing a fit, Clara was still fighting sleep and smelt like barf and it was raining outside. So after we woke Olivia from her little slumber, my awesome mother-in-law did an egg hunt with Olivia inside and she loved it! I didn't even bust my camera out once on Sunday afternoon! I am so lame! But here are my girls before church!

Aren't they so cute!

Happy Easter!

... Lazy & Busy

... Summer stayed a little bit longer this year and we soaked up every last bit! We didn't take many pictures, but here are a few things that we did capture...

... Did a little window/door switcheroo and construction

( Window went into the Living Room)

(French Doors went to the Dining Room)

(the aftermath)

... We camped in the beautiful mountains (not enough)

... Played in mud puddles after a little rain shower

... Dressed up silly

... Was Dad's side kick every Saturday (and still is!)

... Learned to eat new foods & scoot around

... Kissed on these cute faces DAILY!

...We will try to update a little more often, but can't make any promises

...Olivia's Hairy Problem

... Soon after Clara was born I noticed that Olivia's hair was thinning on top. I would brush her hair and most of it would end up on my lap. So all summer long I have had to plaster her hair down while we patiently waited for more of it to come in. Here is a few pictures to show you what I mean.

...What I know

...NOT ALOT!

...I am turning 25 in a exactly a week and it's not bothering me near as bad as I thought it would?! (don't worry about sending me presents!)

...I am having my Gallbladder surgery on Monday and I am scared to death!

...Afternoon drives with my hubby (while Sweet Pea is sleeping) is something that I treasure!

...Wrangling 3 kiddos in Walmart is Perfectly insane!(Amanda you are crazy)

...Sweet Pea is growing up and I can't stop it,

her dad can't wait for her to start school (he is crazy sometimes)

...I really love my calling

I almost don't want to say it out loud in fear of getting released

...Being a mom isn't always the easiest thing

some days are better than others!

...On-line shopping is addictive!

"Hi, My name is Megan and I am addicted to online shopping"

...Ice Cream & Costa Vida can make you gain weight and gain it FAST!

thats for you Shanna!

...I don't sweat I rain!

I hate sweating...it's gross, but it's in my genes

...I am perfectly happy with my life!

most days!

...Thats all I know for now folks! What do you "know"?

...4th of July & Camping

...Our Holiday weekend was not long enough for sure! I could always spend one more day in the mountains. I love the mountains! Sweet Pea got super spoiled (and so did mom & dad) by Aunt Rachelle, Grandma & Grandpa Stewart. They were always willing to take her for walks so that we could have moments of relaxation. She loved it! What girl doesn't like being the center of attention?We pigged out on delicious food, played cards and took naps! What more could you ask for?
I love the 4th of July! We opted not to go watch fireworks, because Sweet Pea gets scared easily and she was pooped! Maybe next year?!

We hope that everyone else had a Great Independence Day too!

...A Big Texas Weekend

...We had a whirl wind of a weekend! It was so much fun and we were glad to get out of town for a few days. Houston was beautiful, a little (ok a lot) on the humid side, but it was nice. Flying with Sweet Pea was a piece of cake. She was so good, I didn't even have to drug her!

...We flew in early on Friday morning and had enough time before the Dinner, so we drove down to Galveston. It was exactly what I pictured the south looking like. We could still see some of the effects of the Hurricane on the houses. I have never seen so many cool buildings & houses. I have always wanted a beach house and after seeing Galveston...I still want a beach house!

Sweet Pea loved the ocean! She loved the sand, the shells, the waves and crawling around & eating sand!
(no fat jokes please...why didn't you tell me I have a double chin)

Alecia & Dennis invited us to the Wedding Rehearsal & Dinner (which was so nice of them). Sweet Pea was sleeping during the Wedding Rehearsal so Nolan sat in the car with her while I went inside the church and watched. Chance (another friend from High School) was there and we had such a good time watching (ok really talking the whole time), and reminiscing about the good 'ol days! We did some pretty funny things!

(yes Chance, I put this on my blog! I told you I would!)

Dinner was de-lici-ous, some Good Texas BBQ of course! YUMMM!!!
Chance was nice enough to take Sweet Pea for a little bit at dinner and let Nolan & I have some alone time! He kept doing that all weekend! Thanks Chance! We love Uncle Chance!Erica shared with everyone her story. We are so glad for her safe return, and are so glad that she was there for the special event!

The wedding was beautiful! Alecia looked stunning! The ceremony was wonderful and they had good music! Loved the guitar player! After the ceremony, before the reception Nolan & I found Sonic and grabbed a ice cold Dr. Pepper! I love America's Drive In!

Mr. & Mrs. Doty

(he took dance lessons behind her back! Way to go John!)
The reception was so pretty. I loved the color combination of Turquoise & Brown, it was very traditional and made me think of home! The food was de-lici-ous and it was great to see the happy couple & their happy families! We were able to snap a picture with the beautiful bride before we had to leave. Gave hugs & kisses and were off to put Sweet Pea to bed!

Thank You John & Ellane for a wonderful party! We love you!

...We got back to our Hotel to find the power out! OH GREAT!
No A/C + Houston humidity + a tired Sweet Pea = NO FUN!

We made the best of it though...
Thank You Mr. Marriott for providing snacks, a coke and a comfortable chair while we were waiting! It was very nice of you!

...We did manage to take Sweet Pea swimming. She loved splashing in the water and floating around!

We had such a fun weekend! We are glad to be home and spend a few nights in our own bed...that is until the next trip...Camping for the 4th! What could be better?
