Happy Birthday Nanny!

Tonight we celebrated my Nanny's birthday. Hal enjoyed making cupcakes and singing Happy Birthday. We sure do love our Nanny!

The last picture (just Hal) was taken with all the lights out. I can't believe it was so clear! Don't ask me why we were taking pictures with the lights out but we were. ??

Thomas Ride - Are we having fun yet?

We took Hal to ride Thomas the Train this morning. He wasn't impressed. It really was a neat place, but he complained for the most part of the morning. His favorite part was the golf cart ride that took us from our car to the train. Thomas was nothing compared to that golf cart. He had a breakdown on the way back to the car because we couldn't ride the golf cart again. I thought David and I (and every other parent there) would have our own nervous breakdowns before we could get back in the car. Every toddler boy in town was there. I saw more tantrums this morning than I care to see in a year, and I can't tell you how many times I heard, "I'd hate for you to get a spanking in front of Thomas." David and I even said it a couple of times. The picture of him in the bottom right corner says it all.

Dinner at The Depot

Hal & Mama

I believe we are both about the same age in these pictures. I guess it is safe to say he looks like his dad!

No Peeking!

While we were hiding the Easter eggs for the 50th time, I looked over and saw that Hal was standing off to the side "hiding his eyes."

Easter with Family

Vicious Attack Dog

This is a picture of Hal and one of our dogs, Zoe. Zoe has a pretty bad reputation for being a little overprotective of our family. We haven't really allowed her to be around Hal that much because she has been so unpredictable. Anyway, Hal seems to have tamed her and she watches after him. I pity the person that comes near this kid!

Happy Easter

Easter Egg Hunt

We had such a great time at the Easter Egg Hunt. Our church (April) does such a great job with this event each year. We had a small devotional, an egg hunt, a visit from the Easter Bunny, and cupcakes. Hal had lots of fun hunting eggs with his buddies Jake and Olivia.

Gulf Shores

Hal at the Beach

The picture on our blog header is one that we took last year in Gulf Shores during Spring Break. We have enjoyed that picture so much. David's mom even had one of her students sketch the picture, and we have it hanging in our living room. We decided to take another one today. He has really grown since last year. He is also SO much easier to manage at the beach this year. He actually plays and entertains himself.

The fish weren't biting, but Hal was

David and I took Hal on his first fishing trip today. We told him that he could hold the "bait" while we walked over to another part of the lake. As we were walking I heard him say, "Mmmm this bait is good." Thank goodness it was only a turkey frank.
