A Visit from the Grandparents

My parents came to visit last week during their spring break and we had so much fun. We love when they come stay! Bear enjoys it most of all because he is spoiled when Pops and Grandma Candy are around. He's one lucky little boy to have such loving and sweet grandparents.

Spring Creek BBQ...this boy was a mac 'n cheese eating machine

Lunch at...you guessed it....Red Lobster. 

Ready to go...trusty toothbrush and elephant in tow.

Houston Zoo!

Red pandas are the cutest animals on the planet. 

Naturally we had to see the bears! I think this confused our Bear a little bit.

The chimpanzees are always my favorite. We laughed because this one is a "Brittany chimp"...I love spending my afternoons in a hammock, too!

I spent Friday afternoon dress shopping with this gorgeous bride-to-be while my parents watched Bear. It was so nice having babysitters! And Elissa said "yes" to the dress :).

Hope you had a great weekend!

Lately

We've been pretty busy the last few weeks (as apparent by my lack of blogging) and Bear is growing like a chubby weed. It seems he says a new word (or animal noise) every day! We are loving watching him grow.


Our last couple weeks in pictures...

having fun at a playdate

planning our next vacation

getting his first hair cut...such a big boy!

Not real sure how I feel about these curls being gone :(.

Feeding the bears ducks.

This boy still sleeps best in his car seat. Even though it's beginning to look a bit small...

15 month check-up was a success! 96% in height, 87% in weight, 97% in head circumference. :)

Fun at Davis' 2nd birthday party!

Where's Bear? Peek-a-boo!

Swinging is Bear's new favorite. He can't get enough of it.

Deciding what to order at Freddy's. Mommy and Daddy's new favorite.

Once again, Bear eating the duck's bread. This is a real problem. Every time we toss food to the ducks, Bear has to get his fill as well. We get a good laugh!

Hope you had a great week! 

What Did Bear Wear?

Hi, friends! Hope you had a great weekend! And if you have kids, I hope you didn't wanna strangle Daylight Savings Time as much as we did.

But we survived. Actually we had a fun weekend and enjoyed the gorgeous weather, which we can't get enough of. SO excited for spring!

Here are a few of Bear's outfits from the past two weeks. We've been pretty laid back with his style since coming home from Hawaii....we're still "living aloha". :)

Hawaii Part 7: Bellows Beach

You can all breathe a sigh of relief; this is the LAST Hawaii post! It was honestly a struggle to narrow it down to 7 recaps...Oahu is so beautiful that it warrants a ridiculous amount of picture-taking. You have all been so sweet about our trip...thank you! Y'all are the best!

If we had to pick a favorite beach on Oahu that we visited, Z and I both agree that it'd be Bellows. It's on a military base so only military can use it, therefore there aren't many people around and it isn't overcrowded (unlike Waikiki). The water does this gorgeous ombre thing as it stretches infinitely into the sky, and the sand is so soft you wanna eat it. And Bear did just that.

Probably my favorite picture of the whole trip.

Shane and Scarlett put Bear in this chair and he just chilled there for the longest time. He loved it!

I love Bear's rascally expression in this picture. This was our last evening before heading to the airport...bittersweet!

Thank you again for all your sweet comments on our vacay! We had a blast and wish we could go back, like, tomorrow :).

The weather was glorious in Houston today and we had such a fun day. Hope yours was wonderful, too! Enjoy your Sunday!
