Easter Decorations
The Wednesday before Easter, Andrew and I did a few minutes of "crafts" to get decorated for the Easter Holiday...
Reading stories...
I snapped this pic of David reading to Alyssa the other night...they both look pretty into the book about "Cleo the Cow" :)
The Sillies...again!
It's so sweet to watch these two kiddos together! They sure do love each other :)
Andrew LOVES to hold his sister!
They bring sooo much laughter into our household! :)

Dirt Piles & 4 Year Old Boys
So we are finally getting some work done on the creek side of the house (we're having a retaining wall built and the yard leveled out to give Andrew and soon, Alyssa, more room to play)...
The dump truck brought a couple loads of dirt by today. The first load, Andrew wanted to play in soooo badly. We were supposed to be leaving for HEB but David said it would be cruel to not let him play in the dirt pile for awhile first....
He climbed, slid and dug in that dirt until he was brown. He had a BLAST! And he minded well and showered, dressed and joined me & Alyssa for a trip to HEB... (which I'm sure was not NEAR as fun as playing in the mudpiles!) :)

AWANA Cubbie Award Night
On April 17th, our Andrew was presented an award for doing such a great job in his AWANA Cubbie class and memorizing so many verses!
While we were waiting for Andrew to put on his shoes, I had to get a picture with my girl!
Proud Mommy & her two beautiful kids!
YAY! Andrew! We are soooo proud of you and the great job you did memorizing your verses!!!

Andrews 4 Year Check Up
My baby boy is growing up WAAAAY too fast! He had his 4 year checkup on 04-13-2011.
He is now 3' 8" tall and weighs 44.5 lbs!
He is off charts for height and our doctor remarked at how SMART Andrew is. He told me, "Some folks think there kid is advanced... and they aren't really... yours... WOW... he's going to be tough to keep up with!" He forewarned us that Andrew would be really bored in school, so that we need to be prepared for that. David and I have figured for years that Andrew would outsmart us by the time he was 10... we may have been right... haha!
My poor baby boy had to get 4 shots and now he is caught up on his immunizations. He won't need any more until he is 12. The nurse assured me that time would fly by and he'd be 12 before I knew it. (As if I needed another reminder of how quickly my baby boy is growing up!)
Andrew, you are such a Blessing to us! We can't believe how quickly you are growing up! You ARE so smart, witty and funny! You love superheroes and dancing silly and figuring out how stuff works. You like to talk and count in Spanish and have picked up a few french words, too! We are always amazed by you! We love you!
