Easter weekend recap

Friday, I picked Noah up early from school to take him to his 2 year check up with his pediatrician. He weighed 28 lbs 6 oz and measured 34 3/4 in long. He had to get his finger pricked, but he didn’t even flinch! I was so surprised! I would rather get a shot than get my finger pricked! He was super excited about getting a bandaid on his finger. (Look at his farmer’s tan!)

He is in the 50th percentile for weight and height and is developmentally a genius right on track! 

Saturday, our church had our annual Easter egg hunt.

Noah thinks he is a professional egg hunter now. The age group where we hunted was birth-2 years old so he was the oldest in there. I literally had to make him stop gathering eggs so other kids could get some! Overachiever!

After our nap Saturday afternoon, we decided to tackle a couple of caches. We didn’t plan on going in the woods, but things just kind of happened that way. As we were leaving the woods, Brad literally stepped over this….

I think it was a baby snake, but still. A snake is a snake!! We sprinted back to the car and stayed out of the woods for the rest of the day!

Sunday, the Easter bunny dropped off some goodies for Noah!

The new train was his favorite thing.

Then we went to church to celebrate that Jesus is alive!

And we finished the day with an afternoon nap and spending time with our families!

Happy Easter!     

#64-Check!

#64 in my 101 in 1001 list was to go through Noah’s closet and put away the baby clothes. I like to stay on top of purging his closet so that wasn’t a huge project. But I feel a little more accomplished, none the less!

Checky check!

Along with cleaning around the house this past weekend, we also went to a birthday party for Noah’s friend on Saturday. It was golf themed and Noah was in heaven!

Lucky for Noah, he inherited some Indian genes from his Daddy so he just tans and tans. I wasn’t even in the sun as long as Noah was and I still got a little red!

And while Daddy went and played golf with the guys, I got to cuddle this little love bug!

This week, we are looking forward to dying Easter eggs, going on an egg hunt and celebrating our risen Savior! :) Have a Happy Easter friends!       

Geocaching fun!

Well my husband was in Honduras all last week, and surprisingly I did ok! No tears this time, go me! The day after he got back, I begged him to take me and Noah geocaching as my treat for surviving the week!

Noah LOVES ‘cashacashing’!

I also took plenty of pictures of our finds to document for my 101 in 1001 list!

I am not a professional collage maker, obviously! :)

We also went to see the Hunger Games!!

It was a great movie, but the book was better to me. I would still see it again though!

And one last picture of my baby boy…

Happy Tuesday to you! :)    

#62 – Check!

Number 62 on my 101 in 1001 list was to watch a new tv show. After much persuasion from my sister, she finally talked me into watching GCB.

I love Kristin Chenoweth, so I figured what the heck! And I LOVED it! It comes on Sunday nights after Desperate Housewives at 9pm. We all know that’s past my bedtime, but that’s what DVR is for, right? :)

I’ve lost all my wisdom

Hello friends! It’s good to be back amongst the living. Last Thursday I had my wisdom teeth removed. I expected the surgery and recovery to be a breeze, but it has totally kicked my butt.

The dentist that I’ve gone to since almost birth recently stopped practicing, so I moved to Brad’s dentist. This was in February. Well they took some xrays and saw this…

As you can see, (I feel like Vanna White), my wisdom teeth on the bottom were coming in sideways and the teeth on top were growing into the roots of other teeth! Not good. One of the bottom wisdom teeth had broken the skin and was starting to irritate me AND they were starting to shift the rest of my teeth on the bottom, so we decided that they needed to come out soon!

So we scheduled the surgery and out they came! The strangest part for me was when the surgeon was getting out the last tooth. I guess they cut back on the anesthesia since they were almost done because I could hear everything that was going on. And even though it wasn’t painful at all, I could feel what they were doing. It was a little creepy! Thursday was not a pretty day for me. After one sip of soup at dinner time, I officially lost my cookies. That’s SUPER fun after you’ve just had your mouth cut on.

When I met with my surgeon before the surgery to discuss everything, he told me that since I’m so small, I probably wouldn’t swell much. WELLLLLLLLLLL folks, I just happened to document my ever expanding elephantitus  just for you!

Friday…

Saturday…

Sunday…

No swelling at all, see? :) And Sunday morning I woke up with a HUGE bruise on the side of my face.

It’s actually gotten worse since I took that picture. AND this morning, I woke up with a black eye! What in the world???

But I brushed my teeth, showered and came to work today! Hopefully I will be able to make it through the day!    

The McMichael Funhouse

Our ABS (Adult Bible Study) class started a new Bible study on Monday nights, so me, Brad and my friend Natalie volunteered to watch everybody’s kiddos so they could attend the study! We only had three kids (Noah, Peyton and Alaina) but we had so much fun!

Baby Alaina loved Brad, so he got to be a baby hog for most of the night! He loved getting to feed and rock a baby again! I’m thinking we need a baby girl… ;)

At one point in the evening, the adults were in the living room and suddenly it got quiet in the playroom. I snuck in to find Noah and Peyton sitting together, reading! How sweet are they?

 

I can’t wait until next week so we can do it all over again!   

There’s an elephant in the room

We had a pretty low key weekend at our house, but Saturday we did get to go party at our friend’s house for Addison’s 4th birthday!

It was an Alabama themed party and all my people were having a fabulous time….until Big Al showed up. Ha!

I tried really hard to get Noah to sit on Big Al’s lap for a picture but he was freaking his FREAK! He said, “No Mommy! No elephants!! I go see the tractor outside.”

But luckily, there was cake and ice cream involved so he didn’t get too upset!

So instead of taking pictures with the elephant, I had a little photo shoot with my niece and nephews!

     They are pretty stinkin’ cute, even if they are mine!
