1 Fish, 2 Fish...

Lots of fishing going on today at Coach and Honey's house!  We started out with Maggie.  She knew that I went with Coach and Hunter fishing on Thursday and so wanted to go every time we talked about it.  This morning Daddy and I took her while Hunter was gone with Coach getting his hair cut.

Maggie was so excited!

She wanted to do it all herself.  :) She didn't last to long. 

She decided to go back up to the house to drive the gator while Hunter wasn't around.  She was so cute!!  She had a hard time reaching the gas.

After lunch, Archer got some Honey time while Maggie napped and Coach, Daddy, Hunter and I went fishing, again. 

Hunter loved throwing back the fish!  His thumb was raw from all the fish and he told us he needed a band aid when we got home. :)  So cute!  He is all boys!! 

Then Coach taught him how to cast!!!  He got the fish below all by himself!!!  

Coach put a little spinner bait on his line and he casted it out, reeled it in and everything.  We were so proud and Hunter was so excited!!  All he wanted to do since he heard we were going to Coach's house was fish!  We did a lot of that today and hope to go out again tomorrow!  

Here he is showing you how to cast!

Insta-Friday :)

What a great week!!!  Lots of pictures of cute kids... normally our weeks aren't this much fun, but it's SPRING BREAK!  Yay!  So here ya go...

Monday kicked off Spring Break with a lunch date at the zoo with Daddy! 

Look who came out to say hello!  Albert!!  We have been checking each week to see if he was out yet and Monday he was!!  Happy Spring! 

While I was packing on Tuesday this little lady was playing with her babies!  Orange juice for a baby?!?!  Why not! :)  Tuesday afternoon we headed to Coach and Honey's house! 

And look who I got to sleep with. :)  

I came into the living room the next morning to find this...

What do you think?  Too close to the tv???  :)

Wednesday, Maggie got her first haircut!  Yay!  She did so good!  She just sat there and ate a lolly pop! 

We did lots of playing outside on Wednesday!  This little guy used the brush guard from his gator to hunt birds.  :)

Thursday was Zoo Day!  It was also Frank Buck's Birthday so there was a big celebration going on at the Gainesville zoo.  Hunter ran up to meet this guy first. 

Next up it was time to pet a snake.  Yuck!  Even Maggie touched it! 

After the zoo and while the kids were napping, I made their Saint Patty's Day shirts!  Don't forget to wear your green tomorrow!

We ended our Thursday with some fishin!  Hunter had been wanting to go fishing all week!  He was so excited!  We are headed back out tomorrow for more fishing fun! 

Today we stopped by this place for some lunch!  I LOVE Panera!!!  Why don't we have one of these in Abilene??  So good!  Yum! 

Then we got to see Grammy Great!  It was so good to see her and Aunt Marnie, Holly, Aunt Sarah, Kara and baby Zoe!  We had a great afternoon! 

After some family time we went to my favorite kids shop, Gymboree!  And picked up this cute dino hat for my Archer-man!  

Then they slept all the way home!!  Archer slept, too I just couldn't get him in the picture.  We are all worn out, but excited about what tomorrow is going to bring!  Daddy made it to Gainesville this evening, so we'll be fishin in the morning!  

Happy Saint Patrick's Day Everyone! 

Oh and you should join the fun and link up with Life Rearranged for Insta-Fridays!  It's fun! :)

He's back!!!!!!

Hunter would like to announce...

Albert is BACK!!!!!

Saying hello to Albert!

Daddy met us at the zoo for a picnic lunch to kick off our spring break!

Then we walked around to say hi to all the animals!  What a beautiful, warm day to spend at the zoo with the people we love!  Thanks for joining us, Daddy!!!

PS... we always go to the zoo during spring break.  Last year we went here.

Insta-Friday

so one of my most favorite blogs, Joy's Hope, does this insta-friday thing every friday.  it's really just a look into their life for that week.  so i thought that might be fun!  i am in love with my insta-gram app on my phone so... hey why not!!?!

well we started off the week in shorts... as you can see.  by the way, we are in desperate need for spring clothes!  like seriously... maggie has only 2 pairs of shorts!! 

loving picnics outside with this boy!  strawberry anyone??

happy, happy boy!

 we love mornings with this sweet boy!  waking up to some "bites" and a little pirates! (jake and the neverland pirates, that is)

the crew!  me looking rough, but loving being with these 4 kids!  (maggie is hiding behind sweet logan)  all are in their pj's!  so sweet! 

something tells me we not ready to potty train yet...

park in the morning... momma running with the big kids in the afternoon. (i forgot how much harder it is to push 2 big kids in the stroller and not just one sweet baby!  i think i burned 2x the calories!)

worn out from playing on his tummy time mat! 

after a good day at school, this sweet thing got to get a special drink from the sonic and got to pick out rapunzel to watch. yay maggie moe! 

play-doh anyone???  more time with sweet logan!  when he left today, maggie was so upset!  she loves her logan!

hooray for the weekend and spring break!!  

and if you need a blog to check out you should so go look at Joy's Hope!  

Windsday

i don't know what the weather is like where you are, but for the past 2 days it has been WINDY!!!!  like crazy wind!  wind that moved our trampoline in the back yard!  crazy.  it has been so windy, yesterday when i took maggie and hunter to school i thought maggie was going to be piglet in this picture...

it's still windy today, but that didn't stop us from going to the park. :)  we had such a great morning playing!  i think the wind must have scared everyone away because we were the only ones there for the first 30 minutes! crazy!!

hunter wanted to show you what he learned!

yep! he can swing by himself now!  i really think he could have done this sooner but he likes for me to push and i like it too!  he is growing so fast!! where did the time go???  i love this little boy so, so much!!!

maggie totally dressed herself today!  we were only going to the park, so why not?? hehe she is so funny!  she had fun "weing" (swinging)!  archer was asleep when we first got there, but did swing for a little bit before we left.

what a great morning!! :)

5 months!!!

can you believe this happy little guy is 5 months old??!  (yes, i know he actually turned 5 months on feb. 23rd... it's taken me a little more than a week to get this picture. :(  sorry!)

sweet archer!  happy 5 months old!  you are such a blessing to us! 

you love playing with your toes and eating them too!  you are happy most of the time!  

you can roll all the way over now, from back to tummy and tummy to back!  you can also sit up for a little bit.  we have to stay close when you are sitting because you might fall backwards. 

you like to sit at the table in your bumbo while we eat dinner as a family.  you love watching your maggie and hunter play and you can sleep through anything!  you also like playing with your hands like you are in this picture!

you are still not sleeping through the night. :(  but you usually only wake up once around 1:00.  you are sleeping in your dinosaur bed in maggie's room now.  you still like to be swaddled up but you are no longer sleeping in your bouncy chair!  yay! it's still your favorite chair to sit in.

your best friends are maggie, hunter and logan, but you also have lots of other cheerleader friends who love you, too!  you love going to cheerleading practice!  everyone talks to you and likes to hold you!

you love soft toys right now.  this dog is one of your favorites!  i can't tell you how much we love you, archer!  you are such a sweet little boy!  we are so blessed to have you!  love you my little man!
