My boys are growing up. Parker hit Brooks this week (shocker I know) and I said, "Brooks, are you ok, baby?" He said, "I'm not a baby, I a toddler, MOM!" He calls me "mom" (not mama), tells me I look "awesome" in new clothes, and tells me to wear my sunglasses so I don't get "wrinkles." Yep, Mama's boys are getting big!
They will both be starting PRESCHOOL this year! Chad and I were both a tad concerned at open house. "Does he know enough letters? Are they seriously learning addition? "Are those real 'words' on the board." "Crap, Parker must get potty trained." "Speaking of crap, we MUST see his GI!" Yikes, these boys have us going through all sorts of transitions!
January
In January, we started the celebration of Mardi Gras. Since this is the boys' favorite holiday, we celebrated for almost 3 months! This year we had our first Mardi Gras tree too. Brooks told Parker, "If you be good, Santa Clause bring us presents under our Mar-di Graw tree." During the month of January, Parker finally got a big boy bed. No more baby beds in this house! The boys also saw "snow" for the first time. It was really just ice but they were so excited!

BC who doesn't like to dress up like a cowboy?
February
February came and we had a lot more Mardi Gras celebrating to do!
Spanish Town ball with Amy & Xman! So fun! Can you guess the theme? Beards are a big deal down here these days.
Do you see how excited Brooksie is?! This boy LOVES parades!
So much fun with cousins!
At Brooks' request, we dressed alike. The things we do...
All paraded out! Time to go home.
March
March came and brought a lot of sickness for sweet Parker. A lot. His CVS episode lasted for 17 days. We didn't think it was ever going to end. Mema came to stay with us and helped so much. The woman is a saint! Parks has an appt with his GI again next week. He seems to have a bad episode once a month and throws up 1-2 days a week right now. Hoping we can find a new regimen for our baby boy. As always, he was a trooper through this whole nasty month.
Happy St Patrick's Day!
Their new thing... They like to "balance."
April
In April, we welcomed warm weather and Easter! It is so sweet hearing these boys sing and tell us all about Jesus. Both boys were in an Easter program at MDO. Brooks loved that stage! Parker cried. :( In April, we also learned that both boys got into our first choice for preschool next year. Can't wait to see these handsome fellas in uniforms!

They were so proud of their eggs.
And there's Parker... Crying in his teacher's lap.
