Easter Egg Hunt!
Easter Sunday was yucky and cold here so we ended up having the Easter egg hunt in our living room. Beanie didn't mind, though. He loved it! He was so excited. It didn't take him long to figure out how to find the eggs. He is such a joy!

Happy Easter!
Yesterday was Easter and we had a very busy day! We went to church in the park, had an Easter Egg hunt, had a visit from the Easter Bunny and enjoyed each other's company :)
Happy Easter!!

Grandma's Lasagna!
Last weekend, I decided to make one of my grandma's recipes because I was missing her. I chose lasagna and it was quite a hit with my boys!
Of course Dustin finished the whole casserole dish within a 24 hour period...with the help of little Bean of course :)
Xavier isn't really into past (probably due to the fact that it is horrible for you and we only recently introduced the healthiest kind..) but he loved the lasagna filling! I made a little extra and kept it seperate from the lasagna and he ate it all!
Miss you grams <3

Beanie's Boo Boo :(
This weekend, Xavier was running around the house like the crazy toddler that he is when he ran into our bedroom and slammed the door HARD. This sent one of the pictures on our wall flying. Unfortunately, it flew right into him. It missed his eye by literally a centimeter. We were so lucky it wasn't worse!
After calming him down, Dustin got the medical supplies and treated it accordingly. Needless to say, the big heavy picture is no longer hanging on the wall...
It resulted in a big swollen, black eye. I am sure there will be a scar as well. It definitely looked worse before it got better. He still has the black eye but the scab is now gone so it doesn't look quite as bad. Here's hoping it heals up soon!

Beanie the Daredevil!
Our son is afraid of nothing! He gets crazier and crazier by the day. Dustin and I have taken some videos of him being especially reckless lately and thought we would share :)
This first video is one of Xavier's FAVORITE things to do! We mentioned before that we blow the air mattress up for him to sleep on at night and sometimes we have a little fun on it first :) Xavier loves to "stunt" with me...but will not let Dustin even try! Apparently he thinks mama is stronger than daddy ;)
This is a video of Bean and Bryar running around like crazy people and sliding:
This is Xavier riding a four wheeler...by himself...at the age of one... He actually did a lot better than this but this is all I caught on video.
Here he is again! Our one year old who likes to play on equipment designed for 7 year olds!
He has such an advernturous spirit <3

Spring Break in Indiana :)
So two weeks ago I was on Spring Break from school. The original plan was for my parents to come down here and take Xavier and I to Gulf Shores where we often vacationed when I was little. After speaking with my sisters, however, they all decided they would rather the two of us come to them. Dustin obviously couldn't take this time off work so we reluctantly went without him. My parents got us a VERY last minute flight out of Tallahassee (the smallest airport ever...) and it was decided.
Because Tallahassee is only a Regional airport, not an international one, they don't have direct flights to Indianapolis. Because of this, we were scheduled to fly to Charlotte and then out to Indy. Sunday afternoon as I was doing some last minute cleaning and packing when my phone rang to let me know that the plane had been delayed. This happened two more times and by the third time, I knew there would not be enough time to make our connection in Charlotte. I got on the phone with the airline and rescheduled a flight out of Charlotte that would put us in Indy in the middle of the night. It wasn't ideal but I didn't have any other choice. Dustin reluctantly dropped us off at the airport and we hugged and kissed him like we wouldn't see him for a week.
Xavier and I got through baggage and security and were heading to the gate when we got another call. Our flight had been delayed again. Awesome. We waited and waited until our flight time began to approach. After sitting at the airport for 2.5 hours, my phone rang one last time. The flight to Charlotte had been canceled. We got in line and spoke with the representative about next steps. We opted for an early morning flight as the likelihood of getting to indy that day was slim. I called Dust and he came to get us. It was annoying but also nice to get an unplanned night at home with Dust :)
The next morning we flew out bright and early. No problems and we even had great seats. Because it was the redeye, Xavier slept the whole first flight. We went through Atlanta (which is usually the BIGGEST pain) but it was easy! We hopped off the plane and had just enough time for a diaper change and juice break and got right on the next plane. This was an easy flight too! He was totally into looking out the window and watching Mickey Mouse on the iPad. He did amazing and was complemented by everyone who walked by!
Once we got off the plane, my dad greeted us in baggage claim. It was so nice to see him and Xavier reached out for him! He remembered him! :) It was such a special moment! Once we got back to the car, Xavier recognized my mom too and we had a great breakfast at Cracker Barrel in Plainfield.
The rest of the week was totally low key. So low key that I spent the whole week in yoga pants and tee-shirts :) It was nice. We spent time with Dust's family and mine. We saws aunts and cousins and grandparents. It was nice. Rather than write a novel for the week, I thought I would share the pics and use the captions to tell the story. Here are some pictures of Beanie in Indiana for Spring Break 2014.
P.S. This was his 8th trip to Indiana. Can you believe it?!
