Back in 2013 when Matt and I went to San Antonio for our baby moon, we ate at The Guenther House for breakfast on the recommendation from multiple people. It was so good that we made it a top priority to eat there again on this trip!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ7cJ2NYuERfg-7sbhu8HKqlU04I0ecxJ9MuSwEC7R3W6AgRu3DuuT03-bX6sXNlVRtlEVE5Hj7xC43RcEYX3t1uheAgHaBUQGrv4NYxe2CKwWOI0iVCpKrOj4rUq-8Pb7jxqcjQ/s1600/IMG_3254.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ7cJ2NYuERfg-7sbhu8HKqlU04I0ecxJ9MuSwEC7R3W6AgRu3DuuT03-bX6sXNlVRtlEVE5Hj7xC43RcEYX3t1uheAgHaBUQGrv4NYxe2CKwWOI0iVCpKrOj4rUq-8Pb7jxqcjQ/s640/IMG_3254.jpg" width="478" /></a></div>

Matt and I ordered the exact same thing we got last time. I got the biscuits and sausage gravy with fruit and a side of bacon. Matt got the banana waffle. Both were just as good as we remembered them to be. The boys split a short stack and some eggs and bacon. </div>

Our next stop was the Alamo. I showed Nash this picture yesterday, and even after a week since seeing it, he said "It's da -Aaa-Mo." Pretty impressive for a two year old!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimHo4muHLwa57fha9olcy62mJJn9IC7DPoIzQR0QCF2bMz8s8ipJ353TsaRB_q4qsL61lIsFuz8JgmlKZQX1Z1fzUXWnh8dp8B9el_mur5mRElm4v5dEhE6us8uZQoeYOjb2op3w/s1600/IMG_3277.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimHo4muHLwa57fha9olcy62mJJn9IC7DPoIzQR0QCF2bMz8s8ipJ353TsaRB_q4qsL61lIsFuz8JgmlKZQX1Z1fzUXWnh8dp8B9el_mur5mRElm4v5dEhE6us8uZQoeYOjb2op3w/s640/IMG_3277.JPG" width="558" /></a></div>

While we were there we let Pearson get a Texas fact book from the gift shop. I feel like a mean Mom for not getting Nash anything, but he didn't really care. </div>

After we had seen the Alamo, we hopped on a boat for a River Tour. Once again, Pearson was our little tour guide, taking us all over the Riverwalk.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-UZxaBxdAsAo-HldvB7TzqGyhW-3wJO-82VvbHVMLT74RV8mKtv197Oz_IE-pdWzVBVracogIFjndGNABWjuJ3gtZdmzaCOODxdmJqdqc71019P4ZuNrWPoGEFE-pTtwZNHrRwA/s1600/IMG_3266.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-UZxaBxdAsAo-HldvB7TzqGyhW-3wJO-82VvbHVMLT74RV8mKtv197Oz_IE-pdWzVBVracogIFjndGNABWjuJ3gtZdmzaCOODxdmJqdqc71019P4ZuNrWPoGEFE-pTtwZNHrRwA/s640/IMG_3266.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>

Nash loved riding on the boat and love seeing all the little ducks swim by us. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRzlz8jyuEnNqE-7dt5C3b6EQnafbDfeYC657tCrCPdAVxPdaYnnnK0-Zaqkip4c3YfkOuEij6PGgp9kJm_7DT7I1C1hLR_E6uWHeBLDdif_JO_h70VzZlFUSA1HrMxb4EzMm8bQ/s1600/IMG_3268.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRzlz8jyuEnNqE-7dt5C3b6EQnafbDfeYC657tCrCPdAVxPdaYnnnK0-Zaqkip4c3YfkOuEij6PGgp9kJm_7DT7I1C1hLR_E6uWHeBLDdif_JO_h70VzZlFUSA1HrMxb4EzMm8bQ/s640/IMG_3268.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>

Two of my favorite things on the River Tour were this crazy tree growing out of a building…..</div>

Even though Matt and I had already done this River Tour, it was fun to do it again and hear all the interesting facts about San Antonio and the Riverwalk. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYmc0fbCLcCVXgOtpaBhqnd0kC06Mxx6ermFPDpb7kkeii0EU0ziMVI5xf6gSrddwbVIPAZUvjDcrw3mk3gPToKnZPqweZDiAF39ukFRlAwTg27vpjdn5BCCSveZP3Iz0kpPRJrA/s1600/IMG_3287.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYmc0fbCLcCVXgOtpaBhqnd0kC06Mxx6ermFPDpb7kkeii0EU0ziMVI5xf6gSrddwbVIPAZUvjDcrw3mk3gPToKnZPqweZDiAF39ukFRlAwTg27vpjdn5BCCSveZP3Iz0kpPRJrA/s640/IMG_3287.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>

We didn't do much else on the Riverwalk, because it was super humid down there. </div>

We had to snap a quick picture though to show us on the Riverwalk. I wish we would have walked down a little more and gotten in a prettier area. </div>

I thought it was fun to see me and Matt over the last 7 years on the Riverwalk. Picture #1 was us on our 1st anniversary trip in 2009 without kids. Picture #2 was us on our Babymoon. Pearson (2.5) was in Sherman with Grammy & Grandaddy and I was about 7 or 8 months pregnant with Nash. Picture #3 is us with our two little munchkins in tow. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM7pWHlvcqlrk9lhKK_bC3hPGakdufsiZw0HEtBymwTKoNPi9-8w9JnGboeAwKKfKIXh1iZlMwJuUk8CApABgfwK6ZvT6zWo9hSfOVFymxrqwXxhDVzEzkSjqqu48zW2ufRb-zng/s1600/IMG_3300.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM7pWHlvcqlrk9lhKK_bC3hPGakdufsiZw0HEtBymwTKoNPi9-8w9JnGboeAwKKfKIXh1iZlMwJuUk8CApABgfwK6ZvT6zWo9hSfOVFymxrqwXxhDVzEzkSjqqu48zW2ufRb-zng/s640/IMG_3300.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

We ate BBQ for lunch at a place I can't even remember the name of. It was nothing special. Matt and I have come to the realization that we are spoiled to Stanley's BBQ in Tyler. There is just no better BBQ than Stanley's. Nash got a quick snooze in the hotel when we got back, then we were off to SeaWorld again for an afternoon in the water. </div>

When we were at SeaWorld on Monday, Nash really took notice of the roller coasters. He deemed them "Roasters" though. Why not? It's a perfect combination of the word roller and coaster! He was thrilled when he finally got to ride a "roaster"!!</div>

Matt and Pearson rode a spinny ride together that I refused to go on because I don't do rides that spin. I forgot to get a picture of them though. Our last ride of the afternoon was a Ferris Wheel type ride. The boys loved how high we got. We could see the entire Bay of Play from the very top!!</div>

Once again, our little tour guide of the zoo. I will say my only complaint about this zoo was that it wasn't very easy to maneuver. There wasn''t really an obvious path to take. When we got back to the hotel we realized we missed a few exhibits including the hippos. We were sad we missed them because we don't have hippos at the Caldwell Zoo. </div>

I totally lucked out with our SeaWorld tickets. If I paid regular price (which I thought I was going to have to) it was going to cost us $55 a person for one day of SeaWorld. It would be $165 total since Nash is free. Right before I bought my tickets, my Mom pointed out a Groupon for SeaWorld to me. It was $35 a person, I had a $5 off coupon and I got $6 back on Ebates. So after all the discounts we paid $94 for our SeaWorld passes. But it gets even better…..they were multi-day passes. They were good for 14 consecutive days! We only used them for 2 days though. It was such an awesome deal!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The hotel we stayed at saved us a little extra money too. Parking is $20 a day at SeaWorld and we got to bypass that by riding the free shuttle from our hotel. We were the only ones on our shuttle to SeaWorld on Monday! </div>

The boys were pretty impressed that the bus had seat belts. It made this Momma happy too since we didn't have our car seats. We really were close to SeaWorld, but it just made me feel better that they had some form of safety belt on. </div>

They were so soaked that Matt had to ring out his socks. I tried to get them to wait until Wednesday (our wet day at SeaWorld), but he insisted they wouldn't get that wet. I bet it did feel pretty good though, because it was SO humid while we were there. </div>

Since Nash and I didn't cool off in the water, we were thankful that our next show was an indoor show. </div>

It was called "Pets Ahoy". Matt and I didn't go to it when we went to SeaWorld 7 years ago, but we decided to go this time because Nash loves all animals. He really loved this show. It was pretty cute and pretty impressive how well the rescue animals were trained. </div>

The hotel shuttle picked us up, the big boys got a quick shower and we darted out for dinner. We were starving. We ate at a little mexican restaurant called Mama Margie's. It was kind of like a Taco Cabana. </div>

Well, I'm back again for a monthly meal plan. I loved it when I did it in April, but May I never got around to making my meal plan for May. Once a week or so had passed it didn't seem worth it especially since we were out of town or without kids the last two weeks of May. So here we are with my June meal plan. I'm sure there will be some changes as it's summer and our schedules are kind of up in the air, but at least I have a plan if we are home!! And I'm going to have to change my logo since it's obviously not Monday!!</div>

Last week we took our first family vacation to San Antonio. We loaded the car up Saturday night so we would be all ready to go after church. We were able to drive a few hours before having to stop for lunch. </div>

When driving through lots of small towns in Texas, there aren't to many option of places to eat. We settle on Dairy Queen and it made for some very happy boys since they both got a dessert with their kids meal. </div>

Dinner was our first priority after getting all unpacked. We were all starving. We ate at a restaurant near our hotel called Viola's Ventanas. The fajitas were good, but nothing special. Matt and I both loved our drink selections though. Nash wanted a sip of my "slushy" so bad!!</div>

I'd like to say our first night in the hotel went well, but it didn't. We all slept terrible. First of all, we put the boys down too early. It was past their normal bedtime, but they just weren't tired. They were too excited about all the fun we had planned and just couldn't settle down being in a new place. They finally crashed about 9:00. The only way we could get them to fall asleep was to lay down and fall asleep with them. One of the many times I woke up in the night, I couldn't believe it was only 3:00 because I felt like I had enough sleep for the night. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The best part of the night was when Pearson woke up and walking into Nash's bed. When I asked him what he was doing, he half asleep said,"I don't know and went back to his bed." We all survived the night even with many wake ups. Thankfully that was our only crummy night of sleep on the trip!!</div>

We started off the year going two days a week at Oak Tree, but ended up just going one day a week at Green Acres. Next year we are bumping all the way up to three days a week at Kid's Kaleidoscope.

Wow! This weekend was so busy!!! We seriously barely had time to sit down and breathe. In fact that's part of the reason I am just now blogging about our weekend. It was rainy yesterday so we took that as a sign to stay at home and rest all day!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our busy weekend all started Thursday evening when Matt and I had a Trinity Clinic Awards Dinner at Hollytree Country Club. We got a babysitter and enjoyed a night out to ourselves. Sadly, I didn't get a single picture of us. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday during the day, the boys and I took a trip to Sam's! We love going to Sam's to get samples and have pizza for lunch while I get some grocery shopping done. It's the only time I go to the grocery store with them now. </div>

Friday evening after dinner, a friend of ours helped us up pick up some furniture I bought off of a Facebook Garage Sale Site. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I picked up this awesome Pottery Barn Sleeper Sofa for only $300. It's all washable so it's perfect for us. </div>

This picture makes the room look totally empty but it's very very deceiving. The other walls are full of toys!! It's in our playroom. It's actually a really big 5th bedroom in our house that we use as a playroom. I've been wanting a couch since we moved in, but just couldn't find what I wanted in my $300 price range. I refused to pay anymore than that for a couch that was going to used constantly by my boys. I wasn't originally looking for a sleeper sofa, but it was just a total bonus that this one was. In fact, we will be putting it to use this week. Pearson will be sleeping on it this week when my parents and grandma come in town. Now I can't get wait to get to decorating this space!! That big blank wall is just screaming "wall collage"!!!</div>

We also got a great deal on a lift chair for my parents. It's a $1500 chair that we got for $500. It's in perfect condition. It's going to stay at my house until my parents can bring a friend to Tyler to help them move it back home since we don't have a truck. We just went ahead an rearranged our furniture so it would fit in and not just be a random chair hanging out in our house. </div>

After we got the kids to bed, I headed to the grocery store for my weekly grocery shopping trip. The last two weeks I have gone on a Saturday night and it's been glorious. We had plans Saturday night so I went on Friday night. Just as glorious!!! I may never shop with my children again. </div>

The Baylor Alumni group here in Tyler had a little playdate at the park so we joined up with some of Matt's college buddies and let our kids play at the park. The boys just love when Daddy is at the park with them. He knows how to have a good time! He's such a good Daddy. </div>

We enjoyed <a href="https://www.chipotle.com/youthsoccer">BOGO Chipotle</a> for lunch, then headed home for naps. I thought for sure Nash would crash after such a busy morning, but he was too busy checking out his new found freedom. Matt was outside mowing and Nash just decided to check it out. Nash was doing so good in his big boy bed, but this weekend was a little tough. </div>

I feel like we are always rushed to get out the door on Sunday mornings by 9:40, but I always make sure to get my Link Sunday Portrait.

It's such a fun little tradition that I started and hope to never give it up. </div>

One of our friend from our Sunday School Class was getting baptized in the main worship. We celebrated with her then slipped out and headed to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/garesonate/?fref=ts">Resonate Worship</a>. It what the older people of our church would call "rock worship". But it's more our style and not the tradition Baptist church choir feel like the main service is. We have our own worship and then they pipe in the pastor on the big screen. We love Resonate at Green Acres. </div>

We dashed home for a quick lunch and a super quick nap for Nash then we headed to Pearson's little friend Jackson's birthday party. It was a monster truck themed party, so my boys were in heaven!!</div>

Like I said, we had a busy busy weekend, but it was so good!! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All we have planned for this weekend is soccer and AWANAS. I'm kind of hoping it stays that way. We definitely need a slower paced weekend after this past weekend!!</div>

It feels like just yesterday we were <a href="http://thelinkhome.blogspot.com/2015/01/big-boy-bed.html">moving Pearson to his big boy bed</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh wait, it was just a little over a year ago that we were doing this with Pearson. Pearson was in his crib until he was 3 years and 7 months old. Nash is only 2 years 2 months old. We are doing it WAY sooner this go round, not because we wanted to, but because we had to. Nash climbed out of his crib for the first time sometime before Christmas. He only did it once but would try every now and then. Every time we put him to bed we would just watch his monitor like a hawk to make sure he wasn't trying to climb out. I thought we were smooth sailing in our crib until all the sudden last night he climbed out 4 times. We probably could have pushed it a little longer but I was just so scared he would fall the wrong way and break his neck. Definitely not worth the risk. <br />

When we were all finished putting it together, he crawled right in and laid right down. You could tell he felt like such a big boy. <br />

When it was time for bed, we did our bedtime routine as normal…….told Daddy & Bubba night-night, read Big Red Barn, read Brown Bear Brown Bear, read our Bible story, said our prayers, sang Jesus Loves Me, gave him his "meh-sin" (zyrtec), tucked Mickey in, then tucked him in. He laid right now and I had high hopes that he would go to sleep just as he always does. </div>

After we got finished with Pearson's bedtime prayers, we checked the monitor. He sat up and laid down about 4 or five times, but finally ended up sitting up. I kept thinking the monitor was frozen because he literally sat up in the same position just staring off into space for 45 minutes. He finally came out of his room and started crying. I made him go back in his bed, but he would scream and get out when I would start to leave. I finally just sat in his rocking chair. He stayed in his bed but cried and cried and cried. After about 10 minutes of crying, he sighed really big, then laid down. He finally just gave up. It wasn't long before he fell asleep and I slipped out. <br />

It took about an hour and half longer for him to go to sleep than normal, but I didn't think that was too bad for his first night. He slept all night and woke up at 6:30. He sat up for a few minutes then laid back down and slept until 7:15. I'd call that a successful first night!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn5Nbm6x0dK-bj1nPH_4dtuN-Tz3skuuNw1qVV4RDP_YH1vBnwqmNtcRs8Cwz5BnHAaG_j1E6zBZJMZCbgx2KRUyeT7T1nkxMaslxJQJ7OJFW3eCeyMcKg_yVY3A1RA4rwF4X6lQ/s1600/IMG_2206.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn5Nbm6x0dK-bj1nPH_4dtuN-Tz3skuuNw1qVV4RDP_YH1vBnwqmNtcRs8Cwz5BnHAaG_j1E6zBZJMZCbgx2KRUyeT7T1nkxMaslxJQJ7OJFW3eCeyMcKg_yVY3A1RA4rwF4X6lQ/s640/IMG_2206.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
For his first nap time, he laid right down and fell asleep within 5 minutes. I have his Mother's Day Out teachers to thank for this. They sleep on mats at MDO and his teachers always say he is the first to fall asleep. I guess when you play hard you sleep hard. <br />

For Nash's 2nd birthday Matt's parents gave him a zoo membership. Nash loves animals, so it was a great give for him. But I love that it was really a gift to our whole family and it keeps on giving all year long. We went for the first time back in February as a family. <br />
<br />
Pearson was super excited they had a map for him to look at. He loves maps!!<br />

I told Matt a story about a silly memory I have of this rhino. Well, it might not be this exact rhino, but when I came to the zoo with my grandma as a kid (when she lived in Tyler), I saw this rhino pee. Let's just say it was like a giant bathtub faucet flooding out. I will never forgot that moment. It was hilarious!!!</div>

They don't keep score in our league, but we technically lost 3-6. However, Pearson scored all 3 goals!! We are so proud of him. I was able to catch one of his goals on camera!<br />

Of course, a soccer game wouldn't be complete without a snack. It's so funny how excited the kids gets for a little snack after the game. They play hard, so I know they are hungry afterwards. <br />

I am also so proud of Matt for the way he coached these sweet kiddos. He was so patient with them. In fact, a few parents even commented to me how patient he was with them. It's not an easy job coaching 4 year old soccer, but he totally rocked it!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't done an actual Meal Planning Monday post in a while. I did my Whole30 in January but after that I have been struggling keeping up with what I actually plan. I have a meal plan typed up in my phone, but I just haven't been posting them. I have been a cooking rut lately, so I am trying something new. My friend <a href="http://www.foraraneyday.com/">Jenica</a> meal plans for the entire month and loves it. So here goes…...here is our meal plan for the entire month of April. I'm sure things will come up, life will happen, or I just won't feel like cooking, but at least I have a plan!!<br />
<br />
**And don't worry, Matt and I don't have Mac N Cheese on our date nights! We feed the kids Mac N Cheese every Sunday night before AWANAS and they think it's the greatest thing ever. Then, after we drop them off at the church, Matt and I go grab dinner together. It's been the best way for us to have a date night each week. We are going to be so sad when AWANAS is over at the end of this month. </div>

Since I kind of fell off the blogging bandwagon for almost a year, I missed New Year's Resolutions. I decided this month I am going to start making goals for each month instead. Here are my 5 goals for the month of April.<br />
<br />
1. Meal Plan all of April instead of weekly meal planning.<br />
**will post tomorrow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Have one family over for dinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Only drink one coke a week. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Finish decorating the boys bathroom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Plan our first family vacation. </div>

I meant for this to post yesterday but we got really into watching The People Vs. OJ Simpson on FX. Gosh it is so good and so crazy. It's almost hard to believe all those crazy events happened. </div>

<b>What we're eating this week……</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been quite lazy this week with my meal planning. We've been having some pretty simple dinners this week including, Easter leftovers, Paninis, Fajita Pizza & Breakfast for Dinner. I'm actually about to sit down and meal plan for next week and I hope to incorporate a loose Whole 30 into the week. I need to get back to cleaner eating. I did really good on my Whole 30 and felt great during it but I kinda fell off the wagon afterwards and have been enjoying too many indulgences and I feel pretty crappy again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b>What I'm dreading…..</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've been racking my brain and I really can't think of anything I'm dreading. I guess cleaning my kitchen floors. I really do dread doing that because it's so pointless. I sweep and mop the floors and then one meal later they are dirty. </div>

<b>What I'm working on…..</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm finally working on decorating our bedroom. When we moved into our new house, we upgraded our bed to a king. We kept all our bedroom furniture from our old house except for our queen bed and mattress…….that's now in the guest room. For the last 9 months we have been sleeping without a headboard or bedding. I finally made two purchase last month……<a href="http://www.wayfair.com/Feliciti-Queen-Upholstery-Headboard-A71-A73-MLHO1009.html">this headboard</a> and <a href="http://www.dillards.com/p/southern-living-almira-medallion-comforter-mini-set/505770948?di=04630876_zi_blue&categoryId=913&facetCache=pageSize%3D100%26beginIndex%3D0%26orderBy%3D1">this bedding</a>. I am loving both of them. I'm hoping to add a few little decorative touches to the room, add some euro shams and curtains and finally have another room finished. </div>

I'm excited for this summer. I've got Pearson signed up for a swim lessons, VBS, soccer camp & science camp. Nash will be going to Mother's Day Out one day a week and then we will be filling the rest of our time with lots of pool playdates, trips to the zoo, $$ movie shows and lots more fun! </div>

Pearson has his first soccer game of the season this Saturday. It's been so fun to watch Matt coach the kids. He has so much patience with them and really does so good with him.

I am also planning a Game Night social for Sunday School class this month. We will be playing a super fun game called Mexican Scramble. We played it twice with our old ABF. It's going to be a fun night. I am also hoping to have some friends over one night this month for dinner and a game night. Can you tell that I love game nights??<br />

<b>Question of the Month is…..</b><br />
<b>What spring cleaning tips do you have?</b><br />
I'm probably not the best person to take cleaning tips from because it's really one of my least favorite chores of being a housewife/SAHM. But this week I am working on cleaning out closets. I'm trying to sell stuff on the garage sale sites here in Tyler. If your city has FB garage sale sites, take advantage of them! I have made a lot of money selling old stuff we don't need or want anymore. <br />

It takes our whole morning for us to get ready for church, so Easter baskets and egg hunts have to wait until after church. Easter isn't about the eggs anyways!! It's not about new clothes and matching outfits, but one Sunday a year I do like us all to coordinate for a good Easter picture! </div>

My parents were able to join us at our church, Green Acres. Pastor David preached a great sermon. Because HE lives…..I don't have to be afraid. Because HE lives…..I can live forever. Because HE lives, I know He is in control. Every year, Easter becomes more and more meaningful to me. Every year, I am more and more thankful for the sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross and that death was not the end. I am incredibly thankful for the hope we have in Jesus Christ. </div>

I did all the cooking for our Easter lunch on Saturday and then just cooked it all when we got home from church. It was a pretty delicious meal if I do say so myself even if there isn't a picture to prove it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After lunch, I let the boys open their little Easter baskets from me and Matt. Our Easter baskets are from us because I actually don't even know the story of the Easter Bunny. They each got a new Bible Story book, a toothbrush, a monster truck and a plate. Nothing big, but they were thrilled over it all. </div>

Since it was just us and my parents, I made the boys rest before we did our egg hunt. I knew there was no chance of a nap for Nash if he had all his eggs! He wasn't even walking last Easter so this year was really his first egg hunt.</div>

We made resurrection rolls on Saturday morning. I made them last year but Pearson didn't like them. I let the boys help me make them this year. They really enjoyed it. After I explained that the marshmallows represent Jesus because he was sinless and pure, Pearson said, "Can we eat Jesus now?" Ha!! </div>

After our crazy morning <a href="http://thelinkhome.blogspot.com/2016/03/the-gash-of-nash.html">getting Nash's forehead glued back together</a>, we came home and dyed eggs. Nash is such a mess these days that we decided to do this while he was napping. Maybe Nash can join in on this tradition next year.</div>

Easter Sunday always seems so busy so we decided to give their little "Easter Baskets" from Lolly & Pops on Saturday. Last year Lolly had a fun scavenger hunt for all the cousins so we decided to carry on the tradition and do a fun little hunt instead of just giving them an Easter basket. Pearson loves maps so we created this little map to give him clues as to wear each gift was. </div>

In the last 3 weeks Nash has had a black eye, a busted lip, and a gash on his forehead. What are we going to do with this kid???</div>

When Nash was first born Matt took Pearson to his first Lowe's Build & Grow. They had the best time and it began a little Saturday tradition (when they had them) for the boys to go and do their thing. Nash is now at the age to start enjoying them so the last three Build & Grow's we have taken both of them. They absolutely love it!!!!</div>

We are town visiting my parents and it worked out perfectly that there was aThursday night clinic while we were here. The electric wheelchair was running low on battery and creeping soooooooooo slow so the boys thought they were so strong giving Pops a push to make him go faster! </div>

It's crazy that they sell these little kits for $7.98 at Lowe's but give them out free if you sign up for their clinic. We are already looking forward to their next one on April 9th to build a bird feeder!!!!! </div>

This was Nash's very first Easter egg hunt. Last Easter he wasn't even walking. After each egg, he was say "Hey, wook Mommy!" Then he would open each egg and eat the candy. He only ended up with 5 eggs since he spend so much time with each one. </div>

Probably not the boys favorite part of the day, but definitely mine was a little mini photo session set up. We have a photographer in our MOPS group and she set up some props for us and took all of our kiddos pictures. They turned out so sweet. Love these sweet boys!!</div>

When you are leaving the eggs, be sure not to hide them too well, because you want to make sure they can see them when they pull up to their house or come outside! I packed a roll of tape and just taped the papers to their door! </div>

We egged 9 families. I only let Nash get out at a few houses because all he wanted to do was throw the eggs and then they would bust. And then he was sad when we left each house and didn't get to play with his friends. </div>

Pearson loved being sneaky and hiding the eggs at each of our friend's houses. His favorite egg to hide was the "tomb egg". </div>

While Pearson loved delivering the eggs, I think he loved reading everyone's text messages more as they came in all afternoon. He was thrilled to see that everyone loved it. And he loved that we even got a few pictures from our friends. </div>

The best part about doing this is that is teaches our little ones the real meaning of Easter. It seems like around Easter there is an Egg Hunt every day at every event. A church egg hunt, a preschool egg hunt, a MOPS egg hunt, a friend egg hunt, a family egg hunt, a neighborhood egg hunt and so on. It's so easy to have fun at all of these and totally forget that Easter isn't about the eggs, the candy or the silly Easter Bunny. Easter is all about celebrating that JESUS CHRIST IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD!!</div>

<span style="font-size: medium;">Another week of Whole30 is in the books. I'm so proud of myself for making it this far!! Days 11 and 12 were kind of hard because I was feeling bloated and wondering if this was even working. But Day 13 came and I was feeling much better. Each day I feel like my energy level has increased and I really am feeling great. My jeans are fitting looser, so I can only assume I have lost some weight, but honestly I don't really care about the number. The way I feel is so much more important than a silly number on a scale to me. I'm doing this to feel good and that's just how I feel!!</span></div>

<b>Dislikes:</b><br />
You hate taking brother to school. You don't like brushing your teeth or getting your hair fixed. You don't like when we offer you the wrong thing you are asking for. You don't like being locked up in the playroom by yourself. You don't like when we won't get your paci out of the crib. </div>

<b>Other Random Facts:</b></div>
<ul>
<li>You have started calling yourself "Nashy" or "Nashy-Noo" because that's what we call you a lot. </li>
<li>For a while you were calling milk "milp", but now it's "milt".</li>
<li>You love Mickey Mouse and can spot him on things all the time. </li>
<li>You say "Ouch" all the time. If I get hurt you say out for me, if Pearson barely touches you, you say Ouch. We never know if you are crying wolf or actually hurt because you say it all the time. </li>
<li>You love to snuggle! I still get to rock you for a little bit every night. </li>
<li>You LOVE the John Deer power wheels we got you guys for Christmas. You still need some help driving it, but you like it way more than Pearson does. </li>
<li>You run so so fast. If you get away from us, we really have to chase you. </li>
<li>You are a true copy cat. If brother does it, then you will shortly follow. Good or bad, you want to be just like your brother. </li>
<li>That's all I have for this month. With the holidays, I didn't write much down. </li>
