Springtime camping

Hey everyone

I've got pictures galore this time.

Since you checked in last, me and the boys went to visit my parents in Houston while Chris worked a super busy week/weekend. We had a blast hanging out at my parent's house. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pics while we were there. Preston had fun playing in his new water sprinkler he got for his birthday, and he's super excited about his new rain boots he got. It was the perfect time for us to go since Chris wasn't home much.

Then this past weekend we went camping at Chicot. It was soooo nice to get away...and with Chris this time! Sam and Maggie got to come too. They love it. Chris' parents pulled their camper and met us there, and now they are on a month long camping trip. We had wonderful weather and not many bugs. Preston played outside pretty much all day, so its the perfect vacation for him. Of course we all enjoyed the break, but Chris needed it the most. He got super relaxed, but then had his toughest day of school today. He'll make it, only a month left.

I only have one Preston story this time. He decided he needed to "cook" some eggs while I ran outside to feed the dogs. This means he snatched the egg carton out of the frig, broke a few on the floor, and began scrambling them all over the floor with his hands. I caught him before he got to the rest of the eggs. He was very disappointed that I wouldn't let him help clean up his mess. Oh, and for you regular readers, I got some new shoes!

Clint enjoyed his first camping trip. He's such a content baby, and that makes it so much easier on us. We'll see if he's as rambunctious as his brother as he gets older. He's starting to be less cuddly and more of a wiggle worm. He loves to sit or stand while we hold him, and he watches everything his big brother does, and Preston enjoys that. Preston is very sweet and helpful with him. One of my favorite things to hear Preston say right now is, "I snuggle Quint (Clint)." He will snuggle right up to Clint, even if that means climbing in the crib with him.

Camping makes you get so relaxed that you can fall asleep anywhere.
