Many Updates Needed

I have not been good about keeping up with this blog, so here is my attempt to play a bit of catch up...

Nicholas is just as crazy and funny as ever.  He constantly amazes me with some of the things that come out of his mouth.  Recently you will hear him say...

"Guess what?"  (and of course you HAVE to say What?)  "Sea turtles are one hundred and sixty dollars." which in real life means "Sea turtles live to be one hundred and fifty years old."  He got this line from Finding Nemo and just loves asking people "Guess what?" 

We think he might be cutting another tooth because recently he has been very moody (more so that the norm), will randomly suck on his fingers during the day (which he hasn't done in a LONG time) and even made a comment about his ear hurting.  It has been about a year since he last cut a tooth, so hopefully this explains these occurrences. 

We had a great Easter weekend filled with gorgeous weather, Easter egg hunting and of course dying eggs.

The downfall of him being in a big bed is that he attacked his Easter basket before we knew about it.

 Lots of concentration getting those stickers on there.

 All done!

This weekend was the annual A-Day game, so daddy drove Nicholas and Pop to T-town for the day.  Luckily they had gorgeous weather and even ran into Big Al, which was a big hit for Nicholas. 

Gotta have game-day gear on

The background always looks fake when they take these pictures

Someone had a little too much fun and conked out on the walk to the car.

Speaking of Alabama, I have to share a project that I just finished for some close friends.  My inspiration came from this wreath on Etsy and of course my love for Pinterest.  I think it turned out super cute and hopefully our friends will like it as well.

For anyone interested it's a foam wreath wrapped in yarn.  I cut out squares of white felt and houndstooth material and then wrapped the yarn back around for an argyle effect.  For the letter, I purchased a wooden letter from Michael's a modge podged scrapbook houndstooth paper on it.  Very doable and MUCH cheaper than what you can buy online!!!

Finally as far as the home building process goes, we have signed with a builder and are waiting to finish up some final details of the construction loan process.  Hopefully (fingers crossed) we can start everything in May and be in by the end of the year.  This will definitely be an interesting process to go through, but we are definitely looking forward to the end result.
