Last week I was on the phone with Jay when I heard Hayden in the background.
Hayden: Daddy, why aren't you 'sweep?
Jay: Because I'm awake.
Hayden: Nooooooo, no daddy. You need be 'sweep. If mommy comes home, she gon' spank your butts!
Apparently Hayden prefers daddy to sleep in! Whenever he wants to Jay to be awake, he runs to his bed and says, "Daddy! Wake up! Wake up, it's springtime!!"

Three months old!
How is it possible that Lila is already three months old? It seems like just yesterday we brought home this 7 pound baby from the hospital!
Lila has changed so much in three short months! She has developed such a personality already. It's easy to tell if she likes something or not. She loves Hayden, who can always calm her down and make her smile. She lights up when she sees one of the three of us, and likes the dogs too. She has started grabbing...my hair, her clothes, and the animals that hang from her play mat. She watches us like a hawk when we eat, watching the food go from plate to mouth, and she's starting to hate the bath a little less. I won't go so far as to say she loves it, but she doesn't mind it much. Her little cradle cap has retreated to the top of her head, where it's supposed to be! She is such a sweet, calm baby. We are a lucky family for sure!
Logic
Oh the mind of a three-year-old. Last week I told Hayden, "Today is Oscar's birthday!" Hayden pondered this for a minute and then said, "But he doesn't talk." Somehow, in his head those two facts were in direct conflict with one another.
Mr. & Mrs. Davis!
Katie and Dustin got married!
They had a small family ceremony on April 15th at Tanglewood, and I was so honored to be there to see them exchange vows.
After the ceremony we headed to Graylyn for drinks and dinner, and cake of course! Such a beautiful day to get married, and to celebrate the love that two people share.

Big birthdays!
April is definitely a big month for birthdays around us! This year we celebrated Emily's first birthday at her Nana's house. So strange, this is the first family baby (other than my own!) I've been around to see grow up. I visited Whitney in the hospital just a day after baby Emily was born, and got to hold her. I saw her at all the in-between stages, of laying and doing nothing, of sitting up and crawling, of pulling up and finally deciding to walk.
Happy first birthday Emily!
Last weekend we traveled to Charlotte for Lily's 3rd birthday. She had a Princesses & Pirates theme, and Hayden had a blast! We watched the kids color and play in the castle and pirate ship, eat yummy food, sing and eat cake. I was most amazed at how much baby Reid had changed in a year! At Lily's party last year Reid was on her monitor in the baby bouncer, and still so small. One year later, she was sitting up in the high chair, eating cake and walking around and exploring. What a difference time makes!
Lily had a blast with all her friends! She opened presents and thanked everyone for her gifts. She played and was the perfect princess!
At the end of the party, she was excited to hand out her princess & pirate favors. The hat, sword, eye patch and gold coins made for a fun ride home. Hayden didn't want to leave, and on the way home kept asking, "Can we go to Charlotte to Lily's party?" Those two got along great!

Ax man
We had a tree in the backyard that was basically a nuisance. No good could come from it, and Jay couldn't take it anymore, so he spent three days cutting it down with a chainsaw. One of my least favorite noises, the end of this project could not come fast enough for me. Hayden loved it, and so did the dogs. Even Lila didn't mind, snoozing outside in the nice weather while Jay cut and cut and cut some more.
Because of the fences, the deck and the proximity of the tree to our neighbor's yard, Jay had to take the smaller branches first, then the bigger branches and then finally the trunk.
Luckily for Hayden and the dogs, he left the trunk in a few big pieces in the yard for two days, which proved to be hours of entertainment! Literally hours. One night Hayden was out there until almost 9pm, and I had to serve his dinner on the deck because he refused to come in. You're only young once!
