Well it's been a couple weeks so I'll just try to update you as quickly and precisely as I can. :) We went to San Angelo right after Easter for our friends wedding. And to see Grammy and Pa Paw of course! We had to go to the rehearsal dinner on Friday too so they got to babysit Boone both nights--thanks you guys! Boone had a great time with them like he always does but each time he sees people 
and the more we talk about all of our family the easier it seems for him when we are around different people. It's pretty cool to just see how much he knows now. I can tell him to put the box in the cabinet and close the door....and he does it! I can tell him to go find my brush when I need it....and he does it! It's so amazing.....I think we might have a gifted child!! :) Anyway back to San Angelo (I can't keep my mind on one thing these days) we had a great time and I even got to lay out with my mom on Saturday since Boone was napping, Brian was golfing and Pa Paw was working on one of many projects he finds himself doing around the lake. The wedding was really beautiful and really sweet. It was a great weekend for us, but it was an even better weekend for one little boy I know. Boone got to have his 2nd Easter with a ton of goodies from his Grammy and Pa Paw and his Gi Gi and Grand Daddy. Boy his Grandparents sure know how to spoil him!! He got some really cute outfits, some great new books, bubbles, cars, tons of yummy sweet things, games and his very own pint sized golf set. He loves it all and says Thank you, Thank you!! It was a very good Easter. The next weekend we stayed here. We were going to have some friends over Saturday night but it stormed and stormed all day Saturday so we postponed the party until Sunday. It actually worked out better that way since the first game in the Spurs-Mavericks series was on. We had some people that were Mavs fans and some that were Spurs but it was a fun game to watch with a good group of people. Boone had a great time playing with all of the kids. He just hung out outside and I'd poke my head out to check on him (of course we were watching him through the windows) and he would just wave and start babbling, as if he was saying hey mom, I 'm just playing with my friends-love you! Of course I imagine that as soon as Boone is talking he will tell me he loves me all the time--even during those adolescent, hormonal, my mom is so embarrassing times. I'm not being too unrealistic am I?!? :) It was adorable and he was totally wiped out so it was pretty easy to put him to bed that night. Last week we had his 15 month checkup. Everything was great--he weighs 27.2 lbs which puts him in the 80% and he's 32 inches which is the 75%. So all in all it's still clear that he is a large boy. He had to get 3 shots which were absolutely horrible but thank goodness Brian was there to hold him so I could stand in the 
corner and stare at the door (that's all true and I'm not embarrassed to say that) We got a new lotion for Boone's skin. He has had really bad eczema for a while now and he would just itch and itch but a pharmaceutical rep had come in earlier that day with some new lotion. Brian asked our doctor (who we absolutely LOVE by the way--just had to say Dr. Basey is the greatest!) if we could have 14 free samples--since the copay is $40 and she thought that was hilarious. She walked out and Brian looked at me and said so how many do you think she's going to give us? It was pretty hilarious but I'm sure she thinks we are insane!! But she loves us and totally loves Boone and the best news is that the lotion totally worked and his skin looks amazing! It feels like little baby legs and I love it. He is just the cutest thing ever! This last weekend we found some bluebonnets to take Boone's picture in. I just love our bluebonnets around here so I was determined to get him in some but I think with all of the rain we had just had it must have washed a bunch out because we drove about 45 minutes before we found a decent patch of them. We saw a ton when we were coming back from San Angelo and we are going again in a couple of weeks, so maybe we can find some more then. We'll see. Anyway so I made Brian walk through and check the bluebonnets first just in case there were some animals or reptiles hiding in them and then we just put Boone down in the middle. He was NOT happy at first but then he kind of seemed to like it. He wouldn't move so anytime one of us came close to him he would throw his arms up like get me out of here but he never tried to leave. We went out to eat after then came home and rented a movie. We watched Crazy Heart--pretty good! I liked it a lot and I stayed awake for the 
whole thing--let me just tell you that says A LOT because I don't make it through 90% of them. Sunday we went to church. We haven't been in a long time and it was really nice to go back. We haven't found a church we feel is right yet but this church had a great pastor who had a very relevant message for both Brian and I. I think we might try a new one next time or revisit the one we were going to before. But either way it just feels good to be back at church and we'll just keep looking until we find the one that's right for us. On Thursday Grandma Lou is coming in to keep Boone for us. I'm going down to the coast with a bunch of girls from work and Brian is going to the ranch, so Cindy was sweet enough to say she would come and keep Boone for us while we go vacation (in two different places--ha ha!). I know Boone is going to have a hay day! We have been trying to teach him to say Lou but he doesn't have it down yet. Maybe by the time you get here Cindy!! :) We hope you have all had good things going on too and hope you have a great rest of the week and weekend!!

"Petting" the cat (I think he was trying to push him off the deck)
No, I'm not causing any trouble at all (thanks for the cute t-shirt Aunt Erin and Uncle Houston)
YUMMM...chocolate!!
Grammy and Pa Paw are talking about something but I don't care I've got CHEETOS!!
Riding the horse
2nd Easter egg hunt
Hey Grammy--where are they at?
He would go around and open them--if they had goldfish or sweet tarts he would dump them out and move on but if they were the m&m's he would grab them all and run off while he stuffed them in his mouth--it was hilarious!
So what's in this one?
Look at me!
Watching the rain (check out my big belly!)
Ok so I have a whole dialogue for the next pictures so just bear with me...
Hey Sam do you want to play? No ok well you look like you're having fun. Mind if I join?
Ok I'm coming in
Oh almost there
Alright!! This is so cool!!
Ok now here's the thing Sam, I'm going to lay with you but this is MY blanket and NO I will not share it
But I'll pet your head
and poke your nose
and give you kisses!!
I love my kitty cat! (Now if only the feeling was mutual!)
I don't know if you can tell but he's standing up on the rail watching the dogs. This kid would be out there playing with them all the time if we'd let him
Going to take bluebonnet pictures--he did not want me to take his picture
He wanted out immediately
but then started to explore
He thought Daddy was coming to get him but we just wanted to change his shirt
He face planted here--it was hilarious!
No Boone don't pick that bluebonnet
Ok fine then I don't want to do this anymore!! I'm out!!
Snacking after a hard photo shoot
I gave him a new fruit puch thing that Dana told me about--she calls it baby crack and man he LOVED it!!
Playing in the water!
Throwing it on me!!
OOOOOOO this is fun!!!Boone was feeding himself some apple sauce-- I just love listening to him "talk"
We were standing on the porch listening to the thunder the other day and Boone was not scared at all...he never even budged! He's a brave little guy!

He is sooo precious, I just love the stories, the pictures, and of course that little boy! Sam was so sweet to Boone, and I loved the videos. The thunder didn't scare Boone at all, that's amazing. Thank you 100 times and over for sharing everything with us. I love your blog. Love you all, GiGi
Oh Boone--that was quiet the outfit dad put you in--oh my! I loved all of the pics. and I can't wait to see you at the end of May. Have fun with Grandma Lou! Love you! Grammy
