The Big 2-9

Tomorrow commemorates the first day of the last year of Scott's 20's, so we had his family up for a small celebration yesterday. Scott made some delicious steak and potatoes, some spoon bread, and I made a salad. Yum!
Then Scott opened his gifts, most of which had a cooking theme.
We also indulged in my fine baking, courtesy of Duncan Hines and Betty Crocker.

Happy 29th, Scottie!

Hot Dog!

Its that time of year again, time for the windows to open, the fans to blow, and Thibideaux to get his spring 'do!

Go Pens


For Christmas this year, we got tickets for the Pens vs. Thrashers game in Atlanta for Amanda and Sean (and Scott). So, they hopped on MARTA and made it an all day event in the ATL. Leave it to my husband, though, to not get a single picture of himself! Instead, you are treated to the really cool pics he got of our Pittsburgh Penguins during their warm-up.





A Step-by-Step Guide on How to Garden

First, play with any and all worms that live in your dirt.
Next, move the dirt around with your shovel.
Then place the plants in the dirt.
Last, but definitely not least, WATER!

This year, Scott changed things up a little bit. We only planted 2 tomato plants and 2 strawberry plants. We've never done strawberries, so hopefully they turn out okay. Beckham had fun helping out with the planting. He was most excited about squirting the hose, though. He looks forward to the evenings every day when he can help Daddy water the garden.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hippity-hoppity

The Easter Bunny came to our house this Easter and left lots of nice treats for Beckham and Brooks. Beckham was VERY excited.
Brooks could have cared less, but he was more than willing to strike a pose once he was dressed for Grandma and Pap-pap's house.
And when we got there, low and behold, the Easter Bunny had left another basket for Beckham! (I hear the dentist calling!)
Pap-pap doing what he does best. . . hogging babies!
Uncle Brandon helped Beckham hunt for Easter eggs in the backyard.
Daddy got in on the action, too.
Handsome and Huggable
And Great Grandma Helen got to meet Brooks for the very first time. She just had a pace-maker put in days before, so she hasn't been feeling well enough to travel out to our house. We are so glad she finally got to spend some time with him!

Since When Do Bunnies Lay Eggs?

The day before Easter, we decided to do a Beckham-first. . . dying Easter Eggs.
Apparently we got a little carried away trying to prevent any dyes from getting on anything but the eggs. Next time we'll do it outside!

Beckham had fun, but wasn't into the waiting around while the colors changed.

P.S. Thanks Amanda for taking the pics!

Stinky Feet
