A coat of Rustoleum primer and a few coats of el cheapo white spray paint from Wal-Marts, and we've got ourselves some Easter bunnies!!
This one reminds me of the flop-eared rabbit my sisters and I used to have. His name was Bandit and he "went to live on a farm" because he kept chewing on all the cords in the house. Poor Bandit. I still need to find a nest to go in my Dollar Tree egg.
I always get so many ideas from blogs, but I can't ever figure out how to pull them off at our house. Oh well, at least I tried, right!?
He was so cute staring at all of us singing to him. He wasn't quite sure what to do.
Mom and I made a red velvet cake for the guests, but Mom got Grant his own individual cake with the good frosting. He dug it and kept leaning over to eat it without his hands! It was really cute.
Opening his new fire truck from Nana and Papa. (We had to change his shirts after he ate his cake. The kid had cake everywhere! It was awesome.)
And his new Batman pajamas, complete with a little velcro cape. Check out those abs! ;)
Regan and I made chocolate chip cookies for the kids' teachers at Mother's Day Out. I put them in little snack baggies and then made their initials out of pipe cleaners. I thought they turned out pretty well. I am obviously not smart enough to think of doing that myself. I saw the project on some blog, but I can't remember where or I would link you to it.
We even made some for our next door neighbors, the Lutyens. (Yes, Jeremy and Jenny-Lynn, they are still alive!)
Notice that Regan has her very own cart and man was she a woman driver!!!
Unfortunately, neither of them picked up the tab.
What a mess....
Here's Regan wearing the chef hat she made at Mother's Day Out.
Daddy and Grant (sporting his new 'do) at the Super Bowl party, or as Regan called it, "The Super Party"!!
I've been in the (never ending) process of switching the kids' clothes out for the next size and season up. Regan is now in 3T clothes and Grant skipped 12 months and went straight to 18 months!! Here they are riding in the bin of clothes turned choo-choo train. Grant was too worried about falling over to look at the camera.
Regan's big cousins, Lindsey and Leah loaned us a ton of their spring clothes, and we are SO thankful!!! These ladybug rain boots were in the pile and Regan has fallen in looooove with them. She has worn them everywhere, which has made for some pretty interesting outfits. She even threw a temper tantrum when I nixed the idea of her wearing them to Mother's Day Out. They are about a size and a half too big, but she just loves clomping around in them.
Regan loves all things Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus. Her latest trick is to "be Mary". And when I put all the nativity sets in the storage shed, she said, "Why did you put baby Jesus in the shed?" It was really cute and kind of sad at the same time.
Grant ate a nutri-grain bar the other day and had it everywhere! It was so cute but he was not liking having his picture taken. This was the best one I got and it doesn't even do the mess justice. He had it in his hair, in his ears, between his fingers.... man, it was a mess! I love having a boy!!
I fixed Regan's hair in pigtails the other day and then decided to braid them. They looked so cute and she thought they were really funny. Doesn't she look so grown up!?
The cutest Christmas tree I've ever seen. Grant's teachers made this at Mother's Day Out.
At Grammy and Grampa's. Lindsey opening her gifts.
Leah wouldn't stand still long enough to get a shot of her face, so here's her sweet profile.
"All these presents are fine, but what I really want is to eat this bow..."
Regan tearing into her presents.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care.
Grant on the way to Nana and Papa's.
The reindeer dropped some presents by early for the Seven Dwarfs.
A typical Livingston gathering... lots of laughter and food!! I love Tara Lynn's face!
Santa left a Barbie guitar for Regan and a sport gym for Grant.
A few of Santa's elves. (left to right: Brandi, Tabitha, Sarah, Tara Lynn, me)
Grant was so excited to see his present, he would hardly stand still! :) (Okay, so he really wasn't all that excited, but this was taken on Eric's phone so it's not the best quality. The blur behind Grant is Kyle.)
Regan jamming out.
The Seven Dwarfs in the pajamas the elves left for them. (l to r: Regan, Grant, Kyle, Kylie holding Shyann, Aubrey holding Harlee)
Rowdy got Sarah Guitar Hero for Christmas and when Regan saw the big people jamming, she went and got her guitar too. I love this picture!
She was so cute because she kept bouncing her leg in time to the music. It was stinking adorable!
My new favorite picture. These two were best buddies at Nana and Papa's.
And what makes it Christmas in southwestern Kansas more than a tumbleweed burning party!?
Tara Lynn showing off Harlee's caauuute hairdo, which I did, thank you very much! Doesn't this kid look just like her mother!? (Harlee, not Tara Lynn.)
Nana and Papa were so relieved when everyone left!
A picture of 8 of the 9 Livingston grandchildren... we've outgrown the traditional staircase picture! (l to r: Jamie, Tasha, Sarah, Tabitha, Brandi, me, Tara Lynn and Wesley) Tonya's little girl was sleeping so she didn't make it over in time.
They were so happy to see each other and played so good!! We miss our Hubson. :(
This is what happens when you let Daddy take Grant to get his hair cut....
