This & That

*Today we finally had Garrison's 4 year well check. And it was a big one.... not just because he had to get multiple shots but because he had to take a hearing test, vision test, perform a few physical feats, and answer a few questions. Mama had to answer some questions as well. Wow. Those things can be intimidating!

He weighed 34.6 pounds and was 40 inches tall. He is right at 50% in both categories and the epitome of an average sized 4 year old. He did really good with the shots (he only had to have 2, plus a finger prick) and was loaded up with goodies afterwards... 1 blue popsicle, 1 spiderman sticker, and 1 cool bouncy ball from the treasure chest. There was more drama in the car as we were leaving reliving the whole experience of being "pinched" than there was at the doctor's office. The dramatics continued this afternoon as well. Bless his heart. No idea where he gets that from. =) We are SO thankful for our healthy, growing boy!!

*We stayed up to watch Duck Dynasty last night. Sooo funny. I am definitely hooked... and totally fascinated by the Robertson's and their family life.

*We're also really getting into Survivor again this season. Drama, drama, drama. Of course I really like the Favorites and would love to see one of them at the end, but I also always have a soft spot for the underdog... which appears would be the Fans at this point. We'll have to wait and see how it plays out and who I'm rooting for in the end.

*I'm getting excited about Dancing with the Stars coming back on (or as my husband says when he's making fun of my wanting to watch every week... DWTS!)

*Speaking of my hubby, we're in the middle of trying to plan our anniversary weekend away in June. Let's just say it's been a tad challenging. At first we were thinking of going to Helen and leaving on a Friday morning, staying 2 nights, and returning Sunday afternoon. But, after much discussion (and even stressing), we decided we're not really at the point where we want to leave our 2 small kids for that long while spending a sizeable amount of money. Maybe we'll be at that point in a few years, but for now, we're on a pretty tight budget and therefore don't want to spend too much, plus we don't want to leave the kids for too long. Sooo we started looking into other places that would be fairly close by but that we could arrive at on a Friday night or Saturday morning. We stressed so much over the Helen trip that we sort of moved on from it and now we can't decide where to go or what to do. In a way it's exciting, in a way it makes you crazy. Guess we'll keep looking and hopefully make a decision soon.

*This weekend we've scheduled the boys Easter pics (a mini session just like last year) and it's going to be cold! What to do, what to do?? Since we're thinking it shouldn't take that long, Terrell wants to go for it. I'm a little more nervous because I'm hoping for good pictures and don't want the weather to ruin things. Or for the boys to be shivering and miserable, and therefore uncooperative. Hmmm...I'm thinking we'll stick with it though....

*Spring Training for the Braves is in full swing! Yay for baseball!! My oldest little man is loving watching it on TV. I'm excited for him to get to play starting in a week or two. I'm sure it will be overwhelming at first trying to find a good routine (week night practices tend to give me just a teensy bit of anxiety) but we survived soccer last Fall so hopefully baseball will be just as fun!

*That's all the little updates I can think of... Happy Friday and first day of March tomorrow!
