What a gem!

While looking through photos on the computer I stumbled upon this video clip from when Addie was 15months old. It was a video we made for Matt because he was gone. It is just the cutest thing.

Welcome TY!!!!!!

My sister just had her baby April 29th and I am here as the proud Aunt to post pictures. He is the most beautiful baby with the biggest cheeks I have ever seen. He weighed 8lbs3oz and was 20 1/4inches long. They named him Ty Christopher. Addie LOVES her new cousin so much...however Asher is less excited but I know once Ty is a bit older and able to get in mischief they will be great friends.

Matt the Hiking Machine

These are just some pictures of matt's recent hiking exploits. He is so hott!!!!!!!!

Easter time!

Easter weekend was so full of things to do by the time Monday rolled around we pretty much just stayed in bed. Good Friday I woke up and got to work at the early hour of 6am till 5pm with no breaks and lets say I was so exhausted but I went straight from work and brought the kids to my mom's house to dye eggs with Avery. The kids had lots of fun and we poured ourselves into bed that night around 10. The next morning was spent at my Maw Maw's house for a fun filled Easter celebration of egg hunting and gumbo...yum. We spent all day there and had so much fun. Sunday after church we headed over to my Dad's house in New Orleans we Wendy made us a great dinner and the kids had an Easter egg hunt. After the hunt we walked across the street to the cemetery and the kids played and looked at all the old tombs. That probably sounds weird to most but being that I was raised in the city I love the cemeteries there and it is a very peaceful place for me. We also watched a movie and just had a ton of fun. Here are a few pictures of our Easter weekend. Mental note to self...don't give Asher so many boiled eggs next time, we nearly had to evacuate later that night because he smelled so bad.

My little Edward

Anyone who has talked to me within the past two years knows I LOVE TWILIGHT. I love the books and I loved the movie. The love has often led to my ridicule especially by my adoring husband (by the way he likes the books just as much as me). With that said when Asher woke up with his hair looking quite similar to Edward I couldn't help but try to take some pictures. He didn't want to take pictures since he and Addie are extremely sick Asher even had 103.2 fever last night however I snapped a few photos anyway.

Our new home

Sorry about not blogging for so long I have been part sick, part lazy, and part busy. My kids are napping and the house is fairly clean and it is work out time. I work out everyday usually but today my legs and butt are still sore and I decided blogging seemed way more fun then excercising.

So whats new with the Meyers' Family you may ask? Well we are buying our first home. I am so super excited we go to the closing in less than two weeks!!! I am including some pics of the outside of the house. The inside is very nice too but I wanted painted and I will post pictures of the inside when that is done. The paint isn't awful now it is just too dark. Anyways....yeah we are buying a house.

Another new thing is Matt got his acceptance letter for college. I am so proud of him. College has always been part of the plan but has been put on hold for a while. Now it is finally happening and we couldn't be happier.

The Sweetest thing!

I feel very lucky to have very complimentary family. My husband compliments me even when I don't deserve it and Asher has always been my little sweetie. However the sweetest thing that was ever told to me was by my little angel Addie. I guess you will have to know one thing before I tell what she told me. That one thing is that despite my best efforts she LOVES T.V. I believe it is an addiction because I love TV too where as my husband and son can care less for TV. Even though Addie and I love T.V. we don't spend hours in front of it a day. Just a movie or cartoon each day but no more than 2 hours and many days none at all. That being said, last night I was snuggling her in her bed trying to get her to fall asleep when she turned to me squeezing me tight and said, "You are the best mommy. I love you even if you are mad at me. I even will love you if I never get to watch T.V. ever again."

It was the sweetest thing I have ever heard. I am not quite sure why she chose those examples of adoration for me for I have not been mad at her nor taken away her t.v. but if she will love me even if I do I know that must be a lot.
