New and improved haircut


A few weeks ago I did my usual in the bath tub haircut for Mattingly. haha I wanted it shorter this time....well the sides were awful! He doesn't like the clippers daddy has b/c they are too loud so I bought some new ones. He said they were still too loud. But we tested them out today and he said they weren't too loud. I coaxed him into letting me use them by giving him a new play dough picnic kit. It's still not great so I may just leave it to daddy from now on. Or I guess I can keep practicing and eventually get it. haha Oh the 2nd picture he posed and said "it's so cute isn't it?".

Sisterly love


Mattingly has been moving Myla around and lying next to her. He likes when she "bites" or kisses his face and ears. I caught a moment of it the other day.

Rain or shine



Mattingly has wanted to "garden" ever since he helped Grandma Mariann do some at her house. Target had a few little things on sale I bought for him so now I just have to get some plants to plant. He rarely likes to go outside in the sun-can't blame him, there isn't much to do at our house; well it was raining on Sunday and he decided he wanted to go outside and jump in the puddles.

Beach Day


 Monday was so nice out we headed to Mark's mom's. We took a walk. Mattingly played on the playground a little, ate lunch, and sat on the beach for a little bit. It was great! Mattingly even met a little girl to play with.

Baking soda and vinegar



Just another little project we did one day.

Bathroom Makeover


Time for a "kid" bathroom. Laura bought Mattingly this monkey towel for his birthday 2 years ago and then I bought another towel and the toothbrush holder. Well Target still had the stuff so I bought the shower curtain and of course Mattingly wanted the soap dispenser too. Then we picked out a few more towels and the little rugs. And we don't even have to repaint b/c the monkeys face matches the wall color. :)

Easter







Easter morning Mattingly awoke to find what the Easter bunny had left behind. He was happy with his new Captain America toy and puzzle the most! (the candy was good too, but thankfully he doesn't ask for it much) Then we all dressed in a little pastel purple and headed off the church. And then off to my parent's house where Mattingly found legos from when grandma was little. He needed a little help from papa building a house though. It was a beautiful day.
