March & Early April

 Drew was invited to an egg hunt at a local nursing home where a friend's grandma lives.  He had a ball (egg?)!

 He also really enjoyed a birthday party at a bounce house.  I made sure Matt came because it's a WORK OUT!  Sounds like a daddy job to me!

 We tried a low carb diet for a few months to see if it would help control the seizures, so poor Drew got broccoli and olives for lunch instead of pizza!  Crazy kiddo didn't mind a bit, though.  He LOVES broccoli and olives!!  The diet didn't seem to help, so he gets to eat fun stuff again - yay for fun foods, boo for not helping seizures!  We just tried a low carb diet - not the ketogenic diet.  I believe that's still an option for us later on if we can't find a medication that will work for him.  Right after this pic, Drew fell straight backward off this chair onto the tile and got a huge goose egg on his head :(

 Happy Easter!  And Happy Carb Eater!!!

 Houston Stroll for Epilepsy with Mimi and Pops at the Houston Zoo

The big animals weren't awake yet, so we didn't see much.  Then, in keeping with the spirit of things, Drew had a seizure and we had to go home early.

Reading Chicka Chicka Boom Boom with Mimi!

Smile!

Believe it or not, this kid actually stopped what he was doing, looked at the camera, and smiled on command for this pic :)  This cutie has had a rough weekend, but hopefully he's on the mend.  He's loving reading his puppy book while wearing his puppy jammies. We enjoyed having Mimi and Pops visit this weekend!  More pics to come...

Yer Mama Might Be A Redneck If...

The other day I gave Drew some milk in a cup that could spill, so I told him he had to drink it on the tile floor in the kitchen and couldn't take it out in the living room on the carpet.  I asked if he understood me and he nodded yes.  Thinking he was just nodding to appease me, I said, "Do you know what tile means?"  He nodded again.  I said, "Ok, show me the tile."

He immediately walked over to the oven and grabbed the dish TOWEL.

Yup, I'm a redneck.  Poor kid.

MDO Egg Hunt

Swingin

Loving this weather!!

You get a line, I'll get a pole...

 We'll go fishin' in the crawdad hole, honey, baby, mine!

Oh, yes.  This happened.  And they all three got pinched.  Guess which one yelped the least?!  ;)  I was happy in the role of official photographer.  They boiled 30lbs of crawfish!  I have tried the little mudbugs a few times and the verdict's still the same....No, thanks!

Handsome Haircut

Drew has become a haircut lover. Our HEB has a kids haircut place inside the store and Drew asks for a haircut the entire time we are shopping for groceries! He LOVES it. Well, every couple months he gets his wish granted. Today was his lucky day and he loved every minute of it. I think it's really the lollipop that he loves :) 

I just love this pic of him.  He's really difficult to capture on camera because he refuses to pose, or even stand still and look in the vicinity of the camera on command!  Each picture looks like a completely different kid to me because his expressions change so fast.  This is a "real" Drew expression.  He had a great day today.  Precious kiddo!

Cool Drewski

Someone is finally feeling better!!!

Plumber...I mean Climber

HeeeeHeeee

This was too cute to resist!

"Hey, Mom, What's that clicking sound??"

Camera Shy Cowboy

Rodeo 2013

 Cutest cowboy I've ever seen!

The rodeo has a children's area where the kids go around and harvest different Texas agricultural goods.  Then, at the end, they sell their goods at the market and get some money to buy a treat at the general store.  Such a cute idea!  Drew seemed to like it, although by the time we got there he was out of energy.  It was a LONG hike from the car to the children's area.  He used up all his energy just getting there!  We had a random run-in with Aunt KK's former roomie, Emily, at the children's area!  She was a volunteer in the market.  Small world!

 Best picture I got of him actually looking toward the camera...an "I don't do pictures" pose and a cockamamy hat!  LOL

 Finding extra wide boots just didn't make it on my to-do list this year!  This kid still has baby-shaped feet and it's hard enough finding tennis shoes to fit him.

 He's had a very rough past 2 weeks, hence the bruised up face.  Poor kiddo.

 Drew + his all time favorite thing...MILK!

He loved this soft sheep and hugged it at least 3 times!

The rodeo was fun, but overall it was super $$ for the amount of time we spent there.  If they had a toddler parking area with direct access to the children's area, it would be perfect!  But parking miles away and then fighting the crowds to get to the kids area took all the energy out of this boy before we even started the festivities!

Thanks, Auntie KK for the cowboy hat!  She bought it for Drew last year at the rodeo.  This might be the last year it fits :)
