The Rawlings Family

Give them to your kiddos! The other day I let Landon take a tiny lick of my lemon that was meant for my iced tea (I prefer lemonless tea, thank you!). Unfortunately, I didn't have my pocket camera with me to capture that precious first tart tasting fun.

Today Liz and I took the kiddos to the mall for our last trip before she has to go back to work from her maternity leave. *insert huge bawling face here* We stopped for a quick bite to eat and once again my addiction (iced tea) was at the table. Delilah was showing quite an interest in her Mom's drink which so happened to be lemonade. It reminded me of Landon's hilarious expressions from the other day's first lemon experience. So, for kicks and giggles we decided to let the babies sample some more mouth puckering goodness. Both of them LOVED it!

Landon's 2nd Lemon

Delilah's 1st Lemon

He made more of a face when I took the lemon away then when it was in his mouth! :D
Shawn just woke up from a very good nap :)

A few pictures that Lizzy captured from yesterday... they were too cute not to post!

Easter just wasn't the same this year with various family members among the missing. My mom and Jon both had to work on Easter so it was just the kiddos, my grandparents, and me on Easter Sunday. This past Sunday we gathered 'round my grandparents dining room table for a non-traditional family feast to celebrate the Easter holiday together... even if it was a week late.

After dinner we ventured outside to take the boys for their first wagon ride of the spring season. This was actually Landon's very 1st wagon ride!

This rides good enough to suck thumb in!

Bea-u-tiful day outside!

Hey, where's mine, Shawn?

After Nan and Peeps house we headed over to the Wolfgang's for a Mother's day photo shoot and a little playtime for all the kiddos. You can view a preview of the shoot at http://arawphotog.blogspot.com

Shawn having the time of his life!

Adam had to keep rescuing Shawn's WAY too big pants that he was wearing from MeMe. Since MeMe let him play in mud puddles he was soaked and needed a change.

Awww... kisses for Connor :)

Shawn enjoying his "guy" time with Adam and Owen.

Chasing after Riley... all the boys will be doing this some day :)

Best of Friends... I love watching these two play together... from babies to toddlers and every stage in between... its fun watching their relationship grow and change.

And Today:
Another spring walk at our favorite spot with Aunt Lizzy, Uncle John, and Baby Delilah! I enjoy this time with our "family" more than anyone could know. The Williams trio has been there for us through think and thin... they are for all intents and purposes... our family... and always will be. We love them dearly!

Uncle John training me for the NFL!
Last night Uncle John was watching the boys while Liz and I were away at a seminar and before bed Shawn went up to John and gave him a big bear hug and said the sweetest thing "I love you, Uncle John!" Then they sat and shared a bowl of teddy grams. Shawn gave him every other one :) He sure looks up to his Uncle John!
