Pretty (Tough) in Pink

Remember those teeth I was telling you about?










Now, I'm sure when he's older, Eli's gonna wonder why I took pictures of him in a hot pink wagon. Well, the simple answer is...he loved it...and it was there, and he was cute. For now, let's just not mention it to him that it's pink, deal? Uncle Grant hooked Norah up with this personally custom-painted wagon (the back even has her name on it!) for her birthday. (Aunt Paige made the color-coordinated seat cushion) Both kids LOVE going for rides in the wagon together (more pictures of that coming soon!)

"I'm sorry, what did you say? This wagon is what? Pink? Yep. That's what I was thought you said. What am I gonna tell the guys back at the nursery?"

While Eli sat debating a more masculine term for pink ("Ruddy? Rhymes with muddy. Not bad. Salmon? Isn't that a type of fish...that's manly, right?")...






Norah feverishly tried to pop every bubble in sight...















in her wagon- matching, hot pink boots, no less. (She calls these her "Jenny boots"...you'll never guess who gave them to her)

An in case you're wondering, yes, we do let her wear them with shorts out in public. It is springtime in Texas, you know.







It was a fun night, for the whole family. We are truly loving the beautiful, down-right Spring-like weather (while it lasts!). What are the odds our lawn will look this green, come August?

I dressed Gates in pink pajamas that we borrowed from Shelby one time while we were visiting CS. We then took it one step further and put a pink bow in his hair for some pics. They will be good for keeping him humble when he gets older. I am very impressed with the wagan and seat cover. What and awesome aunt and uncle! Props to Grant and Paige.

I love the teeth picture! Real men can wear/ride in pink! I love watching Scott walk into a restaurant after he's dropped me & Sydney at the door. He looks great carrying in our pink and brown diaper bag!
