Mom Stays...

My mom was able to stay a little longer than everyone else. She flew out this morning. Sasha Mae even experienced her FIRST airplane ride this afternoon! She did great! While mom was here, we had a great time shopping, playing with Case, going on walks to the park and enjoying each other's company. Case adores Grandma (and Sasha :) We were sad to see her go but know we will see her again on May 20th, YEA!

The most wonderful Mother & Grandma in the whole wide world!

Mom & Dad

Kirby and I could not be luckier to have such amazing parents. It was so nice having everyone down here for Easter weekend. Mom continues to need all of the prayers she can get these days. She is such a strong person, I can't even begin to imagine her thoughts throughout the day. Dad is so patient and loving to our Mom. They both have remained so positive through this journey. I believe we are truly the most blessed family in the world. LOVE YOU DAD & MOM!

Family Visits!

We have had a FULL house the past week and have enjoyed every minute! My sister flew in last Thursday afternoon. She was able to hang out with Case a little before the whole crew arrived :)

The family had a hard time getting here on Friday evening. The van shut down so they had to leave it with some random guy in Oklahoma that just so happened to fix transmissions. They rented another van and finally made it!

We had a WONDERFUL visit from everyone. Here are some memories from our Easter weekend...

Cool Dude in his NEW shades!

Taking up the whole road on our Easter walk!
Happy Easter from the Bishop's!

The smiling face I wake up to every morning!
Sweet Grandma Hoskin

Sweet Shades!
Beautiful Girls!

Mommy & Daddy Weekend!

Ryan's parents graciously flew down here to watch Case for both nights this past weekend. They got in on Thursday night. We had a fun day of shopping on Friday (the girls) while the boys golfed. On Friday night, we had a wedding. It was a girl who works with Ryan and it was beautiful! It gets me SO excited for my sister's wedding!

Last night, we went to the Kenny Chesney concert. It was AMAZING! We were there in time to see Billy Curringtong, Zac Brown Band and then Kenny. We have gone for the past few years (last year he took a year off which worked out since we had a 2 month old anyway) and have enjoyed it every year. This year, it was at the Texas Stadium and I really don't think a concert could get any better. Fun times with GREAT friends :)

14 Months

Case is a few days past 14 months and just entertaining us all...He is SUCH a busy boy! Case loves:
* playing outside (begging from the moment he gets up)
* jabbering a hundred miles a minute right when he gets up (he must have a lot to tell me from the time we have been apart while he is sleeping or his dreams are THAT good)
* seeing Wrigley first thing in the morning (he is CONSTANTLY giggling at that dog)
* eating a LOT for breakfast and has blueberries every single morning (despite the fact that they are like $4 a container)
* going to the Y to play with the kids (they have many different balls in the childwatch room so this helps)
* going to Target with Mommy and getting to touch the big RED ball outside of Target (he thinks he can move it)
* eating Chick Fil-A chicken nuggets on a weekly basis
* dancing to ANY type of music even it is the slow, jazzy music at Market Street
* making his famous "O" face when he hears ANYTHING new or pretty much ANY sound
* is pointing to many body parts and saying animal sounds and maybe says 20ish words...
* will grab his Lovey and paci the SECOND we walk upstairs into his bedroom and has started to throw them out of his crib so I put in TWO lovey's and paci's and I think this threw him off for the time being anyway
* will hug any stuffed animal or his lovey and sway side to side, SO cute
* is an amazing, loving, sweet, caring, BUSY and adorable 14 month old. WE LOVE HIM SO MUCH and thank God every day for this amazing blessing!

Bumps & Bruises

This kid is going to break every bone in his body, I swear. He fell down a few stairs on the playground equipment today. He did have a few tears but was up and going about 30 seconds later. He has quite a bruise on his forehead. Then we were back home and he was going in and out the back door and fell down and scraped his forehead on the cement right below the first bruise (no crying this time). Then, to top it off, I was washing him up this evening (probably our last night without a bath) and I kept trying to scrub this "dirt" off his palms and realized there were at least 6 splinters in his hand. Doesn't care, didn't even bother him, the kid is tough as nails. Ryan says he may beat him up some day. I guess he maybe got the splinters on the fence when he was pounding on it trying to get the neighbor boy's attention. Case NEVER stops, he only slows down to sleep at night and we don't even wonder why the little guy sleeps at least 12 hours a night. He is the most curious little kid, amazed by even the littlest things. I enjoy watching him experience new sights, sounds, thoughts, etc. We are so truly blessed and I love Case to pieces. Precious little boy...

Green Shoes

My Little Man...

LOVE my mini-swing set :)

So, this mamma MAY have a slight obsession with toddler shoes. I have said for 14 months that we can't accessorize with bow & tutus but we can rock some cute shoes :) We have been busy playing outside and enjoying the sunshine. Case has the most PALE skin ever though and gets pink even with his "fishing" hat on and spf 100 sunscreen, poor kid. Hopefully he will get his mommy or daddy's skin SOME day :) Have a great week everyone!
