Christmas Card Photo Shoot

We had our friends the Hazlip's and the Stubbs' over this evening and we were all trying to shoot pics of our kids in front of the tree for Christmas cards. It was quite the fiasco. We squeezed out a couple of keepers but there are tons of out takes! Check out a few of my favorite....

This is the very first picture snapped of my kids. I said "Say cheese!". Not "Show me your tonsils!".


Jack Henry insisted on the football helmet and Mac and Taylor were far more excited and cooperative to be taking a picture with each other than their sisters.


Taylor thought it was hilarious to let Tyler Ann fall over when he was supposed to be holding her up. Nice.


We would snap a bunch of each duo, then give them a break. In the last round with my kids, we got lots of cute ones. Now looking at them on my computer, I realize he has pizza all over his face.

Taylor's 3rd Birthday

Taylor had a great birthday. Grandma and Al were in town and his party was Monday afternoon at the Spider Bungee Jumper in the mall. The kids loved it and Taylor had a blast. He'll miss all his sweet friends in Baton Rouge.

Tyler Ann 12 weeks

Tyler Ann 10 weeks

She's getting so big and she looks just like her brother did!

Taylor saying the pledge...

Tyler Ann 9 weeks old now!

Texas in September

We made a quick tour through Texas last week. We stopped in Houston for a night to see the Peters and the Berrys. Then headed to Austin to hang with BB and Paw Paw and friends. We had fun with the Lowden girls and mommy even got to go out with her friends one night!

Back to School

We're back at school and baby sister is one month old! She went for her check up today and she weighs 10 lbs 12 oz. Taylor is such a great big brother and always wanting to check on her and help out. He is in a 3 year old class at Jefferson Baptist MDO and loves his new teachers and classroom since it's upstairs with the big kids. We have a busy fall ahead and are looking forward to it!

My mom took Taylor to do this several times while she was here. It's so cute to watch!


Tyler doing her thing...

Taylor's new golf clubs

Taylor got a brand new driver and hybrid golf club today and he could not be more excited. Wants to spend every second hitting them. The boy is nuts about golf!

Our First 2 Weeks with Tyler Ann

Here's some pics of our first two weeks with Tyler! I can't believe it's been two weeks. We've had so much help and could not have made it without. Taylor is a great big brother, helping with diaper changes, baths and bottles. I'm loving our family of 4!

Balloon Festival and Paw Paw's Birthday

We were able to make it to the balloon festival before Tyler arrived and celebrate my Dad's birthday with him the night before. Both super fun and Taylor came home with several cool souvenirs from the balloon festival.

Our First Day Solo

Today was my first day with both the kids on my own (Mom left and Kev was at work all day). Went great and I think we'll be a great threesome!

Tyler Ann is here!

Here are some pics of Tyler's big debut! Monday, August 10 at 7:42 am, weighing 9lbs, 3oz and 21 3/4 inches long. We both came home from the hospital today and are glad to be home with the world's best big brother and Dad. She's perfect and we're loving every second with her.

Visit from Peters' Kids

Aunt Sister brought our cousins to Baton Rouge to visit this week. They were a huge help with Taylor and he LOVED having them there. We all had a great time!

The Toothless Wonder

Tuesday morning, some monkey jumping on the bed got a little too rowdy. Taylor ended up knocking out one of his front teeth, leaving it stuck in the sheet rock. After a little bit of panic, we realized he would be okay and loaded him up for the dentist. Our dentist was able to confirm for us that he would be just fine...just a tooth short. He was very brave through the whole process though and we were very proud of him for being so tough. His new nickname...THE TOOTHLESS WONDER!

...and People are Crazy

Taylor's new favorite song...

Austin Pics

We had a great time and look forward to taking Baby Sister to Austin in the fall!

Taylor Swimming

We took swim lessons for 3 days while we were in Austin. He's swimming like a fish and does not stop once he gets in!

What do all the Mama's Say?

We went to Austin this week and had so much fun. I had a bunch of girls over on Thursday night and BB and Paw Paw took Taylor to Barton Creek to swim. Before they left, BB and Paw Paw taught him this...

First Finish

I know this video is sideways but it's worth the 22 second head tilt. Taylor played his first complete golf hole last night at the course. He played #12 at Baton Rouge Country Club and it took him about a dozen hits, including a great shot out of the bunker. At the end, it took him two tap-in's to get the ball in the hole and for some reason at the end, he just toppled over. It was hilarious! He covered it up really well at the end telling Kevin "I was rolling like a ball."

Potty Chart

We went tinkle in the potty for the first time tonight so we got to put a sticker on our potty chart, which he was super excited about. He laughed the whole time he was on the potty.

Mother's Day Weekend

We had a great Mother's Day weekend with Patty and Al. Taylor loves seeing Grandma and all the attention she gives him. We had a busy weekend filled with Putt Putt, an LSU baseball game, sprinkler and dinner in Perkins Rowe throwing "moneys in the pond". The 4th image is a video so click on play to see him sing "If You're Happy and You Know It".

Deep in the Heart of Texas

The lyrics are a little mixed up, but he get's them all in eventually.

I love Paw Paw this much!

Sprinkler Fun

We had our first day of fun in the sprinkler. Summer is here in LA!

Hood Social

We had a little social in our neighborhood this evening and they had a giant jumper slide. At first glimpse he started crying saying "It's too big for Taylor." One of the neighbors escorted him on his first ride and after that he was off and running. He must have gone up and down 100 times.
