Fire Station

We're lucky to have a fire station right in our neighborhood and hear the sirens all the time. We attempted to go to the fire station last week to meet real firemen and look at the trucks, but once we got there, he was too scared to even go into the garage where the trucks were. So yesterday, he heard the sirens and said to me "Mom, go see fire truck. Be real brave." So we loaded up the wagon and walked over there, picking up our buddy Mac along the way. He'd over come his fear I guess, and they had a blast climbing all over the fire truck and playing with the firemen. They were all SOOO nice and took time to show the kids all around the trucks.

Happy Mardi Gras!

We had a very busy Mardi Gras weekend! Check out our slide show and all of our activities. Two parades, a basketball game and a baseball game...fhewwwwww....

Waffle Cone Wednesday

TCBY now has Waffle Cone Wednesday with $0.99 waffle cones on Wednesday night. I have a feeling we'll be there a lot this spring and summer.

Taylor's New Mailbox

Taylor got his very own mailbox today with a letter from BB in it. He was very excited and can't wait to get more letters. BB promised to give send him candy and toys. Thanks BB.

New Baby Tracey on the Way!

I'm 14 1/2 weeks pregnant and we're very excited about the newest Tracey that will be arriving late summer (due August 13). Taylor was with me for one of my ultrasounds and thought that it was Baby Beluga (a series of children's books about a beluga whale) on the screen so that's what he calls it. When I ask him where Baby Beluga is he says "on the TV at Paw Paw's office" (the ultrasound screen). When I told him yesterday that when we picked Baby Beluga up at the hospital we had to give it a new name and asked him what he would like it's name to be, he said he wanted it to be a sister and he wanted to name it Lightning McQueen.

Mom and Dad have some different ideas for names but are very excited either way. We'll find out the sex in late March and will for sure let everyone know. We've got lots of goals for Taylor though before the baby gets here (1. get into a big boy bed b/c we need the crib, 2. learn to swim, 3. potty train) so we'll be very busy during the first part of the summer.

More updates to come. XOXO

Water Golf

We golf all the time, everyday, sometimes all day long. So a rainy morning was no different. He especially likes hitting balls out of the water and making a big splash!

Bug Catching

Grandma got us a couple of fish (which are now happily enjoying life at the LSU lakes). She also got him some fish nets scoop them up with. So they have conveniently become bug catchers. On this particular evening, the moths were so severe, we also needed to wear our Elmo elbow pads. It's a jungle out there...in the backyard.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day! We sent a Valentine out to all of our extended family with this picture. Hope everyone shares lots of love this year!

Christmas 2008

We had a great Christmas with a super quick trip to Austin. Taylor had lots of fun opening presents and loved talking about the whoel process with Santa and the reindeer and baby Jesus in the mainger. We can't wait until next Christmas!
