Taylor the Ringbearer

Taylor is going to be a ringbearer this August and again in September. He is so excited and he got his first ringbearer suit in the mail this evening. Here he is modeling. It came with a pink tie, but Kristen got them a red tie to coordinate with her colors. Taylor wants Dad to wear the pink tie and be a ringbearer with him. He practiced with his tooth fairy pillow and is super excited!

Catch Up

I've been horrible about blogging lately. So this is my attempt at catching up. Here's a couple videos and below lots of random pics.

Raptors T-Ball Spring 2010 (Click to watch on YouTube)
This is a little video (3 minutes) I made of Taylor's team. Super cute. He loved playing t-ball this spring. He played two games a week all through April and May and is already asking when he can go to more t-ball games.

Kev and I got to float the river 2 days before it flooded! We had a great time with the Lowden's!

We took a little SWLA adventure on Mother's Day. We did the Creole Nature Trail, saw lots of BIG alligators and went ot the beach in Cameron. We have effectively set Taylor's beach expectations extremely low.

We went to visit our old BR neighbors, the Hazlip's, at thier new house in New Roads, LA. Taylor and Mac had an interesting evening...while longing for the LiteBright, Taylor climbed a chair, fell and knocked out his other front tooth. So we now have ZERO front teeth.

Taylor went to baseball camp at Barbe HS here in Lake Charles. I was super proud of him just for hanging in there. It was 4 days, all morning and it was super hot. He worked very hard and had lots of fun!

Paw Paw and Tyler Ann at Taylor's last t-ball game!

We had lots of visitors in May. Big Tom came in mid-May for a couple of t-ball games.

Kevin's mom came for a surprise visit and Ron Myers, Kevin's junior college baseball coach at Santa Rosa, and his son DJ came for a week of golf at Gray. Taylor loved having Dad's coach here...very cool that Dad had a coach too.

Kids at Gray Plantation on the putting green!

In Austin going to church with BB!

Tunnel time!

Splish splash...bath time!

Baby Sister is 9 months old!

I can't believe how fast time has gone by with Tyler Ann (who goes by 'Sister' to everyone at home)...probably due to all that's been going on since she was born. She is at a super fun age though and is crawling, pulling up and babbling up a storm. Her and Taylor have a great time together.

First T-ball Practice

Taylor had his first t-ball practice on Good Friday! It was hilarious and he was so excited to be apart of a team...the Raptors!

Texas Bluebonnets

The kids and I went to Austin for over a week and had a great time! We spent lots of time with BB, Paw Paw and our friends. We stopped in Bastrop on the way home and took pictures in the bluebonnets. God Bless Texas!

Bubblemania at BB and Paw Paw's!

Best buddies Tyler Ann and Peyton Lowden

My best friends!

Tyler Ann's Baptism

We baptized Tyler Ann on January 16, 2010 at Emmaus Catholic Church in Lakeway (where Kevin and I were married and where Taylor was also baptized). Her gown was also worn by her brother and was made from the skirt of my wedding dress. It was a very special evening and we had a great weekend with family and friends. Our close friends Christine and Adam Berry are her Godparents and we're excited to spend lots of fun family moments with them (their youngest son Connor is Kevin and I's Godson).
