Choo CHOO!!!

ALL A BOARD!!!

James was being such a nice big brother by allowing me to play trains with him. Actually, I could only watch not touch! That was ok with me, I was just happy watching the train go around and around. CHOO CHOO!!!

Happy Daddy's Day!

Thanks for being the best Daddy ever!!!
We Love you!!!

Holding Daddy's Hand


Walking down the winding path

I hold tight to Daddy's hand

His firm but gentle grip makes me

Feel safe like nothing else can

I don't know where we are going

But my Daddy knows the way

He leads us down the path that's right

And will not let us stray

I hold on to his hand tightly

I know he won't let me fall

For my Daddy is the biggest and the strongest of them all

I don't ever have to worry

When I hold his hand in mine

Because I know he will protect

And love me for all time

MMM... Baby Crack!

Mommy gave me the best little things to try today! She calls it "Baby Crack", but I think they are actually cereal puffs. First, I had to pick up the little buggers (not as easy as you may think!)
LOOK MOMMY! I GOT ONE!!!

Now, into the mouth it goes... Not too bad.

Can I have more, please?

Mommy is right, you just can't stop after having one!!!

Hacca Bothday Daddy!!!

HAPPY 33rd BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!

In honor of Daddy's hard work remodeling our basement, Mommy made him a special Tape Measure birthday cake.

There's nothing like having a Birthday BBQ celebration and hanging out with your loved ones.

UMM, Uncle Luke we hope you were done eating!

That's our dog tyler (the "or-gen-ga" one) and our cousin Willis (so he has four legs and a tail, he still counts!)

I wonder what is in all of those presents?

Who knew that a water hose and a dog dish could be so fun! Come here Tyler...

We hope you had a wonderful Birthday Daddy!

We love you so much!!!

Fireworks in May???

Last night in May...

playing with fireworks!

" I wonder what it is going to do?"

"Wow, it is so cool! Daddy said that it is very hot and dangerous. I can look, but not touch!"

OK, it may look like James is in pain, but he really wasn't. He kept making that silent, frightened facial expression, yet he wanted Daddy to turn another one on.

Forth of July hear we come!
