Austin's New School Year!

Austin started his first day of school a week before Emily! He eats his Pop Tart (aka: tot tot) every morning! I can't believe he is already two!

Birthdays!!!

We had the kids party at another park in town. They had a blast! Family came in town and we had a crawfish boil afterwards! They are getting so big!

Austin doesn't do anything with out that blue "Baby"!

We took the kids to a local park so I could take some pictures! We had a blast!

Updating!

Well the Rutledge family has not fallen off the face of the earth! I am working on getting pictures downloaded to our new computer and then I will attempt to upload and catch everyone up!

Misc Pics!

We went to the Fishery in Athens, this is Emily's "First Fish to Catch"

Those fish could swallow my kids whole!

My happy boy-he doesn't like hats:( I think they

are so cute, but he does not like anything on his head!

Sweet Baby Boy!

Mitch and Emily on the merry go round at the Boardwalk in Shreveport!

I tell her all the time, he will be bigger than you one day!

She loves him but doesn't love to share-he will out grow her VERY SOON!

General Update!

I know I have been very bad about keeping you all up to date with what is going on in our world!

I will post pics soon, but here is what has been going on.

Emily and Austin are getting ready to start a new daycare. Emily starts on June 8th and Austin on August 17th.

Austin will be one on Wednesday June 3rd:( :( :( I think I am going to cry! He is about 22 lbs, crawling, pulling up on everything, and eating big people food! His first "real" meal was roast, carrots, potatos, rice, and gravy! Emily doesn't eat all of that yet! He is wearing 12-18 month clothes and his feet are still so fat that socks and shoes just won't fit! Good thing it is summer!

Emily-what can I say! She is my diva and getting very sassy! She is such a sweet child and very loving, but can be sassy-I can't imagine where she got that from?!? She will be four on June 23rd and we are having her party this Saturday at the gymnastics center here in Tyler! She is so excited! I have enrolled her in a summer dance class for the summer to see if she will like it for the fall! She only weighs in at 30-31 lbs and wears anywhere from 24 mths to a 4T-girl clothes are so different than boys! She has an imagination, we have a purple camel named Sally, a dog named Rover (I named him), a cat named Fluffy (I named him), and what use to be a flamingo now turned "big girl" named Angela that live at our house! When the dog and cat came about those were the first names I could come up with so that I could remember them! She came up with Sally and Angela!

We bought a camper last week and took it out for the first time over the weekend! We went to Cedar Creek Lake and had a pretty good time once we got the hang of things! Emily got to name the camper, so she decided on Flip Flop! We have two more trips planned, so keep us in your prayers-I am going to have to learn about being an outdoors woman!

Keep your eyes out for pics, I will post them soon!

Easter Pictures!

My Beautiful Princess!

Who would have thought a leaf would be so interesting:)

One of the best ones of him and it is on the front porch! Go figure!

My sweet angels!



Bubbles, what an interesting thing!




Well we decided to take our own Easter pictures this year! Now I know why I usually pay others to do this for us! Tyler has a place called The Children's Park and it is really for picture taking and relaxing-there aren't swings or slides, just a peaceful place. We had a really good time and literally took over 200 pictures on the digital camera, but only had a few keepers. I just kept clicking away in the hopes of getting one of each child individually and one of them together. Then we came home and took some in the front yard-we would have done just as well staying here, but it was a fun afternoon. We even brought a bubble machine with us-Austin was very interested and confused about them!
