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!

"Bubba and Sister"

Bubba-aka-Austin

Sister-aka-Emily

They play so well together and I couldn't have asked for anything better! Austin thinks that Emily is so funny and she can make him laugh just about anytime of the day! Austin thinks she is funny because she tends to try and cross that fine line between right and wrong. She wants to test the waters and he thinks it is so funny to watch. It really is cute to see what she comes up with. The pic posted is that of St Patricks Day in there school clothes.

My Beutiful Family

This was the family on our way to Austin's baby dedication at church in February 2009! We had friends and family in Tyler to celebrate this wonderful commitment that Mitch and I made together to raise the children in a faith based and educational environment that will serve the Lord. We will continue to follow this guide as the best way to raise the children to love the Lord, family, and others.

Austin

Our little man! He is almost 10 months old and a very happy baby! He is crawling now and has two teeth. Both teeth came in at the same time-last week, which happened to be when he started crawling. That would be a week ago yesterday! He is alot more "into" things than Emily was at that age-that must be the boy in him!

Emily

Well what can I say about my Emily. She is 3 1/2 now and keeps us laughing everyday. Her personality is wild. She is a wonderful big sister. Here is a picture that really explains her. Sassy and a girl who knows what she wants-well most of the time!

Six Wonderful Years!

Mitch and I have been married for six year as of March 8th. We have had an amazing six years and look forward to what God has in store for us!

A few weekends ago, we were able to go to Oklahoma for the weekend and have a weekend just the two of us! We went to Beaver's Bend/Broken Bow, Oklahoma. We stayed in a cabin that sat by itself on three acres and had a great time.

We went to this little diner in Talihina-I could not have come up with that name if I wanted to. It was really good, but I laughed so hard at it's name.

Also pictured is the cabin we stayed in and the dog in the picture is the one we took home which turned out to be a mess. The dog found it's way up from the highway (we saw it the night before walking down the road). When I got up on Saturday morning she was there waiting to great me. She was so sweet and was obviously homeless, so we took her home. Annie is what we named her, but she didn't make the cut. She had a bunch of puppy left in her and would jump on the kids. Emily was very afraid of her, so I found her a good home with a lady from work!

New To Blogging!

Thank you to Tessa for encouraging me to start this blog. Hopefully I will figure it all out soon!
