Kids Pictures

Here are a few pictures we had done. The photographers we use also make these cute posters and so I had them make one for Taylors room to match her room. It turned out so cute. I loved it!! Here are some other pictures that they took mainly of the boys for their birthdays. Jacob did great because he loves his picture taken...Hayden is another story. We all tried so hard to get him to smile and he didn't want any part of it. So most of his picures are without smiles...but I think they are still so cute.

Jacob's School Fall Festival and Oct Misc

Jacob and Hayden's School has a Fall Festival every year and so Jacob was able to dress up and play games at school. Hayden was too young this year to participate, but he will be able to do it next year. Jacob was so excited to get his Batman costume on and head to school. When I told him to go and brush his hair he told me " Mom, its just sticking up because I was just flying around." It was too cute!!

Here is our little batman

Haunted Gingerbread House & The Pumpkin Patch

Jacob loves making the gingerbread house at Christmas time, so when Scott saw that there was a haunted gingerbread house he bought it for the kids. They enjoy spending the time together working on it. Hayden even got involved by eating some of the pieces while they were trying to put it together. We thought it turned out pretty cute!!

Concentrating on doing their best

The Boys Birthday Party

Here is the boys birthday invitation. I thought it was so cute!!! Thanks to Katie who takes our pictures and does all these cute invitations and Christmas cards that we have. Anyways, the boys had a blast at the party. Hayden kept going and going without a nap!! He loved the jump and all the attention!! Jacob kept busy with his friends as well. When I asked him what his favorite part of the birthday party was he said "everything." The boys both wanted train cakes. I figured since I was combining their birthday party the least I could do is let them each have their own cake. We got online and looked at train cakes. It was funny how both of them loved to look at all the cakes. Since then Hayden still asks to see train cakes. We let them both pick out cakes they liked and a lady in Moss Bluff made them. She did such a great job!! They were really yummy too. We loved having Scott's brother and his family here with us. They came the night before and brought the newest member of their family. A baby javelina named Roxy. You can see her on the last picture. Anyways, here are some pictures of the party!!

September Post

Just thought I would add a few pictures of the kids that I thought were cute. Hayden loves loves loves trains. So this is a common image we see in our house. Jacob is pretty good about helping him get it set up. What a little cutie!!

So...Scott decided to buy two NON working golf carts that looked really bad and made this out of it. I knew he could do it, cuz he can fix almost everything. The only problem I had was that I knew he would be spending hours in the garage working on these dumb things and not spending those hours with me!! Anyways, he did it in about a week or so. It wasn't all that bad, but I am very happy that it is done. The kids loved riding around in it for the little while we had it. Now, it is at the deer lease so they don't get to do it too often.

This is one of the last times the kids were able to swim. It was kinda cool this day, but that didn't stop them. Hayden has been in the pool several times, but this is the first time he had floaties and on his own. He loved it and the other two were close behind him.

I love his little smile here...its almost like he is unsure whether to smile or not because he is trying to figure out if he is going under or able to stay up. Taylor is so good about watching him. He loves being in the pool. Next year his floaties should fit him better.

Our friends from Texas came to visit and we had a nice relaxing time. The kids were so good about playing and staying busy while us adults could hang out. They have 3 as well and so each kid had their own playing buddy. This is Olivia driving Hayden around in the hummer. We really loved having them visit, especially since we don't get to see them that often.
