Lauren~~18 months old!!

Busy, busy, busy. It has weeks since I have posted here. Lots of new and exciting things to tell you all about! Lauren is 18 months old and I can't believe how much she has grown. She started Mother's Day Out and loved it the first week, the second week was a little harder and hopefully this week she will do better!

We have been going to The Little Gym alot lately for Birthday parties and Lauren loves to play on all of the equiptment. Her favorite thing to do is hang from the bar. And of course, catching bubbles!!

This was the night of Lauren's meet the teacher.

This was her first big day - This is Ms. Erin. Lauren got right down and went to her great. There were no tears shed the first day!
She is pretty much potty trained and will tell you now when she has to go! She talks more and more everyday and is very smart, she also loves shoes! She loves to watch Barney on her "napmat" and still misses Logan everyday while he is at school.

She has blessed our family and makes us smile all day long.

First day of Kindergarten.

Tears filled my eyes as we rounded the corner and saw all the kids with their parents, the school buses, the flag, the new shoes and backpacks. I quickly had to hide those tears and say goodbye to my sweet Logan. He was very brave and sweet. He looked so little and so big all at the same time. I can't believe this day has finally come and what a great day it was.

So let's skip back a few days. Last week was meet the teacher. Logans teachers name is Mrs. Tolbert and she seems very sweet. This was the first meeting. Only in Texas would the principal ride up on a longhorn!
Here's Logan on the first day ready to go.

We are so fortunate to be walking distance to the new school.

Here's Logan sitting at his desk, he was all smiles!!

Lauren wasn't too sure about Logan being gone and kept asking me all day - Bubba? I'd say, he's at school and she'd simply say Oh! She was so excited to pick him up and they hugged and kissed like they had been apart for several days!


What a great day - Logan came home singing new songs and telling us all about his day, new friends, lunchtime and recess!! Logan is quite excited to go back and already has his outfits picked out for the next 2 days!!!!

Happy Birthday Kristi!!

We celebrated my Birthday at The Cheesecake Factory with all the little bunnies! We had a wonderful lunch - thank you all for all of the wonderful gifts and for being together!

I love you sistah and NannyBug!

I love this picture below - this was too cute not to post!! Check out her tan lines!!!

She is a little bahama mama!!
Terry took me to Playa del Carmen for my birthday - we had such a wonderful time and my little pumpkins were in great hands with Nana and "Batball" (Pappaw). I missed them alot but enjoyed the much needed time with Terry. Here we are after landing in Mexico and getting on the shuttle bus to take us to our hotel - we look tired!!
We enjoyed the sun after the rain the first day. We went on a snuba trip - cross between snorkel and scuba diving. Terry loved it and is ready to get his dive certificate. I prefer the pool or beach. It was an adventure and I'm glad we went - I'll post those pics when I get them.

This is where we spent most of our time!!

The hotel was beautiful. It had a canal that ran through the middle with really neat shopping and lots of good food.

We had breakfast on the beach and then layed in hammocks - that is what I call a great day!!

We had an amazing time and appreciate everyone that helped take care of our kids and Mollie!!

I love you honey - thank you for making my birthday one to remember.

July 4th Celebration

We have had such a busy July - lots of friends, family and fun.

Buddies - Logan and Emma!

Logan's first time doing sparklers! FUN

Paul has lots of kitties and Lauren absolutely loved them. She carried this one around and just loved on it. The kitty was really sweet to her too!!

Swimming and little mommy!!

WHEE!!! Lauren loves her swing.

She giggles the whole time.

Smiles from Logan!!

Lauren also likes to climb up the slide and then stand at the top. Scary! But, she has figured out how to turn around and sit down and slide back down. Logan was dressed up in some costume that our neighbor friend let him borrow!

Is this Terry Jr or what?????

We have been going to the pool almost everyday. Lauren loves to play with her beach toys.
She has quite the little tan!

Happy girl!
Logan started swimming lessons and is doing great.
Lauren is really into her baby. It amazes me that she knows how to pretend at such a young age. She finds her baby and gets a blanket, covers her up, feeds her, pretends like she is crying and hugs and kisses her, she will bring her baby to me so that I can comfort her too. She puts her in her little stroller and walks her around. What a good little mommy!!!
God has blessed me so much with my boy, who is such a boy! and a sweet little girl who is so girly. It is so fun to be with them everyday and watch them grow. They love each other so much and are really sweet to each other. I know this love and friendship between them will only grow and it will be so fun to watch!! I love you Logan and Lauren!!

We survived Sea World!!!

Here we are at the hotel waiting for the shuttle to pick us up to take us to Sea World.

The kids were very excited!
Logan and Terry rode the Journey to Atlantis. I was a nervous wreck - Logan had no fear at all. It is very hard to see but Terry and Logan were on the front row to the right, they are both in white and they both have their hands up. I couldn't believe that Logan was so brave.


Here we are at the Dolphin feeding. It was pretty exciting and we got right behind the people feeding. They had a baby dolphin born this day and we watched it swim right beside her mommy - very sweet!!

We also watched the feeding of the fish and sting ray.

It is so amazing how smart these animals are and what they are capable of doing. We saw every show I think and got great seats - right up close and personal. We sat in the "splash zone" at every show - Logan desperately wanted to get splashed!! He finally did get wet by Shamu!
Overall, we had a fabulous time and created some lasting memories for Logan.
