Happy 3rd Birthday, Dakota!

Dakota is all grown up! Here he is drinking from a cup!

All of the kids have to help him open his presents.

Amy always puts Ian to sleep!

The "Extreme Sports" cage.

Shawn had more fun than the kids!

Dakota's party was at "It's My Party" on Saturday, June 23rd, his actual birthday! This place was packed full of different types of space walks for the kids to jump on, slide down, shoot hoops, etc... We had a lot of fun watching the kids (big and small) run wild! I was running around with the video camera AND the regular camera, so I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted. Dakota was the life of the party, as usual. We love you, Dakota! You're a great cousin/nephew/friend!

Mommy and Me-Part Four

Ayden is in a new phase of life: imagination! This time for his weekly face painting he got an alligator on his arm. This alligator had a great time at the mall. He drank some of Ayden's sprite, as seen in the last picture. He slid down the slide at the playland (Ayden slid hands first and watched the alligator the whole time). He used his animal instinct and tried to eat mommy's arm. He also fed Ayden and Brooklyn some chicken nuggets from his own mouth! Isn't that sweet?! When we got home, the alligator went swimming in our bathroom sink and we said good bye to him as he went down the drain to a new adventure.

Ian Is Four Months Old

Hey everybody!
I know you're smiling too

Thick as thieves

Please get me outta here

Notice my cheeks and my lack of wrists

Mom, I love it when we coordinate our clothes

Chillin' with my homies

Ian has proven himself worthy of a number of nicknames in his four months of life. He is learning to answer to: "Boogie Two Shoes" or "Boogie Woogie" or "Bobby" or "Little Chuck" or "Chunky Monkey" or "Chubba Wubba" or "Butterball" or "Buddy" or "Sweet Pea" or "Sweetums". If I think of any more I'll give an update. He has been such a joy to our lives. Ian is so cuddly and squishy. He's got the chubbiest little cheeks (on both ends). He is very smiley and has started cooing and laughing a lot more. We can't remember life without his sweet spirit in it. Down to business, at his well baby visit he was 26 1/2 inches (95th percentile) 16lbs. 9oz. (75th percentile) and his head measured 42cm. (50th percentile).

Happy Father's Day!

I love you, Josh! Happy 1st Father's Day with Ian! He told me you're the best daddy he could ever want!!
We had a fun Father's Day weekend. On Saturday, we went to Doug and Amy's wedding while Ayden played at our awesome neighbors' house (the Dequeants). It was in New Iberia, Cajun Country! Everything was so picturesque. Check out Tristan watching his daddy get married. It's sweet!
The other day, Ayden helped his Paw-paw Spencer fix our car. It was so humid the camera fogged up, hence the heavenly haze. Check it out!

New buddy on the block

Ayden made friends with his neighbor, Jonfen (translation: Jonathan). These two boys have a lot of fun together! A big plus, his parents are a lot of fun too! Go neighbor friends!!! Their hats are actually two halves of Ayden's shape sorter. Inventive, isn't it?

Mommy and Me- Part Three

Arrrr Matey! Ye be walkin' the plank, ye arrrre!
Watch out, Jack Sparrow.
Brooklyn is the sweetest little puppy dog!

Enjoy the show!!!

The many faces of Ayden

Our Mall has a "Mommy and Me" carnival every Monday during the summer with free face painting, magicians, clowns, free carousel rides, balloons, etc... I plan on going every Monday and trying a new face for Ayden. We meet up with friends, which makes it even more fun for me and Ayden. Also, if you find the lady with the Chick-fil-a booth, you get a free kids meal with the purchase of a regular meal!! Guess what we're having for lunch every Monday?!
