Family Pictures 2008

These are our first professional family pictures…ever! I think its the perfect timing now that we are complete with the 5 of us! The truth is, I refused to have my picture taken because I was self concious when I was 40 pounds over weight. If you saw most of our personal pictures, you would know why, but I also look angry in them because Nicki would catch me off guard and I would not be smiling. Click on the thumbnails below to see the full size picture, then click on that picture to see the whole thing (its complicated :) ). We took several poses, but these are the one’s we puchased.

Happy Birthday Tristan!!!

Happy Birthday to my little man, Tristan! He turns 2 today! We celebrated last night at Chuck E Cheese with a few family members and had a blast. Thankfully the rides Tristan enjoys weren’t the most popular…it was CRAZY!

Tristan is a personality in himself. He totally demonstrates how two children can be so different. He and his older brother are worlds apart. Fortunately they get along great, both demonstrate their love for each other and for their new sister Hailey. Tristan is wild and crazy and into everything, but he has that special little look that helps him slip by trouble from time to time. One of the most special things that I love about Tristan is his little (but big) hugs. He runs up to us, wraps his short arms as far around our shoulders as he possibly can and then starts patting our backs (usually the top of our shoulders because he has short arms). Its one of the cutest things I’ve ever experienced…he is so genuine. He recently started to learn how to pray when we eat together, he roughly says Jesus, Thank you, Food, and AMEN! He says Amen really good.

So once again, Happy Birthday buddy! Love Mommy and Daddy.

My Son Is Talented

I am always amazed at what Gavin, my 5 year old, can do. Especially when it something that I have never been able to do. Its funny if you take your eyes off of your kids for just a short amount of time, they can get create a mess like Tristan did HERE but when you turn your head, they could surprise you too! Gavin built this log cabin all by himself…funny thing is, I was bored the other day, these were sitting out and I tried to build one and I couldn’t! I was showed up by a 5 year old.

Join the Conversation: Brag on your kids a little today, what is something they do really well?
