18 Month Pictures!

Tatum and Linkin turned 18 months on July 2nd, so we went out to a park and took some pictures. We love the pictures and they did so good! It was fun to just let them play on the slides and swings. They are getting so big... we can't believe 18 months have come and gone! Here are a few of the pictures that were taken, wish I could post them all, but there were sooo many... hope you like them!

Not that anyone still reads this...

I am not sure anyone still reads this, but that is probably because I have been horrible at updating. Well, some big news... this is Timorie, she was born yesterday June 15th. She weighed 8lbs 9oz and is 22 inches long! Big Girl!

Oh, she is my brother's baby girl! BRET and JES welcome Timorie Prinz into this world at

8:04 PM Congrats big brother! Also, Bret's birthday is June 15th and Jes's birthday is June 15th, so their family of three have the exact same birthday... what are the odds?

The rest of these pictures I took this past Sunday. I thought they looked so cute ready for church. Tatum and Linkin are getting so big!

Nursery only three more Sundays, not that we are counting or anything ha ha!

Oh my goodness!!

So, last night Mark and I put Tatum and Linkin to bed and then I asked him to adjust my back... while he was adjusting me we heard Linkin gagging in the bedroom. A lot of parents would be concerened, but... our two little darlings have taught themselves how to gag themselves with their fingers to the point of throwing up... yes... Bulimic 16 mo olds! Anyway, we ran into the room to stop Linkin from doing it and it was too late he had already (you know) on the carpet. So, I was cleaning it up and Mark was leaning over Linkin's crib when Tatum fell out of her crib!! (Good parenting huh!!) The cribs are on the lowest setting and she managed to swing her leg up on top and pulled the other one with it and toppled over. My heart stopped! Can you believe that? I am so glad I was in the room when it all happened!! So, Mark unscrewed the rail and took it out and now her mattress is sitting on the ground in her crib! What a monkey girl! Crazy times~

Finally an Update!

So, here is an update of pictures that we have been meaning to post for awhile. Tatum and Linkin are getting so big! They love to learn new things, dance to music and to laugh! It is so funny how much they want to learn and copy, although they are not really talking yet...

Love to go for a stroll in our wagon

Getting so Tall

Tatum loves her mini-quad

Getting ready to go down the slide... such a pretty girl

Silly Boy!

Here are some pictures of our backyard. After about a month of construction, they finally finished it and we love it. Tatum and Linkin love to have the screen door open so they can run in and out.

Sorry, it's been a while!

You would think that I would have no problem updating this blog since I stay home with Tatum and Linkin all day! However, these past couple months have been pretty busy for us. Mark and I have been getting his office ready so he can start seeing patients, which he can in the next couple days YEA!! We have had workers in our backyard for 3 weeks installing our landscaping, and they finally finished. I will post a picture once I take one of the finished product. It turned out really nice, just took forever! Mark's sister, Kyndall, is engaged and is getting married next Friday, March 13th. We are so happy for her and Tyson. He is such a great guy!

This is one of their pictures they took up in Utah! They look so good together!

Tatum and Linkin are getting so big! Tatum now has enough hair to put in a pony tail or two little pigtails! I will post pictures of them as soon as I transfer them from the camera! Hope all is well with everyone!

One Year Pictures

Okay... so I know I have been a huge slacker with updating the blog. I hope to do better now!! We are loving it in our new home in Surprise. I finally got all the walls painted, but there are some rooms that I am going to do a design, but that will come in time. We are, finally, getting the backyard landscaping put in, and I know that Tatum and Linkin are going to love it because they love going to the park and running around. Mark is getting his office together and he will be able to start practicing in the next week or two and I am coaching volleyball for Club Arrowhead and still doing the "in home spa escapes" which I absolutely love! I still can't get over it... my babies are one!! We had some family pictures taken a couple weeks ago by the AMAZING Natalie Montez!! She does amazing work. If you are in the valley and looking for a photographer, I highly recommend her! Here are a couple pictures...
