A day out...

A day out is really rare for me, Tatum and Linkin, so when Mark is here I try to think of things we can do to get out of the house.

This is a water fountain about 10 min from our house in Irving.

Linkin was not as excited about visiting the fountain as I was

Tatum was awake and told Mark she wanted to feel how cold the water was

Pretty girl! Tatum and I soaking up the sun

We went to a baseball game... Here is Xander running to back-up first base.

Here Parker hit the ball and wanted a triple, so he decided to take the short-cut and go straight for third skipping first and second!! We had a Rock Band party with Launa, Jon and the boys... so much fun!!

Mark and Jon rocking out! Although I did not get a picture of Jon's real talent... he got 100% on the singing part! Go Jon... I am going to call the Church Choir Director and sign you up!

Our Band, minus Launa, she was taking the picture

We finally updated!

Okay, so the babies are no longer 3 months old, so I figured I should update. We were able to go back to AZ for a little bit to visit family. We were so busy there with visiting, going to the hospital twice for two new births and family parties. I had wanted to spend time with friends, but the time went so fast... I hope my friends forgive me. So, there are four new posts with lots of pictures. I hope you enjoy them!

My Brother is a Daddy!

My brother, Ryan, and his wife, Josie, had their baby boy, Aryn James, on Sunday, May 4th. He weighed 6lbs 3oz. I was so excited Aryn came when I was in town visiting. I was able to visit in the hospital and spend some time with Aryn, Ryan and Josie.

So sweet! Looks like a mini Ryan (not that Ryan is sweet ha ha) Aryn with his proud mommy and daddy
Aunt Kristi getting to hold brand new baby Aryn!

Cousins!!

Brooklynn eating lunch! (Kristen and G-mo's girl)She is definitely a momma's girl. Brooklynn is so active, crawling everywhere and smiles all the time! She is 4 1/2 months older than Tatum and Linkin
TATE!!!(2 yrs old) Brooklynn's older brother. He was so cute with Tatum and Linkin. He was calling Linkin "Blinkin" and wanted him to go play in his room. "Cousin want to play in my room?" He was holding Tatum too, I wish I had my camera for that one! He is so sweet! Ashlyn (Josie and Ryan's daughter) holding Tatum. Ashlyn was getting so excited for the birth of her brother that she was holding Tatum for practice. (I tried to get her to change some diapers, but that didn't sound to appealing to Ashlyn!)Brand new second cousin Grady James. He was born on Saturday, May 3rd. 7lbs 7oz. He is the son of Mark's cousin Johnny and his wife Jamie!! We were so happy we were in town to go to the hospital to visit.

Babies with Grandparents

Linkin absolutely loves his Grandma Sheri. He laughs so much when she plays with him.

Beautiful Aunt Kyndall and Tatum

Linkin loves his walker, especially chewing on the shapes

Mark thought it would be funny to turn Tatum's hair bow around... so this is Ninja Tatum

Mark and I were eating dinner and had Linkin in his high chair. We did not move him at all, this is how he was sitting... Cracks me up "I'll just chill here while you eat dinner"
