Round Rock, Texas

My brother, Bret, came to Texas to play a baseball game against a team in Round Rock (about 2 1/2 hours from us), so we decided to take a trip down to see him. Bret had not seen the babies yet because he has been gone with baseball the whole time, so it was fun to see him. This was Tatum and Linkin's first baseball game ever and they did really well for a 7:00 PM start (which is when we feed them last and put them to bed). We had a lot of fun and wish we could have stayed longer. We think Uncle Bret had fun too!

Chillin' in my own chair It was a little hot out, can you tell????This is what they are paid to do??? Bret was called in to clean up another player's mess. 1 out and bases loaded! He did great and got the save!

Sweet Tatum

Tatum is so funny! She makes us laugh all the time with her funny noises. She has started babbling with food in her mouth, which is not fun for the person trying to feed her, but it is pretty funny. She is so sweet and loves to give kisses. Here are some of my favorite pictures of Sweet Tatum!

Picture with Mommy Pretty Smile I love this picture... Can you tell I Love her so much!!! Being comforted by Linkin Pretty Girl Here she is talking away like normal!

The Many Smiles of Linkin

Linkin has so many different smiles! He smiles all the time, especially for the camera. Tatum smiles all the time too, but when the camera comes out she looks at it trying to figure it out! So, here are some of my favorite pictures of Linkin with all his different camera smiles!

Laughing at Mommy Eating yummy sweet potatoes Crawling to get the camera Sweet boy Big Smile This has to be one of my favorites because it is such a funny smile This is how I found him in the morning, he must have been playing peek-a-boo with his stuffed animals

5 Incredible Years

July 12, 2008 we celebrated our 5th Wedding Anniversary. What an amazing 5 years it has been with many wonderful memories created. I am so grateful for such an incredible husband who, I think, is the absolute best. He makes being married so easy, fun and always exciting. I know that I am so lucky to have found Mark because he is so amazing! I love him soooo much! I just hope all of you are as happy as I am because you deserve it!

4th of July Weekend

We had such a fun weekend. Mark's mom, Sheri, came in town for a few days and it was so much fun. We went and took their 6 month pictures, had a 4th of July BBQ with our good friends Jon, Launa and their three boys, had Woolley's (the best frozen custard ever), had Shaved Ice, and just hung out and played with the babies! Sheri is such an amazing Grandma and the babies just love her so much... they were sad to see her go. So was I, the help was soooooo nice. Here are a few pictures we took to capture the weekend.
