Chuck Taylors!

Clinton and the kids recently surprised me with a new camera for an early birthday present. I try, but I have yet to learn everything about it. I go around the house snapping pictures, no one is safe. Tristan received Converse shoes for his birthday, and they look so cute on him. He actually stayed still long enough for me to snap some shots of them. They're so cool he may need them in every color. I'm sure Clinton will not like that, but what does he know about fashion.






Oh yes, thats a trainer skate board. You have to ride a skate board if you wear converse.

Birthday Pics!

We were so fortunate to have Rachel from Lilac Hill Photography to take the kids first birthday pictures. They turned out great. I'm sorry that I can't post all 315 of them, but I think you will get the idea. I chose some of my favorites. Enjoy!

Happy First Birthday!!

I cant believe that my babies are 1 year old. Every morning I wake up to many different types of sounds, talking screaming, laughing, or blowing bubbles. It sounds cute but not always to a non morning person like myself. This morning was different. The noise was the same, but my reaction was different. The kids had no idea, but I knew I would have more patience with all those little things that I longed for a year ago. I want to hear those screams and giggles, because today they are a blessing. I decided to write the kids a letter to put in there memory boxes and I thought I would share them with everyone.




Reagan,
You are so caring. Your shyness comes from your Papaw and Aunt MiMi. You have to get to know someone before you let them in. You have turned into a mamas girl. You are very energetic. You always have alot to say, which makes me fear the teenage years. You are so smart. I only have to show you how to do something once, and you always remember. You learn by feel. You always have to touch and scratch everything. You are very dramatic. It drives your dad crazy. I love that you got blue eyes from your Papaw. You are named after two special people Uncle Mitchell and Great Mamaw Mable. You have a mole on your cheek just like she did. I call it your kiss from Mamaw. I love the gap between your two front teeth, and your sneaky smile. My love cup runneth over. Mommy.




Tristan,
You are strong and loyal. You are very independant, but always ready for a good cuddle. You look and act just like your daddy. You never meet a stranger. You are full of smiles and laughter. You are tickleish all over. You get that from me. You are sneaky and a little destructive. I guess that comes with being a boy. You are persistant. Your favorite thing right now is to open and close doors. You would do it all day if I let you. You make the funniest faces. I love happy you get when daddy comes home from work. I know he love it too. My love cup runneth over. Mommy.
