My sweet baby

Back in June I decided to chop my finger off. Not really, but I did cut my finger to the bone with a butter knife! It was great. Anyways, I had just gotten the kids out of the bath, so I threw clothes on them and drove us to the ER clinic close to our apartment. When I opened the door to the clinic my sweet baby stopped in the door way, would not move and said "Oh No, what is wrong with me now!"

How precious can you get. He is so used to us rushing him to the ER. You have to love that boy. He is so wonderful!

My girl

I can never get enough of her.

Audrey found some ear rings of mine. I never wear them so I let her have them. They are loops with pink stones. She is so proud of them.

Love this church

I have this adorable listing out in Manvel. Across the street is this old church. I LOVE going out there and sitting under the trees. This church is so peaceful and scenery is beautiful.

Ballet and Birthdays!

My little girl had her first dance recital. And it was on my birthday! It was so awesome seeing her up there. She did great and was so excited about all of it.

It was the best birthday present ever!

I got to go up on stage and take her flowers. She was so incredibly adorable.

They danced to a song from the Sound of Music.

Aunt Sarah and Audrey

She had such an audience. My parents and sister, Derik's mom and aunt, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Ronnie and the greatest cousin- Ryan.

Travis was so cute. It was really hard to keep him from screaming out Sissy when he saw her up there.

I wasn't quick enough to get Bubba giving Sissy a kiss.

I look horrible! I had been crying. It is so hard to believe that my babies are so grown up.

My babies with me on my birthday. They are all I need. As long as I have the 2 of you, I am the happiest woman on earth. I love you both so much you will NEVER know. You make me feel so special. Travis never stop telling me how much you love me. Audrey never stop being the lite of my life- you saved me.

My cousin (or now as I call her my twin cousin) and I have birthdays just days apart. Monica and I took her kids to Kemah. As usual I never stopped laughing. Her girls are so much fun. Monica- I cannot believe Lauren is 19! And the most beautiful thing I've seen.

Everyone thinks Mon and I look so much alike. They never believe we are just cousins.

Sweet Skylar.

I love you Mon. I thank God for you every day. Thank you for putting up with me!

Summer Days

Audrey has learned to swim with out the floaties. Well it is more of a doggy paddle. She is very proud.

When it comes to these kids, I think my dad loves them more than he did me and my sis. My dad doesn't allow us to eat any food around Travis that he cannot have. He has mastered the cake for Travis to eat, and we all actually like it. He drives to Sugar Land to buy Travis his special bread, cookies and other foods that he needs. He is the greatest grandfather in existence. I could not ask for a better grandfather for my kids!
