Mimi's 75th

Saturday we headed down to Glen Rose to Mimi and Grandaddy's ranch for Mimi's birthday celebration. She turned the big 75! My uncle and cousins were there and of course all of us, Mom, Dad, Casey, Liz, Matthew and Lindsey. My aunt Shirley and cousin Julie came from The Woodlands and it was so nice to see them. We had hamburgers and hot dogs and played ladder golf and visited. It was a really nice day!
Bubba being silly and the center of attention of course.
Hayden "helping" Mimi open her gifts.
Somebody got in the cake...can't imagine who would have done that.
The gang!

Hayden's hair cut

I took Miss Priss to get her hair cut last weekend. She hasn't had it cut but one other time right before she turned 1. It was half way down her back and getting a little raggedy looking so we chopped. The lady cute more than 6 inches off. It looks way better and much more healthy.
The ends look better and her hair looks thicker.
I didn't realize how thin and fried it looked. I took this one right before we went in. I took her to cool cuts for kids and she loved it. She got to sit in a yellow car and and watch Toy Story while they cut. She did fabulous!
Just a cute pic before we left. She is such a ham.

My girl!

Just a cute pic of Hayden Kate that her daddy took yesterday. Love this little girl and I can't believe she's almost 3.

Teefy's

Jack's bottom two teeth have both finally broken through. Thank goodness! He is 10 months and just now getting his first teeth. Better late than never I guess. It's been a rough week with him. He's been running fever and had tummy issues and very restless and cranky. Last night was back to normal so maybe were through with this round. I'm sure because it's so late he will be cutting his top ones soon too, great! Oh well, this is a cute pic and if you look close you can see both the teeth. Sweet boy!

Hayden's Invitation

Hayden's birthday party invite. I think it turned out so cute. I ordered it from a girl on etsy and she created it and then I just had them printed through costco. Really happy with them.

Getting there!

This is such a typical day with Jack. This happens almost everytime I open the fridge.
Walking behind his walker toy thing. He's doing pretty well. He can even change directions when he gets stuck at a wall or door.

He is eating peaches and bananas for lunch. He drinks from the sippy cup but hasn't mastered it quite yet. I think once he's done teething he will do better. Right now all he wants to do is gnaw on it.

Jack is getting to be such a big boy. Just in the last few days I feel like we are totally done with baby food. He loved it at first and would eat any I would give to him, but I have introduced more table foods and he so prefers that. He does really well with what I have given him and now that he has his two bottom teeth almost in, he can eat things pretty good. I am still nursing so I will probably continue that until he turns one but I think baby food is over. That's fine with me because it's much easier to give him some of whatever we are eating. He is also starting to walk behind this toy that Hayden used to walk with too. He has been pulling up for a while and walking along things but he is doing much better with this toy also. I bet he is walking within the month. I am really going to try and work on it with him. I am a little sad but also ready for him to be able to walk. Hayden walked at 11 1/2 months but I think he will be sooner that that. He still gets up during the night which is a killer but I am so used to it now that I wont know what it's like to get a full nights sleep. I am ready for him to sleep through the night but I think it's a breast feed boy thing. He is not hungry I just think it's a comfort thing because as soon as I pick him up he is back to sleep pretty quick. It would probably help if he didn't sleep with us but whatever. Hayden slept with us as a baby too and we loved it so Jack is just continuing on with that tradition. I know it's a bit controversial but that is what works for our family. They are only little once and we really don't mind it. It's a good bonding for us and we feel like we are a very close little family. Hayden loves her big girl bed so I know he will get there too. No worries! Here are a couple of pics of Jack's little milestones.

Kids summer pics!

Our sweet friend Christi took the kids pictures a few weeks back and they turned out great. She has been taking our pics since Hayden was in my belly. She is wonderful and her pictures are beautiful. I am so pleased with how they came out and now I just can't decide which ones to buy. Check out the pictures at her site www.candidchicphotos.com and then go under clients and view proofs.
