Sorry for the lapse in time

Hey Everyone,

I'm so sorry for allowing so much time go by before posting more pictures! I guess I got so caught up with updating my Facebook that I completely forgot about my Blog. I don't think I can get all caught up, so I'll just start on a go forward basis & maybe sneak a few pics in there from some fun times! =)
I did post a couple of pictures from our beach trip in May 2009. I hope you enjoy them.

We want to go back to the BEACH!!

We went to Okaloosa, FL this year which is really close to Destin & had a great time!!

Todd with Taylor & Tyler at the pool

I'm pretty sure I can actually hear Todd saying "Tyler, don't put that sand on daddy (please)"!

We ate seafood on the beach with our friends, the Kirkpatrick's. Thanks Kellie for taking this pic =)

Taylor and me on the pier!
We had such a great time at the beach in May and I'm so ready to go back!!! =)

I need your HELP!

I need your help, please! Will someone please tell me how to download videos? I use Picasa 3 to download my photos and I can't get a video to download. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Or maybe you can suggest another way to download everything.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

Christmas Night

So we broke down and got the family a Wii and I have to admit it's a great gift for everyone!

Look it entertains 2 children at the same time and they're within different age brackets-Yea!!
Still entertaining!!

Well, it held his attention for longer than I thought-haha!
PS. It's a little difficult to host Christmas dinner and take pictures, so my cousin's girlfriend Brittany took pictures on her new camera and is going to send them to me as soon as she figures it all out. I promise I'll post them as soon as I get them (well within a few weeks anyway-haha) but it just wouldn't be me if I did it any other way! We love y'all and hope you had an amazing Christmas and wonderful Holidays!

Christmas Day

We were all pretty warn out from all of the excitement, so the kiddos took a nap! You might not believe me, but he's actually fake sleeping!! He kissed his car "night night" and acted like he was sleeping. It was so cute!

Now these 2 pictures are the real deal!! He finally crashed and took a nice long nap which gave Todd and me just enough time to prepare for all the spontaneous things that happened the rest of that day!!!!

Sweet dreams little one!

Christmas Day

After the presents were opened and we all had breakfast together we just hung out and enjoyed some new and old gifts along with some family quality time.

Tyler enjoying his firetruck from his first bday!

Christmas Morning

After all of the presents were opened and while we were waiting on breakfast Taylor and Johnny played a game of chess on Taylor's chess set that Santa brought her. I'll tell you, it was a fun game to watch!

While we waited for breakfast Tyler enjoyed snacking on his candy canes in his brand new outfit!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning my mom came over and Johnny & Judy came in town. So we watched the kidos open gifts and enjoyed breakfast together. We had such a wonderful time and were so glad that we were able to spend time with our family.

(Johnny and Judy had to leave early, so this was the only picture I got of them!)

Santa gave Tyler a basketball hoop and Tyler figured out how to dunk it. He got his stool and put it underneath the goal and slammed it!! We didn't know what he was doing until we saw him put it under the goal. It was hilarious! He's so smart-Todd & I are in so much trouble!!

Christmas Morning

We had so much fun on Christmas! We love you Jesus!

Look at that smile on his face! I'll keep this picture and compare it to the day he gets drafted!!

There were very few pictures of these 2 together. They were all over the place! So, I posted what I had.

Tyler with his Mickey Mouse that his aunt Carissa, Uncle Jason and cousins Ella and Issac gave him.

Christmas Morning

We had a great time Christmas morning!

Tyler's Play

Tyler's Daycare put on a Christmas program at a nearby church. It was very entertaining!! Todd had to stay on stage with Tyler as all the little ones sang-they both did a great job! Here are just a few pictures.

Taylor's Chess Tournament

Taylor played in her first Chess Tournament and she placed 10th out of 21 players. Way to go Taylor!!! We're so proud of you!

Taylor with her medal. Great job!

Memphis Football Game

We went to see Memphis play UCF on a Saturday when the temp dropped out of nowhere. If I remember correctly we were in short sleeve shirts the next day! We thought we might have an advantage since the Florida team isn't used to our weather-no such luck, but it was an interesting game to watch! We all had a great time and Taylor was sporting her FSU gear.

Tyler's First Black Eye!

Tyler got his first black eye!
He was running through the house while it was dark and needless to say he ran smack into the couch! This was taken the day after, but it was instantly black and blue and swollen. I felt so bad for him, but as I was told when Todd got home from work that it might be the first one, but it surely won't be the last! It's just one of the many perks of being the mother of a normal boisterous precious son! I love you Tyler!
