One Year Photo Shoot

The Miss is One and I have finally posted pictures of her - isn't she a doll?!

In a Year

These pics were taken exactly one year apart. Look how the babies have grown! Look how tired all of the moms look a year ago! I wonder what the picture will look like next year...

ZBB

My husband surprised me with Zac Brown Band concert tickets last week and we had a blast last night! We listened to some bagpipes, the Union Guns who were pretty good, Ty Stone who couldn't have sucked any more. Rob said it was like watching a Fat Camp Talent Show. Seriously?! I don't know what hurt worse... my ears or eyes. My apologies to any fans if there are any. And then Zac Brown came on and they were amazing. Actually, I kept saying, "awesome!" During the opening acts, Kid Rock made his debut on the sidelines to watch the show. After ZBB was done, everyone chanted 'Kid Rock' and he sauntered up on stage and greeted all of us with the bird. Classy. He serenaded us with a Kid-Rock-Style-Love-Song that was indescribable. But, then ZBB started playing Sweet Home Alabama and we sang along to that and All Summer Long. ZBB ended the show with The Devil Went Down to Georgia. I am amazed at how musically talented they are. Good times... good times. Oh, do you like our matching shirts?! We are that couple...

Happy Birthday Sweet Baby!

Oh, little miss! I can't believe it has been a year since you have been in our lives. We couldn't ask for a sweeter, stinkier little girl! We have learned a lot about life this year - thanks to you ;o) Every day is a new adventure, that's for sure. One thing that hasn't changed about you as you have gotten older is your independence! However, you still love to be a baby! You are wild-natured... you love to be tossed in the air, get your hands dirty, jump in your bed, climb stairs. You are learning to be affectionate. Sorry kid, you were born to the wrong mom if you don't like to be smothered with hugs and kisses. You will finally cuddle a tiny bit, which brings immense joy to me! You are always making us laugh... you make some pretty funny faces and your tongue is always sticking out, the way you wave your hands like a conductor, your impromptu dancing during American Idol. You are so playful... legos and anything that Isaac has possession of, everything musical (especially wooden spoons and metal bowls). You are so intensely aware of everything that is going around in your world. Every day when you see the bottle of hand sanitizer that I knocked over 2 weeks ago, you point and say 'uh oh'! You love to eat... everything on our plates, not so much yours!

There are so many things that I could go on and on and on about. You have united our family in more ways than one and we thank our lucky stars for that! Our wish for your birthday is that your life is healthy, happy and long. Mommy, Daddy and Sir Isaac love you so much!!!!

Happy Happy Happy Birthday my sweet baby girl!

We're half Mexican

Here are a couple pictures of Irelynn and Isaac from yesterday. Irelynn wanted to wear the dress that Grandma Sherry brought back from Mexico for her. And since we were in the spirit of Mexico, we decided to go to Downtown Trini's for dinner. Isaac ate 4 tortillas and almost the whole basket of chips with salsa. Salsa?! This kid doesn't eat tomatoes and onions... either does his Uncle Joe, but put a bowl of salsa in front of him and he will eat it in one sitting! Some days I think that I gave birth to my brothers - but both of them in the same body! Anyway, here's how the conversation went about eating the salsa:

Me: Hey Isaac, how's that salsa?
Isaac: Pretty good.
Me: What is it made of?
Isaac: I don't know, you tell me.
Me: You look at it and tell me!
Isaac: It looks like tomatoes and onions.
Me: But I thought you didn't like tomatoes and onions.
Isaac: I don't, this is salsa. I am half Mexican, you know.
