AFTER

Mother's Day Weekend :)

BEST FRIENDS!!!

UNTIL THEY BOTH WANT THE TURTLE! LOL (Notice Chase escaping down the driveway...we can't keep up with him!)

Chase had no interest in swimming (but notice his super cute swim trunks!!!)

OOOOH! A GOLF CLUB!

Chase will seriously drag this around the yard and hit the golf balls!

Daddy showing him how it's done :)

Zoo Day!

We went to the zoo a few weeks ago, and I never dumped my 2G memory card LOL Sooo, here are a few pics of the kids (You've all seen zoo animals, I didn't think I needed to post those too LOL)

Birthday Pics!

Hope you enjoyed these...his party was on March 15th. He had a BLAST! His favorite toy would have to be the Tow Mater car...he likes to ride on it, but STANDING on it is much more fun. I can't believe he's been walking for almost 5 months now! He's really growing up!

He loves climbing things. The couches, beds, any ride-on toy in sight...i'm sure his next "thing" will be to jump off of everything. The child has no fear...

Anyway-thanks to everyone who came and brought gifts :) He loves them all!

The Best Part of Being One!!!

FORWARD FACING!!!!!!!!!!! He loved it! I cracked my window and he squealed and kicked and laughed at the wind blowing in his face! He loved watching things and being able to see Kyle and I in front of him!

Picture Update Too! You Didn't Think I'd Forget That Did You?

There's Those Teeth I was Telling You About!!!

Family News Update...

Whew...so much has happened lately! Kyle got a huge promotion with his job,which has moved us back to Dry Prong...and into his parent's house until I am done with my teaching. I am driving over 1 1/2 hours every day to I.A.Lewis 6th grade school in Ruston. I started my student teaching this quarter, which is the last big thing I have to do before graduation!

Taylor and Chase are just as sweet as ever! Taylor has a new found love for Hannah Montana, and we hear about it daily. I never dreamed i'd have THAT CD on my iPod! LOL She is really getting into dancing and running around...I think the fall will be the perfect time for gymnastics or dance classes.

Chase Man is an absolute DOLL! He has 15 teeth, he is 20-ish lbs, and is who knows how tall. (yes-we haven't had a doctor's visit in ooooooh-4 or 5 months???) He loves to clap, wave, hug, and practice saying our names. So far we've mastered mama, dada, and he's learning "t-t-t" for Taylor. I know, I know...he's a genius!

Hopefully I will have more time to update, you know, between writing lesson plans and all that fun teacher stuff. I promise that I will be posting pictures since my camera is now unpacked from the bazillion boxes we had!

My Monkey Man!

I think I am going to grey early...

Add this to Chase's batch of new tricks. It wasn't enough to be a master walker/runner, he had to add climbing on top of things and making his mama's heart stop to the list!

We're Home!

We finally made it home, and are getting back into our routine...As much as we missed the kids, it was DEFINITELY nice to get away and have some alone time! Everything worked out great...the weather was perfect, water was calm, and Mexico is still just as gorgeous as we remembered!

The kids did AWESOME with my family! Chase woke up alot the first night, only because he wanted the boob and it wasn't there. The second night, he slept about 12 hours straight, in a crib! He has NEVER EVER slept in a crib (*cough cough* baby jail LOL) so I was kind of wondering how he would do! Still, it was nice getting home to them!

Anywhooo...on to the pictures! It was so gorgeous there! We went to Chankanaab National Park in Cozumel. This was our second time to this particular beach, and it was nice to return. When we were in Cozumel last time (March 2006), a hurricane had destroyed Chankanaab and we couldn't go there. We were really looking forward to going back, and it is really better than ever!!!
