More Birthday Pics...

Here are some more funny and cute pictures from the weekend.

A Very Happy Birthday!

Well, Tate and Emmy are officially 1 year old! This year has flown by and they have made so many changes. We went to Chuck E. Cheese on Friday night for dinner and we had a party at the house on Saturday. They had a great time with all the wonderful friends and family who came to see them. We see how truly blessed we are to have two happy, healthy children. Thank you to everyone who made this past year so special to us.

Here are some pics of the kids in thier new wagons. Uncle B and Auntie M gave them a wagon for the house (and they do love it, Emmy is just having a moment).




And, Boots, Banty, Uncle Rooster and Aunt Courtney gave them a wagon for the wedding and the ranch. They are great alternatives to a stroller.

Happy Birthday Princess!

Here are some pics of Emmy...


She was not so crazy about Chuck E. Cheese. She liked a few of the rides, but it took a while for her to warm up to them. She really liked the pizza. :) She was not sure what to think about the cake and did not get much of it in her mouth or hands (but Tate did manage to get blue icing on her!) Brad put some cheerios on top and she picked them off! She really liked the princess chair and all her new clothes.

Happy Birthday Tater!

Here are some birthday pics of Tate.
Tate enjoyed all of the birthday celebrations. He especially liked Chuck E. Cheese and the Bob the Builder ride. I think we spend $20 just keeping it going for an hour! :) He also enjoyed his party and cake. He had blue icing EVERYWHERE
(next year I will be sure to get all white icing!)!!! Brad and I bought him a basketball goal for his birthday and he is picking it up fast. He also enjoyed the chair Mimi bought him.

Some Random Pics

Here are some pictures from Uncle Rooster and Aunt Courtney's camera. Some are from Easter and some are a little more recent. Tate is wearing Brad's t-shirt from when he was little. So Cute! :)

Also, here is a picture of Brad and I at Prix de West.

Peek-A-Boo and Sleeping Beauty

Emmy has also learned the art of Peek-A-Boo. It is funny that both her and Tate play the same way (they only cover one eye)! She is getting very expressive these days and lets all of us know when she is and is not happy.


























I had to get this picture of her sleeping.

Two Pig Tails and a Mohawk...

We were having a little fun last night with the kids hair. Emmy finally has enough hair to make into pig tails and we gave Tate the mohawk look. They have been sick with ear infections this week, but thanks to some antibiotics they are feeling much better. :)

Here is a picture of their matching 4th of July outfits.

Flag Shirt

These are a few pictures for Aunt Laci of Emmy's new red white and blue shirt.

Father's Day...

Well yesterday was Brad's first official Father's Day. We went to church and then went out to lunch to celebrate. The kids and I made him a shirt for Father's Day.



As most of you can imagine, paint and two 11 month old children do not mix well together! :) We got the shirt done and he loved it! Here are some pictures of the entire process and the outcome!
