Randomness

I raise thumb suckers.

This was all her idea. I swear.

Blair taught her how to use her toys correctly.


I think we might have a problem when she gets older. Let's hope she sticks to PayLess and Target.

Anna's Birthday Dress

Anna couldn't help but pose in her beautiful new yellow sundress from Grandma Niederhauser! (In the top one she is saying, "Peace out, homeslice.")

Nathan's Outfits

Even though the pickings are much slimmer for boys than for girls, there are still cute things out there! (The last one is just a super-cute grin!)

A Very Real-Looking Doll...

Okay, so who taught her to do this and then took a picture of it? Um... :)

Happy Birthday Blair!

Today is Blair's 30th birthday! We celebrated with his family over the weekend and then the four of us had pizza and cheesecake (his favorite) Monday night. This was my first attempt at making cheesecake, and I have to say, it was GOOD!!! Anna and Nathan both wrote their own cards for Daddy with no help whatsoever! :) (Notice the matching father son hairlines.)

More Nathan

Here are the most current photos of Nathan, taken just this morning! You would think he's a huge kid with that double chin!

Armpit Sleeping

This is how Nathan likes to settle into sleep when Blair is holding him. Blair thinks it's the comfort and warmth. I think it's the sweet scent of Blair's Irish Spring Icy Blast deodorant. You decide!

Nathan Jay

Nathan is 3 months old today and weighs 10 pounds. Way to grow, big guy!!

Anna's Birthday

Yesterday was Anna's birthday, and boy was she spoiled! As many of you know, Blair's secret talent is cake decorating. And I'm not talking about the boring rose petals and pastry bag kind. He creates his own masterpieces of just about anything you want. I will post pictures of his earlier works later. Anna's birthday cake this year was Nemo since she is obsessed with the movie. I may be a little biased, but not bad!!

Caught Red-Handed!

Anna decided she just couldn't wait until Daddy got home to open her presents, so she snuck into the bedroom while I was in the shower and opened her first present (A Bug's Life DVD).

Happy Birthday, Anna!!

Anna Marie turns the big 2 today! Happy Birthday, big girl!!!!

Smothered By Elmo!

This is what I found when I went in to check on Anna the other night. And we thought Elmo was a friendly, safe monster...

Anna Marie

Okay, I had to add one more picture. This is just too cute.

Happy Independence Day!

This is what Blair and Nathan did for the 4th. Yes, we are exciting people.

Bed Head

This is what Anna's hair usually looks like when she wakes up from a nap. The look on her face is because her Mom and Dad were laughing at her. Poor thing.

Where we thought we were moving

Where we actually live

This is actually an old abandoned gas station next to our apartment complex, but it pretty much sums up Converse, Texas.

For Jackson

This post is dedicated to Jackson, who we miss and love. Jackson, Anna just isn't the same girl without you. :( The last picture is how Anna looks when she is missing Jackson.
