Happy 2nd Birthday, Blaine!!

Last weekend we celebrated Blaine's 2nd birthday! July 16th!!  We had a party at the park and then went swimming at the water park! He made out like a bandit!!! Daddy was also happy to have new toys to play with along with Blaine!!

 Embarrassed everyone was singing to him...

Still embarrassed...

Blowing out the candles!! 

Family pic!! :) **I love how Haizen looks at his bubba!!**

Insert Something Catchy Here....

I'm really horribly at this blog stuff! Well, summer is here in full swing! We've been making lots of trips to the waterpark to cool off in the scorching heat! We also had a visit from Cody's step-mom, Laura! So glad to finally meet her! We also went to OKC for a night and made a trip to the zoo! Blaine LOVED it!

Haizen is starting to like bathtime with Bubba!

 We also converted Blaine's crib into a big boy bed!! He loves it!

So far we haven't had any problems with him getting up! Let's keep our fingers crossed!

 Blaine also found one of his birthday presents... BEFORE his birthday!

The boys at the hotel room! Just couldn't handle the excitement of being at a hotel!

I think I see a resemblence.... Hehe! :)

CHEEESSEEE!!



 Waterpark!!

He wasn't a big fan of the waterpark!

Catch Up!

This blogging thing is hard work! Keeping up and remembering to do it seems to just add to the list of things "to-do." Buttt.... I want to be able to look back and get a few good laughs so, I'm going to try and stick with it! I'm still trying to get the hang of blogging and figuring out the ends and outs of it! Not much has happened in our world lately... just keeping busy with kiddos, school, and work! Over Memorial Day Weekend we went to the lake and ate dinner with Aunt Stina and her family. On Sunday we went to lunch at Nana Gerrie's and Papa Dan's... And, on Monday, we hung out at home because the wind was HOWLING! Fun stuff! ;)

Haizen, you finally rolled over after about a solid week of really, really trying!

I know this isn't a very good pic but, I was hurrying to catch you in the process!

You did it!!

Woo hooo!!

Now you're getting the hang of it!

Blaine, you keep adding more and more words to your vocabulary on a daily basis! My newest favorite is, "Go Maaahhh!" or "Goo, Goooo, Maaahhh!" while I'm running on the treadmill!

Blaine thinks he's pretty darn cool with his shades on! :)

This is what you chose for breakfast the other morning.... Baked Doritos and Cheerios!

Blaine's birthday is coming up so I'm busying trying to plan it, take a summer class, and take care of two kiddos, a house, a cat, and a husband! But, I wouldn't have it any other way!

And, here's a couple of pictures just for good measure!

Love it!

New Goals

I'm really not sure what to write except that I plan for this blog to just be a journal of sorts. I plan to try to capture special moments and memories and post them on to here so that way my kids and family can look back and recall certain occasions and memories.... just reminisce. So, I'll start off by telling a little bit about myself and my family, as of May 11, 2011. I am 20 years, married to my fantastic husband, Cody. We have two little boys, Blaine and Haizen. Cody works in the oilfield and I go to school full-time where I'm studying English Education. Blaine is 22 months and Haizen is 2 months!

Here are a few pictures to get started!

Me and the hubs! --- And the date isn't correct.

 Blaine then --- July 16, 2009

Blaine now --- an ornery, growing, loving little boy! 22 months!

Haizen then --- March 03, 2011

Haizen now --- 2 months already!! Growing fast like his brother!


Well, that's all for now. There's dinner to be cooked, laundry to be folded, and little boys to play with!!
