Ethan's Dedication

Today at church we had Ethan dedicated. He was so good while Pastor Ryan spoke. We feel so blessed to have such an amazing wonderful, son and we lifted his life up to God today. Some words that Pastor Ryan said that stuck out were to remember that God has Ethan's life already planned out, He has a plan for him and no matter were Ethan ends up in life, it is not up to us it is up to God. We know He has great plans for Ethan and we look forward to all the amazing plans He has in store for him. It was a very special day for us and we thank our family who came today, it meant a lot to us. We love you all very much!

My two cuties..I love them!

Just thought I would share these photos. They both truly love each other so much. It is so much fun seeing them together. They make me smile everyday! I love them both so much!

Baking

Most of you who know me, know that I am not a cake lover nor do I care for brownies or chocolate chip cookies for that matter, but I love baking other things. Well all three of those things are Saul's favorite especially brownies. I rarely make them (only because I don't care to eat them), but the other day I got inspired by my friend Chela to make him brownies, only because she had made brownies one day with the kids and sent some home for Saul (she knows it's his favorite). She said you should make them for him, it will make him so happy. So Taelor and I made him browniesEthan tried to join is as well (Taelor would say we made him "happy cake"), they weren't from scratch or anything, but they turned out great and Saul loved them. Taelor had so much fun baking with me. I even let her eat out of the bowl and lick the spoon. She thought it was the best thing ever. Well maybe my next baking day will be chocolate chip cookies, I know it will make Saul's day!

Ethan's first haircut

Before his haircut

His first haircut!

What a handsome dude!

Ethan got his first haircut (or should I say a little trim). Now if you have seen him lately he had this chunk of hair on the top of his head that was so long and would stick up no matter what I did to it. So Grandma Sandie came over and cut his hair. He was such a good little boy, but we wouldn't expect anything less from him. He looks so cute! His hair still sticks up a bit but at least it isn't 3 inches high. Thanks Grandma Sandie!

New Pictures

These adorable pictures were taken by my good friend Chela Williams http://mariselaphotography.blogspot.com/ I just love that she LOVES to take pictures of my kiddos and she does an amazing job. Thanks Chela, I love them!!

Taelor and Jacob

This is Taelor's friend Jacob, he lives next door and they play with each other all the time. The other day they found a pile of leaves and were throwing them up in the air and on each others head and having so much fun. It was so cute watching the two of them. It has been so neat to see them both grow up together and become little toddlers. He is such a little cutie and Taelor just loves to play with him!

Photographer in training

Taelor loves to take pictures with my little camera. I think I might take too many pictures as she now wants to take them herself. She says "mommy, camera, cheese" and gives me a big smile. Too adorable!!

Cousins Forever

Here are a few pictures of Taelor and Ethan with Caleb and Callie. These four are going to have so much fun growing up together. Having cousins is so much fun.

Car Wash

Taelor and Daddy washed my car for me the other day. Taelor thought it was so much fun and she kept telling me "mommy, car clean". It was so cute to see how excited she was to do this with her daddy. Daddy told Taelor that she needs to help mommy keep her car clean like Daddy's...well we all know that won't happen. Have you seen Saul's car?? It is ALWAYS so clean, it's like getting into a brand new car at the dealership. You can't even touch the windows. When I touch his navigation screen he has to clean the finger prints off. He is so CRAZY CLEAN about his car, that it drives him so crazy when I have "stuff" in my car. I tell him sometimes, I'm lucky I got the kids out of the car so the extra magazine, the diaper bag, my purse, phone, toys and whatever else you might find in my car can wait until next time. It's a mom car and I like to have backup supplies of everything. I am sure most of you moms will all understand (except for the few of you who are just as CRAZY CLEAN as Saul is)! But I love that he is that way even though we drive each other crazy, that is just Saul and now Taelor is starting to pick up on his very tidy ways.... I look forward to next weekend when my little Taelor gets to wash my car again!!

Caleb had his 2nd birthday at the RSM Beach Club and the kids had so much fun, I still can't believe my sweet little nephew Caleb is already 2. He is such a sweet little boy and so lovable and Taelor just adores him and so do I. Taelor was so excited to go to his party and have some happy cake!!
