Grrrreat Pics!!

Here are some fabulous pics of the kids! We got to spend some fun times with Uncle Greg and Aunt Renae this weekend and hung out with our cool cousin Sarah and sent cousin Peter off to college! Tolkien had some great pics taken by Uncle Greg and Cousin Peter. And of course we have some new pics of Talulah! Hope you are all well!



Tolkien at Adam and Nabilas wedding reception,,,, yes thats a belly dancer in the backround... Tolkiens new best friend ;)

Talulah and Auntie Peg, enjoying her new poodle dress!

Pics from home, why relax in my swing when I can sit up and swing!

Me and Mama!


Talulah and her cousins Peter and Sarah


Super Tolkien!

We are Growing!

Just thought I would post some new pics! Talulah has 4 teeth now, so its not too often that she is smiling, between all the crying from teething, but the smiles are golden when we see them. Tolkien is being a patient big brother with all of the crying!



My Grandma came to visit me! I gave her a couple snuggles!



I got to hang out with my Uncle Adam in Minnesota, he made me giggle!

Crazy dayz in July!

Hoping you are all well, we have been enjoying our summer, although its been very busy we have been watching these two grow like crazy! Enjoy the pics.


Lulah got a fabulous dress and matching hat from Auntie Terri and Uncle Aaron, we are pretty sure she loved it as much as we did!!


Tolkien liked her hat too, so he added it to his new enemble!!


These are a few pics from the kids 4th of July weekend with Uncle Aaron and Auntie Terri. Lots of fun!






So cute..... How can you not smile at these two?


Since Talulah is a whopping 19lbs these days, the bottle just isnt cutting it, so she has her own seat at the dinner table and enjoys her prunes, carrots, and squash!



Tyler and I got out to celebrate with our friends Lauren and David, Rob and Peter, and Amanda's brother Aaron, a gret time had by all!

Picasso? Vangough?? Nope....... Tolkien

So admittedly, Tyler and I are quite impressed with Tolkien's ability to draw lately. Art is a treat around our house these days, and I just love to watch him think of what he wants to put on paper and then make it happen! Truly a wonderful part of being a parent. Enjoy the drawings.

This first set of drawings is Tolkien's version of Lady Bugs and Rockets.



And now for Tolkien's attempt at a self portrait.... He calls this Happy and Sad Tolkien.



I believe this is more Happy and Sad Tolkein

Talulah is 4 months!!

Talulah Grace is now 4 months old!! She celebrated with playing for an afternoon with her friend Addison. And then later in the afternoon, Tolkien made her laugh for the first time! We caught it on camera, luckilly. So we will share it with you! She thinks Tolkien is pretty special, and it shows!!

Tolkien's Birthday!

June 27th Tolkien Ray turned 3 years old! We cant believe it! It was a pretty low key birthday celebration, but we did celebrate with some cake and a visit from Uncle Aaron and Auntie Terri. Here in all of his personallity is a video from that night. He really has some funny things to say!
