For Madeline

Our Christmas photo shoot & pregnancy announcement:

Thanks Laura for such a fun photo shoot and such beautiful pictures!

Christmas Shirt Picture Attempt 1

I got the boys these shirts last year and amazingly, they still fit! Connor's is bordering on short but we are wearing them with pride. Thanks Tiffini! Well, I tried this week to get some cute pictures of them in front of the tree and this is what I got. Chaos with a sippy cup. And by the way some of these are out of focus because I was just snapping as fast as my little point & shoot would go. Sorry. Lesson learned.

The green cup was a permanent fixture. Attempts to remove it resulted in sobs.

(Me thinking, maybe if I get them to stand up he'll ditch the cup...)

"Okay guys, stand up! Reach for the sky! Smile big!"

(No such luck on the cup.)

"Smile! No, don't say cheese. Just give me your pretty smile. Cameron, please smile."

"Oh Connor, that is not your best smile."

Did I mention this kid had a fever and a snot faucet on his face?

"Okay, so you guys need a wrestling break? Go for it."

"Now lets try to stand in front of the tree. Can you guys go stand in front of the tree together?"

"Cam, where'd you go? and Connor, where did that strap/belt come from? I thought I said in front of the tree. Can you move in front of it? No? Okay I can work with a blue wall."

"Oh Cam, there you are, and with that trusty cup. Connor, don't touch that."

"Can you guys at least give each other a hug. Oops, Mommy's camera is too slow. One more time!"

Halloween 2011

Charlie Brown, It's the Great Pumpkin!

This is the best one I could get of them together.

"You need your hat on, Brother!"

Happy Father's Day!

This was, of course, filled with POP corn, POP rocks & Milk DADs plus a coupon for a movie of his choice! Happy Father's Day!

Cameron's Birthday

Cameron turned ONE on May 8th which also happened to be Mother's Day this year AND baby dedication at church. There was a lot going on! My parents were in town that weekend but Matt's mom was working so we planned a family party in San Antonio for the following Saturday. Here is the photo evidence:

Matt's mom, Julie and aunt Sherilyn joined in the fun!

Connor really did a great job celebrating Cameron and enjoying the fun.

Cameron's nick name really could be Billy. We call him our goat because the boy LOVES to eat paper! It's ridiculous!

Here I am removing said paper from his sweet little one-year-old mouth.

Uncle Jake gave some good birthday tickles.

I had Cameron's baby book/scrapbook there for everyone to see.

I love Cam's expression here.

Cake Time!

Connor was eagerly awaiting his piece of cake.
