Abbey in a Tutu Dress

This is Abbey, Colin's very best friend. On Mother's Day, Colin and I went to her first ballet recital. I made this tutu outfit for her as a gift to celebrate her completing her first dance class. I still cannot believe it turned out this well.

Kisses for Holly

We went bowling today with the boy's best friends, Abbey and Holly. Before we left, Tyler told me, "I am going to kiss Holly. She'll really like it." He kept his word. In fact, this was one of many kisses the duo exchange on their bowling date. After they would kiss, Holly would act all a flutter. It was so cute! I am sure it won't be when they are kissing in the bowling alley at age 15.

Cap and Gown

I am so thankful for good friends! My batteries died just as Colin was about to walk across the stage and get his diploma. Luckily, two of my friends snapped some pictures for me.

Tyler's Tumbling Movies

Tyler's Tumbling Show

Tyler hanging from the bars.

Tyler doing the rings. It amazes me how long he can swing on these things without falling or getting tired.

You can't really tell in this picture, but the jump Tyler is about to do is really, really high for a 2 year old. All of the other kids hesitated before they jumped or asked for helped. Tyler got offended when his teacher tried to hold his hand.

Last week marked the end of Tyler's second semester of The Little Gym. Most little kids go to The Little Gym to learn gymnastics. Tyler goes to gym to jump off of things. Most little kids master a two footed jump around age 2, but Tyler has been jumping off of things since he could walk. Whenever his teacher sets up a new obstacle to jump off of, he is always the first in line.

Family Pictures

My boys!
Tyler posing with his very favorite toy. His motorcycle. Daddy got him a real one for his 2nd birthday. Just what every 2 year old needs.

My first born son.

This is one of my favorite shots. It was one of the few that Sam actually cooperated for.

My little monkey child.

Tyler loved playing in the water.

I think this is my favorite picture from the shoot. It is amazing, but I think the last picture I have of just Sam and myself was from our wedding.

Graduation Movies

Colin's Preschool Graduation

Colin with his teachers Ms. Laurie and Ms. Stacie
Believe it or not it was Ashlyn's Daddy who encouraged this moment.

The three amigos. When asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, they answered an army man (Michael-on the left), a spy (Colin), and a snake wrangler (Rayne-on the right).

Doesn't he look all grown up? I am going to blink, and then it will be his high school graduation.
