Family Pictures

We had family pictures taken over the weekend. Thank goodness Leslie is so patient because Taylor wanted none of it. Everything out of her mouth these days is NO!! Tanner loved it especially riding the carousel at the District. This is a sneak peak picture from her.

Check out her personal blog at Barr Babies or her professional photo blog http://lesleybarrphotography.com/blog here. She does awesome work and has totally reasonable prices.

Happy Birthday to My Tan Tan Man

What a precious miracle you are to your mommy and daddy. It was such a long, emotional road to finally be blessed with you and you cannot imagine how much joy you have brought into our lives. Your beautiful smile makes me smile everytime I see you or think about you. You are so happy and playful. I don't know how we keep up with you most days. You love your sister so much and have taught her the good (and the bad). I love watching you and hearing all of the things you learn everyday. The way you love animals (wow you are so much like your mommy), reading, the water, building and exploring amazes us everyday. Oh my little Tan Tan, you are such a sweet special boy and your mommy, daddy, and sissy all love you very much. Happy 3rd Birthday!!!!

Meet the Robinsons

So Tanner is about to be three years old this weekend and I am sorry to report, but he is already a movie buff. I know bad bad mommy, but he can work the TV and DVD player like a pro. Sometimes he can figure it out even when I can't...Ahhh...a new game show "Are you more tech savvy than a three year old?" And the movie that has put Cars, Night at the Museum, and Ice Age on the back burner is Meet the Robinsons. He can't get enough of it. When I actually watched the whole thing with him, he looked back at me when Louis was finally adopted and smiled at me before giving me a hug and a kiss. He was so happy for Louis it was so sweet. AHHHHH, my rough and tumbly boy has such a sensitive side...I love that about him.

First Fireworks 4th For TNT

This was the first fireworks 4th for Tan and Taylor. Tanner loved sparklers. Had I known that I would'nt have wasted money on the other fireworks. Has anyone else noticed that fireworks are just not the same as when we were growing up? I remember them being big, shooting high, and lots of colors. We didn't have a fire from those (I know that has always been a concern), so why make them so weak now? At least the kids thought they were cool, that's what really matters.
