New Pictures



8/22/07
Tyler got this new dog for his "going to school" present. Brianne just wants to crawl under him. Poor Tyler loves dogs so much he thinks he is one. We have decided that we are going to get him a puppy. It will most likely be a Brittany Spaniel so he and his dad can take her hunting. If you hear of any Brittany puppies let us know.

Another bad sign!!!! If you look closely Brianne is holding a purse in one hand and a baseball bat in the other. NO COMMENT!!

This is what happens when dad comes home for the weekend. Brianne sits in his lap and drinks her "coffee" along with daddy.

Tyler’s First Day at School, 8/22/07


Tyler woke up in a bad mood this morning so we got off to a rocky start. I went last night to meet the teacher and he went today for 1 hour to meet everyone. There are 16 in his class. He will only go from 8:30-11:30.



This is Tyler with his teacher, Mrs. Twiggs. My baby is growing up. Sigh…..

A Few Pictures from Last Week


Tyler wanted me to get a picture of his Spiderman shoes but crazy me cut his feet off. He also insisted that his sister be in the picture.

I am a little scared. Brianne loves to carry Tyler’s popgun around. She is NOT going to be Daddy’s hunting buddy.

She even knows how to hold it on her shoulder!!!!!!

Brianne, 6/13/07



Brianne loves to walk around the house with clothes on her head. I have not figured out why yet. She is growing so fast. I started to put on her sandals the other night and found that they were way too small. We have now got to figure out a good place in Montgomery to buy her shoes. Now I remember having this same problem with Tyler when we were living here before. I have discovered that I may miss TN more than I thought. There was so much more there.

Brianne is wearing her new bracelet. Finally one that fits!! She is doing very good keeping it on. At first she went around biting her arm, but now she pretty much just leaves it alone. She looks so cute with it on.

Update, 8/8/07
Well we are finally settling into our house in Alabama. After a few rough nights with the neighbors from the hood (along with two phone calls to the cops), I am finally able to sleep. I thought my neighbors in TN were bad, but they have nothing on the set we have now. Monday my neighbors forgot to put their trash out for the garbage men to pick up so they kindly swapped their garbage can out with my can. LOL Now I know we are back in Montgomery!!! I have started back to work a couple times a week. It is like going on vacation. It is much easier to work outside the home. I don’t think you can really appreciate a stay at home mom until you walk in their shoes. Anyway, we will just be glad when daddy comes home to stay. He came this weekend and visited. Like two crazies we went looking at houses and found a neighborhood we really like. It will be nice to own a house again.

So to the important part… the kids.


Brianne got her first pots and pans tonight.

I think brother liked playing with them as much as Brianne.

She had a good time feeding herself with the spoons.

Brianne is also mastering the art of walking. She can now walk from the family room to brother’s room without falling. At first she thought walking was so funny she would fall just from laughing. She now prefers to walk rather than crawl. She loves to play the “I’m gonna get you game.” She just laughs. Tonight I told her to come to me, and she would get just close enough that I could not get her and then she would run from me. She got so tickled.

Tyler is looking forward to school. He said he is going to eat lunch in the teacher’s office. I don’t think he knows that is a bad thing. I hope he does not talk the teacher to death. Be looking in the paper for the headlines, “Little boy talks teacher to death.” He will be going from 8:30-11:30. I hope he makes a lot of friends.
