Color Red and Visitors

One day Noey's favorite word to say will not be yellow. Maybe then he will not call every color yellow. I think he loves the way the word feels in his mouth. I find him singing the word..."Yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow." He will sign red. I think this means he knows the true color? How I love this little guy.
He is also very into replacing and taking off the top to the bingo markers.


He thinks it is great that he controls this little dotted design.


What is better than your baby holding up his art work for you to take a picture? It is when he holds it upside down! :)


Our sweet Renee, Taylor, and Logan came to visit. We rushed through our lessons before they came over. We stayed up super late making gumbo and desserts. It was pretty awesome.



Happy Birthday Taylor!

Our Taylor, Eli's treasured friend, is another year older. We love you, sweet girl!





When together these two are still attached at the hip!





My Logan is growing so fast! He is in high school, he doesn't sound the same, and he is TALL! I love how much he loves Noah.

One last summer day with the Frost family

Renee, Taylor, and Logan came over the week before school started for them again.

I love my Taylor girl!

The fabulous duo!

Mr. Logan! He has grown so much this summer. His voice is changing and I can't believe what a young man he is now.

I love this photo of Renee with her mermaid hair. :) Love ya, lady!

Taylor is totally in love with my Piper girl. I have to make sure she doesn't steal her away! :)

Logan and Taylor I wish you a wonderful new year in school! :) Grow well. :)

A Good Friends Party

Today we woke up and went to the antique stores downtown. Found some sweet things for some of the sweet ladies in our lives, just some small things that made us think of them. And I have a book from the late 40's about a little duck.

We then had lunch in Antique Alley and BOY was it good! We felt like we have left town! I guess you can call it a mini vacation.

And then it was on to the Birthday Party!

Happy 13th Birthday LOGAN!

We got there early and had some nature walk type stuff until the party started. Remy loved hanging upside down on the trampoline.

On our nature walk they found this SPIKEY stick! Matthew decided that he would whip Remy with it. And then he decided that our friend needed it for her church bus route! *laugh*

They climbed up this ravine, Taylor wanted to get a Black-Eyed Susan. It was way up there...but she got it! :)

Taylor is really turning into a sweet and beautiful young lady...inside and out! I cherish my time with her and I have enjoyed seeing her grow. Elijah is as smitten with her as he always has been.

They are always touching...holding hands, a hug, anything. One of them is touching the other one. It is really sweet to watch. Very innocent and dear. I am curious to see where life leads them both. Maybe the two different paths will become one????

Logan had a waterslide party!

Uncle Mattmos got some baby Tucker time in!

And here is the birthday boy flipping down the slide! AHHHH!

This is Seth, he just turned 3. He is one of my doula babies. It has been neat to see him grow at different gatherings here and there. Once we even had him over for Christmas Dinner! I think he is just HANDSOME! It amazes me to see a baby I helped into the world. They seem to grow so much in the times between our visits. I saw his first breaths...and here he is...all grown! I think of them all as babies still. Frozen in time. It is a shock to see them getting bigger and bigger.

Here is Logan about to blow out the candles! He still has a sweet face...even though he is a huge grown teenager!

Remy and Taylor eating some cupcakes!

Two of my doula babies together.

And this is the mean old lady I have to share my baby Tucker with! Hee hee!

And a sleepy baby ends the day...we didn't get home until almost 11pm! It was a great day!
