the day has finally come. blake started his first little gym class! avery wasn't totally down with sitting and watching her brother have all the fun. while she did sit in the corner it was breaking her heart to watch everyone playing. her little eyes were filling up with tears and she had this frown on her face she was fighting back. when i finally gave in and walked over to her she just started crying saying that "she wanted to join the party". thankfully the people at the little gym are SO incredibly sweet and the teacher said it was okay to "join" in. otherwise, blake would have been on his own wandering around and honestly, i'm not sure if i could keep it like that.

awesome, something else to chew on.

no, it's not a chew toy?

i think i like this.

and blake's buddy on the bars. look at that grip.

and the little miss. doing her chalk thing. :)

milestones.

my sweet boy turned one and you know i took him out to capture this milestone. and a special shout out to my hubby! happy anniversary!!! i love you!

the cake...

the things we do for the person we love.

always willing to help her brother out.

oh well, he wants nothing to do with it.

i'd rather eat your phone.

here comes the laugh.

look at those lashes.

and just about the sweetest thing you ever saw!

oh sorry! you didn't want to see all 50 million pictures? :)

baseball night.

family date night at the astros game last night! i couldn't tell you what the score was but it was nice to get out together! the best part are the concessions anyway. shhh. don't tell my baseball fanatic husband i said that! ;) (i played around with the editing of each image differently. not that anyone else is noticing)

pop fly.

little man was tired. probably the highlight of the game for me was getting snuggles!
