Weekend with the Hintons

We are so lucky to have great friends like Joe and Gina Hinton. I could go on and on about how amazing they are but this video pretty much sums it up. Gina you are the video Queen. Thank you so much for putting this together.

3 Years Ago

Baker Samuel Turns 3
Today was a big day for us. I can't get over the fact that my little baby is 3. Where does the time go. 3 years ago I was sitting in the hospital looking into my babies eyes thinking he was the most gorgeous baby I have ever seen. Things don't change, today I was looking into those big brown eyes thinking I was the luckiest Mom around. Baker is full of energy and will always keep Tyson and I on our toes. He is a dare devil at heart and will try anything at least once. I am worried about this on a regular as he is always jumping off chairs or climbing up the highest thing he can find.
Baker loves to eat, especially breakfast foods. Pumpkin bread from Starbucks is one of his favorites but cereal, pancakes, scones, bagels or yogurt will do just find as well, as long as you don't forget the glass of milk.
Baker is an organizer. He loves to sort things by color or shape. He will put all his yellow cars together and all the blue cars together and then they will crash into each other. He likes things to be in some sort of order always. You cant just throw all the toys into a bucket they need to be sorted and then put into different compartments. This he gets from his dad.
Baker had his 3rd birthday party on July 31st and it was a Soccer theme this year. As always we had all the kids we knew over and really celebrated Bakers big day. Today for his real birthday we spent the day at Chuck E. Cheese. Here are a few pics from the party and Chuck E. Cheese. Yes he is wearing the same shirt both days, its a soccer jersey and he loves it and picked it out to wear today. Cant argue with him on his birthday. I have many many more pics to share and will do that soon.
Happy Birthday Little Man

Welcome to Chuck E. Cheese

Soccer Pinata time











And like usual the party ended with a movie in our room

6 Months Already


Brooklyn Riley
I can't believe that Brooklyn is already half way through her first year. So much has changed since the last time I wrote about her. She is weighing in at 16lbs 7oz and is 25 in tall. She can sit up really well and even has started crawling a little, or scooting I should say. She is super strong and would love for me to hold her hands and let her walk around all day. If she isn't walking then she wants me holding her and walking. She just needs to be moving.
Our little sensitive girl has turned from weenie to meanie in a matter of months. She loves to yell and scream at her brother now and yesterday decided to turn around and bite him. Lucky for him she has no teeth. I think she is going to give him a run for his money. Even after all the yelling and biting she still loves him the most. She wants to be just like him.
The bows that she use to love have become more of a chew toy then a headband, and she would give up any doll to play with some hotwheels. I'm not sure she is going to be the girly girl I was thinking she would be. She might just be a Tom Boy like her Mommy.
