We have been sooooo fortunate to have a photographer in the family for so many different occasions. He took our engagement pictures, wedding pictures and now our children's pictures!!! Tonight my cousin Kevin, had his first photo expo/gallery at a doctors office in Orange County. He had many photos throughout the office and is such an amazing photographer. I'm sure I enjoyed them a little more because many of them were of my kids, but those of you with kids would not be disappointed!!! He comes to you and is the most patient photographer when it comes to taking pictures of kids......which is HUGE!!!! Here are a few of his pictures.....
TT posing (I have never seen this picture before tonight, and he seriously has taken 4,000 pictures of my kids!!!)
This was Ruby's room (Jeana's daughter)


A picture of Trev in the actual doctor's office!!!

Taylor had many pictures throughout the office, this room was dedicated to her..... the big picture is my favorite of all.... upper right picture is her big old behind which she will hate later in life, bottom picture......two fingers in the nose, AWESOME!!!!




TT again in her pajamas standing in the middle of a pond...priceless!!!




This was Trev's newborn picture (almost 4 years ago...so sad) It took lots of hours to get this picture so perfect, Don's forearm was about to bust, but a picture we will cherish forever!!! We tried to do it with TT too but couldn't get it as perfect!!
He is sooooo awesome, please check out his website and give it a try.....you won't be disappointed!!! He also does pregnancy pics!!

And so it begins......

The weeks and weekends filled with sports has begun! Trevor had his first t-ball practice this morning and our lives I'm sure will never be the same. After the parent meeting yesterday, the coaches decided we should go ahead and start practicing right away. Trevor is the youngest kid on the team and did so well today, most importantly....he had a blast and wants to go back. There are 14 kids on his team and there were probably 7 dads that were helping, it was so cute!!! Trevor has alot of work to do but he did a great job following directions and you could see his brain working because he was trying to concentrate so hard. They did baserunning at the end of practice and he had the funniest look on his face and he kept missing the bases so finally on the last time he stopped at each base to make sure he touched them!!!!! After practice 4 of the families went to CHick-fil-a to let the kids play for a while longer and it was so awesome watching Trevor play and run around with his new Dodger teammates, I think we are going to love this!!!

Trev in his new baseball pants before practice.
Last night we had a few friends over for a BBQ and Jeana brought stuff for them to have root beer floats, of course they loved it!! Aubrey and Abby....

Trevor, Preston and TT....
Here is a picture from last week when TT got her first pedicure! The picture on top is from yesterday when we were at the park. I was plucking my eyebrows and TT got into the make up bag and put mascara on her lips, I guess she thought it was lip gloss!!

Are you ready for some BASEBALL??? We are!

I think our life is about ready to change forever!!! We signed Trevor up for baseball in a kind of hard core league (not exactly what we wanted) but, he meet the age requirement by 2 weeks. They have to be 4 by April 1st and he is 4 on March 17th. We just got the call that he got the team we requested and we have our first parent meeting next Sunday!!!! I'm SURE he will be the youngest kid out there and it will be very interesting to see how he does, but his parents sure are excited!!! They have 1-2 practices a week and 1-2 games a week, so usually 3 days a week. Trevor can hit home runs very frequently and he can throw the ball like a rocket but he seriously has NO IDEA how to catch the ball, squeeze his glove, or even put it on!!! Very scary considering he will be playing with 6 year olds!!! We hear it is normal for 4 year olds not to know how to catch but we will see. Opening day isn't for another month so we still have time to work with him, time for some double days!!!

Taylor on the other hand is the biggest girlie girl ever!!! All she wants to do is play with her princesses, paint her nails, put make up on everyone, play with her dollhouse, watch The Little Mermaid, brush my hair and cuddle and hug and rub your face all day long......I secretly LOVE IT!!! I was not like that at all, but it is the cutest thing ever!!!! I took her for her first mani/pedi on Sunday! Not really a mani/pedi (it was actually a $5 polish on her nails and toes) BUT, she thought she was in heaven. I have pics but I had to get a new camera when my car was broken into and haven't figured out how to download yet, hopefully soon!!!

Are you ready for some BASEBALL??? We are!
