My little buddy

My pretty girl

Some recent photos of my two lovely kiddos. The past 7 months that Jason's been working out of state have definitely been an adjustment. Wyatt is growing so fast, too fast, because I love this age (4, turning 5 in November). I can't put into words how the little things he says warm my heart. He loves his Sis, her boyfriend Scott and their kitty "Sylbuster" (Sylvester). He loves video games, recently got Cars 2 for the Wii. If we go to an arcade he has to play the driving games, and he's pretty good. He loves mini-golf, and riding his scooter. He's been taking swim lessons this summer. Loves to play with his friends on the street.
We (Wy & I) went down to Vegas this past Sunday to pick up Jason. While we were there we went to the Secret Garden at the Mirage to see the dolphins and tigers (last time it was the sharks at Mandalay Bay). We stayed at the Stratosphere this time, and I do not recommend it. Unfortunately, Jason lost his wallet on the plane so ever since we were scrambling with getting all kinds of wallet stuff cancelled and replaced. There's always so much to do when he gets home as it is.
Briana is living on her own and is working, getting ready to start college this fall nearby.
Me and Jason, just being home together when we can is a vacation now. But I wouldn't mind a real vacation.
To the sea. ;)

Darling Graduate

PF Chang's before Graduation

I'm so excited that Briana has reached this milestone. Congrats Bri! We love you!

Briana's Birthday

Briana turned 18! We had dinner at Tucano's the night of her birthday and the next night she had a friend party at the house. Wyatt gave her a bouquet of suckers. They played Rock Band, hit a pinata, and ate BBQ.

Christmas 2009

It wouldn't let me fix the red eye!

New Portraits

Thank you to my sister-in-law Crystal Hadlock who took these amazing shots. A link to her website is on this page under "Links I Like" so check it out. I am thrilled with them!

Halloween

I figured it was the last year I could get away with a cutesy outfit.

This has been the year of the dogs, so it was only fitting he was one too!

Love the tail.

Briana, Wyatt and Trace.

Wyatt didn't want to get into his costume, I think it wasn't manly enough or something, but once he did start trick or treating on our street he had a great time!

My Little Girl

I've got to scan some baby pictures of Briana. I keep looking at her saying to myself, Wow, I cannot believe my little girl is so grown up! She really is a lovely young lady. I see her on the verge of becoming an adult, and her whole life ahead of her, and it's amazing and exciting to see!

July Updates!

The fence is FINALLY in!

Briana and I on the 4th

Wyatt & Avery at McDonald's today.

July has been great so far! My brother and his wife had a beautiful baby girl, June Marie Hadlock, on July 1st. Today we finally got our fence in. I'm so excited! Now we just have the huge, massive project of landscaping the backyard. I don't think it's going to completely happen this year but that's okay. Good thing Jason likes projects.

Lagoon

Cute cousins! Sydney and Briana

He likes it this time!

I was sidetracked by the poodles and forgot to post some pics of our one day vacation to Lagoon. We went with two of Jason's brothers and their families. Fun!

Briana's Birthday

Happy Birthday!

Briana's birthday was yesterday. We took her to Cheesecake Factory for dinner and I couldn't find my camera. It was in the diaper bag the whole time.

Homecoming

Briana went to the Homecoming dance on Saturday. She and her friends looked cute. P.S. Thank you Crystal H. for doing such an awesome job on her makeup!

Family Portraits

It's only taken about six or seven years but we finally had new family portraits taken! Crystal did a great job. I love Wyatt's expression while sitting on Jason's head pulling his hair.

Briana

My sister-in-law took these awesome photos of Briana yesterday. See her blog and more photos of Briana at: http://crystalhadlockphotography.blogspot.com/

So cool!

Wyatt's First Carousel Ride

The first night we went to Seaport Village by the water. I took Wyatt on this carousel thinking he'd love it. He was horrified.
