Let me introduce.......

Nicholas Rhett
My brother Rhett and his beautiful wife Nicole welcomed their son, Nicholas, into the world on May 12. He is a beautiful, healthy little boy. I met him today while the kids were at school. Newborns just amaze me. So very tiny. He is, of course, the 2nd most beautiful little boy I have ever seen (Jackson has to be #1).
Here are some pics I took in between holding the little angel-

The proud Daddy

I love this, both of their mouths are wide open. :)

My cutie patooties! :)

Last week the kids and I discovered a little park area and a cool little bridge. There is no playground just some picnic tables but we are always looking for somewhere new to explore. I am eventually going to tire of the Botanical Garden & Zoo. Anyway, after nap today we headed out to give it a shot. We were probably not there much longet than 45 minutes but it was nice. It was still a little muddy in spots from all the damn rain we've had lately but I really enjoyed it and they had a good time. Most of my pics turned out just a little too dark but I think with a little Photoshop "know-how" we'll be in business. That will come soon. Very soon I hope!

My new favorite!

We found a ladybug crawling on a bench. Look close and you might just see it. :)

I love how she has her sweet little hand in her pocket!

This is the "Best Pal" pose. Adorable. :)

Family Day Pic's (Part 1)

Today we were scheduled to meet our friends Alesia & Barbara at the Botanical Garden for our 2nd Anniversary Family Photo shoot. We are a few weeks late as our actual Anniversary was on April 16 but we got it done. Thank you Bab's & Alesia!!!! It looked like we would have to postpone longer because the Weather Radar did not look good for us. We ended up having really bad weather including tornadoes in the afternoon but we had almost an hour in the morning and it was plenty of time. I took close to a hundred pic's of the kids myself and they both had cameras going. This is going to be a lot of pic's to go through but I can't wait!
Kevin is going to pick up a CD of all (hundreds) of the shots they took sometime Monday so I have not seen anything yet but Alesia said they got some great shots. Yea!! I thought it would be easier this year to keep control of the kids but I was wrong. Jackson was a wild man. They were not interested in following any direction but they're toddlers, right? Seriously though, they were wonderful. I love my babies and I can't wait to see their beautiful pictures.
Here are some I took. This first one of Isabel is my favorite but as their Mommy, I love them all.

Showing off her "business". Literally. ;)
Silly girl
