WELCOME BABY JORANAI!

I am officially an aunt! Sure my husband's brothers have lots of kids, but I finally have a niece of my own after 24 years of waiting! :)


My gorgeous niece was born on June 19th at 10:55 am (Cambodian Time).

8 lbs 7 oz.

20.8 inches long


She's pretty much the cutest thing EVER!


Momma did wonderful and went all natural. What a strong woman. I love this little girl so much already. My brother is going to be such an amazing daddy.
I can't wait to meet you and hold you, Joranai!

"Happy? Easter!"

So you may be wondering why I put a question mark at the end of happy ...

Nannan bought the boys new Easter outfits, and I thought they were just so darn cute that I wanted to get some pictures of them. Well, the boys were NOT cooperating. I thought this was hilarious. They were both crying in the exact same position.



We really did have a happy Easter though :)

Here is Tayson Easter Egg Hunting



The pictures I got of the boys in their outfits that were actually good ones :)



The boys opening their Easter Basket. Starting next year I'll do an Easter Basket for each of them, but this year I didn't have a whole lot to put in Logan's, and Tayson does eat very much candy (like hardly any), so I put Shane's and my candy in the boys' basket with their toys and Tayson's snacks. :)

Look Who's Talking ...


So Tayson has been saying words here and there for a while now, pretty much since he was 14 months old. His first word was "dada" ... go figure. :) He's pretty much a daddy's boy, unless he gets in trouble and is mad at Daddy or if he's not feeling well, then he's all Momma's. Anyway, it's been a slow process, but he's been saying more and more lately. I just wanted to keep track of some of the words he says now.

Papa (Poppy)

Hush (Horse)
Da (Dog)
Peesh (Please)

Cukee (Cookie)
Bebe (Baby)

Mou (Mouth)
Wewe (Wee Wee Wee)
Bush (Brush)
Tee (Teeth)

These are the animal (and not so animal) sounds he knows.

Quack Quack (Duck)
Grrrr (Dinosaur)
Meow (Cat)
Bock Bock (Chicken)
"SNAP!" while clapping (Alligator)
Moo (Cow)
Sssss (Snake)

"Nu Nu Nu" (no no no) while wagging his finger (Daddy)
"Waaa Waaa" (Baby Logan)

Other cute things he does.

Call someone crazy by twirling his finger by his ear and then pointing
Knuckle sandwiches
Bites momma's piggies (toes)
This little piggy, but he only gets the first one done before "WE WE!"
Scratches his chin and says "hmm ... " then points in the air and says "Aha!"
Tries to pop daddy's back like momma does
Scary Face
Stink Eye

And he's SUCH a WONDERFUL big brother. Here are some things he does with Logan.

Asks to hold baby Logan and wont let me take him once he's holding him
Always has to throw away both his and Logan's diapers
When Logan is crying he comes and pulls me over to have me comfort Logan
Will stop in the middle of playing and come give Logan kisses and then play again

I love my amazing little boy so much and can't believe how big he's getting! He's always making me laugh and smile. He makes life so much better :) I LOVE YOU TAYSON REX!!!

Playin' in the Park



Daddy the Stylist

Tayson did an ok job sitting still for Daddy. We've always taken him to a salon to get his hair cut, but daddy did it this time. He did a good job. Thanks Daddy!

Tayson's First 6 Months Of Life!
