THREE YEAR PICTURES

I took Tegan's 3 year old pictures today. She did so great and cooperated so well(not very common for her at picture time). She is getting so big and looks so grown up and is looking more and more like her daddy!!!!

Happy 3rd Birthday!!!

Tegan turned three on Saturday, June 6. We had a really fun party and day for her. She had lots of cousins and friends who came to help her celebrate. We had a Little Mermaid/Under the Sea party. We played some games and did a pinata...the kids really had a great time. The biggest hit though was one of the presents my(morgan's) parents got for her. The bought one of those bouncy rooms that has a slide on one side...the kids had a blast in it. All the parents seemed very grateful for the bouncy room because it wore all their kids out, so they all slept very well last night. Thanks to all who came and helped make the party a success for Tegan. Thanks to Nana & Papa for letting us have her party at their house, and thanks to all who drove from so far to attend the party, we really appreciate it.

To Tegan: We are so grateful for you, our sweet girl. You have made these last 3 years so much fun for us. You have taught us so much. You are an example to us and to your baby sister, Carley. She looks up to you so much and watches everything you do. You are such a sweet daughter and we are so blessed to be your parents and to be able to raise you. We love you dearly and are so happy to have you in our family.

Love,
Daddy & Mommy

Braves

We've been able to attend a few Braves games this year so far. We've had a great time at each game. Our seats are GREAT!!! We're glad we're so close and we can just take off and go without any plans if we wanted to. We enjoy going to sporting events as a family, and the girls really have a good time. We hope our Braves have a good year this year. We root them on every game and hope for a win each time. Some we win , some we lose. You can't win them all I guess. Here are some pictures from our games.

EIGHT MONTHS

Carley is 8 months old now. She is such a good baby and is so sweet. She loves her big sister andgrins from ear to ear everytime she sees her. She sleeps at least 12 hours a night(since 4 months). She LOVES her solid foods(can't you tell from the fat rolls?). She says Da-Da, Ma-Ma,and Ba-Ba(bye-bye). She plays pat-a-cake and peek-a-boo. She can go from laying down to sitting up like a champ. She LOVES to jump and bounce especially in her little bouncersaucer toy, she gets so excited. She's been trying to crawl since 6.5 months and finally on her 8 month birthday she took off across the floor, now we can't stop her, she's into everything. Tegan loves being able to play with her, but isn't too fond on sharing all her toys yet(something we're still working on--and will probably always be working on). She is our sweet girl and we love her so much!!

Read to Me Daddy

Tegan is such a sweet, spiritual daughter. We were just sitting around watching TV tonight and she walked into the living room with Terrel's scriptures in her hands and said,"Read to me Daddy". It was so sweet how she said it. It's so neat to see things your children have learned from watching what you do. It's just another reminder, that they truly are watching you and learning from you with every move you make.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!!!

Today is my sweet husband's birthday. He is the most wonderful father to our girls. They look up to him sooo much. Tegan is such a daddy's girl, she definitely has him wrapped around her little finger. Carley is still pretty much mommy's girl, but she still lights up when daddy comes around. Terrel does so much and sacrifices so much to enable me to stay home with our girls. We love spending our afternoons and weekends with him. He is so good with the girls and loves to play with them. Thank you for all you do for us, Terrel. We love you so much and are so happy you are ours forever!!!

We had a little party once Terrel got home from work, I made him one of his favorite desserts for his birthday 'cake'... Cherry Cream Cheese Pie, then we went to eat at Cheesecake Factory---we got the waitress and other waiters/waitresses to sing Happy Birthday to him and they brought a delicious piece of cheesecake!!!....Tegan really enjoyed having the party for Terrel, she gets so excited!!!
