Happy #1

Lane loved his crib full of balloons!
Yay for the 4 wheeler! He couldn't quite figure out how to push the button to make it run.
So he decided to just push it with his feet! :)
Then he got mad when we quit pushing the button for him!
He actually wasn't too messy when he ate his cake!

I can't believe my little guy is a year old!!!

Easter

We went to our friend's the Terry's for Easter morning. Lane and his friend Aviendha had fun finding eggs and breaking them open for the candy. Lane was an M&M Fiend........a little too much candy for one day....poor kid...I don't think i've ever changed that many diapers in one day!

Scott's Accomplishments!

This was GOING to be the "rally RV" but instead scott decided to turn it into a work truck. This used to be a functioning RV. Imagine my surprise when I came home last summer to Scott and Will in the backyard. They had tied the RV to a big tree and Scott was driving the RV away and I got there just in time to see all the walls fall off. I missed the part where they tied a rope around the stove that was in there and drove away and it pulled a hole right through the wall. Good times had by all! Long Live Rednecks!!!

Scott and Payton have been busy working on the "rally car" (no this isn't the white car that used to be in our backyard) They've cut mostly everything off of it, and it still runs, YAY! Now all they have to do is put a roll-cage, some seats, and the last tire on before it can make it's debut in the woods accross the street.

Our new addition!

We are proud to announce our new addition!!!

PAYTON!!!! Our nephew moved in with us last week. Lane loves his big new toy!! And we like to have him around.

Photo Shoot

I decided today that I wanted to try taking some good Easter pics of Lane. I figured "if the people at walmart and sears can throw some sheets down as a background and make it look good, so could I" Right?? Well here's a few of my favorites. Yay for editing software!!

yay for daddy in the background to make him laugh!

He got this face from his mama

Stairs of Death

Lane has learned how to crawl up our stairs of death....he's actually pretty fast now, this pic was a little while ago

he's likes to walk down with his daddy

mmmmmmmmmmm

lane has discovered a love for red vines!!

and he's always willing to share

Walking machine!

What a chunk in this pic!!!


Well, it's happened. Lane is officially walking! His longest distance has been about 6-8 feet, and then he just gets excited and falls over :) I was sitting on the floor by the couch the other day and out of the corner of my eye I saw something coming at me. I look over and Lane was walking from the piano over to me with his arms up in the air like Godzilla or something....it was pretty funny. I'm sure it won't be long until he's full time running! YIKES!

Silly faces

I wonder where Lane gets his silly faces???

Snow!

Well we actually got some good snow this year! We have about 2 feet in our front yard, but it's starting to melt and get slushy.

TEETH!

Lane has grown his first two teeth. The bottom two, and he loves to use them to bite noses and toes. YUCK!

First Christmas!

This was Lane's first christmas. He had fun "opening" or beating on his presents, and even took his first trip to ohio! lots of fun!

Christmas!!

I was kind of a slacker with Christmas pictures this year. We did a little Christmas early because we went to Ohio for Christmas this year. I can't find any pictures to prove that we went to Ohio....but I know we did :)  Oh well.  Here's Lane opening a few presents.

Here's one of Lane at Gramma's in Ohio. I guess I found one!!!

Merry Christmas!  See you next year :)

Mannheim Steamroller

We went to see Mannheim Steamroller with our good friends Donna and Dennis.  It was such a fun night out sans kids!  Cool concert, though I will admit, I think the band is cooler when you don't see them.  Sorry,...just saying....:)
