Professional Pictures of the Kids

These are scanned pictures of the ones we just got done of the kids. The color is weak here because it is scanned, but I wanted to post these so the grandparents, aunts and uncles could see them and let me know if they wanted any prints. I have 5x7 and 3.5x5 copies of them. Just let me know what you like and I will get them to ya.

Happy 31st Birthday Clay

Happy Birthday to an amazing, dedicated, hard worker, loving father and husband!!! Clay hates making a big deal of his birthday so I will not go on and on. This is one of the funny pictures of Clay hanging out of his airplane, Ace Ventura style. The video makes me laugh, it is just a little glimpse into how hard he tries at being an amazing dad by making a huge snowman for his son. We love you!

A day in the life of Miss Paige

Paige is amazing. I love watching her have tummy time at this point because she looks like a beached whale with her head up and legs straight up in the air. She loves sitting in her new little chair, she only last about 15 minutes before she becomes tired. She naps a lot through out the day and she is easy to put down to sleep. She loves watching her older brother play and cooing along to any melody she hears. She is starting to put every thing in her mouth including her fingers and she loves to smack her lips.

Fourth of July

We had a good old time at the Lone Star Park watching the horse races for the fourth. Matthew loved cheering on his horse #5. Matthew and Paige loved the fireworks. Every time a firework would go off Paige would jump and her eyes got real big and after a while she started cooing along to the music that was playing. This is the first time that Matthew has seen fireworks and he loved them. We missed you Stacey & Trent!!

Fireworks with the Neighbors

On the 3rd Grandma was here and we decided to do fireworks. After a few sparklers, Matthew decided he liked them. He looked like a wizard about to cast a spell on someone.

Shoguns

The Grahams got together for Stacey and my birthdays. Matthew was entertained the whole time which made it really enjoyable.

Trying to get the Princess

Paige's motor skills are progressing very well it seems. She likes lying on her back to try both grabbing and batting the little hanging princess. However she can only continue this for about 20 minutes then she exhausts herself and passes out right where she is. It really is quite amusing.

Tummy Time

Miss Paige is experiencing a lot of tummy time lately and she hates it. She is starting to pull herself up. She cries most of the time until she finally falls asleep. She is so fascinated with her hands. Matthew is a wonderful big brother, when Paige starts to cry he sometimes starts to sing to her because he knows that will calm her down. He also likes it when she talks to him and he loves to coo back at her.

Day 3 at Tennis Camp

Matt is now hitting the ball over the net. Allan throws the ball over the net to them and then they hit it back. Allan says that Matthew has pretty good eye hand coordination. The girls think Matthew is so cute and they love to rub his head.

Baby Faces

A happy baby enjoying life!

Tennis Camp

This week was Matthew's first time to do Tennis Camp. He is attending the summer tennis camp at the club that his Uncle Allan teaches at. Matt is doing great and meeting lots of new friends. He gets to keep going from team to team as he is being continually asked by other kids to come and play on their team. I know he is loving the interaction and Mom 'n Dad are enjoying sitting under the trees watching. And let us not forget Allan, I'm thinking he is really enjoying getting to teach Matt his trade. Paige has been great as well. Just napping and enjoying the outdoors as you can tell in here pictures.

Win win for all.

Here is a short video of one of the exercises that Matt has been doing this week during tennis camp in Dallas. Uncle Allan was his instructor for today and Matt had a blast!! This is the video I've put up so let's hope it looks OK.

My Fathers Day Gift

For Fathers Day Jo gave me something very cool. It's a cutaway out of a Fokker aircraft from a vintage magazine with a vintage Fokker flight bag sticker as well, all framed up nice. Some may not fully appreciate how difficult Fokker merchandise can be to come across but you'll have to trust me.... it's a challenge to get good quality Fokker stuff.

Thanks a ton Jo! I love it so much I had to share it.

Clayton

He can leap buildings in a single bound!!!

How does a 4 year old entertain himself while Mom is busy folding laundry?

Simple. He grabs a pair of my socks, proceeds then to get a cape (Ok he had help with the cape) and SHAZZAM.... you have Superman in his skivvies runnin' around the house.

We all had a good laugh out of this one.
