Proper Planning

Lauren making sure everyone is in place before she starts down the big slide.

Practice, Practice, Practice

Sure there may be other two year olds that are potty trained, can sing their ABC's and count past ten like Lauren can but not many can do the Riverdance like she can!

Our little flower

This picture was taken in our new hometown just after Christmas day.

A Puuurrrrrrty One

Here is one of Lauren's pics from this fall. Notice the ears and tail that truly made the costume. This outfit was actually hand made by her Aunt Marla. Lauren did her own make up and all three of us had an outstanding time at Trunk or Treat.

My little dinosaur

Lauren's Idea of Fun, Part 1

Lauren loves to learn by reading, watching videos, or watching her parents (really scary). In this picture she is sitting quietly (REALLY scary) while watching one of her sign language videos at Mimi's home in east Texas.

Lauren's Interpretation

Guess who Lauren has been been watching get ready in the morning!

Hey it takes work to be this beautiful!

Spring time calls for some yard work

Almost Gone With The Wind

Our baby girl.

"Catch me if you can"

Lauren just built Mr. Gingerbread a dream house in hopes of trying to lure him in for supper.

Well, the house looked too enticing......for Lauren!

Lauren's Travels

Lauren has been traveling quite a bit lately.

Sometimes she likes to bring a friend (see picture above and below).

And sometimes she likes to just read a good book.

Sleeping Beauty

Example of typical moment spent with Lauren

You are watching this beautiful baby and she looks at you like, "Hey. How are you doing?"

"I'm just standing here looking at my toy."

Then you look away....for any reason.....for a split second, and you hear..........

"LALALALALALALAL...giggle, giggle....LALALALALALALA...giggle, giggle...LALAALALA"

"LALALALALALALAL...giggle, giggle....LALALALALALALA...giggle, giggle...LALAALALA"

So you turn around to see what in the world just happend and you see.......

this beautiful baby and she looks at you like, "Hey. How are you doing?"
