The first month!

I can't believe how fast our precious little boy has grown in the last month. He is a strong little guy...always lifting his head. He was absolutely perfect the 1st 2 weeks, then he became fussy. We switched his formula and he seems to be doing a lot better. Big Brother Nolan is adjusting, but starting to want Mommy and Daddy to hold him while holding Knox. He is learning the hard way how to share his Mama and Dada.

Proud to be an American

Nolan, Maci Rust, and Reid Cunningham at the parade!

Nolan did not like the sirens or horns! He kept lifting Eriks hands up over his ears!

My adorable niece, Ally, enjoyed sugar-coated strawberrys!

Nolan enjoying a round of golf in the parking lot of Dada's office awaiting fireworks!

Cousins: Ally, Molly, Knox,and Nolan---July 4, 2010!

Nolan preferred watching fireworks from inside. He didn't like the loud pop!

Knox enjoyed watching fireworks for the first time next to Uncle Geoff!

The Big Waxahachie Fireworks Show!

There is nothing like the 4th of July. I look forward to it every year. I don't know what it is exactly...the flags that line the streets, the proud spirit of being an American, family, friends, parade, cook-outs, fireworks, and Homemade Ice Cream!!! I love it all!

I'm back for now...

Well, my sister-in-law, Emily, has inspired me to get caught up in the blogging world. We will see how long it lasts. Life is a little crazy right now. So let's get started...

This is what you missed...

March-

2nd-Took Nolan to the dentist for the 1st time. Horrible, horrible experience! Don't plan to go back for a long time. This inspired me to make sure his teeth get extra clean every morning and night. Nolan and I were both in tears when we left.

4th-Easter---Nolan loved hunting Easter eggs this year!!! In fact, we are still hunting eggs occasionally around the house.

April-

10th-Knox's Sprinkle-preparing for the arrival of Mr. Knox. The girls threw me a shower! Thank you all for everything!!

16th-First trip to the zoo this year with Alex and Wyatt

24th - Our 6th Anniversary--Crazy how time flys. We had our 1st date, prom, 12 years ago from this night.

Obviously, not our anniversary, because I was way pregnant then. I am actually pregnant here, but only Erik knows. :-)

May-

Weekly doctors appointments that were pointless and depressing. :-) I hated that scale by the end of it all!!

20th- Mother's Day Out Program. Our little Tiger, Nolan! Roar!

June-

3rd-Our precious little baby boy, Knox Benjamin, entered the world at 9:09pm. He weighed 7lbs2oz and was 19.25 inches long. He was perfect!

Big Bro Nolan and Little Knox!

12th-We celebrated my 28th birthday! I am ready for life to start slowing down. Time just keeps flying by...

18th - Another fun trip to the Dallas Zoo with Nolan, Wyatt, and Alex.

26th-Daddy played in his first golf tourney since Knox was born. ...and he was afraid he would never be able to play again after the 2nd child was born. ha! We are proud to say that him and his partner, Big E, won the tourney. Erik shot an awesome 68, 67. Way to go Erik!!

February Snow Days

Well, we set all kinds of records this year with the snow. It was by far the most snow I have ever seen in Texas and maybe ever. It was lots of fun, although we are happy to see it go! My car really needs a good wash!

Cowboy Game

Erik and I got tickets to the Cowboy/Eagles game. It was awesome! We sat in a suite and got to go on the field before the game. It was unbelieveable!!!!

Our 1st White Christmas... 2009

Nolans 2nd Birthday

Nolan had a blast at his 2nd birthday party. We had a Handy Manny theme. He loved opening gifts and all his new toys. His favortie was the train table. He still loves playing on it. He also loved eating cake! He had so much fun playing with his friends. Thanks to everyone for coming!
