After VBS day 3 we had a GIRL'S NIGHT at Hanna's house. JR thought it would be fun to TP the house. Here are all the girls with their disgusted lo...

This is Hazel's new thing. I knew she was a flexible baby, but dang! She loves doing the splits and it doesn't seem to bother her at all! I think we have a future gymnast on our han...

This picture sums up my day. Today is VBS day one at Lighthouse! Guess what my job is! I'm taking pictures all week and making a video! VBS is so much f...

Ian and Mommy were having a moment. I am not sure what is going on in this picture...and I'm in it. I'm just laying on the floor, minding my own business and all of a sudden I had an Ian laying on top of ...

I was taking pictures of Hazel and I didn't want Ian to feel left out. This was the picture he wanted me to take of him. I thought it looked pretty cool. He was very proud of himself that he could hold all three blocks like th...

Another Hazel first (and a really fun ride) This was Hazel's first ride in the wagon! As you can tell she had a great time! Ian I think got a little bored, but seemed to have fun for the most pa...

Very rarely can I get them to sit together or even more rare is to actually take a picture together. This was a sweet moment of both of them sitting on the couch together. Ian even has his arm around her! He really is a great big broth...

Hazel has been doing this tongue thing lately, as you can see from the picture. she's like that lizard/dragon thing on Mulan that claims, "I don't do that tongue thing!" I think its because she's teething because DANG she's got a LOT of dro...

Look what we found while "packing"! Ian loves these Clifford ears! I cant get him to wear a hat, but he has no problem with these! He even put them on Haz...

I know I probably have a million of these pictures on here, but I cannot get enough of Jeff reading Bible stories to the ki...

Sometimes you just take pictures because you know how perfectly embarrassing it will be in the future. Today Ian really like the free and easy feeling and therefore took "bareback" riding to a whole new level! Bring on the girlfrien...

Here we are in Austin again looking at houses. Actually, we are in the cute little town of Hutto! The first offer we put in for a house was lost to someone else. This time we come in with a plan! We will hopefully find a house AND have a back up if something happens!...

Today Hazel and I took a nice morning walk in the park. With the new bows Hazel was given by a friend at church, she was strolling with style! We still miss Ian even though we are having fun Mommy-daughter ti...

Today Miss Hazel is 7 months old! She is in one of her new outfits that Gigi got for her! Stinkin' girl is growing out of her clothes too fast. All the clothes we bought her were 9mo or 12...

Today Hazel and I came and ate lunch with Daddy at work. It was a nice day so we ate outside on the balcony. Hazel had a great time and was very glad to see Daddy. It was still really weird not having Ian with ...

We went for a family (minus one) walk this evening. It was really weird not having Ian with us. We miss him, but know he is getting spoiled by Gigi and Gpa....

We have had a full weekend and a full house! My parents were here early this weekend watching Ian while we went down to Austin, then my Dad left and my sister and her boyfriend came up to go to a concert. Now my mom left with Ian and Victoria and Marcus are still here....

Bedtime at the Lamoureux house! Ian insisted that Gigi read the story even though Daddy always reads the Bible story. It was a fidgety, unfocused story time, but we made it through! One guess what story we had to read! ...

Here we are, in Waco, heading down to the Austin area to GO LOOK AT HOUSES!! YAY! Jeff got a new job, we are approved to buy a house and now we just have to find one! We were getting tired so we let Hazel take over driving for a whi...

This was another exciting moment when Hazel actually took a nap. As her onsie says, I love her, but I also LOVE when she takes a nap!...

Today was David and Goliath day! Ian insisted that Gigi read the story of David and Goliath over and over and over! He would laugh when Saul's armor is too big for David, point to his forehead when Goliath gets hit with the rock and raise his arms when Saul's army rejoiced...

This was a very exciting moment in our house. Neither Hazel nor Ian have been napping very well and my mom actually got her to sleep! My hero....serious...

This morning we woke up to an infestation of FIRE ANTS in our room. Jeff was out of the house, to Home Depot and back before 7:30AM. You've seen those crazy ant exterminator commercials, right? He takes it BEYOND that....makes for hilarious pictures thou...

Here are all of our Fourth of July shirts, and no I did not make the dog one. I personally think they are cuter ON the people I made them f...

I just love "fresh out of the bath" baby pictures! And what is more cute than a duckie towel to top off the adorable baby insi...

Here is Hazel dressed in her Sunday best! This is a dress that my Aunt Patti (or her "Aunt Mimi" as Ian and Hazel call her because she is the same generation as their grandparents...ok, so it made sense to us!) My mom and sister went to visit them and brought back this...

So there are never any pictures of me...well because I usually take all the pictures. Here is me trying a new hairstyle. Still trying to figure out how to fix my hair with it short like this (which I lov...

Yes, its Forth of July. Yes, we have matching shirts as a family. Yes, I made them. YES I used a sewing machine, and yes, this was the best picture we could get of the whole family! Happy Forth of Ju...

Again, like most pictures of Jeff and the kids...I have no idea what is going on here, but they seem to be having f...

This was the WORST day of my mommy career! Long story short is that it ended with a mandatory date night and late night grocery shopping. It helps to have a good lookin' grocery shopping companion!...

On the RARE occasion that Hazel actually takes a morning nap, she does it in weird places in weird positions...or she sleeps on Mom...

Since before she could sit up, before she could really see everything on the TV, Hazel has been engrossed in Texas Rangers baseball! This makes for such a proud mommy! Her love of baseball might have something to do with my UBER obsession with the World Series last year...

I'm pretty sure her thoughts when I took this picture was, "This is the face Mommy makes when she takes a picture!" Again, like Mommy, like daughter! Love h...

Sometimes I wish Ian understood what it was like to be Mommy, I wish he could walk a mile in my shoes....wait...

Another Hazel first! This is the first time she has sat in a high chair! She is such a big girl sitting up at the table like a p...

Yup, I thought it was impressive for someone MY size to take up that much room. I am impressed, Hazel. Like mommy like daught...

It was play in the kiddie pool day at our house! It was only Hazel's second pool experience and it took her a while to be okay sitting in the water, but once she got used to it she was splashing awa...

I am not really sure what is going on here. All I really know is that Hazel and Daddy were playing and both were having a great time...right before bed time...greeeeaaat...

Look at this sweet face! This was right after a bath. I grabbed a big fluffy towel and wrapped her in it really well and this was the look I got when I looked down at her! I don't encourage thumb sucking, but this is too darn cu...

I guess this is how Daddy and Ian "play" Note the hat that Ian and put on Jeff and the blocks that are lined up on his chest. I'm so glad Jeff is so involved in playing he...

This was on a walk that we took this evening. Ian and I were checking out the little minnows that were swimming around in the creek below the sidewalk bridge....

This moment was too sweet to pass up! This happened this morning while I was feeding her in our bed. As she was nursing she was playing with my hand and insisted that she hold it. I was not allowed to let go, it was so swe...

Oh my! What is more fun than being in a laundry basket boat? Being in a laundry basket boat with your little sister of course! I was dragging them around and they were both loving ...

Wait, WHAT?! Hazel is already SIX MONTHS OLD?! Ugh, time is going too fast! Hazel turned 6 months old today. It's her first monthly picture where she is sitting up! (Did I mention she is growing up too fas...

Happy Father's Day Jeff. Here he is opening his Father's Day card with his kids! So cu...

My parents were unpacking everything at their new house and the paper to wrap all the breakables made an awesome pile to jump in, or bury someo...

This weekend we are visiting my parents at their new house in Coleman. We only have one pack-n-play so we made do with what we had. Good thing is that its portab...

Jeff has a job interview in AUSTIN on Monday! So Jeff and I were raiding his closet trying to find some "interview worthy" clothes. We did not have any succe...

Even though it has been ridiculously hot outside, Hazel and I made it out to the back yard to take some quick pictures. To answer your questions...yes she has on REAL pearls and I was only out there with her for like 5 minutes!...
