The Big ONE

Well I cant believe that it has actually been a year but SAMANTHA RYAN LEROUAX is ONE! It still feels like yesterday that Derrek and I were walking into the hospital to be prepped for the delivery of our baby girl. Its amazing that it has only been a year and I can barely remember my life without her in it. Being a parent is truly amazing and I am so grateful that god gave Derrek and I this beautiful little miracle. Here is a look back at her first year.

As the parent you dont realize how much your child changes in a year until you look back at pictures. Everyone kept telling me how much hair she was getting and I didnt even realize it half the time. This year just flew by in a blink of an eye.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY GORGEOUS GIRL!!! We love you very much!!

P.S.- stay tuned for party prep and party pics coming soon :)

The Curlhawk

Some kids make a statement with their mowhawks well my daughter has decided to make a statement with her curlhawk. haha!!

Sorry for the slight nakedness but it is always the best after a bath :)

She could give Mr. T a run for his money with this curlhawk of hers :)

not everyone could pull this look off and look cute but I think she does it pretty well.

Have a great week everyone!

Big boy bike

We had a garage sale a few weeks ago and sold Mason's tricycle. Sounds mean of us I know but he was way to big for it. Poor kid could barely get moving on it b/c his knees were hitting the handle bars. Anyways, since school was about to start at the time we were going to get him a new one we told him that if he did good the first week and didnt cry and was a big boy (since he was starting at a new school) that we would get him a big boy bike. Well since he did great we kept our word. We headed to Walmart to get him a new ride. We put him on the 12" one and it worked great but we were worried he looked to close to growing out of it so we put him on teh 16" one. He has to point his toes a little bit but this was definitely the one for him. He wanted to ride it all over the store but we got him home as soon as we could so that he could show off his skills on his new big boy bike with training wheels.

getting ready to go

on the move

look at him go

All smiles on his new bike

Daddy getting in on the action to help him turn around

Now daddy is getting a workout :)

This was about the time he was yelling " Move over mommy I'm coming through" haha

He is definitely loving his new bike and we are looking forward to the cooler weather so that he can be out on it much much more.

Happy Fall everyone!!
