Eston playing t-ball in front of Mimi's house. Anna sleeping... from the pictures, it seems like that's all she does. That's the only time I have my hands free to take a picture, I guess. (Mental note...take one with her eyes open.)
Here is a generation picture. My mom's dad, Papa Troy and Eston and Anna's great grandfather; my mom, a/k/a Mimi; Eston; my brother, Uncle Corey; and me. 4 generations. Eston and Anna have another great grandparent, my dad's dad, Papa Herol. I cherish generation pictures like this. When I was born, no lie, I had 11 grandparents living. Crazy, I know. My dad's familiy had children at a young age, so I had 4 great great grandparents when I was born. And I actually had one of my great great grandmas alive throughout my childhood until I was out of college.

Oh, here is a picture of Anna awake! Pardon the little bit of spit up. She's in the swing, which she doesn't love, but doesn't hate. I think she looks alot like my baby pictures in this one.

We've had this bull dozer in our front yard for quite awhile now. And you know how Eston is crazy about tractors, trains, and trucks. Well, Travis took him on a bulldozer ride today. He didn't get scared at all. They ran it up and down the back yard a couple of times, and spread some dirt out, so Eston could make the scoop (not sure what it's called) go up and down. He loved it! How many three year olds can say they rode a bulldozer this weekend!


Notice the shades. Recently he has to have them when he goes outside. One funny note....Eston came inside after his ride. He asked me if I knew how to drive the bulldozer. I told him I did not. He looked at me so seriously and said, "When you get as old as Dad, will you know how to drive it?" Hee hee. I laughed and of course, had to tell Travis. He was quick to tell Eston that he was not THAT much older than I am.

Here are some pictures that Eston's school had taken of him.
Anna loves to sleep in her car seat. Eston did too. I guess they like the way the sides come up around them. Does it make them feel more secure? If we are at home, I usually put a blanket in it to make it a little softer. Here you can see the cute, pink, soft, cuddly seat that she could sleep in. Nope. Just give me the car seat, Mom. I like it better than anything else you have tried.

Anna had a photo shoot with her Aunt Whitney this past Saturday. I have yet to copy the pictures over, but here is one that Whitney posted on her blog...so I stole it. Check out those cheeks and chin! I have an Eston story I want to mention. He was riding with my mom when a truck passed them on the lane beside them. It was going pretty fast. Eston must have said something about the truck going fast. He is such the backseat driver. Then the truck got stopped at a stop light, and as mom approached it turned green. So she got to go on through in her lane and passed the truck. Mom said she made a comment about "Now I'm beating him" or "Now, I'm passing him." Eston, in his grown up voice says, "Mimi, it is not a race." He's been told that more than once!
