Raising Boys...And Living to Tell About it: March 2012

Got Cute Kids?

Here are just a couple of pictures from the fall/winter that never made it to a blog post. I think our boys are pretty darn cute! :)

At the grand opening of our new TCBY...self serve frozen yogurt...yummy!

A trip to the zoo...

flowers that Steve sent me at work one day....in the shape of a little dog. So cute!

Logan and his friend Addison playing putt putt

Mimi...this one's for you...a picture of all the boys (and Stirling) in their annual Thanksgiving pajamas from Mimi and Papaw....because the little ones were not in Abilene, we weren't able to get a picture all together so we took one when we got home.

The boys (and Carson) in front of the newly decorated Christmas tree

Happy Birthday, Nolan!

Nolan turned 7 years on old on January 18th. We celebrated with donuts for breakfast on the "You are Special" plate and a candle. I also got him a cute "7" football shirt to wear at school for the day. We brought mini cupcakes for his class to enjoy at lunch. He got a new watch (which he wears EVERY day), a sonic game for his DS, a mini pillow pet, and a dinosaur picture to hang up in his room. He is the cutest 7 year old around. We had a bowling party for his friends which was a blast...pictures of the party to follow as soon as I upload them from my camera! :)

Absolutely precious! :)

DI reunion

Every couple of months we try to get the two world DI teams together for a reunion. We had such a great time last year in Lubbock at State and then again in Tennessee for World, that we have mini reunions when we can. Grandma Joyce is great about setting them up. This time, we all went bowling. The kids had a great time and enjoyed just being together. It is crazy to see the current sixth graders and how grown up they look...

Merry Christmas from the Bairds

Here are a few pictures from our Christmas. The boys had a terrific Christmas....I think it might have been the best one on record for them. :) We are all extremely blessed....

Christmas Eve Breakfast...soooo yummy....all you need is pancakes, strawberries, redi whip, and hershey kisses. Next year I am going to add more characters to our breakfast. :)

Every Christmas Eve after church and before bed, we each get to open one present...it is always the same thing...pajamas and a new Christmas ornament. When the boys move away from home, they will get to take all of their ornaments with them to put on their own Christmas tree someday. This year the ornaments had their initials on it, and Steve's was a Texas Tech football. After opening up gifts, we read the Christmas Story and then it is off to bed to wait on Santa....
