Well, we celebrated with a party on the 12th, but of course we wanted to make Charlie’s actual birthday, January 19th, extra special too! We began with present time. He was excited to get a firetruck and played with it a lot that morning! He was anxious to get it out of the box. Present…

    Charlie loves playdoh! On this particular morning he added his construction equipment to the playdoh mix.   It can be hard to keep things interesting when the weather is cold and wet, but I’m trying! One morning I put uncooked macaroni pasta into a pan and let him bulldoze that. One morning we…

Well, I have not done very well posting a picture every time Henry turns one month older. But here are Henry’s pictures from his 8 month birthday (as well as other pictures) and an update on this sweet boy of ours! Month 8 and doing great! This boy loves his paci and uses the Soothie…

The morning after our anniversary, we woke up to a snowy-ish landscape. Since there’s never much snow here, any snow is reason for excitement! We had a lazy morning since Jimmy could go into work a little later and enjoyed McDonald’s breakfast together. Then I bundled the boys up to go outside before it all…

The night of our anniversary we were able to go out and celebrate since Jimmy had rearranged his school schedule for that week. It was pouring rain and cold when we left WF for The Cheesecake Factory, and we knew snow was in the forecast for later that evening! We had a good time talking…

Can you believe it?!?!? This boy is now sleeping in a toddler bed! Zane and Tara brought it over the afternoon of Charlie’s party, and we set it up before they left. I like that the bed is small and low to the ground; I think it’s a great transition to the twin bed he’ll…

Taking several factors into consideration, we decided to have Charlie’s birthday party on Jan. 12th this year, a week before his actual birthday. What a fun celebration we had that afternoon! Jimmy and I decided to go with a truck theme this year since Charlie really likes them. The moment I saw these thank you…

These pictures are from Charlie’s first fast food meal (Taco Bell) that Tara took and sent to me. I think this was over a year ago now!!! I meant to post them a looooong time ago, then forgot about them, then remembered them recently and found them. So without further ado, my boy eating pinto…

This year Christmas was a little different for the Byrd family, but we had a great time! Previous years we have been at my parents’ house for several days, but this year we opted to wake up on Christmas day in our own home!  So, on Christmas Eve we celebrated with Mom, Dad, and Daniel…

We started off Jimmy’s birthday celebration this year at the Carolina Ale House with Mom, Dad, and Daniel. This is the only picture we took- the rest of the time we were busy trying to keep two little boys content! The day of his actual birthday, December 17, he had his first day at Cisco….
