Haskell Weekend

H.O.G.

Lars said to make his a HARLEY!!! Although Karl and his family are into Goldwings, we had to let Lars pick :) You will notice too, he got his shirt at The Harley Shop in Longview, TX! We have to teach him he's a Texan, no matter what his birth certificate says.

new pics coming soon

For any of you who are thinking, she needs to get on the ball and put up more pictures, know that they are coming. I had a whole bunch to put up tonight and the blog site won't load them!! So we will try again tomorrow:)!!

Sweet Dreams!

Where's the Beef?

We decided to start putting Lars in his high chair when we are eating dinner. This is our attempt at getting him to stay at the table until everyone is done for meals. So far it's worked a little, but sometimes he realizes everyone else is eating and he wants to eat too (which at this point doesn't happen in the high chair).
Lars is also wondering when his Aunt Jenni is going to bring him one of those "Sprinkles" cupcakes??:)

Happy Birthday Papa!!

Happy Birthday Dad!! We love you very much!! We wish we could have been with you to celebrate your 55 years young:)!!

three amigos

The first picture was taken when Lars was 1 week, Luke 2weeks and Will 3 months. The 2nd & 3rd pictures were taken Friday, Lars almost 4 month, Luke 4 months and Will 7 months. The last picture Will and Lars thought we said, put your hand in your mouth.
(The pictures below of Luke and Lars were taken the same days)

Lars is also trying to encourage all his friends to be Cowboys!!

Sharing the Throne

Lars is really talkative in this video, it's so cute! He is trying to tell us "how the cow ate the cabbage"!
Lars is enjoying sharing his chair with Luke! I love that they both fit in there now. I know it won't last long.

Welcoming more friends!

Today we had a baby shower for Melissa McGee. She is expecting her little boy to be here (hopefully, no later than) August 21st! She is the last one in this photo (taken at Lars' baby shower) to have her baby and we are all ready to meet the little guy!
Here she is with Luke and Lars. They are trying to encourage him to come out and play!

We had a great time at the shower! It's harder to get together with all your friends once everyone has kids, so we cherish the moments together even more. It's also much more difficult to get things done when the babies need to eat and be held, so I have to give Karl credit for making most of the food for the shower! We never could have done it without him!!

Avery turns 1!

Many of you know our great neighbors Brent and Julie and their two girls, Reagan and Avery. Avery had her first birthday party today! This was her first time having cake, but as you can see it didn't take her long to realize that chocolate icing is a wonderful thing:)!!
I just love this picture of Avery in her new chair!

Uncle Trey took his turn holding our sweet Lars:)! Don't they look cute together!
It's hard to believe it's been a year already! Besides being super excited for Brent and Julie, we found out we were pregnant with Lars the week Avery was born.

Karl's Outfit, Recycled

As if we hadn't already tortured Lars enough today (bath, birthday party, sharing his chair with Funk), we decided it was a good day to play dress up with him.
This outfit that he has on was one of Karl's outfits when he was a baby, at 7 months (Lars is only 3.5 months)! We had to go ahead and put it on Lars now cause there's no way it would have fit him in the Fall, when Karl would have worn it. Lars was such a good sport putting on this winter outfit that nearly cut off the circulation in his muscular guns:)! Doesn't he look cute?!
