Aunt Lynda and Aunt Sue gave Ani and Ruston tigers when they came to visit us in Florida. It is the only stuffed animal he likes. The other day in the car he was growling at it. It was too cute.

Ani never did like her rocking horse. Ruston just loves to rock.

This is the living room. The battle over what floors to install was a good one to win! I wanted the teak floors and Virgel wanted mesquite. The teak turned out more beautiful than I anticipated.

My most awesome kitchen! Love how the kitchen turned out. I thought I would never finish all the tile, but it was worth it.

Here is our master bath tub. This took Virgel a LONG time to get done. But it did turn out beautifully!

The best part is eating it. He really liked it. I had to save the shirt so off it came. He didn't seem to mind.

A roller skating 1 year old!

That is right, he was skating on his own. At first he held on tight, but before long he pushed my hands away. The wheels were tightened up so they didn't roll real easily, but they still rolled! He absolutely had a blast. When he would fall on his bottom, he would just laugh and laugh! It was a lot of fun to watch him.

Of course, Ruston had to have a cake all his own! He loved the little frog on top. He spent a while chewing on it. I let him have it until he got the whole gum ball in his mouth.

Party time!

We made it to Arkansas last weekend and celebrated Ruston's birthday. We had it at the skating rink in Russellivlle. It was a good party with family. We don't get to do that too often since we have always lived far away from everyone. Thanks for your help, Denise, in getting Ruston such an adorable cake!

It works!

Somebody got a new BIG boy bed. Since my little guy hasn't been in his crib since we left Florida and he is starting to climb, we decided it was time to put him in a big bed instead of his crib. He really likes it. He and Ani played on it for a long time after we put it together. I can't believe how big he is getting!

This is one of Ani's favorite activities in gymnastics. She was so proud that she didn't fall off!!

Ani has really enjoyed gymnastics. She tries really hard - most of the time!
