Random Picture Post

I have tons of photos that I need to put up here so I thought I would knock it all out at once!

A couple of weeks ago we went to Downtown Roanoke to watch Brave Combo perform! So fun! Mason loved dancing around to the music!

Sweet Connor and Daddy moment

Me dancing with Mason...I love this boy!

We stopped one afternoon at the Old Alton bridge to take some pictures. Such a cool spot!

I love how neither boy is even remotely looking at the camera here!

Love these three!

I've mentioned this before but Mason is SO into pirates lately. It's pretty adorable and a stage I will definitely miss when he grows out of it!

Checking out the snails

This morning I took the boys to the Denton square in hopes of getting a couple of good pictures. Not sure what I was thinking since that is never easy by myself! I do love this one though!

They are becoming such little best friends and it melts my heart!

Looking for the "bad duys" through the fence:

I stopped and got Mason a donut at a new place on the square. He was definitely not disappointed!

My sweet little Target buddy!

Connor after his breakfast one morning. He is definitely the better eater of the two boys but is SO messy!!!

Zoo Day!

A few of us in our playgroup took the kids to the Dallas Zoo yesterday. It was such a great day for it! PERFECT weather! We were also pretty proud of ourselves for making it by ourselves with two kids each! Mason absolutely loved running around with his little buddies. Here's some pictures from our day.

I made sure to get quick shot of the boys together, confined to the stroller before we went in! I knew this would be my only chance!

Checking out the animals!

All of the "big kids"!

The babies! (minus Ella!)

I have to say, I am so impressed with the Dallas Zoo. The new Safari section is so neat. This giraffe was so close that you could see his eyelashes!

Lunch time! While the older kids ate at a table, the babies had a little picnic!

I love his sweet face!

Here's Mason and Carter "roaring" like a tiger. I'm sure all the people around us really loved us! :-)

Connor and Lucy!

Of course we had to stop at the kid's water area before leaving. It's safe to say that Mason was SOAKED by the end of this!

Such a fun day!

Water Fun!

Water table filled with bubbles + a beautiful April day = tons of fun for little boys!

My photography blog!

I wanted to share my photography blog since it has consumed so much of my time these last few days! I decided to start a little business a couple of months ago, as a very part time thing to just make a little money. I love taking photos so it is much more of a passion than a job to me! I feel so completely blessed to have been so busy in a just a short time! I have loved meeting so many sweet children and families and capturing precious memories for them! So check out my blog: www.LauraTyePhotography.com

Easter and my birthday!

We had a busy and fun past few days!

Last Thursday, Mason's preschool had a spring fling complete with bounce houses, face painting, balloon animals and a school wide Easter egg hunt! It was so much fun! Here is a picture of Mason with his sweet little classmates. I promise he was happy here despite his sad face! It's so sweet to hear him talk about his little friends from school!

My 30th (it still seems weird to type that) birthday was on Friday and we had so much fun! Jared took the day off and we went shopping and to lunch and then we had a KID FREE dinner with friends! We all decided that was something we needed to do more often!

Here is our group at dinner!

And just the girls! I'm so thankful for their friendships!!

And of course I had to get a picture with my favorite little men!

On Easter we went to church and then to my brother in law's house and despite the rain, we still managed to have a good time. We had an (indoor) egg hunt for the kids which they loved!

This is the only picture I managed to get of the boys in their matching clothes. I was hoping to get a family picture but of course that didn't happen!

In Mason's Easter basket, he got a bubble maker so we set it up last night for the boys to play in. I don't think I have ever seen them so excited about something!

Playgroup Easter Egg Hunt!

On Monday we had our annual playgroup Easter egg hunt! It was so much fun watching the kids run to get the eggs and then open them excitedly. They understood what to do this year way more than last year!

Here is the whole group before the hunt!

And just for fun here is the same group last year! We are so much bigger now since almost all the moms have had their second baby!

Mason and his best friend Carter. Maybe I am biased but I think these two are just so handsome!

Connor with his girlfriend Ella! (Carter's little sister)

Connor with his little friend Braydon!

Sweet brothers inspecting their eggs

And me with the boys last year! Connor was only a couple of weeks old! What a difference a year makes!

Mason reading to Connor

The older Connor gets, the more him and Mason are playing together. Watching these two boys grow up together melts my heart! Here's a little video of Mason reading a book to Connor yesterday!
