If I do say so myself...

It's been a while since I've posted, I know. Must be having two kids to keep up with that has kept me off the computer! Even this will be short and sweet as my youngest has been sick and is sleeping so I must make haste!



We went to Liam's Christmas program at school last night. Rewind a couple of weeks ago...we ran into his music teacher at the grocery store and she asked me if I thought Liam would mind having a speaking part in the program. She said it was pretty long, but she felt sure he could do it. All week when I pick Liam up the teachers have said how wonderfully he's doing on his part. OK--now we're current. Papa and ZuZu flew down and joined us as we watched our little thespian! Please excuse the videography-not my finest work but it's hard to keep still when you're 'bubbling' with joy! ;-) He was the hit of the show, if I do say so myself!

GOOOOO TIGERS!!!

Liam had his first t-ball game EVER yesterday and the Tigers did grrrreat! Liam had a blast--he said it was way more fun than soccer but not as much fun as football will be ;-)

Runnin' to third!

Headin' for home!!

Coach Payne put me in the game as pitcher. I fielded this ball and threw it to first!


See...there I am at pitcher (although with t-ball I don't get to pitch!)

Livvy and Daddy watching the game!

This video is of Liam's first game hit EVER!

Bluebonnets!

We took Liam and Olivia for the annual pictures in the bluebonnets today. Think we got some cute ones--what do you think!?

LOVE MY BABIES!!

We have a goldfish!!

Liam finished his two-weeks of daily swim lessons on Friday. HE DID AWESOME and was promoted to the goldfish level! Check out the great video clips from his last lesson. Now we're on to weekly lessons.

This is a video of Liam getting the rings from the bottom of the pool--

This video shows Liam going from front to back across the pool--it's amazing how well he can float on his back now!

Rodeo 2010

We've been counting down for, well, since we left the rodeo last year, until we could go back! Cowboy LT sure does love him some rodeo!! This year was extra special--Liam's FAVORITE song is Big Green Tractor and the "farmer" who sings it was playing at the rodeo. So, forget Sesame Street Live, Disney On Ice...Liam went to his first concert--Jason Aldean! We had a chamber of commerce day so it was very busy--we even ran into Dr. Firpo and her family at the pony rides!

5:45am Liam appeared in his cowboy hat and with his clothes to put on so we could "go right now" to the rodeo. Um, son, not quite yet. The sun needs to come up and Mommy and Daddy would like to shower!

Tough cowboy, LT. Howdy, m'am.

The 'kickers. Dan on the outside with Liam and Livvy...of course she had to have pink boots. What Texas cowgirl doesn't??

Annual tradition

Liam and Olivia on the Big Green Tractor!

We met up with Liam's bestest friend from Kingwood, Tommy, and his family. They had soooo much fun riding all the rides together!

Not the best picture but it captures the excitement!!

Liam watching the rodeo before the concert. He loved watching all the competitions but the bull riding was his favorite. Well...maybe to watch but he was really interested in the Mutton Bustin' (event where 5 and 6 year olds ride a sheep and attempt to hold on the longest). He said, Mommy I want to do that! I told him we'd have to ask Daddy (who had gone to get some drinks) about it sometime and left it alone. Liam kept turning around and I asked him what he was doing. He said he was looking for Daddy so he could ask him and do it RIGHT NOW!! I said we'd have to look into it for next year. Whoa...not sure if this momma can handle a true cowboy!

The reason we were there was to see this guy, Jason Aldean. What a great concert! Olivia loved it so much she slept through most of it!!

Same but Different

Same Mom and Dad. Same pouty lips, apple cheeks, turned-up nose. Eyebrows are the same, as is the chin. Only one thing, that I can see, is different in these two. There may only be one difference but it's the greatest.

Olivia Virginia 6 weeks

Timothy Liam at 1 week with his Grandmother

Liam has an awesome responsibility now to teach precious little Olivia all about the wonderful Grandmother that loved her from the second she knew about her! We miss you terribly Mom.

Olivia Virginia is here!

As "planned" Olivia Virginia Traynor made her grand entrance on December 28, 2009 at 11:52 am. She weighed 7 pounds 5 ounces and was 19 1/4 inches long. We are doing great and are very glad to be home enjoying our new family of four! We are so complete!

The last family picture of the Trayor trio before going to the hospital to have baby Olivia!

Waiting in pre-op...let's get this party started!

Olivia's first portrait with the BEST doctor, Dr. Firpo!

Mommy and Livvy!

Daddy and his princess!

Liam meeting Olivia for the first time...so far so good!

Such a proud, sweet big brother!

First morning home!

Liam decided that Olvia needed a bow on her hat, and that if one was good, five would be better. He said it made her even more beautiful, what do you think??
