I know I know......I am the worst blogger EVER!!! Well lots has happened during the last nine months and believe it or not I have taken a lot of pictures with the intention of updating the blog......needless to say I failed miserably! So I am going to try to catch up by capturing the good stuff...........They both have grown a lot over the year....Lauren is very idependent, moody, and truly Daddy's little girl. Dawson continues to charm the ladies and makes us laugh...He told us on Mother's Day he had a problem because he falls in love with every pretty girl he meets............I dont't think he is the one with the problem - mom and dad have the problem =)
They love each other very much!!!

BIG GIRL!!!! June 12, 2009 - 1st Birthday!
It's her party and she'll cry if she wants too.......Did not like her cake!!!
Not very interested in opening presents either......
Really wanted nothing to do with it!
The next day she was much happier....she had her buddy Chase!!
Almost Caught up...........
Julianna and Ansley came to visit this summer
The girls were having a tea party.....well at least Lauren was trying to, Ansley won't sit still long enough =) Lauren loved having her here - she wanted to hold and hug her like she was a baby doll.
Wave to the camera!
Always trying to be a good brother..........
Too cute for words!!!
And now we are at present.......Yea!!! It has been a fun and interesting summer to say the least. We are still trying to sell our house and have put an offer on a new one in Bath...... hopping to close and have the keys by the end of August. And within the last week there has been some excitement......Lauren had rosie-olla and Dawson broke his arm!
He was a very good patient and of course charmed all the nurses in the ER. He now has a red cast and we are using a silver marker to sign it - GO BUCKS! He is excited to start school in a couple weeks so all his friends can sign his cast. He has been pretty good so far with very little complaints but I have a feeling that its going to get old before the six weeks are up!
Lauren saying hi to Daddy! He was inside painting while we enjoyed a sunny day =)
There are very few moments that I am able to get him to stand still...........a lucky shot!
Not sure what he was doing.......but he was having a ton of fun!
Picking up rocks out of the driveway..........still can't keep them out of her mouth!
