Happy 1st Birthday!!!

Our little man, Ira, turned one on April 16th! He has been such a sweet blessing to the family. One happy little guy. Before he even turned one, he was walking and had five teeth come through. And a happy little guy he still is!

Yes, your eyes are seeing just fine, that is a gigantic candy corn candle...it was all I had. Ira didn't seem to mind. The pictures tell the story.

Artist Picture Study...

With this particular artist picture study, Emma really impressed me with her work. So I thought it worthy to make a special post to share her great artistic work. It's always exciting to see what they decide to draw.

A Little More Randomness

Oliver with his little friend, Ruthie Pearl....they happened to wear the same kind of shirts...they both say "my dad rocks!"

Oliver gets a little carried away sometimes when playing dress-up :o)

He took a bath before he went to bed...this is what his hair did...can we say "he needs a haircut!".

The Last Snow

The Latta's last snowman of the season. I must say, we did a fine job!

The whole family had a blast!

The poor snowman after a good beating...Oliver was a little upset, so we fixed it.

Oliver and his little "noman".

A better picture of Oliver's little "noman"...

Emma

A great photo capturing the snowball fight action!

Random

Our cool little man, Ira.

Winston bonding with Barney.

Oliver diggin for gold in his tea-time hat.

Oliver sipping his hot chocolate.

Look real close and notice that Oliver's hair is in a quite unique bedhead style.

Emma sportin the curls...

Playing in the Snow

It finally snowed here in Texas. It didn't melt for a week. The kids loved it. The other day I found her outside playing in it all by herself...then Emma wouldn't allow that and joined her. Travis went out at one point and they had a snowball fight. Emma got him smack dab in the ear! They had fun to say the least.

I think this is Elise chasing her Dad with a snowball...(he's the one taking the pictures)

Winston Makes Himself at Home

Wore out from reading Shakespeare, Winston decided to take a break and nap a bit.

Little cutie likes Avrie's shoes...

I'd say he's made himself at home...
