the kinect

layla and i got lance a xbox kinect for his birthday.

i haven't laughed quite that hard in a while.

and it's perfect for a rainy day..

since we have those a lot here in the south.

i played a couple rounds until i felt like my bladder was going to explode and i had a couple

contractions. i'll just have to sit low till little marx get's here.

it had been a long day

layla + mommies eye pencil makeup =

this...

you'd never believe who was watching her when she did this...

her father!

birthday celebration

lance had a wonderful birthday this year.

i have to say he's quite loved.

his family from picayune came up to celebrate along with all our friends and family here in Hattiesburg.

it was a special day.

{this cake took me 4 hours to make...although it was very good, i won't be making it again}

thanks to everyone who celebrated with us.

here's to another year Lance!

only 2 more and you'll be the big 3-0!!

fashion-ista

layla is very much into picking out her own outfits.

i don't think she really does all that bad for a 2 year old...

march 2, 1983...

...this cute little guy was born.

Although,

he's not so little anymore.

I love you Lance!

Happy 28th Birthday!
