{Newman Village Christmas Village 2012}

It has become a tradition of sorts for us to go to a little Christmas Village put on by a 

local neighborhood.  They have fake snow, fake ice skating rink, fake ice, it's great for Texas kids who don't get to see it at Christmas time.

{Halloween 2012}

 Go, go Power Rangers!

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers!

The boys are really into Power Rangers right now. 

This is disturbing to me because I have had to endure way too many years of Power Rangers since I grew up with two brothers who also went through the Power Ranger phase...so...lucky me.

They were SO excited to be Power Rangers this year, and when the costumes came in the mail a few weeks before Halloween, there were often two Power Rangers running 

around our house fighting.  

I secretly really love it.

 The cutest Power Rangers around...

 Thatcher really wanted the suit with muscles...

Tagg was totally into not having muscles, what can you do?

I love this boy...

and this one too...

{Tagg is SIX!}

Tagg turned 6 on September 1st and we had a SuperHero party to celebrate!

We invited all his best buds over and since it was still as hot as hades here, we rented a big inflatable water slide and let the kids slip and slide all afternoon.

The kids also had a special visit from Batman! 

Tagg had a fun day, and it makes all the planning and late night preparing worth it! 

We sure love this Tagg boy, I cannot imagine life without him. 

He has such a funny personality and seriously keeps me laughing all day long.

He is imaginative, creative, and loves to play play play! 

He is also so very tender hearted, and loves to love and snuggle.

Life is so much better with our Taggy.
