The Joy's of taking family photos!!!

I know I promised July 4th blog but as you can tell that didn't happen and here we are already nearing the end of July 2010. The blogging is realistically only going to happen about once a month if I'm lucky (I know that disappoints you Heidi...j/k!!!) This was a busy month for the Tibbs family, traveling almost every weekend to spend time with the most important people in our lives with a busy work schedule to boot. We did get a few days break while Nena and Papi were on vacation and they took Liam and Layla for a few days, but all good things must come to an end ;) Also somewhere in this month Heidi and Eric came to Indy for a visit and Heidi put her photography skills to the test and took some wonderful pictures of us which I will share with you after the blogging is complete. It was hot, tensions was high, and kids were barely cooperative but without any one of those things would it really be a family photo shoot??? However the end result, as you can see from a few shots below, were some great photo's taken by and up and coming photographer that did a fantastic job. Stay tuned for August as it will be another busy but fun month....charity golf outing, IN state fair, and most importantly Liam will be stating school....this should be interesting!!!!!

Wedding Bells Ring in Aubrun, IN

Brandy's roommate from BSU Dawn had her wedding last weekend in Auburn, IN at the auto museum. A night away from the kids but as always (as I'm sure most of you can attest to) we spent most of the evening talking about Laim and Layla. We had a great time watching a beautiful ceremony and even had a chance to get in a couple of dances before the long drive back to South Bend.

New Addition

On June 22nd Ethan Charles was born, Liam finally got his first boy cousin and I got my first nephew. Liam was the only boy on either side of the family and he has a blue princess dress at maw-maw's to prove it!!!! Layla will be right there of course tormenting them both into submission!!!

I can almost hear Layla saying

"humm....how can I make him do what I want"!!

Playing Catch Up!!!

As my "favorite" sister-in-law points out Brandy and I need to play catch up on our family blog. I find myself each time wanting to update this but something always comes up but you know what they say "excuses are like @$$#*!&$, everyone has one". So really I have no excuse but to take the time and write some captions and add some pictures because the one thing Heidi is right about is that if no one looks at the blog at least Brandy, Liam, Layla and I can look back and get a glimpse of our thoughts and images. Thanks Heidi keep bugging me and I will eventually get to it!!!! Adding fathers day pics now....stay tuned for 4th of July!!!!

Pizza Pizza!!!!

Liam and Layla enjoyed their afternoon with mommy and daddy almost as much as making their own pizza's and eating them!!!!

Our baby is 2!!!!!

I can't believe our little girl is 2 years old. Layla had a great party at Maw-Maw's house. Family, cake and gifts.....what more can a 2 year old ask for!!! It was great to all spend time together before our family has one of the toughest weeks of our lives.

A new day!!!!

Liam did it.....he's becoming such a big boy!!!! Liam pooped in the potty for the first time over the weekend. He has gone once more. As a special prize the family when bowling!!! He did great and scored an 88.

Great job buddy

Happy New Year's!!!!!

Here are a few pictures from the night!!!
