Teagen's 1st Haircut

Teagen got his first haircut today. His hair was getting really long and we overheard a kid asking his mom if Teagen was a boy or girl. 

He was fussing the whole way there and I thought it was going to be a disaster. Of course, he fell asleep 3 minutes before we got there and I almost just wanted to turn around and go home. But we got him out of the car and he woke up once we stepped inside Snip It. It's a really cute place and they did a really good job. Teagen was entertained even though he wouldn't really smile. They took a picture of him and framed it and he even got a certificate of bravery :)

Then we went to Home Depot to pick up some soil and plants for our yard.  Teagen was entertaining himself with my sunglasses. 

And he helped Daddy push the basket. I think he was ready to go home!

Teagen the Ring Bearer

april & jody's wedding

Last weekend we went to Oklahoma City for April and Jody's wedding. It was a really nice wedding and it was really great to meet Jeff's 2 older brothers and their families. Teagen was the ring bearer in the wedding and he did such a good job! He actually did better than I thought he would - the flower girl helped too :)

Here are some pics:

This is Teagen as soon as we left for OKC. Unfortunately, he didn't stay this happy for the rest of the trip.

Here are some pictures from the rehearsal dinner.

Aunt April and Uncle Jody gave T an OU tooth-pillow. It's so cute :)

This was right after I put his tux on. I was a little worried, but he got over it pretty quickly.

So handsome!

This is one of the only pictures I took at the ceremony because Teagen lasted about 1 minute then I had to take him to the back of the chapel and occasionally the bathroom!

The Reids

This is after T discovered fruit punch from a regular cup.

The happy couple

Teagen loved his cousin Drake and Uncle Randy.

He was pooped after the wedding!

Easter 09

This was Teagen's first time to join in on the Easter egg hunt. He picked up a few eggs, then he got distracted and tried to follow the big kids.

One crazy boy!!!

Teagen's Tux

Here's Teagen trying on his tux. It's a little big, but it's still soooo cute! We tried it on right before bedtime, so he has tired eyes in the pics.

cute Teagen stories

Jeff and I were getting ready to go out for my birthday on Saturday so the baby-gate to our bedroom was down because we were running in and out of it. Jeff and I both ended up in the living room talking and I suddenly realized I didn't see or hear Teagen. So, I rushed to our bathroom, because that's where he always takes off to when he can, and I see Teagen standing by the open toilet holding one of my favorite brown heels and dunking it into the toilet. While he's doing this, he is just as happy as can be of course! Let me add, "someone" in the house had forgotten to flush the toilet and left the seat up giving Teagen the perfect opportunity.

The next day, Teagen was napping before we went to my parents' house for Easter. We went in to his bedroom to wake him up and were just standing there admiring how precious he was cuddled up in his blankie. Then Jeff noticed that his diaper was on the other side of the crib! Teagen was sleeping in just a t-shirt - no wonder he was sleeping so good!! We were laughing so hard I can't believe we didn't wake him  up. And the crib was completely dry - thank God!

long time, no see

So, I've been busy with everyday life and, of course, playing with Teagen! So, here are some pictures of what we've been doing!

Here's Teagen after he figured out how to climb up the chair :)

Teagen and Tio Joe taking grapefruits to the house.

Teagen's trying to drive around the grapefruits!

I was trying to get a great picture of the kids at Sophia's birthday party, but only Blake would cooperate.

Teagen loved when the candy from Sophia's pinata fell on him and he just sat in the middle of it and played with it! I don't think he knows what it is yet :)

Teagen and Aunt Lisa!

Teagen's first ride on a merry go round!

We checked in on Teagen one morning because he was sleeping in, which is unusual, and he was sound asleep snuggling with George.

Teagen and Daddy playing.

Our little daredevil!

and last, but not least, a video of Teagen :)

valentine's goodies and more

I made these for Teagen's Valentine's Day party at school. Teagen is still sick though, so we just dropped them off this morning along with some strawberry cupcakes.

And because Teagen has been napping so much, I had time to make a (very belated) birthday card :)

{For the pouches I used Bo Bunny paper and the stamp is from Michael's $1 bin.}

{ For the birthday card I used Hero Arts stamps (the design block stamp and the happy birthday) and I used a Martha Stewart stamp for the strip. Also, the cardstock is yellow, not green like it looks in the picture.}

we love the park

Jeff and I took Teagen to the neighborhood park the other day and he loved it! We're definitely going to make it a habit to take him there. It was a nice little walk too :)

ring bearer

Teagen is going to be the ring bearer in his Aunt April's wedding!
I'm so excited :) I just hope he actually walks all the way down the aisle. The wedding is in April, so we have time to practice.

April found a great deal on the flower girl's dresses and T's tux on Flower Girl Dress for Less

Here are our choices:

 































Absolutely adorable right?!! (i have no idea why this is underlined and it will not let me take it off!)
We don't which to choose! I know he'll look adorable in either though :)
