Happy 4th Wedding Anniversary!

Mark & Tiffany Haddock

July 9, 2005

We celebrated our 4th Wedding Anniversary this past July!

We have been together for the past 5 and a half years. We have laughed and cried and seen each other through our best and worst and everything in between. And today, when I look at him, I feel even more love then I've ever felt before. We have a life together that includes our family, which is full of shared memories that keep us close and that we will cherish forever.

While we were at College Station, we stopped by the Aggie Bonfire Memorial. It was so moving to read about each person, really kids, who lost their life that day. If you have never been, it is a must, we both agreed that it was an amazing and touching memorial. While we were reading the memorial to each individual we came across a poem that one of the fallen had written at some point in his life. Mark and I thought it was very meaningful and really gets you pondering life in general.

Enough

Jeremy Frampton

If I stare long enough

If I talk hard enough

If I touch soft enough

If I look good enough

If I love deep enough

Will I live long enough

To love life enough

Whoop, Saw 'Em Off!

We made a trip down to the Holy Land, is what Mark and all the other Aggies like to call it, for Kameron's football camp and to revisit some of Mark's old stomping grounds. We got Taylor and Daddy matching shirts! I will let Taylor wear maroon as long as his heart and blood is purple!

Daddy teaching Taylor horns down!

Taylor thought is was so cool to be wearing the same shirt as his Daddy!

Swimming with Baby Audree!

Hayden, Taylor, and I had a swimming playdate with Baby Audree and Virginia one day this past July. We had so much fun with them!

Swimming Lessons with Taylor, Brett, & Carter!

These are photos from the boys (Taylor, Brett, & Carter) swim lessons!

Carter about to do the safety test, this is where Dawn (the swim instructor) had the boys jump in with all of their clothes on to see if they had learned to swim to the steps if they were to fall in while no one was around to help.

Carter about to take the plunge...

Taylor kept saying where is my swimsoup, is what he calls it!

He kept asking Dawn where is my swimsoup?!?!?

He did not want to go in the water with his clothes on!

Brett was the same way, he did not want to swim in his clothes, he said...I can't get my clothes wet.

He finally jumped in, but wanted his swimsuit on immediately!

Carter Drew absolutely loves the water!

Carter practicing his kicking!

Brett, Uncle Jason, & Hayden watch as Taylor is completing his last swim lesson!

Brett wanted to just sit and play the guitar!

This is the swim instructors daughter who came over a couple times to play while her mother taught the lessons. I caught her and Taylor sneaking oreo cookies...if you look closely she has the evidence in her teeth! Taylor one day called her his girlfriend, she is only 2 years older!
