Fun at the Children's Museum...

We went to the children's museum during our family trip. I got to milk a cow!


The itsy-bitsy spider got me!


I'm pretending to be a helper ant in the big ant mound!


My what long legs I have!


Whoa! a T-Rex!

Life in the Shallow End...

We were going to go to the water park today, but Paige's tummy was not feeling well. After a little while, we decided that we could blow up Will's new kiddie pool.



Sean and Will filling up the pool.



Stick'em up!



Daddy never lets me do this in the bathtub!



Yummmm. Sonic!



Aunt Julie beside the pool.

Cowtown Stockyards...

We went to the Stockyards here in Fort Worth. Here is Sean as a cowboy.



We all had a great time pretending to be longhorns!



We met some cattle rustlers.



Paige is pretty in pink.



Ride'm Cowboy!

puzzles and turtles...

Will is becoming very good at his puzzles. He loves his Little Einsteins puzzle. It talks to him when he gets the pieces in place. He can also fly through his nine piece puzzle.

Will also likes to play with his turtle.


I'm a Silly Willy!
Thank you Mrs. Tonya for the turtle!

Who's gonna ride your wild horses...

I got distracted on my way to see "Aunt" Ella. (She's really Mema's Aunt, so I'm not really sure how to describe my relation to her.) Anyway, Mommy used to have a ton of fun as a kid riding these horses. This was the highlight of her long trip to the grocery store.

Here is all of us with Aunt Ella.

John Deere Boy...

Pop got me a new John Deere hat. Now I'm ready to ride Papa's tractor.

Go Big Red...

While Mommy and Daddy were out on a date, Pop and Mema got me a puppy! It is Clifford the Big Red Dog. I like to ride him around and pet my puppy.

Cookie Monster on Christmas Day...

I became a Cookie Monster over Christmas. I love Mema's tea cakes! I would walk around the house with a cookie in each hand.

Mommy and Daddy and I had a great Christmas in Georgia. You can see what Santa left us behind me. I like my Georgia Bull"puppy" sweatshirt the best!

thanks...

Thank you Sean and Paige for the tricycle!



Thank you Aunt Julie for the clothes. Now I'm ready to go play outside in the cold.



I'm just so darn cute!



Thank you Pop for the wagon!



Thank you Mema for the flowers!

Fun in the Pumpkin Patch...

Here I am in the pumpkin patch. I've picked me out a pumpkin just my size!

Here you go Daddy! Hold my pumpkin.

Oh dear! I'm not sure I can get this one up?!

Mommy and Pooh and Pooh...

Here are Mommy and her little Pooh Bear that she loves to snuggle up with! Oh and look, her little Pooh Bear has a little Pooh Bear of his own!

Cuddle bugs...

Mommy thinks that Will is going to sleep with us tonight...I'll just have to move him after she goes to sleep.

green, white and blue...

Here is a picture of our new bedroom. This is called Koi Pond green.

Valerie decided to paint the bathroom. She also left a little bit of graffiti on the wall.

Here is Will's room. It is "Lauren's Surprise" blue. We aren't real sure that we are going to like this color.

welcome home...

Well, as of 2 pm today, Valerie and I are officially homeowners for the first time. It is kinda exciting. It kinda hasn't really struck me yet. It kinda is going to be a lot of work here for the next 2 weeks (and beyond)!

late birthday...

I liked my firetruck cookie-cake!

Happy Birthday to me!

Yay!

Here Daddy! Have some cookie!

Cool! Train connecting blocks!

I love my Pooh Bear pillow.

Feliz cumpleanos...

Happy 1st birthday Will!

early birthday...

Yay! A present!

Hey, what is in there?

What am I supposed to do with this?

The piggy goes there Mommy!
