Red's Gathering





Last weekend we
went to Fort Worth to see Boots, Banty, Uncle Rooster, Aunt Courtney, Kim and George at Red Stegall's Cowboy Gathering. The kids got to see horses and lots of cowboys. Mimi, Papaw, Uncle B, Auntie M and Cousin Brody made the trip with us.
We all had a great time and needed a nap when we got home! :)

TUR-TUL....

Here is Emmy's newest obsession...her TUR-TUL dress. She has learned how to say TUR-TUL through her books and she is obsessed!! This is one of her summer dresses with turtles on it and she will go back to her room just to find it. Then she will bring it to us to put it on over what she already has on. Yesterday, she had on a jeans and a shirt, but insisted we put on the TUR-TUL dress over it. After a few minutes I tried taking it off, and we had a fit on our hands. I guess you really do have to chose your battles, right??

I need to go find a green long sleeved shirt and some green tights, or it might be a long winter! You may see alot more of the TUR-TUL dress.

Adventure at the Geer's











Here are some pictures from a few weeks ago when the kids stayed with The Geer's for the night. We are truly blessed to have so many family members who love our kids as much as we do and to know we do not have to worry leaving them. Thanks for sending the pictures, Julie!! :)

While Brad and I traveled to Phoenix this weekend for Boots' art show, the kids stayed back at home with Mimi and Papaw. On Saturday, they went to the pumpkin patch with cousin Brody, and as you can see from the pictures had a great time.

We also had a great trip with Boots and Banty. Here are som pics from our weekend.

This week...




Here are some random pictures from this week. Emmy was very sick last week with a virus, but she is much better now. I didn't think she would ever get over it. Luckily, the rest of us remained well, aside from my sinus infection.

The kids are enjoying their playroom and outside. Emmy still LOVES to read...she walks up to you with a book and won't put it down until you read it to her. Right now her favorite books are The Halloweiner and Who Stole the Cookies from the Cookie Jar? The only thing she gets frustrated with are the books that are too heavy to carry. She will come get you and show you the book she wants. Tate loves to dump things out onto the floor and he has learned to walk backwards. It is too funny to watch. He will walk backwards and just grin ear to ear like he is so proud of himself. :)

Banty came for TWO visits in TWO weeks (we had a blast, thanks Banty!!),

we played ALOT in the back yard with Daddy and our new shoes (thanks Boots!!),












Emmy got to try on Banty's jewelry (by the way Banty, we found your turquoise bracelet in the truck),

















we wrestled Daddy in the floor,
















We went to our first Kindermusik class (sorry we forgot the camera for that one),







we read lots of books (actually, the same books OVER and OVER again!),

















we did a little gardening in Daddy's flowerbeds (actually it was just sorting the mulch, but we are really good at it. Daddy is lucky to have our gardening expertise),
