Happy Birthday Lanie!!

Lanie turns 4 on the 28th, so we celebrated her birthday at the pumpkin patch on Saturday. The kids had a blast!!! They got to ride a hayride, get their face painted (which of course Connor was Spiderman), jump in a bounce house and pick out their own pumpkin to decorate. Lanie got a ton of cool presents for her special day, so we went back to her house so Connor could help her play with them.The birthday girl getting some love!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANIE-BUG!!

Mommy's turn!

Eric was out of town this weekend so I got to play flag football with Connor. Also, MeMe got to watch Connor play. Thanks MeMe for taking pictures!!
As Connor would say "Down, Set, Hut"

Guess Who????

There is no denying they are brother and sister.


Happy Halloween

An artist in action!

There is a cool art studio in Frisco that has storytime on Wednesdays. Connor and I went a few weeks back and he listened to a spider story and painted a spider plate. They got to paint the whole plate with different fall colors and then make a spider out of their handprint. Of course every spider needs flies to eat, so they used their thumb prints. We had to leave it for a week so they could fire it. Connor asked a gazillion times when it would be ready. Check out my little artist. He had so much fun and we will definitely have to go back.

Dallas Arboretum

Last Thursday we had a playdate at the Dallas Arboretum. I have not been there in years (more like over a decade). It was absolutely beautiful, even with a ton of mud. One of my friends is a professional photography and she did a playdate photo session with all the kiddos. Here are a few that I took of my two!! We will definitely be going back soon.

Can't believe it has already been 6 months!!!

Happy Birthday Carlee Ann!!! 6 months have flown by and we have loved every minute of it. Carlee is the happiest baby and loves to be on the go. Which makes us all happy!! She has finally gotten over her nighttime screaming fits and really become Daddy's little girl. She weighs 17 lbs 14 ozs (90%) and is 26.8 in long (90%). She reminds us so much of Connor.... rolls, rolls, and more rolls!! Connor is still the best big brother and LOVES Carlee. You would never believe it but he is so gentle and protective of her. Thank you God for giving us two perfect babies!!!

Hello Big Tex

Yesterday we packed up and bundled up and headed out to the State Fair. We had a blast!! We were a little worried about Carlee being in the cold for so long, but she did so good!! Eric's parents had a great idea to bring the extra double stroller for Connor and Lanie and it was the best idea!! It was so nice to not have to chase after Connor and worry about him in the crowds. Even though I am a little disappointed that I didn't get to eat anything fried, it was still so much fun!
