Fridays are our family day so we really look forward to an entire day to be together.  We finally took Macee to Build a Bear and it was so much fun.  She picked out a brown bear and dressed her in a cheerleader outfit.  Too cute!  

I am 5 1/2 months!

I can roll and roll and roll!  I love to be on my belly!  I am very curious of the different sounds around me.  I recognize voices like mommy and daddy and especially my sister.  I am a very happy baby with a big, big smile.  I am sleeping thru most nights and napping about 2 or 3 times a day.  I'm not wild about my car seat but usually travel great if mom and dad time it just right.  I can hold my bottle with a little help.  I've been eating food 2 times a day.  I really like everything I've tasted so far...... however with  peas and green beans I make a funny face and spit.  My check up on Friday showed I was mostly in the 50% for length and weight.  17lbs and 24 inches long.  Whew, a lot has happened in 5 1/2 months.   

I am 2!

I can sing my ABC's, Itsy Bitsy Spider, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.  I can count ten and I know my animals.  I am learning my colors and letters.  I know some of my shapes: a star, a heart, a circle and a square.  I love playing baby doll and helping mom and dad with baby Max.  These are just a few things I know but most importantly I know I have a big family with lots of people who love me and I love them.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!  WE LOVE YOU 

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY MACEE !  WE LOVE YOU

This last year went by so fast and the next thing I know my little girl is 2.  We had a few friends over to celebrate her birthday.  A fish fry and french fries w/fried pickles was very yummy!  We had a Mickey Mouse cake that she and Katie Sahl enjoyed very much.  Macee I love you and can't wait to see what this next year has in store for us.  

Fun times in Sonora.....I dressed up as a hippy for Bailyn's 9th bday.  We celebrated Macee's 2nd bday, handed out candy to the cute trick or treaters (the 4yr old Michael Jackson was my favorite), and just enjoyed being together.  

Macee had the cutest Minnie Mouse costume but refused to wear it  but we did manage to get the ears on.  Oh well, still cute with just the ears , maybe next year.  

Port Aransas Trip....we had such a great time with the Sahl family.   Fun days at the beach,   laying around the pool, and a couple of nights out with adults only... way fun.  

Happy Fall Ya'll!!   

Sweetberry Farm,  so fun!   Pony rides, pumpkin painting, hay rides, scarecrow stuffing, goats to feed, grilled corn (yum), we had so much fun.  Macee painted a pumpkin and we went on a hayride.  We pet the goats and picked flowers from a huge field.   We decided that we will definitely make this an annual tradition each fall.  T, you are so awesome and we love you so much. 

Best buds!  Max is 4 mos old now.   He is rolling over and prefers his belly when we lay him down.  He is a really good baby and is sleeping great, finally.  He's so fun.  What a joy and blessing to have two healthy babies.  We are so blessed.  

Our water heater busted and made a big, big mess.  So.....we were away from our house for six nights.  These latest pics are in random order and I haven't figured out how to go back and edit each individual pic so bare with me .   Chris went to a Cowboy game with his buddy Gabe, he had a great time and said the stadium was amazing and huge.....   Thank you God for the rain, Macee really had fun playing in the mud......we went to Hula Hut with the Distel's and Max was in a great mood, he likes Mexican food......we went to San Antonio with my parents and took Macee to Sea World , so fun.  This family pic was taken at the hotel room before Chris and I went out on a date, we went to my favorite place on the riverwalk, nice........ and lets see oh yes we stayed downtown Austin Sunday thur Thursday it wasn't too bad we made the most of it and strolled around downtown each evening.  However there is no place like home and we were all happy to be back in our own beds.  We still need to repair the sheetrock and other things but we have hot water now and thats a good thing.  Wow the things we take for granted.  This experience was inconvenient but it could have been so much worse.   

Macee wore her boots for Cohen's" Cowboy"3rd birthday party last weekend.   

" I want to mix it".  Pancakes are our favorite!  Macee is a good helper.  She asks for wipes to help clean up too.  

Max will be moving into his room soon.  We have a Route 66 theme going on....a little bit of everything from planes and motorcycles to cowboys and puppy dogs.  Its all good!

Macee is wearing her Daddy's boots,  they fit great and she loves them!  

We had a fun time at the zoo however it was way too hot for an all day adventure so we made a very quick loop and called it a day.

Our first family vacation.  We spent 5 days at the lake, met our new niece, a day at the zoo, shopping at the outlet mall, and one night in a hotel.   Whew....fun times!

Max had his first taste of food today.  YUM, rice cereal!
