busy...

Well, it's been a while since i've posted. I haven't sat in this office in a couple of weeks. We've been all over texas it seems going to birthday parties and working. Our back yard is under construction, Christmas shopping, the list just goes on...i'm sure most of you can relate.

I forgot my camera at all the major events we've gone to over the last couple of weeks as well so i don't have any cute pics of all the kids together at parties. we have had some quality time in brenham wit the family. that has been great. grasyn and addison are so much fun to watch when the are together. They are getting jealous of one another and fighting over toys...addison tells her no, no, no and grasyn just grabs and runs. it is hilarious.

our backyard didn't have a patio at all for addison to play on or for us to just hang out back there. it was just a breezeway to the garage. that made it hard to be outside. we had to play in the driveway and that's not fun, so we decided to poor some concrete for her to play back there...now we have concrete, are getting a color put on the concrete and an arbor put up...and none of it is complete. i'll post pics when it's done. we have been spending all of our free time staining all the wood for the arbor...horrible job. but it saved us a couple thousand dollars. it's definately been worth it.

everyone is doing well, addison is talking more everyday, people are beginning to have to really watch there mouths around her...she's copying a lot of things we say and my wonderful brother is trying to get her to say things she shouldn't...go figure...paybacks...

robert is still doing awesome after surgery. he is going to be on major blood thinners for another couple of months but all is going well and i sure hope that continues...pray for no accidents.

til next time

nana and pops with the girls

Saturday in B-town

Addison and I loaded up and headed to Btown Sat morning because robert had to work 24hrs. we got to nana's and went to lunch, then brad and coty came over with grasyn and coty and i took the kids out the mel's. The kids had a great time playing, brady isn't in any of the pics because i got the camera out to late...he was napping.

Here is a great pic of the girls together...Grasyn will definately be walking soon. She is getting so big and definately on the move, standing alone, brad and coty will be chasing her soon.


Grasyn had no problems taking a nap in the swing, not even with kids running all around her...she was in heaven.


our best attempt at a group photo, this was the one and only...none of them wanted to sit still except for kade, he's a big boy "4"


My little monkey, she had to be helped up the stairs only once before she was hanging from the rafters and climbing and sliding all alone...where does the time go, i feel like it was yesterday she was 2 wks old swinging in our living room.

Miss Addison was jealous of grasyn being fed by nana so we thought giving her a bite of baby food would quiet her down a little, didn't happen, she kept wanting more...gross.

playing in the toybox

I was in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner last night and all things got quiet...those of you with children know what this means...they are usually doing something they aren't supposed to...to my surprise, this is what i found. she took all her toys out and crawled in...

Dewberry farms...

Yesterday, Kelly, Stephanie, Kari, Lisa and I went to Dewberry farms with all the kids. They had a great time. the weather was beautiful and they loved everthing the place had to offer.

Addison in the flower picking field

She did a face plant, i just thought it was cute because all the kids were looking at her, Avery, Dawson, Riley, and Hayden

Avery, Addison and Dawson about to ride a train

our best attept at a group photo...

us on a ride

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COTY!!! 30!!!

it was yesterday, but i haven't been on the computer so you still get embarrassed even a day late. i wish i had a better picture but i still haven't gotten any photos from vegas, relying on brad and dana to do anything with a camera is futile...but here is a fuzzy pic of us...hope you had a great 30!

Trick or treating

Addison really enjoyed getting candy this year, and she enjoyed eating it even more...mysteriously all of her candy except the m&m's were regiven at the door that night but she didn't seem to notice. A really special thanks to Dana and Len for going with us trick or treating..it sucked not having daddy but you guys were a bonus...thanks for the help.

Answering the door

Addison had a great time trick or treating but she really enjoyed answering the door to see all the kids that came to the house...

Halloween dancing...

sorry you have to watch it sideways...
