Love Creek Orchard & Pumpkin Patch 10/5/08

We decided to take the kiddos to Love Creek Orchard in Medina, TX to enjoy some fall festivities. They enjoyed making a scarecrow, running around the hay maze, the petting zoo, pony rides, painting pumpkins and much much more.


Night in Ole Converse Parade 10/4/08

This year Hailey, Jenna, Cristian & Mindy were in the Converse Parade for the girls dance studio, Mary Lou's. Of course they did wonderfully.

Comal County Fair 9/27/08

We decided to take the girls to the Comal Fair this year for family time and of course they had a blast. First we stopped by the petting zoo since we missed the rodeo, ate some dinner, ran into old friends and family everywhere, did some browsing of all the photos entered and the highlight of the night, the carnival and pony rides. They wore us all out, and passed out before we even left the grounds.

All the girl cousins






Back to school for the mom 8/25/08

Back to school for me too. This semester I am taking two classes (1) Children's Literature (very interesting and good to know) and (2) Mass Communications, also very interesting. I think I'm going to enjoy this semester and hopfully bring my GPA back up. :)




Emily 15 month check up 8/20/08

Our Emmy boo had her 15 month check up today. She is 32" tall and weighs 21 lbs 9 oz , so height is 90th percentile and weight is 20th percentile, in others words tall and skinny her doctor said and doing wonderfully. My poor girl also had to get 4 more shots, two in each leg. Emily is officially off the bottle (cut her off cold turkey) and eating everything we eat and then some. She understands most everything we ask her to do like taking something to Hailey or Daddy as well as to the trash. She gives us high fives, knows where to go to take a bath and has no problem putting her hand out and grunting about getting a banana in the morning before we head out the door for school.


Hailey's dentist appointment 8/21/08

Ok we tried again at the dentist office to fix Hailey's 3rd cavity. She did good taking the sedation medication, lying down with the gas and letting the dentist check her teeth, but as soon as she started giving her the shot in her mouth she wanted up. I got her calmed down and told her she could go to MaMa and PaPa's house afterwards and she said ok and lied down again to let them try again, but again she got up freaking out. Long story short we yanked that sucker out and all was done with, so now my baby has lost her first tooth at 4 years old. She thought it was neat to look at her tooth in her pink treasure box they gave her and the whole story about the tooth fairy coming to take her tooth and leaving money behind. The tooth fairy was extra generous ($5.00) with her because she had to have her tooth pulled instead of loosing it the normal way.

First day of school 8/18/08

Hailey with her Pre-K teacher Ms. Dee Dee. She was so excited about her new books and supplies and of course she had to show me her desk and supplies when I picked her up.



My Mom's b-day outing 8/15/08

The girls and I decided to take my Mom out for her birthday down to the Riverwalk for lunch at the Rainforest Cafe (very neat place, must try & see), took a stroll along the Riverwalk, took the kiddos to the Children's Museum (the girls loved by the way, especially Emily) and ended the day with feeding the ducks and playing on the play set at Brackenridge Park. I don't know how much was for my Mom and how much was for the girls, but she said she enjoyed her day.
