not my girly girl

pushing the lawnmower (not sure how she wrestled it away from Collin)


In her Longhorn gear!!



I do my best to make her girly.. I love that hat!

So, my mother is loving that my sweet little girl is definitely not a prissy little girly girl. My mom was not a girly girl and I was the most girly girl as a child, and my daughter proves to be the opposite. Of course, all she has to model and worship are two boys, so I guess that is to be expected. She can definitely hold her own against the boys and loves to tackle them... she's not afraid to take something away from them and then run like the wind! She says "mine" and "lawnmower" and makes good truck noises. She prefers to play with lawnmowers, weedeaters, trains, trucks.. baby dolls are for the birds!! I'm still putting her in dresses though and attempting bows in her hair.. .

zoo fun!

So, I'm still catching up.. we'll get there eventually... In September , (yes, I realize it's November).. Granny and Pop-pop came to visit for almost 2 weeks.. we had a blast! The boys learned how to throw balls from pop-pop, we went to the zoo and the arboretum, we ate lots of mexican food and just hung out! The boys were so sad when they left. These are pictures from the Ft. Worth zoo, which was so awesome! We will be back alot in the spring and summer.. the highlights were definitely the train ride, stagecoach, and the otters.. I think the boys watched the otters swimming for at least 20 minutes!

birthday girl!

I really didn't need to get her any gifts.. as you can see, so happy to be playing with yes, a tampon..


Does it get any cuter?

Finally some pics of the birthday girl from her big day (which, yes, was 2 months ago)

Hill Country Fun

So I'm taking us way back to August.. which feels like an eternity ago! We took a trip and visited my grandmother in Kerrville and then headed to the O'brien ranch for some fun. The boys were in heaven.. so much room to run around and a blonde harem to take care of them (Claire, Katie, jessi and Jamie). We had a great time. Ate so much good food, saw Jessi and Jamie feed the cows, and ate delicious chocolate chip cookies at Aunt Jojo's.

We're back!

I realize no one is probably reading this anymore since we've been away for so long, but our camera is finally working nicely with the computer again! Yeah! I have lots of catching up to do! I'll try to do at least one a day for a little while.. since these are my only records of what happened with my children!
