Fun with Cousins

Last week Mom, Sarah, Amber and the kids came up to visit. The kids had a great time playing together, Olivia and Brooklyn played non stop, Cale would just follow them around and get into everything, and well Gusterson (Gus) just let the girls love on him. He's pretty squeezeable. It was great to see everyone.

What's happening in this picture:
Brooklyn being dressed up as a ballerina says that people are suppose to catch her... therefore she chose Libby to be the catcher. As you can see from the look on Lib's face she didn't want to be.

Tiny Dancer

At Justin and Laci's wedding they had a DJ... there was some people that liked the dance floor, but Brooklyn LOVED it. I've never seen her do anything like this. When just about everyone had left she was still dancing the night away, and even while we were loading up the car she begged me to go back and dance. If this doesn't make your day I don't know what will. On the way home I asked her where she learned those dance moves? Her reply: I just thought them in my head. She's my girl!
One thing I wish I would have also video taped was Justin and his sister Holly dancing together. It was so cute, hope someone got that on tape.

The Jenning Wedding

Last weekend was quite eventful. Jonathan was in Austin the whole week before, staying there longer than we expected so it was just and me and the kids. We all had to go to Jonesboro/Gatesville for the weekend since me and the kids were in my cousins Laci's wedding. So Friday when Jonathan got done in Austin he headed to Nannie and Bills until me and the kids got there, once Brooklyn got out of school on Friday we headed off as well. For those of you that don't know it started raining pretty much all over Texas last Thursday. It rained off and on the whole 2 hours and 15 minutes to Nannie and Bills, but the kids did awesome so that made the ride that much easier. Friday night we had the dinner rehersal... it was raining. FYI Brooklyn said she didn't need to go to the rehersal because she already knew what to do. Yeah she pretty much knows everything already. (scary I know she's not even a teen) The wedding was Saturday night, and yes it was still raining. Did I mention this was an outside wedding! Not really what you hope for on your wedding day, we all got pretty muddy and wet, but it still turned out beautiful. We had a crazy, but good weekend. Here's some pictures...

Amber, Olivia, and Gus joined us at Nannies it was great getting to hang out, the girls had alot of fun together.

Cale was the ring bearer and Gracelyn (Justin & Laci's daughter) was the flower girl along with Brooklyn, but since she can't walk her and Cale took a ride in the wagon down the aisle.

It was a beautiful wedding, special thanks to Justin and Laci for letting us be apart of it. We love you. Congratulations. May you share many wonderful years together.

For our favorite Uncle Zac

We love you Zacky

Labor Day Weekend

We went to Stephenville for family fun this Labor Day Weekend. All the cousins and Aunts and Uncles were there. Lots of kids running around and having a great time.

After a long and fun weekend this is the kids maybe 5 minutes into the ride home.


And with Dad in Austin this week my two snuggle bugs slept with me, but first snuggled with each other and then fell asleep.

A Night Out

Well thanks to Jannie and Larry this past Friday Jonathan and I went on a wonderful date. They gave us awesome tickets to see Grease ft. Taylor Hicks (4th row seats) at the Bass Hall in Fort Worth. It was great!!! I've never been to the Bass Hall and neither of us had ever seen a musical performance like that. We really enjoyed it. Thanks to Steve, Julie, Mom, and Dad for keeping the kids. We were able to enjoy a kid less night to ourselves, we had a great dinner at Mi Cocina, went and saw Grease and walked a little around down town. Thanks to everyone that helped us out, we had an awesome time.

I wasn't suppose to take these next two pics: "No photography in the Bass Hall" I was going to attempt to take one more picture, but Jonathan was afraid they might kick us out. I wanted to take a picture a private balcony. You know like what Abraham Lincoln was in when he got shot. It was so cool, hopefully I'll one day get a seat there.

And this picture is from about 2 weeks ago when Jonathan and I went out to see The Time Travelers Wife. Didn't Brook do a great job of taking our picture.

Cleaning Day!

The other day while cleaning Brooklyn gave us all durags to wear. You know like Cinderella wears, Brooklyn's always liked to clean like that.

She's my princess


Even our Cale Bale wore it for a little bit, but the wrong way.

He looks like a little girl. ha
