Happy New Year! & Happy 11 Months!

Wow!!! 11 months!?! Here is a shot of our sweet, tiny, teething little girl...excuse the drool in the picture. She is working on her 4th tooth in a month's time. Starting late but cutting them fast can be tough.

Daddy and McB gathered a few leaves out of our yard...5 if you ask McB for the count;) Here are a few shots of him swimming in the leaves.

We started the New Year by attending an awesome birthday party for McB's friend Giddy-up. McB joined a few of his other toddler friends at the party for a hunting trip on a giraffe bus. Mom, Dad and baby sister tagged along. Cwa LOVED the opportunity to ride in a vehicle without being strapped into her car seat. She also LOVED the animals.

Here are a few shots of Cwa checking out the animals and enjoying the bus ride.

We fed a lettuce and cookie eating giraffe. McB saw a few of the older kids and adults feed the giraffe a piece of lettuce out of their mouth. Without any prompting from his parents, he decided that he would give that idea a shot.

Here is McB with his hunting buddies.

Hunting from the hunting vehicle.

This sweet giraffe was not too sure about a bus full of toddlers and a squealing baby.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas 2011! We have been very blessed this year and we look forward to what the Lord has planned for 2012.


Here are a few shots of our family decorating for and celebrating Christmas in our new home.

McB and Cwa played with dad's old stuffed toy ornaments. She enjoyed watching him run over the toy soldier with the toy car ornament.

They both LOVE Christmas lights. McB is dragging the "light train" through the house and trying to keep it away from his sister.

Decorating the tree.

Stopping at the "walk of lights" is the best part of the drive to Dallas.

McB had to be told several times to slow down and stop running into people as he made his way through the lights.

Cwa is getting really close to walking. We are sure this also means she will be getting into more mischieff:0

They both had tons of fun opening presents!

She LOVED the paper and bows.

...seriously mom?

10 Months

We celebrated Thanksgiving at Granny and Paw Paw's house. The festivities included eating, riding horses, craft time, decorating for Christmas, dancing, playing games, hunting, and eating some more:) Cwa dressed in her hunting git-up but momma would not let her (or McB) join daddy on the hunting trip.

Here is a shot of the cousins during craft time.

Momma, McB and Cwa riding Concho. Cwa loves horses...McB does too, but he has decided that he does not love taking pictures.

She is getting her 2 front teeth for Christmas this year.

Double Trouble in our backyard...Triple if you include our dog Harley.

The Moss' joined us in K-town for an early Thanksgiving. Here is a shot of all of us at the REALLY early Christmas Lighted Parade.

Working on their horsemanship again.

Cousin K joined McB at school for his Thanksgiving party. Cwa tagged along too. She thought she was big stuff getting to play with the big kid toys at school.

McB and Cwa LOVE their daddy.
