The past ??? weeks!

TWO weeks ago I started to update the blog and here is how it started...
Oh my goodness! Has it really been six weeks?! We obviously have been having way too much fun to take time to talk about it all! Here is what we have been up to...

That is when I started to upload pictures and eventually became too busy/impatient to continue. Here I am two weeks later, after a lot of
"Is something wrong with the blog? It isn't updating posts."
"I looked at the blog again today... still nothing!"
"Is nothing going on that is blog-worthy?"

I decided to "fix" the blog! Here it goes...

In early October we went to see Shannon and Justin get married in the Hill Country! Brynlee was a flower girl... hopefully I will have pictures of that once the photographer gets the pics over to Shannon!


Zach, Andy and Ben - I love being around them and their lovely wives!


Liz - good friend, college roommate,
Zach's wife, the world's best future pharmacist,
and Brynlee's co-flower girl for the evening ;)


The only picture I got of the flower girl on wedding day!




We had a blast at the pumpkin patch in Celina


Our little pumpkin


Family pic at the Pumpkin Patch :)


Brynlee picking out her pumpkin.
She liked the one on the right!


On the hayride!



Feeding the goats


Staying a safe distance away from the hungry goats :)


She thought the longhorn was cool
...not a good sign ;)





Mid-October we went to the State Fair of Texas. The weather was perfect and we knew the fried food we wanted to try before we stepped foot on to the fairgrounds!




Oh no big deal... just hanging out in the Lion's mouth!


Andy and Brynlee watched a few too many disappointing Cowboys games!



We sold the truck. It crapped out on us and we needed a vehicle with better gas mileage anyways.



We attended the Annual Pumpkin Carving Party at Heather's house

Brynlee and her way too cool older cousins!!


Brynlee's pumpkin!


The weather in October was awesome so we spent a lot of time outdoors

On one of our walks I found an injured butterfly.
I was the only one who thought it was cool and brought it home with us.


Brynlee still loves to swing, especially when Andy is pushing her :)


She could really care less about the slide right now!


Then our baby girl turned 8 MONTHS old! It is getting harder and harder to get a good picture of her... she does not want to sit still and smile for the camera anymore!!




Halloween weekend we went to College Station to visit Cora Jane and the crew.

On our way to Brynlee's first Aggie Tailgate.
She was a pretty good sport!


Cora Jane and Brynlee in their Halloween costumes!


Brynlee the little bumble bee


Before we left town we went to a small pumpkin patch to take cousin pictures!
Aren't they adorable?!


Andy, Emily and the girls


And to wrap up the month of October we went trick or treating!

It was a lot of fun...


and Brynlee got a bunch of yummy treats! Too bad we had to eat it for her :)



I was going to try to completely catch up but I'm going to have to come back to it. Hopefully it doesn't take another 2 months before I get around to it :)

Good Morning!

This is how I start my morning! She will just play with her bunny (thank you mom!) until I come in to get her. I mostly took this video because Andy didn't think my other video of her pulling up was good coverage, so here it is!!


PS: We really need to lower her mattress now!

Time Flies

Oh goodness, time is just flying by... it will be Christmas before we know it! Long story, (somewhat) short, this is what we have been up to.

Enjoying lots of walks!


Getting rid of bees!



Drinking from sippy cups
(and regular cups when we are feeling crazy)!!!



Spending time at the park!






Cora Jane turned 1 month old!


We went to a party/shower for the Murphey's!!
(really it was just an excuse to love on Cora)





she loves me, I promise!


Brynlee turned 7 months old!




We decided to take the cupcake pictures outside
and she did WAY better than last month!




Brynlee started eating chopped up foods!


She has a new obsession with pulling the
bumpers down to see what is going on in her room!



Our house is up for sale!



And last but certainly not least, we kicked off
October celebrating Preston's 1st Birthday!!!
