Bella Eats Cereal

The other night we decided to give spoon fed cereal a try. She wasn't real sure what to think of it and had a REALLY hard time keeping it in her mouth. It was pretty entertaining and a great photo opp.I'm ready Mama

What is this on my tray?


Quite possibly my favorite picture of all time. Love those eyes!!
She did pretty well but it is going to take some getting use too.

Love that girl!!

Madi Turns 6!

Madi turned 6 this month. It's hard to believe all these babies are growing up. She had her party at Acrosports. I'm pretty sure Terry had the most fun of all the kids. Same as last year. It's funny because last year I was pregnant at Madi's party and this year Bella was there with us.The Birthday Girl!!

Sweet Cousins!

Madi and Courtney

Bella and Ryan. They are so interested in each other. They laugh and smile at each other every time they are together. I hope they will be great friends.


Mom and Dad with the babies. Courtney was sitting with Madi at the table and I didn't want to interrupt her to take a picture. She wouldn't have been very happy with me. Can't wait until Chrismas to get some good shots of all the kiddos together.

Random Pictures

I am very aware that the majority of you only visit my blog to see pictures of our growing girl. I can't say I blame you because I can't get enough of her and I see her everyday. So here are some random pictures from the last month. Also you can click here for her 5 month pictures that I finally posted.
Ok so there weren't very many random pictures once I started dowloading them. Oh well!!

More Pics from Halloween

So I finally was able to get pictures downloaded off of my camera. Here are a few more pictures from Halloween.
Here she is with our neighbor "M" who LOVES Bella. She pushed her around to trick or treat for a few minutes.

Happy Halloween

Bella's first Halloween was pretty uneventful.  She was a ballerina, a very cute one at that.

She tuckered out pretty quickly.  That would be the reason it was pretty uneventful.  I took more pictures of her on my new memory card.  I am having trouble downloading from that card.  I need to work on it.  That would also be where her 5 month pictures are.  I will get those up as soon as I can.

SFA Homecoming

October 24-25, 2008

Terry and I headed to Nacogdoches for Homecoming weekend. We met up with Lori and Adam and Crystal and Donald for lots of SFA fun!! As everyone probably knows, SFA is our favorite place in the world. The whole time we were there we were scheming about how we could move back.

The Fredonia Hotel welcomed us upon our arrival.

After we got checked into the hotel we met up with an elementary school friend of mine, Jami Shaw. She is from Kilgore and is getting her Masters at SFA right now. It was so fun to be able to hang out with her for the night. She went with us to the Bonfire.

Terry and I. He was wearing my Deer Park sweatshirt. It was a little tight on him. I bought it when I was pregnant so it is big on me now. He is a goofball!!!

This sign was hilarious. There are several houses on this property that college students live in. They put signs on the for sale sign to discourage buyers.

Saturday was game day and you can't go to the game without a little tailgating or Lumberjack Alley as they call it.

Lori and Adam got in on Saturday and met up with us at Lumberjack Alley.

It got super hot in the sun so moved over and sat in the grass. We didn't stay there very long because we were loosing big time and we decided we would rather go to La Carretta. (I know you are jealous Kelly).

Saturday night we hit the town and visited some of our old stompin grounds.

Adam and Lori.

We had a great time in Nac and got some much needed time away from reality. We missed our sweet girl so very much!! Can't wait till the next trip to East Texas.

Janet Jackson

What better way to spend a girls night with your best friend than with Miss Janet.  Niki had tickets through her work and we got to sit in a SUITE!!!  I'm pretty sure I'm spoiled for life from that experience.  Fajitas and all!!  I honestly can't even remember the last time Nik and I had done something completely by ourselves.  We had a blast singing to every song.IMG_65696

Niki and I in the suite!
