OU/TEXAS Weekend

 Judi called Saturday morning and said she was going to watch the kids so I could go to the game with Brian, Port and Bob.  I haven't been to a game in 6 years!  I quickly got showered, schedule written, and everyone ready to go...we leave early for this game:-)  

We took Port and let him ride a few rides before the game.

 This guy loves his quality time....his cup was quite full by the end of the day!  It was so fun sitting with my BIG boy!

 We also got to sit next to the Grigor's to my surprise...Brian new:-)  

 This might be my favorite shot.  I loved watching Port take in everything Grandad and Brian had to tell him about the game.  He was taking it all in like a big kid.

Port Robert you are getting so big!  It was so fun celebrating your first OU/Texas game together!  Champ thinks you should have a permanent ticket due to our BIG win!

Happy Birthday Ella!

 Ella is 3...or 5 as she might tell you!

She chose to eat lunch at Johnnies with some family and friends.  Her favorite part of the meal was the singing card of course!

 Then we headed to the ballerina party at Lolli and Champ's!  

Lolli made tutu's for everyone...aren't they adorable!

 Here are a few friends that joined us for ice cream!

 Then a little dance party for the little girls!

 Once everyone when home, she really turned it on:-)

 This might be my all time favorite picture.  It totally shows her crazy fun personality! 

 Mostly, her love for Josh and Jenny!

Happy Birthday beautiful girl!  We are beyond blessed to call you our daughter.  God has amazing plans for you this next year and we are expectant for amazing things!  

Happy Birthday Millie!

 Millie had a princess birthday party for special little girls.  Everyone got to dress up and come celebrate sweet Millie.  Ella absolutely adores sweet Millie, so she couldn't hardly wait!

 Millie comes from an amazingly talented family of women, so I can only expect the same from her one day.  Her sweet aunt, Maggie, made this amazing cake for her!

All the girls got to make crowns, ice cream sundaes, paint their nails, and eat cake...I dream come true!   We, mommies, got to drink some amazing iced coffee and enjoy sweet friends.  

Great job Al!

We love you Princess Millie!

New Rainboots

 We pulled out our rainboots and got feet full of blisters. 

 Lolli to the rescue!

Everyone got a new pair of boots...Haynes are batman:-)

Port got some new cool big kid boots and Ella got a matching jacket with her adorable furry red boots!

Thanks Lolli!

Brian and I have booked the best babysitters around so that we can go to a few of the home football games.  This was the sky one night!  Our family just loves looking at the sunsets and usually my kids will say, "Look what God did for me!!"  We decided that He was just showing off this night!

The battle of the car...

Brian just can't quite understand how the kids are able to get the car so dirty so quickly!  I just expect it to be that way....probably not completely okay:-)  This guy might be our number one contributor to the mess!  This is a picture of him with his after-school-treat...which he happened to poke a hole in....so we wrapped it in a diaper (thanks Halle!).  

As I say with my house...one day my house will be spotless, but not in this season!

Disney on Ice

 JuJu got us all tickets to Disney on Ice...Toy Story.  We got to do a few fun rides at the fair before heading into the performance.  Lolli went to get everyone snow cones at intermission...cousins were delighted!!!

 The big boys LOVED climbing the wall, so Haynes was determined to get his chance too!  He made it to the top, we weren't surprised, but was too light to come down by himself.  The man quickly climbed up to help him get down:-)  

 Ella and Preslee loved riding together.  They would fly by and wave like Miss America.  Love these sweet princesses...can't wait for Harper to join them!

These three just love anything as long as they are together!

Bug Walk

 All the kids had "Bug Walk" parties in their classes a few weeks ago.  Haynes was determined to get a butterfly, unfortunately only his friend Ella caught a beautiful Monarch for us to see.  My favorite part of his party was when we got to the "search" sight Haynes was sitting by himself waiting for his cage.  I walked up and asked why he looked sad...his response was, "I miss my best friend Beau!"

(Beau was at the beach with his family)  I love that God has given him such an amazing buddy, but we had to talk about making other friends too:-)

Ella's bug walk was quite muddy....she didn't actually find a bug but she sure did look cute:-)

I can't find Port's pictures from his trip, but it was amazing!  Port, Dax and Samara were the only kids that could ride bikes without training wheels...dad's were quite proud!  They did find a few black widows on their hunt....WOW!

Lion King

 We took the Billingsley kids on a family night.  

They make 6 kids seem easy...next time Annie will have to come too!

*Everyone is roaring like a lion!

 They all got books in their meals, so Lainey read to them on the way to the movie.  

Sure makes for a quiet car...

We went to see the Lion King in 3D!
