She loved it!!!!
I don't care if it is...They look too cute!
This is before bed last night. Todd and I were finishing dinner and I heard little giggles coming from Todd's chair. My two little monkies were cuddled up watching Loony Tunes and giggling. Love these sweet little boys!
Henley is! She's hoping her Aggies win tonight too.
I took the kids down the street to Alpaca Day. Yes, there is a field not far from my house that has Alpacas. It used to be a house and when it burned down Alpacas appeared. Yes, it is strange. But it was something new to go see.
While they were very cute and soft, they were not nice! This cutie kicked like a mad man if you touched him anywhere from his face to his tail. Not super safe for three year olds. We didn't stay long. We will now just admire them from the road when we drive by everyday.
Up next, BOWLING! This was the first time we have taken the boys bowling. We had five families and tons of kids. Dad handed off the ball to Owen...
He lined it up and let it rip. I loved his excitement! All it took was one pin to fall and he was thrilled.
Brody thought this was great too! He also discovered the "Claw" machine. It's that machine with the joystick you use to control the claw and when it releases you try to capture and stuffed animal. Todd gave Brody $1.00 which equals 2 attempts. First try, nothing. Second try, SUCCESS! What? No one ever gets a toy! B-Boy got one on his second try! (You can only image how upset Owen was when he didn't get one after many trys. Life lesson learned...you don't always get something just because your brother does)
We enjoyed LOTS of popcorn
Georgia tried to console Owen about his inability to capture a stuffed animal.
While Sister didn't get to go bowling, she got to go shopping! Look at sassy-pants with her purse and cart. Guess she sees momma doing this lots!
She even got to drive a car! It was a busy day for everyone.
I've been itching for Henley to start walking. I wasn't near as eager with the boys because I was terrified they would take off in different directions. BUT I'm ready for Henley to get to steppin'! She has lots of cute dresses (she can't crawl without getting caught up in them) and cute shoes (she scuffs up the toes when she crawls). Enough about Mommy, Henley is walking!!!!!
We headed out to Septemberfest this weekend. It's a great festival every year benefitting The Museum of the Southwest. Friday night was kid-free fun at the Preview Party, and today, Todd and I tool the kiddos out there.
Of course, she had to be woken up. Poor thing, she likes to sleep in and due to her brother's schedule she rarely gets to, and now...she has places to be herself!
I have been experimenting with finger foods frantically these last two weeks. Mainly because she has started to refuse baby food, but also I knew she had to be able to feed herself at CDO. I have been giving her everything Todd and I have been eating (SO should have done this with her older brothers!) and she loves it. I haven't found anything she really doesn't like. The one thing she loves that I have a hard time with is meat sticks. I'm big on texture and that is NOT a good texture!
Big Girl! We have also totally done away with the bottle! Of course, she didn't care as long as she got her milk in some kind of container. She does very well with a straw so I stick to straw sippy cups mostly.
I was really hoping she would be walking by the time she went to CDO, but mostly for selfish reasons. 1. So she is clean and dog hair free 2. So she can wear ALL these cute dresses
Such a pose!
Henley has turned into a fish and she loves her freedom
I know...Mother of the Year. This might not look safe, and it's probably not, but it was FUN!!
Owen liked to stand on the tower and speak to his people, but did not attempt the slide.
ALL over the pool.
Get together for a family picture! Thank you!
What is he doing? Doesn't he know he has to make kissing noises in order to score a smooch from these lips?
Fish Boy! Brody had truly LOVED his summer in the pool. He loves that Owen doesn't like to be out in the middle of the pool. He can take anything he wants from Owen and he knows Owen won't come get it. Smart kid.
Hey Mom, I need food, potty, juice box,.......
She is just too cute!
Dad with his water babies
Farewell Summer. Sad to see it end!
