Halloween 2012 at work

This year there were tons of haunted hallways.

The recruiters and me and Cynthia are Snow White, the 7 dwarfs, the prince, witch and me as the poisoned apple. It turned out real cute.

Check out my skull and crossbones bandana and patch on my worm.

The Wizard of Oz

Ninja Turtles

Big Tex (can I get an "ahhhhh")

Dora

My Ryan before school. She will be Capt America Girl during the parade.



The Day Big Tex Died

Friday... Phil, Ryan, Josh, Heather, Bron (as Ryan calls her), Coop, Hay Hay, Brent (Hay's boyfriend), and I went to the fair.

We were driving in when we saw the dark smoke and wondered what the heck was going on.

It was Big Tex... the poor fella passed away. Headlines news: "Big Tex died at 60." We can thank my dad for that :).

It was sad, but we still had a good time anyway. I think it was a really really good day. The three honey girls, their men and the three crazy kids. It was a great day. I am a little sad though that we didn't get a picture of Phillip, Ryan and I next to Bog Tex last year for Ryan to see. But supposedly, he will be better in 2013. I guess I will have to post pictures next year to see.

Hay and Brent

Me and my girl

Taking a break..... we walked alot. 

Well....Phil and I walked a lot. :)

The spot where Big Tex once stood.

Saturday, Ryan went to Fiona's princess birthday party. The REAL Belle was there. Ryan was so excited and couldn't imagine what she was going to see. Ryan thought she was so pretty and loved seeing her. 

Tuesday was burgers and art night at Nana's house. Josh cooked out, Brent and Phillip moved furniture and the kids decorated Nana's cast. She gets a new one every Thursday, so I thought it would be fun for her to have a bit of decoration for a day or two.

Finished artwork. Bronwyn wrote everyone's name on there.



We're cousins....we are three of a kind!

Friday night, Ryan and I met Granddaddy, Aunt Linda and Nelson at Grant's football game. This week we took her big bow and pom poms. She cheered and danced the entire game.

Random picture from Monday at school. They were both happy and smiley that day so I had to take a picture. 

Ryan got new Hello Kitty shoes. I love them on her. 

Saturday night we went to Grand Prairie to celebrate Amy Reeder's graduation from college. Pretty Gramna LOVES to dress the girls in matching outfits.

Izzy and Ryan

Ryan always wants to hold Elicia. And yes, Elicia does smile. Just not in many pictures of Ryan holding her. 

Gran Gran with her three matching greats. Mason was off running around.

Sunday at MOPs was fire safety night. Chris Hall came to talk to the moms and then talked to the kids. He asked if they knew what to do when there was a fire.

Coop: "When there is a fire, you go get things that you don't want anymore and you throw them in there." We laughed SO HARD. 

Today is field trip day. She is wearing her Halloween orange and black bow and wearing her silly smile. She wanted to do a silly picture. 

The field trip is next door to the daycare so they do not have to get in a car to go anywhere. As I drove away after dropping Ryan off, I saw where they were going to go. They get to pick their own pumpkin. 

Sweet face!



Skating is fun....well, if you are 7.

Bronwyn's birthday party was at Texas Skatium. I had not been there literally since I was in middle school. I used to love to go up there. However, I never skated after the age of 12. We would go and run around and not skate. I think my mom knew that, but never realized the waste of money that was :).

Ryan and Cooper weren't to interested. I WISH I had only asked them to tighen her wheels so that she wasn't slipping and sliding everywhere. They now have these little handy helpers which are great for 5-7 years olds. We might go back soon and have them tighen her skates to try it again.

I on the other hand was excited. I didn't get to skate much b/c I had to watch her. However, Aunt Hay Hay was awesome. She watched her for me so that I could go around a few times. It was fun.

What a beautiful pair of girls.



Saturday we went to Grammy's craft fair. She and her friends sold Crosses that they had made. Just gorgeous!!!!

Nana went and Hay Hay wheeled her around b/c she is still in her cast. She can walk, just not for a long period of time. She has a collapsed arch and charco foot. She had surgery in Sept and will be in a walking cast for a few months. Hopefully this will heal her so that she can go to England in June.

Nana bought all three kids an owl hat. They are so cute.

What can I say? She is my GORGEOUS baby. I remember back when Phillip used to say, "My baby isn't going to be sassy or pose or be vain." Well my friend, are ya going to take that statement back?

This little girl knows a camera and how to pose.

She must have learned it from Bronwyn. :)

Ryan went to a birthday party at ASI gymnastics, where she takes her class once a week. They got to pretty much run all over the place and do whatever they wanted. This is what Ryan wanted to do.



Pretty Granma bought Ryan some jewelry. She wore it for a few minutes and then was off to go shopping. She and Izzy pushed her grocery cart around all day that day.

Well....she learned the good ol' photo bomb. I was taking my picture for an app that Philip had where you can draw on a picture of yourself and Ryan photo bombed my picture. 



Fall is upon us!

Look at my fall baby! I added the picture from last year and one from this morning. I love fall. I can't wait till

the cooler air, fall festivals, Halloween...it is my favorite time of year.

2011

2012



Saturday, we went to a get together at Heather and Bob Parr's house. The Mears were there too and Ryan got to play in the rain.

These pictures are of Ryan and Ollie running after each other.

This is actually a pretty good picture of me and Phillip. Well, except for the fact that Phil's shirt is wet from the rain which makes it looks like it has stains all over it. Oh well. We had a good time.



Sunday Pretty Granma, Pawpaw, Uncle Ben, Aunt Katy, Uncle Luis, Mason and Izzy got to come over. We celebrated Pawpaw's belated birthday.

We tried getting pictures of all of the cousins and well we know how that goes.... not one of them smiled or sat without moving all at the same time. But cute anyway.

 Uncle Phil and baby Elicia.
