Cutie-Patootie

Here are some recent pictures too cute not to share! Our little seniorita number was given to her by Danni...this was way too cute on her!



She looks just like her daddy in these pictures.

Serious Sunday

When you get "old" and married, and life after college starts, the number of friends you once had starts to diminish. Then, from that point on you realize what friends were meant to be put into your life. You know...the friends who make you smile when they call...and the friends that you can't wait to tell that you are pregnant, or you got a new job etc. Well these are mine and Mitchell's closest married friends, and we live almost 7 hours away from each other.

These are the friends who when they were dating...and got into a fight she would call me crying and he would call Mitchell...making sure that he was "in the right." We love them dearly Danni (Danielle and Bryan). She is my squealy friend...the type of friend that really makes you feel that she is SOOO excited to see you. She loves everything whole-heartedly and is a super strong woman. But when something goes wrong, her world can crash down. Bryan, her husband is Mitchell's number one man...I've never seen my husband get so giddy when anyone calls...but him and Bryan can talk about nothing for hours...and make me and Danni laugh until our abs hurt. Well right now our friends are 7 hours away from us...and we can't be there to hug them, and let them know that everything will be all right.

Danni's mom was just diagnosed with having breast cancer. I don't know all of the details but I know that right now that family is hurting and scared out of their minds. Leta is a strong woman and Chris is a strong man, and I have seen how each of them live "off of" each other...Danni and Dusty (Danni's brother) live off of her vibrancy too.

This is a scary, scary time for them...and since I am not there to help Danni through any of this...I just want to ask all of you for prayers. Pray that Leta and fight off this ugly cancer...that she can beat it like many other women before her. Pray that Chris can be strong, and know that the Lord will get him and his family through every painful moment of fighting this cancer...and pray that Danni and Dusty can keep their wits and humor and love alive throughout the heartbreaking moments like chemo. I know this family will make it through this...but it would help out if you would pray for them.

Happy Birthday Petey!!!

We now have a 3 year old in the house and I just wanted to share a few pictures of the cutest white dog, with the brown patch over the eye.

Now truthfully, these are pictures of Texas' birthday last April, but it was a big enough celebration to cross over to November...Tex is singing "Happy Birthday"

4 Months Old

Our girl had an exciting pre four-month birthday weekend! First she was so excited to have her Neena and her Papaw here. Then we were able to see the Abilene High Eagles demolish the Cooper Cougars (once again).

Then we had a baby blessing...and she was such a ham up there on stage. Ms. Suzetta must have been making funny faces because Jaxon cracked up on stage and was so sweet. Our smiley girl makes life so easy...I don't even remember life before her.

First Halloween

Well we had a day today!! The festivities began with our Pre-game Halloween Outfit. Our chunkster supported a nice fleece zebra hat (with tail) and some black and white striped leggings.




When the party was ready to begin we dressed her in the cutest penguin costume ever!!! I couldn't get a clear picture because all she wanted to do was waddle.







Then the after game party took place and her uncle Michael joined us, and her cousin Jaklyn, and Aunt Lauren!! Pops was there too!!







Petey and Tex wanted to join the fun SOOO bad...look at how pitiful their faces are.

Our Growing Girl

First of all I want to apologize to all of you for making you wait 23 days to see new pictures of Miss Jaxon. Life has been hectic but the camera has been rolling...and so has she. She just rolls so fast now, the second I lay her down she is over that left shoulder and pushing her upper body up...it's too cute. Since my last blog, Jaxon has attended her first softball game and has been softballed out I believe. She liked it sometimes, but I can agree that softball can get boring at times. We did however get to enjoy her new warm clothes. We had to go to Old Navy last week and spend some money on some winter clothes because all she has are summer outfits. It was hard to believe that out of the hundreds of clothes she had, she only had 2 pairs of jeans and 2 sweaters. Well no worries now, I started grabbing clothes...and she would smile at everything I put in her face so I had to get it all. So not only is she warm...but she looks like the Malt-o-Meal baby (I don't have pictures of that yet..but they are soon coming!!

O we have also gotten big enough to sit in our Bumbo seat for longer than 45 seconds...she sits on the counter while I do the dishes...and she sits on the washer while I fold clothes...we have a great process working for us here. And when we aren't sitting in our Bumbo or rolling over we are enjoying a new found glory...the foot and toes. You've got to check out her flexibility!! Any way I hope these pictures hold everyone over till next time.

Action Jaxon

Pooter here, is just amazing me more and more every day. Just a few days ago I had her laying on my bed while I was brushing my teeth. When I turned around there she was on her tummy. I knew it was going to happen pretty soon because everytime I get up to feed her at night she has shimmied to her side...it was only a matter of time before she would roll herself over to her most comfortable position. It's crazy to think that before long she will be scootin' around.

For now she only rolls over her left shoulder...and sometimes gets stuck on that left arm. But most of the time she just rolls on.
