I'm a big girl now!

Well after a day of slaving over a hot stove (the microwave), and mixing key ingredients to provide the perfect meal (breast milk and rice)...it is safe to say that Jaxon does not like my cooking. The faces in these pictures and videos are enough to prove it. All smiles before...not so much after. Oh well...it makes for cute pictures. I also threw in a few pictures of her passed out in her swing and in her chair. I love how "peaceful" she is. Especially with her mouth wide open and her hand stuffed in it...it is a blurry picture but you get the idea.


Happy Thanksgiving!

Fussy Face

Our little princess is hardly ever angry. She is just the most content baby (which I have said a million times). Well this week she has learned what we call the "Fussy Face." She blinks her eyes, crinkles her nose, and cries out. It is just about the funniest thing we have ever seen, and I think she continues to do it because we laugh so hard at her. In fact her Uncle Michael decided he needed to record it last night...the camera is a little shaky only because Michael was laughing so hard while he was recording.

Now the best part of the video is when I try to console her by putting her on my shoulder, and she is "happy" for just a moment and she starts blinking again, and tries to complain but nothing comes out of her mouth! It's so funny...you'll enjoy! Oh, and at the end she really does start to cry...so you will get to see that too, it doesn't happen very often so we decided to keep it on the clip.

Jaxon n Petey

Here are some more fun pictures and a little video of her eating her toes. Her flexibility amazes me. There are also some pictures of Petey giving her kisses...and her kicking him in the ear...and petting his ear with her feet...and he wanted to lick all over her...and then I wouldn't let him...so he went outside and ate the waterhose (Texas is angry with him for not sharing). k the video wouldn't work...maybe next time!

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.
