Lazy Day

We have had the BEST Saturday! Jim and I got to sleep in this morning (we LOVE you, Annie & DonDon!). When Kirby got back, we had Shipley's doughnuts for breakfast - so yummy. After a couple of errands and solid naps, we had lunch and a tea party outside. Then, we went to play with with the Hills. Now, we're watching Dora, and Kirby is dancing and singing, "I map, I map, I map!!" Days don't get much better than this!! Here are some pics of our fun :)

Two babies!

We will soon be a family of 5! We're expecting twins in July!

Christmas pics...finally!

We had a great Christmas in San Antonio and then Beaumont!

first look at all that Santa left behind


fun stocking stuffers!!


Hadley's trampoline was definitely the biggest hit - the girls jumped and jumped and jumped. Kirby is finally old enough for them to play together instead of just next to each other, and that was SOOOO fun to watch. Before long sweet Elliot will be right up there with them!!!


Santa brought Kirby an easel - she loves it and manages to draw on just the paper...most of the time!!


baby Elliot (or Eh-yott as Kirby calls her) She might be the best baby I've ever met - I heard her cry once for 2 seconds the entire time we were there, and it was time for her to eat - amazing!

it IS beginning to look a lot like Christmas!!!

It is "KNOWING"!!! We had so much fun catching snowflakes and looking at how "PIDDY" the snow was until Kirby's teeth started chattering and we had to come inside!

18 months old!

We are so thankful for our sweet, wonderful, precious 18 month old!

Little Dipper

We went to The Black Eyed Pea last week for dinner, and I gave Kirby a bite of one of their heavenly rolls dipped in their heavenly ranch dressing. Evidently Kirby thought it was heavenly, too, because she took a bite, opened her eyes really wide and said, "Whoa-ho-ho!!!" I think she was wondering why we had been holding out on her for so long!

Today she ate about 5 fries and a WHOLE cup of Whataburger ketchup - she just kept dipping and sucking the ketchup - so yummy!!!
