Family pic

It's been a while since we had professional pics taken....but we finally got ourselves back with Matt Mrozek ( we LOVE him and have used him over and over since initially hiring him for our wedding) a few weeks ago, and he, once again, worked his magic in capturing beautiful pics of our family- our home is covered in his work .... more to come...

Chasey's preschool Halloween parade and party

Chasey had his costume parade and Halloween party at preschool yesterday....his original costume was IronMan....but quickly switched  to being a Dallas Cowboy....  once he got one of his early birthday presents of a dallas cowboy jersey/helmet.  He'd have worn that helmet to bed if his neck hadn't been so uncomfortable.  So he decided to just sleep with it instead  : )    The jersey, on the other hand, was slept in and worn for days on end.....Emily jumped right in at the party, made herself at home and bellied up to the snack table just like she was a part of the class.  She was so cute.








Emily's Second birthday party

We had Emily's ladybug birthday party at my sister and David's new home in Kingwood this year.  Emily's MeMaw and PawPaw love her so much, they made the trek in from Dallas....and we were able to host so many of my close (and long lost!)  friends and family as well.  







The Texas State Fair evening...

We hit the fair this year in the evening....the children truly loved the light parade and seeing all of the lights from the ferris wheel and gondola.....we usually go during the day, so this was especially different and fun for us.







Pumpkin Patch!

Family Update

Just a short update on what's been going on with us -

Chase:  Chase just finished his first year of preschool (only 1 day per week)- is doing so well with letter/number recognition and is working on writing the letters of his name.  He is incredibly athletic, spends most of his time outside playing basketball with neighbors, soccer at the park, riding his bike - and LOVES playing baseball right now (non stop...).  He is also quite the 'negotiator' ....bedtimes, treats and stuff right next to the register at the store.

Emily:  Is very verbally articulate.  She has an amazing, understandable vocabulary and speaks in understandable sentences.  Has been climbing on everything (practically giving me a heart attack) She is starting to sing ABCs and can count to 5.  She is definitely her daddy's girl....She hangs in with brother all day long, and is quite tough... Loves to go to storytime at the library, and this fall will start some sort of gymnastics/baby gym type program because she is showing impressive raw skill in those areas right now.  She grabs my tap shoes and wears them around the house all day, so we're looking for a used pair of shoes that will actually fit her so she can  play with that a little...

Mike:  Is doing great with his flying- has been with the company for almost a year and a half now.  Flies with another good captain and they enjoy their location when they are on the road.  Which is better than sitting in the hotel room all day/night.  Has his hands full with keeping the yard and the cars, etc. when he is home.

Kimmie:  Subbing a bunch and still trying to wrap up my PT cert....still teaching my preschool yoga and actually subbing a preschool ballet class here and there (I swore I'd never go back....but....)  Just raising my children and attempting to keep house and take care of my two dog babies from day to day takes everything I've got, but I still manage to fit in MOPS twice per month and take little 'field trips' with the children a couple of times per month to keep them occupied.  I'm blessed enough to have a mother and father in-law who, a couple times per month, (especially if Mike is away) come over and take the children for the day.

Well that's all for now.... hope to make another post soon.
