Kaitlyn 6 months old!

She is such a good baby! Her face lights up when she smiles.......and mine too!

Eating her first solid foods......she took right to it!

YUM!

I had put Kaitlyn on this quilt while I cleaned up her room. I looked back and she was under the crib!

We are learning to sit up and play with our toys!

Fall Festivities

Kaitlyn's First Halloween! Mom made this wonderful pumpkin costume along with the shoes and headband. Kaitlyn was such a big hit at both Fall Festivals we went to!

Austin has an arm on him already! He thought it was pretty neat that he had the same helmet as the football players on TV. "I have a helmet like that!"

Such a cute pair!

Kaitlyn doesn't want to miss a thing! She really enjoyed watching all of the kiddos at the Fall Festivals. She missed her last nap of the day, but as you can tell, she was a trooper.

Having fun with Pop & BeBe!

A quick family pic!

Halloween goodies for Blakely, Austin & Kaitlyn.

Austin's school field trip to a pumpkin patch. He was so proud of this pumpkin he picked out to take home.

Action shot! Jumping off the hay bales.....this was his favorite part of the trip.

October Fun!

I love this picture of Keith and Kaitlyn! How sweetly she is holding on to Daddy's finger.

Look at these twinkies!

Out for a walk around the neighborhood. Kaitlyn loves to look around and watch big brother ride his bike.

A little Halloween artwork for the fridge.

Kaitlyn rolls right off her mat now! Who needs toys when you have feet!

Such a sweet face!

Kaitlyn showing off her new moves to BeBe.

A good way to get those abs back in shape!

We have had a lot of fun this month. We have been just hanging around the house and trying to spend some good quality family time together. Austin is adjusting to his new schedule with preschool. He seems to be having a lot of fun. He is learning Spanish. He already knows red, blue and green in Spanish. Kaitlyn is doing great. Jenn has gotten her on a good schedule now. She figured out how to suck her thumb, so she is good at putting herself back to sleep when she wakes up. Jenn and I have been working on fixing up some things around the house. I planted some new grass in the front and back yard, and Jenn repainted our master bathroom. It is funny the things you can get done when Austin is at school.

We all went to the Plano Hot Air Balloon Festival. It was really cool to watch. Austin thought we were going to get to ride in one, but you had to be 10 years old to ride and it was $250 bucks a pop. I told him he could ride when he turned 10 and could pay his own way.

Hope everyone is doing well. Here are a few pictures of our family.

I can't wait 'til he can really mow. He has been wearing his Cowboy hat and boots all the time.

Austin is making a call to enter his first rodeo.

Preschool has gotten tough.

Kaitlyn must be the cutest baby ever.

Kaitlyn started using the exersaucer this month. She likes it for a short period of time.

My two girls sure are pretty. Mommy loves her little girl.

They sure are a good looking bunch.

I bought Kaitlyn a hat. I couldn't resist, she looks good in pink. This is her hip way of wearing it.

This is at the Balloon Festival. The weather was great and we had a great view of all the balloons as they took off.

Who is that cool looking guy with those cute kids?

Austin thought the balloons were really cool.

I am not sure what Austin is looking at here. Mommy and Kaitlyn are just hanging out on our blanket.

Kaitlyn had a great time. She stayed up until all the balloons took off and even watched the firework show without getting upset.

When it got dark all the balloons that were left on the ground lit up at the same time. It was really cool. Later that evening, there was a great firework show. We were in a perfect spot. The fireworks show was directly over our heads. Austin and Kaitlyn both watched every firework and had a great time.

Austin's First Day of Preschool (Sept. 5, 2007)

Austin is ready to go to his first day of preschool!

He got to pick out his new lunchbox. Go, Diego, Go!

Mommy makes sure Austin knows how to unzip and get to his lunch now that he is a big boy!

Waiting for school to start at 9am.

Austin has a big smile on his face as he enters his classroom! He is very excited! No tears....from Austin anyway!

It sure was quiet at home with Austin at preschool. We wondered what he was doing, but knew he was a having a good time with this new experience. He came home talking about songs, stamps, paint, new friends, teachers, and is ready to go back next week!
