Our Trip to Arkansas

R meets Great-Grandma W

R meets Great-Grandma E

R meets Great-Grandpa B

R meets PaPa for the first time...he's a big hit!!! (A keeps telling PaPa that R looks like him!)

The girls had Fall Break at school, so the kids and I took a quick trip to Arkansas. R went on his first airplane ride at 5 weeks old, and he did great! T and A got to introduce him to a lot of his extended family...he met his two great-grandmothers, great-grandfather, his MiMi & PaPa, Uncle Kenny, Grandma & Grandpa C, and even more aunts, uncles and cousins! It was especially important to us that he got to meet the great-grandparents, so we were thrilled we were able to see them, and all at their own homes and not hospitals! Everyone agreed that he is a keeper!!!

Big Sisters...

The girls are absolutely loving being big sisters!!! Just wanted to share a few pics of how great they are with R, aka Buddy, Bubba, Little Man...the list goes on and on!!! : )

Limo Ridin'

Can you see the exitement in her face???

Looking cool in the limo...
Looking way cool in the limo...
The LIMO!!!!!

The girls got to go on their limo ride the other day. They sold enough items in their fundraiser to earn the limo ride (thanks so much to everyone who helped!!) and they were SO excited!!! They have now done one more thing that I have never had the pleasure of doing...

R is 1 Month Old....

T's special sign...
A's special sign...


R was 1 month old on Oct. 8th!!!!! I can't believe it has been a month already since we heard the wonderful news that he was here!! T and A each made a "1 month" sign to have in a pic with him...they both got very creative. They are still loving him to pieces, and have become very big helpers, especially on "binky patrol"!! : )

Princesses on Ice

Jasmine was one of A's favorites
Cinderella was a big hit also!
A got to touch several of the princesses' hands, and the fairy godmother...very exciting!!

A has been working very hard at going to school without crying in the mornings, so as a special treat we had a Mommy/A night and went to the Princesses on Ice show. Needless to say, A had a blast, and she ended the night by getting to touch the hands of several of the princesses. We were in the VIP (very important princess) section, so she was in the front row where she could see ALL of the action!!! The show was great, and if they come to your town I highly recommend going. I was never a princessy type, but I really enjoyed the show!!!

R...growing bigger every day...

I thought this was a cute pic of R...he fell asleep and was VERY relaxed. This is an odd look for him...he is a baby who LOVES to be swaddled all the time, so to see him sprawled out like this is funny!

No Training Wheels!!!!

The training wheels come off...
Well, she definitely LOOKS like she's ready!!
And she's on her own!!!!!!

A is getting too big for the bike she got this past Easter, but we told her that she couldn't get a bigger bike until she learned how to ride without training wheels. A few weeks ago, she got brave and decided she was ready to give it a try. We took her up to the baseball fields near our house, and she gave it a shot. She actually did very well, but she kept saying she was sorry when she would fall...I think we heard "I'm sorry" at least 1,000 times!!!
