Begining of Fall

 

 

 

 Pinkalicious cupcakes! After meeting Pinkalicious and seeing the musical we can had to come home and make pink heart cupcakes - it was even raining outside just like the book. Fortunately, V did not turn pink.

 

 

Raining day twins!

 

Oktoberfest in Addison. Lots of fun at the carnival - they wanted to keep going on rides all day long. And Victoria got a HUGE stuffed dog that is as big as her - she named her Clifford the big white dog.

 

 

 

 

 

Visiting the ducks and turtles at Northpark. It was just 6 months ago O was there and he's grown so much! Taller and lots more hair!

 

 

 

 

Longhorns in the city! We took a visit to see some longhorns downtown. O wanted to climb the fence and run in the pasture, V just wanted to get back in the car because it was so hot.

 



 

 

St. Thomas Carnival where Uncle Tyler, Aunt Juliet, Kate and Alison came to visit, and Papa and Cecie came too! It was so fun and Victoria is in LOVE with carnivals! I was so proud of her for getting in the bubble and rolling around with Kate - they had a blast.

 

 

 

 

 O and V showing me their lovies: Lambie, Bear, Bobby and Froggy.

 

 

Pinkalicious

Victoria went to the Dallas Children's Theater Center's Pinkalicious Party and Play on a great Saturday rainy afternoon. She saw some friends, got her face painted, learned the Cupcake Dance, had lunch, made a craft and saw the Pinkalicious musical. She had the characters sign her Pinkalicious book and was so shy when she met both Purplelicious and Pinkalicious. She wore her blue party dress and stood out amoungst the sea of pink. All in a all a fun day!

 

So BIG

He just grew up so fast in a matter of days! 17 months and just the sweetest and toughest little guy.

 

End of summer fun

Feeding the ducks at the lake. This boy has an arm; he throws the bread right to the ducks! Give this boy a contract!

 

 

 

 

Playtime at the pool. Victoria was making us all soup: tomato soup, noodles soup, pea soup, meatball soup, and garlic soup with olive oil...yum

 

 

 

 

 

Victoria and I traveled to Mesquite to go to the Rodeo! We had a ball and we can't wait to go back. V really liked the cowgirls with glitter in their hair who did the tricks on the horses.

 

 

 

First Day of Moms Day Out

O'Neill had his first day of "school" at Skillman. Some of the kids in his class were crying but there were no tears shed by either mom or baby. He was greeted by Miss Mary who held him and waved bye to Mom - he was a little pensive but then he saw the bubbles and he was good. When I went to pick him up after three hours, he was so busy playing and didn't want to go!

 

Fin the Fish

Meet Fin, the newest member of our family. He's a fish and Victoria and JZ are thrilled! These two have been wanting a pet (specifically a dog) for forever! Baby steps!
