Fall Festival

Well, I will not be winning Mother of the Year because on the question where they ask "Did your kids have cute Halloween costumes weeks in advance waiting on them." I will have to check NO.

Brier's costume was thrown together with stuff from home and a toy hat from Walmart and I squeezed Baylor into her costume from last year. But after it was all said and done I only spent $7.00 on costume accessories this year so actually I'm pretty happy. So in the spirit of being cheap using what we already have, I thought they were still as cute as could be.






I don't have actual pictures from the festival because I didn't take my camera in. Once again, a mark against me on that award thing but hopefully I can get some from other people soon.

The Corn Maize

We took the kids to the corn maize for the very first time last Saturday and had so much fun. I definitely recommend it if you have kids this age because there is room to get down and run around.

High Cotton

Mom took the kids out to the cotton field while I was gone to enjoy before they come through and wipe it out in a few days.

What you get to do when dad is home

I know, I know. I need to keep this thing updated more but I'm swamped. Swamped at work and swamped at home. Right now we are enjoying Dusty being home for a few days. He has been keeping the kids for a couple of days and of course they got to go ride the horse on the cold day.

I am the vine

Since I'm a slacker mom and all, I haven't gotten Baylor's 18 month pictures taken. She turned 18 months on the 1st. But, I'm glad I waited. Brier needed his 3 1/2 yr picture done too. I love these pictures. They make my heart happy.

The grapes belong to Don and Renee Hill and they were kind enough to let us take pictures in them.

Remember Higgins?

Remember Higgins from here. He was so cute and little and look at Brier's chubby little face.


Well, he celebrated his half birthday on Friday. So he's 6 months old. Keep that in mind when you see him today.


While, I'd love to tell you that I've been the Dog Whisperer and Higgins is this great puppy that will do amazing things, I can't. He does do amazing things like sit and shake and all that good stuff. But, I had under estimated myself and controlling Higgins, Brier and Baylor was difficult and Higgins got to where he'd knock the kids down A LOT and hard. It wasn't his fault he's a puppy and look how big he is. I didn't really have time to train him and comfort the kids so Higgins went to Uncle Jody's boot camp and he's still there and they've made a close bond. So I don't know if he will come back home or not but him and Brier still get along really good and Brier can now ride him.

Lake Fun v2

We got to enjoy a couple days at the lake and it was perfect until the kiddos got sick running a temperature but luckily it was short-lived or else the ride home would have been no bueno at all.

Brier figured out how to wear his hat backward. How come all little boys figure this out on their own sooner or later. Of course he used persuading skills to get my dad, Russ, and even Kegan to all turn their's around too. I think in this picture, we were teaching him how to cross his arms and say, "what, you want some of me." Not really I'm hoping he will be very laid back easy come, easy go kinda guy.

Taking turns driving the boat. Pops and Russ are so good about sharing and taking turns. hehe

Then the diva side of her kicked in.
