Catch Up...

Back up to beginning of September. Never posted a pic of Audrey's FDOS. Poor girl! She loves Sonshine School! She loves all her girlfriends in class too!
Our good family friend, Lynnsey Kendrick was married in our parents backyard. Was so beautiful! Macy was in the wedding. The kids were all invited and had a great time too!

When I hear Brian say, "Mallory, come here and see this," it usually means he's been up to something. Here, he gets Halle in the seatbelt after she barely can sit up. They all enjoyed it of course!

I'm glad I got this pic of Jacob, because by Halloween night, he wouldn't wear the mask and chestplate. This was the day we bought the costume.

Jacob loves to read to Halle. He's still getting used to her wanting to eat the book, pat the book or do something else.

We went to Abilene for my ten year college reunion/Homecoming at ACU. The only picture I took was this when we visited my grandmother. We had a great visit with her and enjoyed the festivities of the whole weekend. Jacob was proud of his ACU "gameday" shirt he got that day. Audrey was not happy to be in this pic. She was busy playing the the toys at Grandmother's.

Fall party at Jacob's school started out with singing by the kids. Jacob I think sang the loudest. He did great!

Maw Maw and Paw Paw are visiting us right now. We all had black and orange on Saturday (not planned for the men). Had a busy and fun Halloween!

My attempt to quickly get pics before we headed out in the neighborhood. Should have brought my camera to all the other festivities of the week instead of waiting. :)

Because they were not wanting to do pics!

Our little sunflower did great.

This was in a neighbor's yard. The kids loved to drive by it everyday and say hi to Snoopy.

FDOS and more

First day of Pre-K! Hectic day! After being up with Audrey who was sick all morning since 4ish, Jacob and I got ready, took pics and waited for Brian to get to the house and pic up Jacob to take him to school. Not knowing how early we needed to be there...they couldn't have gotten there early enough! With the rain and the fact that it was the first day, I heard from Brian that it was like an amusement park! Glad I missed that part. But also sad I missed bringing him into his class that day. Oh well. He did very well. Walked right in and sat down. Great job buddy! Brian took some cute pics on his phone. Don't know how to get them to the blog though. So since the girls were asleep, Jacob took some good solo shots for me. He loved his first week and looks forward to going back each day!

Ignore my looks please! Long night

Backing up to Jacob's 5th Birthday. We had it at Bouncin Craze. Lots of fun for all! Can't believe Jacob is 5! He's been looking forward to it for a loooooong time!

And then there is Audrey and how she loves to be allllllllll over her sister! We constantly have to remind her that Halle is not the same as her baby dolls. She is real! I am shocked Halle did not get sick this past week when Audrey was, because she is literally in her face all day! I'm so glad she likes her so much but we do have to do some crowd control for Halle's sake a lot.

"Mooom" Doesn't Halle look comfortable?

3 Month Pics and Florida

Yes, she is well past 3 months, but here are Halle's 3 month pics. My great friend Lesley took the pictures. Lesley loves Halle and Halle loves Lesley! Thanks so much Lesley for the great pictures! These are some of my favs...

Last week we spent some time in Marco Island with Brian's parents and then more time at their house in Ft. Myers, FL. The kids had an awesome time. We came home sun kissed and waterlogged. Halle was even a good beach bum. I didn't have a cover up for her, so she borrowed sister's in the pics below.

Jacob and Brian road a waverunner together, but I didn't get pics of them. I'm not too good at getting pics on vacations.

This is where Halle spent most of the days under an umbrella. She did awesome on the trip!

She found her voice on the trip and this pictures shows her mid sentence.

This is where Jacob spent most of his time. I think he went down this slide about 100 times!

And then we went to a nearby water park. We spent over 5 hours there! So much fun.
