Random and Exciting Days!

I always like to catch up over a couple of months. :) This girl dresses up every day. I know that isn't unusual for a little one her age, but I just love to see what she comes up with. This pic is one of her many combos she put together.

Halle has always humored me with all I put on her and do to her. She pretty much goes with the flow of everything which is great! I love this hat on her. So squishy!

One of the few family pics before Christmas.

Tried to get a decent one in front of the Christmas tree.

One of the few nice days in January. Jacob got dressed head to toe in his baseball attire and played with Brian.

Audrey's idea of how to play in the snow. Baby looks a little cold!

Our makeshift sled. Was a blast for the kids!

After running out to take some quick pics of the kids in the snow, this is how I found Halle. She didn't want to wait on me to return before she got her food. Using her fingers as a spoon. It was hilarious!

Halle's favorite toy for the past 3-4 months! I wish I could show you a video of her dancing to the music! Her rear shakes up and down so fast.

Starting Audrey's 4th Birthday off right... biscuits and chocolate gravy!

Ode to mimi. The day Audrey turned 4, was bitter sweet for her. She had to "mail away" mimi to another little girl who needed one. Though it was rough, we have made it through this hurdle in our life.Daddy/Daughter Princess Tea.

Not our usual bath style, but had to get a picture of all of them together!

No, this is not an attempt to cut Halle's hair by myself. She has a full fledged mohawk and we love it! Nothing a bow or headband can't cover up.

Poor Halle, doesn't get many pics taken by herself. Brother and sister are usually by her side always. Here are a few I caught alone.

Another favorite toy of hers. I use it to get her to crawl. She doesn't want to do a whole lot by herself. She has two siblings who do everything for her! So, this toy is her motivation to move.

New found thing to do...play with her tongue.

Not so new found thing to do, take her headband off! No matter how much she takes it off, I will continue to put it back on!

Otherwise she looks like a sweet boy with a mohawk!

Here's to a happening Spring! Halle will be one very soon, so I'll try to post some then too!

Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving at Bunny and Pop's. It was busy and lots of fun for all! Unfortunately, the first few days my camera did not get used. And then the last day I used it all day. So here is a recap of that day in pics. Chad, Macy and Meg left Okc early and Halle was asleep most of the time. We had fun eating, shopping, roasting smore's, eating, playing outside (the weather was great), eating and much more.
We started the morning off with a new family tradition that we used to do years ago. Football! Many of the plays you would not see in the NFL or anywhere else! Pop is good at trick plays, so I'm pretty sure our team won.

It is hard to tell, but one of our plays below included Audrey carrying the ball in the back of her shirt. It worked well!

Picking yummy tomatoes from Bunnies and the grand kids herb/vegetable garden.

The creek is always lots of fun.

Making cookies w/ red hots.

Tire swing fun!

Dollar store guns for the boys brought about lots of action too! Don't they look mean!

I don't know who looks meaner! Our sweet little girly girl! :)

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.
