Love this little two year old!

This is one of my very favorite faces Anna Kate makes.  She is usually saying “Yep!” or thinking about doing something silly when she makes it!

And this is the lovely bride, Brenda, who did an amazing job planning her incredible wedding!  During the music in the ceremony, Noelle leaned over and said, “Mommy, this music sounds like royalty.”  So cute!  Tonight was so elegant, yet laid back and fun!

Anna Kate and Emme were chatting it up; this is the only pic I got of Tate because the little buddy was on the move!

Emme and Noelle had a blast hanging out!

Emme even got to hold Rose; she’s such a big girl!

And then there were these two…

To eat her eggs, she dumped them off of the plate onto the table… next time, we should just serve her eggs fresh to the table!  Silly Anna Kate!

Cuddle Buddies!

The Skittles did so great at their first soccer practice!  Noelle had SO much fun!

“Red light, green light” learning ball control

Noelle kept doing her hands in the shape of a heart at Mike… it was hilarious!

IMG_7140

I was really surprised at how well Noelle did considering this was her first practice… the other girls were so sweet to her!

IMG_7141

At the end of practice Coach Suzanne let the girls pile on top of her – they loved it!

IMG_7148

Here are the cute little sisters!  Thankfully they have each other to play with while the big girls practice.  They had a blast too!

This is Carson.  She got into the mascara right as her Mommy was getting them out of the house.  Although her Mommy was stressed, it was so so cute!

And here is some proof of our Texas drought.  It is really really hot and dry.  We desperately need rain!

Tanna got these dress-up hats and had us over for a tea party this morning… it was too perfect and something Anna Kate has looked forward to all week long!

IMG_7164

“Cheers!”

Lovin’ on Landon!

September 1st, 2011

IMG_7121

We went out to eat with the Fearings this week to celebrate Landon’s birthday and hang out with our buddies… the girls are crazy about this guy!!!

IMG_7122 IMG_7114

I love this “bling” picture of Landon and Anna Kate, and I love this picture of Rose I took while we were getting ready to go to dinner. 

IMG_7129

Another day this week we went swimming with some friends.  We really wanted a picture of the kids together since we haven’t gotten that many, but Landon wasn’t in the mood for hugs.  Heather and I were both telling Anna Kate just to grab him and hold on… it was so funny!

Here’s Landon trying to escape the love cage!  Smile

Morning Duo!

Mike takes Noelle to school in the mornings, and they have become quite the morning duo… Noelle even picks out her Daddy’s clothes to match hers every now and then!
