What a difference a day makes...

Ellie LOST her first upper tooth last night. It has been almost a year since she lost one of her lower teeth so she was very excited. Mommy is excited that we can already see the new tooth coming in! So she won’t be snaggle-toothed for very long!

BEFORE…

AFTER…

I love FALL!

My little Pumpkins carving our PUMPKIN!

Today was a beautiful day to be outside so we used the time to carve our annual “Longhorn” pumpkin. We think that Daddy is especially gifted in this area! He is quite a pro at carving the perfect BEVO!

Happy Birthday Oliver

The Invitation...

I actually made this after the “party” since it was just family and Oliver needed something for his baby book. Hopefully he will understand by the time he is old enough to read this blog!

The Birthday Boy…

The funniest video of blowing the candles out… (watch 'til the end)

Almost TWO!

We took Oliver to the mall today to "Build a Bear" (actually he built a BEVO) and to have his 1st ice cream cone to celebrate his 2nd bday. He will actually be TWO on Sunday, but since we will be in Dallas for TX vs. OU and the kids were out of school today we decided to do it today. Needless to say, he LOVES the ice cream cone!!

My babies can SWIM!

Before this week, Luke could not leave the side of the pool to swim and of course Oliver, who is 22 months, is not swimming! After 5 days of 20 minute lessons each day they are both swimming. Amazing!!! This is the video that we gave to thank ms. gwen, their swim teacher.

Breckenridge, Colorado

We all escaped the heat for 10 days in Colorado. It was AWESOME! The kids loved being outside again and learning how to ride on a tandem bike with Daddy. Here are some favorite memories from our trip.

These are pictures of us going down the sledding trail (who knew this was buried under the snow in the winter)

The trail....and lift chairs that get you there....

Ellie and Luke loved this bungee jumping thing in Breckenridge. It was on top of Peak 8 where they had a great sledding trail too (see other pics). I hope everyone is enjoying their last couple of weeks before we get back to school!

Ellie is officially a Surfer Girl Now

We visited "JJ" (Jennifer Judkins) in San Diego and Ellie found a new love. Too bad she has to be at the ocean to enjoy it. We will be back soon to enjoy the surf Jenn. Thanks for being a great host!
