Fun Happenings, Typical and Atypical

Elizabeth didn't have a first day of school, but she did have her first set of pigtails! She is growing up too fast!

My sweet baby...I just love her to pieces.

A view from behind is always needed to show that it's all long enough.

One day after school Amberly spent ages making a meal out of playdough for Daddy, only to find that he had fallen asleep before she could bring it to him. I told her to take a picture of all her work for him. She is such a sweet girl and loves anything crafty or artistic.


Another morning I got Elizabeth to let me put ribbons in her hair and got a picture before she pulled them out about 3 minutes later. I texted the picture to her Dad to show how cute she is.

Of course Wesley needed a picture of his new Lightning McQueen shirt too.

For fun on Labor Day we took the kids to Sea World for a few hours. We had spent most of the weekend finishing the painting of our kitchen cupboards (stay tuned for photos of that later) and felt that we needed to give them some family fun time too.

Elle Belle loves the carousel. We have to get right back on again and again.

We took Dad to the Azul show, because he hadn't seen it yet. These 4 keep us entertained.

The weekend after Labor Day was a Guys Fun Weekend here in Texas. Tom's brother Greg and his friend Mike came to stay with us and some other friends from Missouri came also to go to the BYU/Texas game. The kids absolutely loved having Uncle Greg to snuggle with, climb on, jump on, and play with. He and Mike were really good sports with them. I think Greg and Mike may have enjoyed some of the craziness.

Sadly, as is typical for me, we only got one picture of them with the girls.

Here is a view of the field from where they all sat. Must be half time or the beginning.

Want some cheerios?
