Dewberry Farm! (part one)

We had such a great time at Dewberry Farm today! We went with our good friends, Matt and Leigh and their little girl, Ryan. We started out in the kiddie play area where they got to swing, slide and climb! Right up their alley! Next we moved on to the goats and pumpkins! I tried hard to get some good shots, but they did NOT want to look at the camera. (or smile) Oh well. Daddy pulled them around in little wagons and we were so thankful for those!

Pumpkin Patch!!

We went to the Enchanted Gardens pumpkin patch today! We had so much fun. There was a petting zoo and lots of games, food and even a hay maze! They girls loved it all...especially the sweets!

Fun in the park

We met my family at a park in La Grange....about 1 1/2 hrs from here. Some of my family live in Austin so they came down and met us there! We had a great time. The girls loved the freedom! The played in the sand, did some swinging and just explored. We had a picnic too! It was great to see everyone! We are already talking about doing it again next month!

Bubbles!

Fun times with bubbles!

Sister love

I put in a home video (of them, of course!) for the girls to watch one morning (still wearing part of their pj's) and this is how they decided to watch it!

A little preview....

Here are my little bumble bees!!

Neighborhood fun

We live on such a great street! Lots of kids, great families and so much fun! Here are some pics of all the kids on our street just having a great time!

Kennedy's finger painting experience (Her approach: Get as much paint on herself as possible)

Kennedy LOVED finger painting! She loved feeling the paint in her hands...on her arms.....on her tummy.....and in her mouth!! (well, I don't know how much she enjoyed that part)

Kaitlyn's finger painting experience (Her approach: Get as little paint on herself as possible)

She had such a great time! She asked me to wipe off any paint that got on her hands or fingers! At the VERY end, she decided she would put her hand in the paint.

Just hanging out

Daddy and his girls!

A full house

We were one of the lucky ones to have power so we housed a lot of people these past few days. My mom and dad, brother, sister in law, nephew and even our good friends Matt and Leigh and their little one hung out at our house. We had a great time with everyone! Now, everyone has power except for my parents. Hopefully they will soon.

Hurricane Ike update

Well, it's the morning and we made it! Apparently everyone has no electricity, but can you believe that we do???? Tony said that we have underground power lines so we are running on full power! Yipeee!! Last night was crazy! It sounded like the house was coming down and Tony and I got very little sleep. The girls on the other hand (who were in our closet in pack n plays) did great!!! Hardly a peep from them. We are thankful that we are all safe and that only our fence is down! Praise God!

Baby girl!!

Our good friends Jeff and Kyri just had their first baby this past Thurs....little Charlie Shay Hardin!!!
We are so happy for them and can't wait to go visit! Congrats!

Playdate with Kenzie

We had a great time with our friend Melissa's little girl, Kenzie, last Sat. She even brought them a late birthday present.....doll strollers! You would have thought the girls had died and gone to Heaven...they LOVED them! Kaitlyn loved hers so much she wouldn't let go of it. She would build blocks or do whatever with one hand, and hold on to the stroller with the other one! We had a great time playing, swimming (not for too long though....they wanted to get back to the strollers!) and eating pizza!!
