Rhett's (and Gentry's) First Ranger Game!

Our Texas Rangers are currently playing in the World Series!  Back at the end of September, we were lucky enough to get to attend a playoff game!  As you can see from the pics above, Rhett was more interested in the truck he brought with him, than the actual game.  Nevertheless, we had a nice time.  I submitted some of the above photos to a local news station, and we have been on the local news twice this week.  Too bad I have missed it both times!

Colorado Summer Vacation

Over the Labor Day Weekend, we traveled to Colorado to visit friends.   I cannot get all of our pictures to load, so this is only a small glimpse into our time there.  We had a great time, and especially enjoyed the cooler temperatures!

4 Months!

 On October 5th, our sweet baby girl turned 4 months old! 

At 4 months, Gentry weighs 14 lbs. even and is 25" tall.  She has the biggest, bluest eyes, and the sweetest, most heartwarming smile.  In our eyes, she is wonderful and perfect, and we are so blessed. 

She has developed quite an attachment to her mommy these days.  But, I know this is just a passing phase, and one day soon, I will want these moments back.  I know that someday all to soon, she will think I am lame.  So, I am going to relish these moments while I can.

 Miss Priss has also developed quite a fondness for her big brother.  She follows him with her eyes wherever he roams, and he brings a HUGE smile to her face.

She recently started belly laughing.  Her first belly laughs were for her mommy, but no one can do it to her quite like her daddy.  He is quite a funny guy who loves this little lady so much.  It warms my heart to hear him talk to her when he thinks nobody is paying attention.  He is the best Daddy.

We love this baby girl to the moon and back!

First day of preschool

 Rhett had his first official day of preschool yesterday!  His school began classes on Tuesday, but we were on a little family vacation, so yesterday was his first day.  I wanted to make the transition easy, and make him feel really special, so he wouldn't be sad, so I planned some special "treats" for his big day!


I have enjoyed reading blogs over the past year where the mommies do a theme for each school lunch, so I thought I'd try my hand at it:

 This lunch, obviously, was fish themed.  It consisted of a fish-shaped note (which I read to him before we left),

and a fish-shaped PB&J sandwich, goldfish crackers, Finding Nemo fruit snacks, carrots cut into fish, and some grapes inside a fish-shaped container.

I did a little decorating, and served one of his favorite breakfasts for his first big day!

Such a big boy now!

What a great day!

3 Months!

Our baby girl turned three whole months old on September 5th!  She is such a joy and blessing to our family.  We love her so!

Circus!

A few weeks ago, we took the kiddos the circus! I couldn't help myself, and had to make Gentry something to wear that matched a "circus" theme.

Cutest little clown at the Circus!

If I could have, I would have made something for Rhett to wear too. But, my dad threatened to not go if I did!

From the looks of this pic, the Circus was a success!
