Fall 2011

 October has proven to be quite a busy month for us.  Here is the cliff's notes version of our Fall so far:

   Dress up day at school. 

 Teacher gifts : Thanks for Taking Care of My Little Pumpkin

Some of his classmates

 Pumpkin Patch Day at Preschool

We celebrated several birthdays.   This is Cousin Luke's camo party.

 We went to Boo at the Zoo w/ friends

 Pumpkin Girl!

 

Lightning McQueen (wearing last years costume a) because he was sick last year and rarely got to wear it, b) it still fit, c) it didn't mess up this year's costume, d) this year's costume was TOO BIG to cart around the zoo when he was tired of wearing it!)

 This year's costume: Monster Truck Rhett

 Our neighborhood has an annual Halloween Parade, The Monster Mile, that we hosted a small get together for.

We served Jack o' Lantern Pizza

and Frankenstein Pizza (thank you, Pinterest!)

 Revin' up!

We have had a busy, yet fun Fall.  Hope you all have too!

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!
