Been Tagged

I have been tagged, and it is a good thing. I have not posted anything for awhile. Not that I do not have anything to post. My time has gotten away from me. Well, I am to find the 4th picture in my 4th folder. This is Brynlee's 2nd Christmas (2006). What I think is funny about this pic is, Josh in the back ground filming and messing with the big wad of dip in his mouth. It is sad that our children know what Daddy's spit cups look like. Maybe someday he will be successful in quiting this bad habit.

Follow the yellow brick road . . . .

Whew. . . I always tell myself not to get all stressed out about things that should be fun, but I still do. Getting Dorothy and my Lollipop kid ready was a chore. First of all, finding a lollipop turned out to be more difficult than I thought. I looked all over, but could not find one. Therefore, I made one. I have to say I was quite proud of myself. Miss Brynlee thought her dress was "itchy" so we had to put a white summer dress underneath (we do not have a slip). She also did not like her pigtail bows touching her ears, so we had to make the ribbon shorter. Since William needed rosy cheeks, I put on some Smashbox blush. Brynlee thought Dorothy needed makeup too. She got to wear some Bare Escentuals mineral veil, blush, and lip gloss. Now, we were ready to follow the yellow brick road. Despite all the drama in getting ready, I think they both had a good time. Brynlee was asking if we could do Halloween again!! Here are a few pictures of my Wizard of Oz cuties!!

Zoo Trip, Horse Ride, & Making Cupcakes!

Since I have not composed a post since last week, I am putting our past week events all in one. Josh was off last week so we took the kids to the zoo. This was William's first zoo trip. Brynlee stayed the weekend with Ma & Pa Kelly in southwest Oklahoma. She had her first horse ride. I heard she was a natural. Today Brynlee begged me to make the Halloween cupcakes that I promised her we would make together. She loved every minute of it.

This week I need to get the last tid bits for their Halloween costumes. Miss Brynlee is Dorthy and William is a munchkin (Daddy was not too thrilled with the munchkin idea; he claims he will get beat up. I told him I can take any 1 year old that wants to make fun of my little boy!) I am sure we will have some pictures to post of the Wizard of Oz cuties next week.

Just like her mommy; enjoying the best part of cooking!

Pumpkin Patch

I love Fall! Cool days where I do not mind going outside to play with the kids! Our excitement this week was picking out some pumpkins, MaMaw and PaPaw visiting, and me getting my hair done. During our pumpkin outing, I had the bright idea to take some pictures. It did not go as planned, but I did get a few. I wanted to go to real pumpkin patch, but we settled for "Under the Sun" instead. Brynlee had fun putting every little pumpkin in the cart, and William had fun stomping in water puddles.

They spent most of their time inspecting the hay during the photo attempt.

A Time of Birthday Celebration and Sooner Mourning!

William's first Birthday party fell on the day of the OU - Texas game. We were all decked out in our crimson and cream, and the game was on during the birthday bash. We all enjoyed some cake and ice cream; then shed tears of defeat. Here our a few pics from Williams first OU Birthday party.

Boomer Sooner!

Opening presents and still having hopes of a Sooner victory!
