Sleeping Angels

Before having children, I would hear parents talk about how they could sit and watch their children sleep. Oh how true this is. They are so peaceful. The only trouble I have is that I want to gently touch their sweet faces, to talk to them

as they sleep-share s0 much with them. This tends to disturb them. However this night I could not resist capturing their peace. Angels-- this is what they are- such a blessing and a gift from above!

Quite a Little Lady

Kadyn went to a birthday party on Saturday. The place they went did their hair and a slight touch of makeup and nails. The girls had a blast! I am not sure I am ready for all of this! I must say- she is gorgeous!

A close up of her hair! She sat quite still and left her hair up all weekend!

Pumpkin Patch 2006

Last Saturday we headed out to the pumpkin patch. We had a great time! The kids loved running around throuhgout the pumpkins. Dylan had to try and pick each one up! Kadyn had a great time doing many of the activities. I managed to get Dylan to sit still for this one picture!














Here he is! I caught the determination! He really believes he can pick this pumpkin up!















Kadyn loved all the pumpkins and wanted her picture taken with all of them! Don't you love her hair! She had been to a birthday party right before this!











I believe this will become a family tradition!

Ballet Performance October 2006

Kadyn had her second true perfomance for ballet. It was to have been an outdoor performace at at festival in a neighboring town. However, the rain put that to a halt. The studio did not want to time the students had put in to preparing to go to waste- so they had the performance in the studio. It was bit crowded- but entertaining! I will let the pictures speak for themselves!

I love this pictures-- it is the young girls watching older ones perform! She dreams of being a true "ballerina" one day!

State Fair of Texas 2006

What a fun day we had at the fair! After almost a two hour drive to get there ( it should have been 45 minutes), we had a blast! The kids loved the animals the most. Dylan wanted to crawl in the cage with them, Kadyn wanted to feed everyone of them and Jonathan wanted to investigate the shovel that fed the animals!

Have you ever seen a kangaroo with her baby in the pouch? I never had except in pictures! I can now say I have seen one in person! I am so glad I do not have to carry my children around this way after they are born!

Kadyn loved the rides. She rode as many as she could and would have ridden till the cows come home had the tickets grown on trees!

This was one of the best moments for me. On most rides, I watched Kadyn because an adult had to pay tickets to ride with their child. However, Kadyn wanted to ride this roller coaster and it was one she missed the height requirement to ride by herslef by about 1/4 of an inch. So off I go with her! As you can see by our expressins as we came down the hill we had a blast! I am glad I caught the pure joy as we are barreling down the hill!

Ok so this is not the best photo of any of us- but yet it is so us! Here is my mom and all her chickens! My sister and I with our kids- and even her one on the way! What irony- she is wearing a bundle of boy shirt in this picture---she found out 2 days later that they are having a girl! YEAH!!!

Here is Kadyn on the ride home- wiped out! She had a blast! Then there is Dylan who has been going strong the entire day..... and is still ready for more!

I am so thankful for my family who likes to go and do things! To be able to experience life and make such special memories with my kids -what a treasure!
