Dirt Dirt Dirt

This is what Anne and Abby did last Friday at work.

They made a dirt chair.

Mondays with Nathan

It had been two weeks since our last date with "baby" Nathan. This time we went to The Discovery Science Place, the park, and Chick fil A.

Abby shopping with head protection. You never know when a fire could break out at the grocery store.

Fire People

I forgot to get the camera out at the park and I didn't even consider getting it out at dinner. We had a ball with Nathan and he always does an excellent job of preparing the girls for a good night sleep.

. . . King of the Wild Frontier

My mom and dad went down to San Antonio to see the reenactment of the battle of the Alamo. It was the 175th anniversary. They brought Abby and Anne coon skin caps just like Davy Crockett. Apparently he was all over the place down there. They even saw Elvis.We are proud of our Texas heritage. I'm a sixth generation Texan and the girls are seventh. Scott makes fun of me because I am always trying to fit that into conversation, but there is rarely a natural opportunity to share about our Texas heritage so I usually just blurt it out. Remember the Alamo. Oh, by the way, March 2 is Texas Independence Day not Dr. Suess' birthday.

Landon's B-day

Two weeks ago we drove up to Frisco to celebrate cousin Landon's 1st birthday.

The Birthday Boy!

Thanks Uncle Mark and Aunt Ashley! We had a blast and can't wait to see you again!

Co-Sleeping

Abby believes in co-sleeping/the family bed.

Valentine's Day

My mom and I took the girls to the zoo. We brought along Nathan to be their Valentine. He's the son of a sweet friend of ours who just had a baby. He and Abby are in the same Sunday School class at church.

Testing Out the Water Fountain

The Queen of Sheba

The kids had a ball running through the zoo, riding in the wagon, and seeing all the animals.

After the zoo we made a quick stop at Hobby Lobby
and then on to Smash Burger
for a romantic dinner on the patio.

After we dropped Nathan off we made one more stop to do a
little shopping.

Eli and Abby

Abby loves Eli.
Here they are sharing a meal at Discovery Science Place.

She shows her love by yelling his name every time we pass his street, throwing Nerf balls at his face, and stealing his food at Chick-Fil-A.
