Halloween 2009




















































































































Halloween was BUSY this year! Carving pumpkins was fun. We carved ours and let the kids color theirs. All was well until Kylee decided to color with a Sharpie in her eye. The picture of her with the red, bloddshot eye was taken after Chad and had to flush out her eye...fun times. Trick-or-treating was eventful as always. We walked with our neighbors, a yearly tradition. Kylee stayed in the wagon most of the time. She was more interested in the grass, sidewalk, etc than going up to doors and getting candy. Cooper more than made up for her slacking. He was the leader of the pack, first one to the door at every house. We participated in trunk or treat at my school. Kylee ate her weight in dum dums while I passed out candy out of the back of the Tahoe. It was the only way she would sit quietly. Cooper made it to every car to get his candy. He helped pass out candy too! Both kids had a Haloween party at school. The cute little girl with Cooper is Scout...his girlfriend. He LOVES her! Everything is all about Scout. We hear about her everyday. She is pretty cute. Atleast he has good taste. The little boy with Kylee is Drew. They are best buds at school. He yells her name every morning when we walk in. Kylee laughs and that is how we start every morning. He is a sweet little boy! My little racecar driver and witch/angel had a blast!

State Fair







Corn dogs, Desperado tacos, fried everything, roasted corn and more...we ate our way through the fair:) Coop enjoyed the rides, Kylee liked the animals, Mom and Dad liked the auto show. Never a dull moment at the fair!

Silly Cooper Sweet Kylee




Kylee's First Birthday






















The princess turned one on July 22. We had a royal splash party for her. She loved every bit of it...opening gifts, eating cake, swimming in the kiddie pool, and playing with her royal subjects:)






Summer Vacation to South Padre Island














































Chad and I took the kids and my parents to South Padre Island this summer for vacation. It was the kids first time to see the beach and ocean. Coop nearly gave us a heart attack about every 10 minutes. He had no fear of the ocean, therefore he would run in as far as he could go and nearly drown himself! He never learned his lesson, he just kept on doing it. Kylee ate about 5 pounds of sand before she figured out she didn't like it. They had a blast...not much rest for us though. Cooper finally learned to swim in the pool at our condo. It was so cool...my boy is growing up!

Here are the kids waiting on the fireworks to start in Addisson. Their faces are sun-kissed from swimming at Bop and LaLa's house all day!

Texarkana











A few weekends ago, we went to Texarkana to visit Papa Holmes and Aunt Karen and Uncle Joe. Kylee was just starting to walk that weekend. She pushed Coop around in that wagon and thought she was on top of the world! My baby is growing up :(

Dinner with the family














We met Chad's brother Kevin and his girlfriend Ariel for his birthday dinner. His other brother Michael,his wife Kimberly and cousins Presley and Carter came too. We had a blast. Lots of messy faces and food on the floor.

A Day at the Lake





Our great Friends, the Kurtz family, invite us to the lake each summer. This time was a blast as always. Cooper swam like a fish. Kylee loved being in the water and playing with Kara.
