Family Photos and Some More Catching Up...

We took family photos way back early December and I finally got around to making prints for the house. These are phone picts of the actual photos. They are some of the finest prints I have ever seen. Robin and Dale Weerts do great work. The colors and quality are just super.

Super silly Sam's shoppers

Daddy got me all dressed pretty for school! (I thought so hilarious when I returned home that afternoon to notice the bow that should be tied in the back was in front, but hey....at least it was tied in a bow and not some boyscout fishing knot)

Super cheese pleased with her new outfit Daddy picked out.

She is a true woman. Already multitasking. I guess Madison and I will both look like that shortly when we have to figure out how to tote 3 kids at the grocery store.

Don't be alarmed, we are still here folks!

So this is almost akward to make a post after being absent from blogging this long. I first was having some great frustrations after we updated our browser and I couldn't edit the blog as easily. I am still having issues, but I am learning to work around them. First of all the main reason I have not been blogging is this......

I am harboring a new little parasite.....by choice, but since mid January until now I have been able to muster enough strength to attend work and that is about it. The nausea is finally starting to subside. We are super excited to add another wonderfulness to our family. Kegan asks every day if she can see the baby. Oh, and for all you who hated our suprises with the first two.....we will be finding out the sex of this one by ultrasound. So in about 6 weeks we will hopefully have that announcement.

I am also an amature sonographer and this is a little video I took of our lil punkin. I try to check on it every chance I get. It pays to work around cool equipment and machines sometimes.

A beautiful day on the porch and a snack fit for princesses

.....and just 2 days later we had to dig my car out of the snow. Strange Texas weather......if you ever don't like it just wait around a bit and it'll change.

And with all the crazy changing weather, poor Truly has been sick a lot. We have done several rounds of anitbiotics, but nothing seems to last.

Kegan did try her best to help Truly feel better, "Now Truly you don't feel good and need to see the princess dentist. Lay right here"

Kids always say the darndest things. Kegan dressed her and Truly's arms out then proudly exclaimed to Madison "look Daddy, we look like Pan". Aaron did apologize for any future decisions they may make regarding getting tattoos.

Apparently a DVD box also makes a great sleve tattoo.

Truly sometimes just can't wait until her after lunch nap. This day she didn't even make it to lunch.

We have another new little addition to the family. "Prof" a sweet little corgi puppy given to the girls by their Nana and Pop Flowers. The girls adore him and he loves them.

My 2 little party animals all ready to hit the jumphouses???

Kegan's other new trick is dressing herself like cousin Kelly. This day she picked a slip and rubber boots. Very proud! Another darling outfit she was very eager to pose for.

Kegan will you dry my hair?

Sure Toots, no problem.

Daddy is a silly guy!

These girls love to play and will make a game out of anything.

Thanksgiving week

We had a great Thanksgiving here. We were just too whooped to travel again after Disnyeworld and I was fighting off a nasty relapse of my ear/sinus infection. Making it to work that week was about all I could muster. I could not even begin to think about unpacking or repacking so soon. It all turned out great. We had a great Thanksgiving day at my Nanny's in Grapevine. Paran Aaron was there so the girls are always excited to see him. That night my parents gave us the best suprise by bringing my grandparents from Raceland to visit us. They had not yet been to our house. I wasn't quite sure if they were up for the trip, but they made it just fine and we had such a good time.

Madison says our family has way too many birthday's clumped together......I don't know what he means.....well maybe I do. I left my name off the community cake becuase I ran out of room.

Mawma and the girls waiting to get some yummy cake

The day after Thanksgiving we had another wonderful visit. About a month before, I received a letter in the mail from the original owners of our house. Tanya, the mother, asked if while they were visiting family in town, could come and see the house. It was actually a request of her oldest son. It was so neat to meet them and learn how much thought and love they put into building this house. They actually did a lot of work themselves. We found out so many neat treasures about our house.....and some helpful stuff too. Here are some pictures of them while they were here.

The mystery of who all those hands belong to is finally solved

Now that we have met the Moore's they will forever be a part of this home for us. They are such a neat and special family. I think our view of this place is so similar. They dreamed this house up with the idea of raising a family and growing old here just like we do. It is the perfect home!

Disneyworld day 8

Our last day we decided to stay at the hotel. We had to make the bus for noon, and I still had some dreaded packing to do. Kegan had been wanting to go the the pool at the hotel, but we were too busy running around at the parks, so she finally made it to the pool. Funny thing, she didn't make it to the cool big one with the spraying flower. She insisted on jumping in to the first one right downstairs from our room and Madison couldn't convince her otherwise. She is a stubborn little toot! She definitely doesn't get that from me.....ha, ha.

Daddy, it's freezy!

It's a cold walk from the pool, but it sure was fun!

Sadly waiting for the bus:(

Bye Mickey.....We are gonna miss you!

But, on a brighter note, here are a few of Nana's honorable mention pictures from Disney. She sent us a cd with hers. She got some great ones.

Disneyworld day 7

On our 7th day at Disney, we decided to hang out at Magic Kingdom as much as possible.....it was after all our last day in the parks.


First we headed to Toontown because we actually had not done that yet. Kegan found the water and there was no doing anything else for a while. Truly had a blast watching her sister run around like a crazy person as usual.

Ahhhhhhh, ahhhhhh!

That sister is soooooo crazy, Ooooooh look at the water!

That water hit me in the face. Mommeeeeeeeeeee!

As you can see, Kegan had to be escorted out

She was a complete wet rat. We had to strip her of her dress and wring it out by hand and let her run around in her tshirt and bloomers for a while. Jennifer would have died if she knew I did that.....good thing they were at MGM that morning.

After the wet rat dried a little we heard the princesses were hanging out just across the street, so we went take a peek!

This is soooooo exciting!

Hi Cinderella, I'm Kegan!

Belle, I got a bobo yesterday. See my bandaid. It's princess Jasmine.

I love you Princess Aurora!

Silly princesses!

We hung out for lunch and caught an afternoon parade while Kegan crashed after all her princess excitement. Then we headed back to MGM, aka Holywood Studios, to see the Osbourne lights again. The Pepper bunch was there still.

After we shut the park down, we picked up a Mickey snack on our way out. It was yummy. Huge enough for us all to share.....except Ava. "That's yucky, I want my own" as Ava put it. Perhaps her good hygenic manners are why she is sick half as much as my crew that I let eat stuff by the 3 second rule and a quick blow off.


Then, it was time for all the pretty princesses to take a bath and have sweet dreams on there last night at Disney.....awwwww!

P.S. it took me so long to post this blog because we updated to Internet Explorer 8 and it wouldn't allow me to click and drag pictures beyond the viewed page. With Explorer 7 it would just scroll when you got to the top or bottom of the page. I finally figured out how to get back to the old version. Any other bloggers out there having similar problems??? surely there has to be some sort of patch for that.
