Time flies!

It's been a while since I've posted anything. We've been very busy! Riley turned 6 months old on January 12th. She weighs 16lbs 3oz and is already trying to crawl! She is a sweetheart and her personality shines through her big smile!

Meanwhile big brother Owen keeps us on our toes! He is definitely in the stage of we have no idea what's going to come out of his mouth next! Here's an example: B and I took the kids to the zoo. We were watching some monkeys swing from their tails.

Me: Owen, do you have a tail like a monkey?

Owen: No Mommy. I have a weenie.

Yes, B and I were speechless and then cracked up!

My club volleyball team, Fort bend Fire 18 Molten, has been to 3 tournaments this month! That only left 1 free weekend.... phew! The girls and parents are awesome! I'm loving coaching them. They are a great group of girls!

Nathan went to China, but to read more about his trip check out the Daddy's Trips by Owen page for all the fun from Owen's perspective. :)

Santa Claus is coming to town!

We went to see Santa today. Owen did great! He walked right up and asked for a train. So cute! Laughingly he told Santa "Look at your silly hat." Haha!! He didn't really want to sit with him but he was a trooper. Riley was perfect. Next year will probably be her screaming red face year.

A Wonderful Thanksgiving

What a wonderful Thanksgiving! We spent 5 days in Austin with a day trip to San Antonio. Here are some pictures.

Owen "riding" Chacha's motorcycle/scooter.

My sweet daughter looking at her daddy. Love it!

Chacha set up a paint area for Owen. I'm VERY thankful I stripped him down to only his pull-up before the painting commenced. :)

Owen's buddy Cadie came over. Aunt Amanda and her friend let the 2-year olds help make sugar cookies. They had a blast!

Here is a new adorable picture of Owen and Riley! I can't get enough of them!

It was Nathan and my 5 year college reunion this past weekend. We dropped Owen off with ChaCha and Jido and headed to Georgetown with Riley-girl. It was so fun being back on campus! I no longer think visiting your alma mater is over-rated. This is probably mostly because I met Nathan on that campus on the very first day of school of our freshman year at Southwestern....wait for it......... NINE years ago. Whoa! Ok, that's out of the way....

We checked out the KA House, the ZTA chapter room, the new buildings, everything. Oh and raided the bookstore. What can I say? If WalMart carried SU stuff I wouldn't have raided the SU bookstore, but since they don't and let's see, NO where else does... raided is the appropriate term.

Here are some great picture with our college friends. Hopefully at our 10 year reunion more people will be able to make it. BTW, Riley was a huge hit! Of course! And Owen was spoiled rotten with ChaCha like he should be when staying with grandparents. :)

Happy Halloween!

We had a wonderful Halloween! The only thing thatwould have made it better was if Daddy could have been here. He got to experience Halloween New Orleans style! Sounded like the real crazies were out on Bourbon Street... yikes!

As for Owen, Riley and me, we went trick-or-treating with B, Lee, Ashley and Kara. It was great! Owen was Lighting McQueen's crew chief and Riley was my sweet little black cat. My niece Kara was the cutest ducky I've ever seen!

Riley-girl is 3 months old!

Riley is 3 months old today! She is so happy and beautiful.... and starting to sleep through the night! Woohoo! When she smiles, all of our hearts melt. I know she is going to be just as sweet and smart as her big brother. He sets a wonderful example for her. Thank you God for all the blessing in my life!

Pretty in pink! All gums!

Daddy is so funny! Being this cute wears a girl out!

Nathan's 28th Brithday

We celebrated Nathan's 28th birthday at the Salt Lick. He was surrounded by family and friends. I think he had a great time. Happy birthday my love!

Here are some pictures.
