Race in Texas

Last month was the Nascar Race that RDC and Pop have gone to now for the last 5 years. The kids and I hang out with Grandaddy (and get spoiled) while we are there. :) This year Granny did not make the trip so Pop hung out with us the whole time~~even partaking in the night at Gre@t Wolfe!!! Not sure who had more fun~~the kids or Daddy and the grandfathers.

If you look closely~~that is Pop on the left "seado" having a water fight with MWC. :)

This is always such a fun weekend that we ALL look forward to each year!!!

Meet PETE!!!

The newest member of our family!! He is our 10 week old boxer puppy that we picked up today. :) A few weeks ago, MWC asked if we could, "PLEASE get a dog today!?!?!" RDC and I looked at each other and said, "why not?" (Yes I am sure that we could have come up with a THOUSAND reasons to say no--but we are dog people and have missed having one in our family. :) The search began for a boxer since RDC has always wanted a boxer. So today a little girl's dream (and a little boy at heart's dream) was fulfilled and we have a boxer puppy. :) The kids are already arguing over who he is going to sleep with and get to walk him on his leash. :) He already seems pretty attached--wanting to always be right with us. ~~under somebody's feet or in someone's lap. :)

He was laying on the kitchen floor and MWC walked into the den and got his blanket (that they sent home with us) and covered him up with it! :)

Some fall fun!!

We have been CRAZY busy around here doing LOTS of fun fall things!!!

We started the month with me being in Vancouver on a mission trip with some people from our church!! All I can say is AWESOME!! Words can't describe knowing that you are EXACTLY where God wants you to be~~and that is what that week was all about for me. We went there to support and serve a team ~~who mostly are from

Misissippi~~ who is planting a church in downtown Vancouver. LOVED every minute of it!!!

Then by the time I got home the state fair was here!!!! :) So we took our annual trip with our precious friends the H's. We love going with them because they are so much fun and they have a little girl who is MWC's age and a little boy who is 6 months younger than JDC. So it works out GREAT!!!

We were also able to go the Pumpkin Patch with some other precious friends the Bs! We rode the hayride, ran in the hay maze and were able to find treasures in the "corn box". :)

I LOVE fall and all the fun things we get to go and do!! It WEARS us out, but I would not change making the memories with special friends for ANYTHING!!!!

Lunch with our 'big girl' :)

A few weeks ago, JDC and I went and had lunch with MWC. ~~well we sat there while she ate since her lunchtime is 10:45. :) She and JDC loved it!! She loved us surprising her in the middle of the day and he loved seeing her in the middle of the day. :) I am sure we will be having several lunches with her.

ALMOST Wordless Wednesday..

This is what he did when I asked him to go and put his underwear on one morning......

....guess next time I need to be more specific! :)

Wordless Wednesday

Some of our favorites....

..from our time we spent at the pool while on vacation!!! As much as I LOVED seeing the faces of MWC and JDC~~~I LOVED RDC's faces just as much!! The kids LOVE to swim so they had just as much fun in the pool as the beach. Toward the end, JDC would swim very small distances without his floats!!! We had SO much fun being there!!!

As much as we love vacationing with family~~we absolutely LOVE and cherish every second when we go out of town --just the four of us!! Can't wait until our next little get a way!!!

Happy Anniversary to Pop and Granny!!!

We want to wish one of our FAVORITE couples a Happy 42nd Wedding Anniversary!!

We love y'all and hope you have a WONDERFUL day celebrating!!!!

A special birthday message

Unfortunately, JDC decided he DID want to sing, but there is something wrong with his video loading. :(

But Grandaddy, we do hope that you have a WONDERFUL birthday!!!

LOVE YOU!!!

Beachn' it 2010

The last week of August, we were able to go to the beach for a few days. Unfortunately, it was cloudy most days and we did get rained on. :( But the kids did not care that it was cloudy and it kept us from getting burned. We did have a GREAT time playing on the beach and the waves, catching crabs (RDC caught 2), and playing in the pool~~and my favorite--EATING OUT!!!! :) We also loved having Daddy around ALL day during the day!!

Here are just a FEW

of our favorites!!!!

Fun dinner plans!!!

Since Aunt JCH and Uncle GH live near Grandaddy in Texas we are fortunate to also see them when we go to Texas. When we were there last time, they drove over and had dinner with us at T@mmy's---a YUMMY hamburger place that we ALWAYS go to!!! It was a fun dinner and MWC and JDC love to play with Uncle G at the table!!! :) --(and getting away with it!) :)

Stockyard, Great Wolfe, Six Flags....

..and anything else Grandaddy could fit in while we visited him last month. :) Last month, the kids, EJW and I loaded up and headed to Texas. (RDC flew out on Friday.) While we were there, Grandaddy had a PACKED few days!! But we had a GREAT time!! When we got there we just relaxed a little, walked around the stockyards and ate a FABULOUS dinner. Then the next few days were filled with watching the cattle drive in the Stockyards, playing on the slides atGreatWolfe, and then spent the day at Six Flags. I am not sure who had more fun and was more excited---the kids or Grandaddy!!!

Fun at the Stockyards!!!

JDC LOVED going to Gre@tWolfe and playing in th e wave pool!!! MWC was tall enough to go down the BIG slides and enjoyed EVERY minute of it!! I even talked Grandaddy into going down at least one big slide so he could see how excited and how much fun she had on the big slides!! (I am pretty sure the one trip up those stairs was worth hearing her laugh and seeing her smile!!)

Riding the rides at Six Fl@gs.......


































.....and meeting a super hero!!!!! :)

We have a LOT more pictures that I would love to share....so be looking forward to them as Wordless Wednesdays!!!!
