State Fair of Texas 2010

We always love the fair! BUT, it was pretty hot, humid and a little too crowded this year. That put a damper on things...but we still enjoyed ourselves... Rylie really "thought" she wanted to go on the Ferris Wheel...Ryan told her we'll all try next year...we'll see!!

The Fun House!
Some goofy "art"!

My little sweeties (usually)!!

Our Family

Rylie's highlight...Big Tex! Before we ever even got their she said she was going to get a "Big Tex Doll" and we found one!!! Yea!

Hot Roddin'!!

Waiting for a show...man we were hot in that building!


Boris the Hog...over 1200 lbs. We laughed about our little Lucy getting that big!!


Funnel Cake Time!

Last ride...Carousel! Katie was too big to go, I guess...she didn't want to :(

Happy Fair Day!!

Little Miss Snaggle Tooth

Katie lost her first tooth this past Saturday evening. She was so excited and the tooth fairy came to visit! WOW...did I get lots of questions about that from Katie and Rylie!!
If anyone needs to know...she's a tiny little fairy like "TinkerBell" and she has pixie dust that she uses for magic to come in, remove the tooth and replace with money. She then drops the tooth off in Mommy and Daddy's room to be placed in the baby book before she goes on her way! Congratulations Snaggle!!!

Pumpkin Patch with Poppy and Gigi

We got to enjoy this past weekend with Paul and Lisa in Marble Falls! I got pictures of the Pumpkin Patch before my battery went out...



Happy Fall!! What a relaxing weekend...thanks Poppy and Gigi!

The Girls and Their Pig

Well, the pig is crazy and gets on my nerves a little and I'm sure really gets on my mom's nerves (the main feeder of the pig), but the girls still LOVE her!
She can hop and jump rather than walk when she chooses. She'll run in circles and jump up. She squeals quite abnoxiously when my mom enters the room if she is hungry because she has learned that she is her main feeder! She squeals abnoxiously when she goes upstairs and then wants to come back down, but is scared to do so alone! She's not quite as laid back as she once was, but here are a couple of sweet pics...

Our little, Lucy Rose.
Every morning on our way out to school, Rylie says "bye, my Lucy Rose Preston!"

Happy Birthday, Holly!

We celebrated Holly's birthday this week...what a fun time...and great weather!!!
Can anyone else fit???


Happy Birthday, Holly!

Happy Birthday Madison

Madison's 2nd Birthday Party...
So when did it happen...my girls were the oldest two kids at the party...how strange!!!


Madison showed everyone each new item...what a cutie!

Cake Time...everyone had fun with their black tongues and lips after this one!

Happy Birthday, sweet girl!

4-H Carnival

Tonight, we went to the 4-H Carnival Fundraiser that my sister, Holly, and my nieces were helping with... The girls had fun on the bounce slide and bounce house...

Sierra took a turn too!




They enjoyed the pony rides as well!! The ponies had glitter on their backs...the girls thought that was pretty cool!

Fun, Fun, Fun!

Lucy Rose and Katie's 6th Birthday...

This past Sunday, we became the proud new owners of a miniature pot belly pig, Lucy Rose... I went looking for a pig for a "kiss the pig" contest we were having at school and after we got Miss Lucy Rose, it looks like we'll have a lifelong friend!! We're all very attached!
Katie's birthday was this past Wednesday! It was during Spirit Week at school, so she got to have lots of fun...
She got to open presents first thing in the morning...

It was hat day...

She got to "Silly String the Principals"...

Mrs. Pate, Katie and Mrs. McAllister
Jump in the Bounce House...

and got out to dinner with her family (and get more presents from MamaJan)!!

The next day was picture day with the Panther (which was me inside there)...
What a cutie!!!
