Jace walking!

He's up to about 10 steps now. YEAH JACE!

Dallas Arboretum

Pumpkin House-- so neat!

This place is gorgeous! It's about 30 minutes from our house and each year they have "Autumn at the Arboretum." Today was "Tiny Tot" day with activities centered around children. There was a pumpkin house, hay maze, petting zoo, and much more. Kendall and Jace loved the pumpkins, the most any of us have ever seen, and the hay maze.

Pumpkin Hunt

My mom's group had a pumpkin hunt at the park. My friend took this picture of Kendall. She cracks me up with her sunglasses, which she loves to wear.

Pumpkin Farm

Jace and Kendall are the same age in each of these pictures. It was their 1st visits to a pumpkin farm --- Kendall (below) in Lexington, SC and Jace in Celina, TX.

They also were learning to walk at the same age. I absolutely love these pictures of each of them getting a hand from Daddy!

Kendall October 2007

This picture says it all

Here's the "item" that came home from preschool today. I mean, come on Kendall, could you have at least smiled a little bit for this one??!!

Plumber Jace

Jace is now doing small chores around the house and so far he's doing an excellent job! And did I mention how much he loves it! This morning, he used the squeegee to wipe down the shower. Here's the pic...look at how much fun he's having! Then, his next chore was plunging the toilet. He enjoyed this chore so much, that he cried when I took the plunger away from him.

(Oh and the plunger is brand new in case you were wondering! Pretty gross I know!)

Just earning his keep!

Another Kendall story

(Just too cute not to post)

Scenario: Jace is in the high chair. I'm feeding him. Kendall's in her tutu (only) dancing around.

Kendall: Mommy, dance with me.
(So, I finish feeding Jace and Kendall and I dance.)

Kendall: Mommy, you need a princess dress.

Me: Well, I wish I had a pretty one like yours. (still dancing)

Kendall: Mommy, I want Daddy to take me to a castle.

Me: Daddy would love to take you to a castle.

Kendall: But Daddy would need to put on his princess dress.


Maybe you just had to be here but it was precious!

Where's Kendall?

When I took Jace upstairs for his nap, I peeked in on Kendall who was supposedly napping, but she wasn't in her bed or her room. I had a quick feeling of Oh my gosh....where is she!!?? until I noticed the guest bedroom door was closed. I walked in to see Kendall sitting on the floor just relaxing, and humming along to the song on the clock radio. She had turned it on and placed it on the floor next to her. It was quite funny but short lived b/c I walked her back to her bed. When she got in her bed, she asked, "Mommy, can I please listen to my radio?"

I just went up to check on her and she is out and yes, the radio is on.

Jace takes a shower

This is one of those things you would have just had to see to laugh like Jimmy and I did. I was letting the water warm up w/ the shower door open and JaceMan just made his way right into the shower clothes and all. He was just laughing and playing away and when Jimmy went to take him out, he started crying. It was absolutely hilarious!

Texas State Fair

The fam posing by Big Tex....glad the kids were looking! ;)

Lots to look at!

And, of course, the carousel was Kendall's favorite!
