Fair 2010

This ride was neat they sat on this fire truck and it went waaayyy up in the air in circles. They rode this one like 3 or 4 times. Fun stuff.

Bubba kept cuddling with the pole it was soooo cute he liked this one a lot.

How cute are they riding the airplane. Ashlyn was they controller although I think I saw daddy reaching to the front a few times :o)

This was funny everytime she would come down the slope there she would make the funniest face. It made her a little nervous you could tell. She had a great time though.

My big girl got to ride this one all by herself she had a blast. Of course the sun was behind me so she wouldn't smile for a picture but you know at least we got her to do it by herself. She rode this one 3 or 4 times it was great.





Sorry this one is a little blurry but I am not good at catching action shots. This one is neat because you are able to control yourself as far as going up and down. I think they rode this one a total of 4 or 5 times.

When they got on this one I told Jr don't spin it very fast so you know he has to do the opposite of what I say lol he was spinning it like crazy poor Trace couldn't even hold his head up right. Ashlyn finally made him slow down a little bit but they loved going fast. They all three came off it smiling from ear to ear.

This lady Jean is very talented she had boards of pictures you could pick from. This is the one Ashlyn wanted which turned out to be very pretty. At first she didn't want to wash her face but she decided her cheek was itching and she didn't want to get it on her pillow :o)

Beach 2010

Well this was Trace's 2nd year at the beach and he LOVED IT this year. Ashlyn was so good with him she would walk him to the water and pull him around in his floaty. So cute. She also sat and played in the sand with him when he wanted out of the water (which wasn't very often).

As you can see he wore himself out. He fell asleep and we layed him in the tent it was funny because right before we were going to leave the stake came out of the sand and the tent started blowing over and he just stayed asleep and rolled with the tent. It was cute.

They are getting better about posing for pictures together. Ashlyn really wanted to take a picture in the sharks mouth so that was what we did on the last day. It was so much fun we didn't want to come back lol.

Christmas 09'

Ok, so we went to San Antonio Saturday 12-12-09 to get some Santa pictures and do a little shopping. Well we got to Bass Pro at three and the pass we got was for 7:00 so we had a lot of time to go shopping and stuff. When it was finally our time to get in line and go see Santa (keep in mind no naps that day) we got up to him and my little girl had an absolute meltdown. We got a picture of just Trace and Santa that day so we had to go back Sunday. That day luckily we didnt have to wait as long but we got some shopping done while we were waiting and when we got there she started whining again saying that someone else should go first she didnt want to go yet she was hungry she was thirsty blah blah blah...I think you get what she was trying to do. She did it though finally and she did such a good job sat on his lap took a few pictures and told him what she wanted and then she was done walked off told him bye I was very proud of her. We will be going to Austin this coming weekend so I will make sure to take plenty of pictures to share with everyone.

Trace at 6 months

Trace 6 month checkup:

His appt was on November 30th

weight: 19.8lbs

height: 27 1\4"

He may have to have his tounge clipped we are not sure yet we have to watch his speach when he gets older if he has a hard time saying dadadadada's and tatatatata's then we will need to get it fixed. We are hoping that it fixes itself though. He is still not sitting up on his own very long but he like Oliver is rolling EVERYWHERE. He loves to stand up also especially when you try to stick him in his carseat. He is a very happy healthy baby we are very blessed if all thats wrong is a little thing with his tounge them I am happy :) Hope everyone has a WONDERFUL hopefully white Christmas.

Ashlyn's first deer (Doe)

She was so happy......and so was daddy. She really did pull the trigger on this one and daddy said after she shot it she hopped out of the blind and and started dancing in circles. She stood there and watched him gut the whole thing. She is getting to be such a big girl growing so fast it is scary.......I know not everyone enjoys looking at dead deer but we are very proud of her.

Halloween

Ok, so it took me a while but here they are. The FAMOUS Halloween pictures. They had soo much fun!!!!! Ashlyn loved having her face all painted up and momma had fun doing it to :) !!! They got lots of candy and yes I did say they Trace had his own little bucket but really that was mommy and daddys dont tell anyone though lol. My little mice played all night and come bed time they were OUT like a light!!! Hope yall enjoy these pictures.

The Beach (Rockport)

Ok, so maybe he didn't like the beach as much as the rest of us did but I bet you anything next year he will LOVE it... We had a BLAST thank you Rory and Julie. Got to spend some much needed time with aunt Amber too it was great. Ashlyn had a blast. On the last day she built a GIANT sand castle it was awesome ok well you cant really tell how big it was and yes obviously she had a little help but if was still awesome. Can't wait till next year.
