Rodeo Up

My dad took us to the Rodeo today along with my sister and niece Loren. My other niece, Camryn, and my brother-in-law had to go home before we even made it to the Rodeo because Camryn got sick in the car. William had the time of his little life! He loved the petting zoo. At one point he was so excited, he was running in place. He would just run from animal to animal screaming with delight. He also had a blast on the pony ride and looked super cute up there like a big boy. We had great food and a lot of fun, thanks dad!

Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow...

The day finally came this week when I had to face the fact that William's hair was too long. The baby mullet was no longer acceptable, so with a heavy heart, I cut off William's golden curls. (sniff, sniff)




I have to admit, he looks a lot better with the new hair cut and looks a lot older.

Lake Tahoe

Jonathan went to Lake Tahoe last weekend for his friend Travis McGinty's bachelor party. They had a great time and best of all, Jonathan's legs did great. This was the first real test of Jonathan's recovery and what a testament to his incredible dedication and hard work over the past year! God has been so gracious and faithful to our family and here are some pictures to prove it....

Yee-Haw

Maryann and I took the kiddos to the Livestock show today with our MOPS (Mothers Of PreSchoolers) group. Our group went as a field trip, so we were lucky to get free tickets and free parking. Here are some picks of the cowgirls and cowboy.

Fun Weekend

This weekend we had so much fun catching up with old friends. William and I had lunch with two of my best high school friends, Kelley and Christie, on Saturday. Kelley was in town from North Carolina and Christie from Dallas.




Then we went to an engagement party on Saturday night for one of Jonathan's good friends, Wally, which brought some other college friends in town (Reid, Barron, Ben and Morgan). We then all went to breakfast this morning before the group headed back to Dallas. Here are some pictures of the guys and William playing outside the restaurant, which was by a construction site...

Here is William with his redheaded brother from another mother, Barron...

15 Months

William was 15 months old on Friday, so we went to the pediatrician for his check up. He is still 90th percentile for height and 75th for weight. He is definitely a toddler now. He is starting to pick up more and more words. My favorite is when he lifts his shirt and tickles his own belly while saying ticka, ticka, ticka. He is always on the go and would spend all day outside if I let him. He also loves going to the child care center at Lifetime Fitness, lucky for me! After I get him dressed in the morning, he runs to the backdoor, plops down (which means put on my shoes) and waits for me to take him to the gym. He is so much fun and has a great little personality.

Happy Valentine's Day!!!
