A day at the Stock Show

So, the Stock Show is HUGE in Fort Worth - basically everyone goes at some point over the two weeks or so that it is going on. We went today with "Grandma Judy" and "Grandpa Russell" Rosehill. The kids had a great time.
This baby goat Alyssa's petting was only 1 day old!

The kids actually enjoyed this part the most - running around the empty seats in one of the Rodeo's several arenas.

Break time - time for sharing a cinnamon roll. Thanks, Grandpa Russell!

So many owners saw the kids looking at the animals and said, "You want to come pet them?"! It was so sweet. The kids really enjoyed it.

Our little animal lover with the feather collection that her mean mommy made her leave behind at the petting zoo. Mothers always ruin the fun, don't they?!

Fairies and Unicorns!!

Okay, so Amanda got a bunch of clothes from the new Gymboree line. She just about flipped when she saw it, 'cause what in the world is more beauteous than unicorns and fairies?! Here she is modeling the unicorn shirt. : )

Guess who finally broke down...

Yes, we have a blog. I cannot guarantee how often this will get updated, but here it is. Mom and Dad have been wanting pictures of the kiddos, so I guess we can oblige.

A picture of Drew with the treats for the reindeer on Christmas Eve:

All of the kids excited for Santa Claus to come. Drew's the only one who still thinks there's even the remote possibility of a big fat guy in a sled delivering presents to every child. The girls don't help, either, since they are continuously saying, "Mom, you KNOW there's no such thing as Santa Claus - oops, I didn't know Drew was listening!"

One of the several snow days we've already had this year. The pond has frozen over quite a few nights! The kids are really enjoying playing around in the snow.

Snow's almost gone!


Isn't this cute?! Mom sewed all these matching outfits for the cousins. Alyssa, Amanda and Drew really enjoyed having Emma and Trenton come visit them.
