Aggies vs. Alabama

Two Saturdays ago (October 17) Grandpa and Uncle Ronnie watched the girls so that Bryan and I could join my parents at Kyle Field for the A&M vs. Alabama football game. 

We are SO appreciative of family willing to do things like this for us and the girls!!

Clara was so ready to play with Grandpa that she walked me to the door and told me to go bye bye. Well, okay then little chica.

I'm told they had a great time at Parker's 1st birthday party (thanks for taking them!) at the splash pad.

Meanwhile we had a great time at the game ---- sort of. The game itself was one of the loudest I've ever been too, and it's always fun to be at Kyle Field. It's a shame that our players didn't "show up" too. Our offense truly won the game FOR the other time. 

Almost all of the past Yell Leaders were there!!!

Our new stadium is wonderful

Probably the only empty seat in the entire stadium was right in front of me.

I adore my Mama 

I always get a kick out of the big Corp of Cadets Block T they do once a football season. They have the hardest time making it work, but it's still really cool. Too bad the shadow makes it look weird.

Thank you for taking us Mom & Dad, and thank you for making it possible Grandpa, Celina, Alexandra & Ronnie!!!

Happy (late) Birthday, Lulu!!!

We celebrated Lulu's birthday 10 days ago (blog fail). HAPPY BIRTHDAY LULU!!

Once we got the girls out of their fire fighter outfits, we went to go take pictures and then celebrate Lulu!

 

The girls were delighted to see their Lulu and Papa of course :)

 

Emma wanted to give big hugs and Clara showed Lulu the card the girls made for her, full of stickers, and Clara's hand drawn elephant :)

 

Clara nabbed Lulu's glasses

Love this :)

We love you Lulu!!!

Update #3: so many playdates!!!

We've either had people over, met them somewhere, picnics, parks, you name it, SOMETHING, at least every other day the last two weeks. Thought I'd show you a little of what we're doing :)

We've had some picnic playdates at the park with Zachariah and Jonah:

weeeeeeee 

running around and sliding with Riah

seesaw with Jonah

 Loves riding the dolphin:

Giving it a "thank you" kiss! LOL

all the playing wore Emmy out

We've had dinner and playdates with sweet Miss L and Mr. S:

Mmmmm tacos

Little buddies

Even littler buddies

We've had fun watching football and playing with Little Victoria and Mr. Zack:

While we were waiting Clara fluttered around like a butterfly :) 

Investigating Victoria

The three little ladies 

Same exact height & weight; a full 9 months difference in age, ha!

Clara & Zack playing together

The girls got some love from Grandpa, Celina, MeMaw and Paw:

Ronnie & Emma Lou

Clara loves to spend time with family!

We also had the lovely Cole family over for dinner, and the girls had a lot of fun playing with wee Timothy:

Firefighter Emma Lou

Decked out!

 The girls were so happy to have a little friend:

Once the Cole's left, Clara and Emma put on their pajamas and went to bed - but before they did, Clara insisted on taking a picture in her new pretty pajamas to show Auntie M :)

Then we ended our recent play dates with a trip to The Woodlands Children's Museum with my cousin Emily and her little boy, Brody.

First, church.

Clara checking Emma's diaper, and Em just letting her! 

Emma loves to wear hats :)

 

Then we were off to the museum to see some family and play!

Emma had so much fun dressing up like a firefighter at the museum that she refused to take it off for almost a half hour! haha

 

 

There's Brody shopping with Clara & Emma

This is one of the funniest things I've ever seen!! Emma wanted to replant all of the corn, but included bananas as well :) 

I should've started filming when she first did it, but I did get a short video:

Cooking some fish, ha

Emma so desperately wanted the sink to work. When it didn't, she started climbing underneath and tried to figure out how she could make it start working.  

No luck. Doh!

Favorite part of the museum

Driving each other around

 Playing in the water:

And that's about all as far as recent playdates go! BUT I'm sure there's more to come! :)
