Happy Halloween!

Tonight we went to visit friends and enjoyed a little dinner with trick or treating afterwards. Once again, Laela was an adorable penguin. Laela, Maddie and Natalia all did great!
We only made it to about 6 houses, but everyone loved the girls! The dads helped the girls knock and say "trick or treat." Okay...truthfully...Natalia out did us all. She was a fantastic trick or treater. :) How cute is this snowbaby (aka...Maddie)?

My latest shirt design...

I saw this on-line and here is my version...What do you think? Once I know if it will hold up in the washer, I will be happy to take orders. HA! Hopefully Laela loves her new shirt!

Our Pretty Penguin...

Every year the family has a pre-halloween. This way, everyone can see the kids in their costumes then the kids are free to trick-or-treat on Halloween night. (I think this makes Granna and Gramps so happy!) :)Last year, can you remember Laela at Halloween? Well, if not...here she is!This year we saw this penguin costume on-line and both of us agreed! The costume is a little big, but she is a hysterical penguin. She even waddles a little. We even had a few super heroes at the gathering!


As you can see, there were more kiddos, but they had already taken off their costumes by the time we arrived. Well, another wonderful family gathering sponsored by Granna and Gramps. Oh! Laela, along with all of the grandkids, love to steal Gramps chair when he gets up. Here she is after a smooth snatch!

Happy Birthday times 2...

Today Laela is 16 months and Allie Mae is 4 years old (34 in dog years). WOW, how time flies! Here are a few recent shots of Laela in action.

She is already starting her artist skills now. YEA! No matter how old, Laela still loves peek-a-boo (or maybe she was covering her eyes because Ro was driving on central expressway!) We dearly love both of our "beasts", especially when they play together. Laela is learning more and more about Allie (and vice versa).


We don't say nearly enough about our first child, Allie Mae. She is very important to us. We both truly love having her in our house. I know Ro takes an extra special liking to her. He just told me the other day that every morning after he sends Laela and I on our way, Allie gives him a hug. YES...a hug. He gets on his knees and she comes up and puts her paws on his shoulders with her head to one side. It really is sweet.By the way...Laela is such a FANTASTIC helper around the house. Tonight she helped me with the laundry. She can take clothes out of the basket, put them in the washer, push the start button and then return the basket to the closet. Oh man...she is a great momma's helper. :)

How 'bout them Saints?

Ro is a big New Orleans Saints fan, so I decided that Laela and I could support him. Here we are sporting our Saints wear.BTW...if you are not big into football, like me, he would like to let you know the Saints are 4-0. The game is on right now and they are about to make it 5-0. GO SAINTS!

School Picture Day...

I forgot to get a few shots with a "clean" outfit this morning, but here is Laela afternoon school on picture day. The teachers said she did great and made several comments on how she should be a model. Hmmm... She just looks so grown-up already!
Laela scraped her nose this weekend too, so that will make for wonderful pictures. :)

Dallas Arboretum...

Today we ventured out to the Dallas Arboretum. A friend mentioned it the other day, so I checked out their website and saw the thousands of pumpkins. I knew right away Laela would love it. The pictures speak for themselves...
