ER fun

Well today Grant and I had a first, we had to take Nolyn to the ER for stitches in her chin. She fell at church and busted her chin open. I still don't really understand how it happen, I was standing right there when she fell, but she's taken much worse falls and didn't even get a scratch. Heres a couple of pictures from our adventure.

Zoo Day

Yesterday Grant and I took the girls to the Ft Worth Zoo. Nolyn's been to our little local zoo but they don't have things like elephants, lions, or tigers. We had such a good time. I wanted to share a few pictures from the day since I haven't posted in a while.

Visiting Santa

Ok, so I'm a little late here, but our computer at home is down. Nolyn has always done well with Santa, but since this was Cami's first time we didn't know what to expect. The girls had actually saw a Santa at the family Thanksgiving and also saw one at school and both went well. Actually the one at school Cami is smiling and that is one of the only pictures of her smiling. So we kinda thought this shouldn't be a problem. So Grant and I planned after Church one Sunday we would go to Willowbend and finish some Christmas shopping and get the Santa picture. So after waiting in line for TWO hours this is what we got.
A really good picture with both kids smiling. Nolyn talked to Santa telling him she wanted a tiger and Dora. And that she's been finding Ju-Ju the Elf (Elf on the shelf) every morning. And Santa told her that Ju-Ju has told him she has been a very good girl, and she needs to continue to be a good girl. Even though is was a long wait we had a fun day with the girls.

Family Pictures

A little while back we had some family pictures done. I was so excited to get them done because its the first set of pictures done since becoming a family of 4. Nolyn was in a bad mood almost the whole time but we did get 1 picture of the 4 of us, and hey thats all we really need right? Cami was a champ, mainly because she was held, and held be me. Here are the pictures from the day.

Nolyn goes to the Fair & Rodeo

My parents took Nolyn to the North Texas Fair and Rodeo Saturday night, and for what I could tell she enjoyed herself. Nolyn loves animals so watching all the horses and cows are right up her alley. Since Grant and I didnt go because we stayed home with Camryn, my cousin took pictures. Here they are to enjoy.

Summer Fun

Summer is the time for swimsuits, and playing in the water. Now after two kids I'm not sure you will see me in one, so I must be talking about my girls. My sister Kaila got both girls "bikinis" this year. Most nights when Grant and I get home and after dinner we let Nolyn play outside, burn off some of that energy I wish I could bottle and use myself. A lot of the time its taking the girls to the pond and feeding the fish, but lately its been putting on the swimwuit and playing in the pool Mimi (my mom) got her. So since the girls are so cute in their suits I thought I would share with everyone some pictures. Enjoy.

3 Months & 18 Months

Ok, its been a while since I updated so I thought during lunch would be a good time. The girls are doing great. Its hard for Grant and I to believe they are almost 4 & 19 months now. I'll first start with whats going on with Grant and I. Grant has gone back to teaching. He finished the year as a long term sub, but will start back full time in the fall. We are so happy about this. This also means that in the fall we will be moving closer to Denton, so we will be closer to where each of us work...YAY!


Nolyn is coming into her own now, and my I say she is one very smart little girl. She knows her animals and what they say and were now working on letters and colors. She's actually putting words together to make sentences. She also knows her body parts (head, nose, eyes, teeth, etc)This girl also doesn't ever slow down, its always go, go, go with her, but that's ok, she wants to take everything in and never wants to miss a thing.


Camryn is doing great. She's starting to show interest in sitting on her own. Anytime she is in her car seat shes always trying to lift her back out of it. Its unbelievable how strong she is. She's already trying to army crawl and she's not even rolling over (well she has rolled over, just doesn't do it continuous). She has found her hands and her voice. She giggles a lot and smiling more and more. She's such an easy, happy baby.


Yesterday while we were at Church my parents built the girls a swingset. This is great because our new favorate thing to do when we get home from work is to sit on the backporch and watch Nolyn play in the yard. I got to snap a couple of pictures of the girls in the swing, they both seemed to enjoy it. Actually Nolyn came over while Cami was in the swing and started pushing her, Cami seemed to enjoy it she just giggled.

Here are the girls swinging in their new swing
