Thanksgiving!

We had a whirlwind Thanksgiving...we were in Houston for Thanksgiving, College Station for the game and then headed to Amarillo for a family reunion! What a weekend, very fun!

Thanksgiving morning we headed to downtown for the parade, it was great! Amy just got tired, so we didn't stay the whole time...but she loved seeing everything!
Her favorite balloon!

We had thanksgiving with Matt's family and it was fabulous! Amy got to eat with her little cousins and was such a big girl!

Waiting at the airport to go to Amarillo...Amy loved all the planes :)We woke up Sunday to SNOW!!! Tyler was so excited! And it was big pretty snow, so the kids played out in the snow for awhile!

Ryan and Amy ready to go!

Ryan borrowed a hat and looked a little French :)

Tyler making a snow angel :)

Inside for breakfast! Two kids + a dozen doughnut holes + snow = WILD

Making a snowman!

Amy bringing Uncle Galyn some snow...

Loving it!

Mimi and the grandkids!

Attempting to get all three little ones and the snowman...

The Gafford boys...so precious!

There is one with all of them, finally!

We were lucky enough to get to watch fighter jets doing some take off and landing exercises while we waited at the airport...it was awesome to see!

Happy Halloween!

We had quite a fun Halloween this year! Amy loves pumpkins and made a pretty cute little one :)

The week before Halloween, Opa and Oma came to visit...we took them to a pumpkin patch and Amy loved it...only trouble was she couldn't pick up all the pumpkins...in Dallas, they were all small so she could...she still tried with the big ones though :)

Woo...heavy!

Oma helping her sit on pumpkins...also super fun!

Too busy to look at Mommy!

Time for a cookie break with Opa and Daddy...

The next day, we decided to paint our pumpkins so that Amy could help! She had tons of fun!

Water break...with a little paint on her face...

Trying to decide where to put her wooden pumpkin...

Also, Oma taught Amy to say Willila...very impressive and we think it is precious!!! She is one up on most people now :)

On Halloween, Grams and Mimi came to help us celebrate, so Daddy and Amy carved a pumpkin...

Drawing on the face...

Yikes...all of these are out of order and I am too lazy to fix them...

Amy and Daddy off to another house...after the first two houses, everytime we asked her if she wanted to go to a house, it was a very quick "yes" :)

At our second house...that is Amy's friend Lucky in the background...he walks by our house every night and he and Amy visit...she usually gives him tons of hugs!

Ready for Trick or Treating! Flash and Roxy went with us to help their little sister out! And there is the only picture we got of our finished pumpkins!

Sorry, back to the pumpkin carving...Amy pulling out the seeds...

Yikes...kind of gross...she gave up after this and let Daddy pull out the rest!

Back to trick or treating...

Grams and Amy coming back from another house!

Mimi's turn!

Back at home...our little pumpkin in the pumpkin patch :)

After trick or treating, Daddy and I had to get ready for our Halloween Party :) Amy had to try on Daddy's mullet wig...unfortunately she wouldn't turn around so I could see the front! And of course Flash had to get in a picture :)

Mommy and Daddy, the white trash shotgun wedding :) Sadly we did not win the costume contest, but we did have fun!

Amy is excited...

to be a BIG SISTER!!! Baby Roberts will be here April 28th! Or in our case maybe the first part of May :) We are all very excited! We hopefully find out in November if we are having a boy or girl! Daddy says girl and Amy says brother...we will see who is right!

Amy showing off her birds on her shirt!
Trying to get a little one to stand still for a picture of the front of her shirt = impossible!

On the move...

There's one we can read...finally :)

Trip to Dallas!

Last weekend we went to Dallas to visit and celebrate Ryan's first birthday! Aunt Meredith and Uncle Brandon took us to the best pumpkin farm! We all had a blast! Amy is still talking about pumpkins and hay rides :)

Aunt Meredith and Amy feeding the goats!
Uncle Brandon's turn to help!

Checking out the big pumpkins...

Up close inspection...

Heavy pumpkins! Luckily she is so strong :)

Checking them out with Daddy!

Ready for the hay ride!

A silly smile with Daddy!

She was so tired and crashed on the way home...while holding her pumpkin still!

On to Ryan's party...such fun! And he is so precious!!!

And he had tons of help opening his presents!!!

Trying out the Mickey toy! Check out those blue eyes...so cute!

On to pictures! Mimi and almost all the grandkids :)

Aunt Trish and the birthday boy!

Amy loves "Tyter"!!! He cracks her up!

Then Tyler took some pictures! He is pretty good at using the timer :)

Amy's turn!

We had a fabulous weekend!!! Thanks everyone for a great weekend!!!

Random October Happenings...

A few pictures of the Clary House open house...apparently I only took pictures of Amy...

Amy and Mason watching a little TV together, impossible to get them both to look at once...but look how precious Mason is :)

Amy likes to play an ABC computer game and it cracks us up! She will sit at the computer all by herself and patiently hit one key...very cute :)

A Birthday Surprise for Grams!

In September, we went to Bryan to visit Grams and take her birthday goodies :) I made her and Amy matching aprons to use at the B&B (and by I, I mean Mimi and I - I always need help!) They broke them in making us some yummy cookies!

All good chefs check their food out...

They also spent some time watering the plants out front...if you look closely at Amy you can see Grams other birthday surprise :)

All in all, a great day to visit and celebrate a fabulous lady's birthday!!! Happy birthday Grams, we love you :)
