Donnie is sitting now!!

Donnie has been working on it for a long time now, and he's finally got it. He is sitting up with no problem at all. He has an occasional wipeout, but that's usually because Cadynce is tackling him. He is finally consistently rolling over both ways and Cadynce loves to roll him over using only her head. Yes, that sounds weird but it is really entertaining for us all. Donnie adores his big sister. View Album for more pictures.

Aunt Cat and Uncle Chase Visit!!

Catherine and Chase came to see us for a few days and they have decided that they are not ready for kids yet!! Donnie did a great job of spitting up on both of them and we changed Cadynce's name to Whiney Whiner. Just kidding, it wasn't that bad. We were so happy they came to visit and so were Hoosier and Roxy. Roxy got a lot of cuddle time on the couch with Cat and Chase while Hoosier enjoyed having her bed to herself.

We went bowling one morning and went to the playground a couple of times, played a little tennis, and did some shopping. I was also honored to introduce Chase to his first Chipotle burrito. I think he's in love!! Friday night we went to Floores Country Store to listen to some Texas Country music. There was hardly anyone there, but it was fun to take them somewhere that was totally Texas. We ate lunch outside in the perfect weather each day while the kids napped...it was wonderful.

Go Irish!

Don and I had a great Halloween night. We went to watch Notre Dame play at the Alamodome and got to see our friends Jeff and Kelly. The game was a blowout, but we stayed until the very end and that rarely happens. We just enjoyed our evening out. After the game we went to Chili's to eat. I really love our date nights.

Happy Halloween!

We went trick or treating at the zoo on Friday night. It was pretty cool walking around the zoo at night and seeing the animals. Cadynce doesn't quite have the hang of trick or treating yet. Why do they put the candy in the bucket? They should have just put in her mouth as she walked by. Each piece of candy that was put in her bucket, she took it out and ate it. She was on a serious sugar high. We definitely "over did it." We had a great time and Cadynce loved being a monkey again. Our plan was for her to be Abby Cadabby from Sesame Street, but the weather was a little cool for that costume so she was a BoBo Brother. My plans for their costumes didn't happen this year.

Papa Jack & Namah Visit (Videos Added)

Papa and Namah spent their fall break with us this weekend. We spent a lot of time outside enjoying this beautiful weather. Cadynce got to show off her scooter and her bike riding. We are really loving our cul-de-sac. We went to a football game Friday night and on Saturday we spent the day at a pumpkin patch doing all kinds of fun things. We ate apple ice cream covered with apple cider and it was really good.

I enjoyed some time getting to go out and do a little shopping by myself. Saturday night my parents watched the kids while Don and I went out. That is always a treat!! We had such a great time. View Album for more pictures. Click here for videos.

4 Months Old

Maybe it's because I gave birth to him, but I can hardly handle how cute Donnie is. His new favorite thing is the Johnny Jumper. He's growing up so fast and getting bigger every day. I'm anxious for his check-up next week to see his stats. We're taking him to his first football game tomorrow night...we'll see how it goes with two little ones this year.

Last Trip to the Pool (Videos Added)

Our pool is closing for the season so we had to go one more time. This time we got Donnie in the pool. We tried the kiddie pool out for the first time and Cadynce had a blast. It was nice for Don and I as we relaxed while Cadynce played. She brought her torpedos and she was actually able to get them a few times from the bottom.

When we got home we made cupcakes for her "friend" Benny. It was his birthday and she wanted to have a party for him...so we did. Benny is from the show Dora and he goes everywhere with us. She loves to pretend. View Album for more pictures. Click here for videos.

Donnie 3 1/2 months

-Green Outfit-

Cadynce 10 months

Donnie 3 1/2 months

We're bringing out the winter clothes this week.

Cadynce learning a little lesson from Daddy. "Why can't I drag Hoosier around the house on her leash?"

Who says you can't have a whole family of George's? Cadynce loves to play in her "home" in the wall. She loves to play Daddy, Mommy, Cadynce, and Donnie George.

As many of you may know, bed time can be a long process and I look for any way to get it done without any "dorking" around. This is what Cadynce looks forward to every night. She wants to get her J's on, teeth brushed, and book read so she can sing "Daddy I'm ready" with me. It gets her laughing so hard so we had to get it on video. The louder we sing the harder she laughs. Donnie does not like this!!
