Merry Christmas!

Two years old!!

Wade turned two last week and Cary and I are so astounded at what a big boy he's become. He was very excited to blow out his two candles, and is still singing happy birthday and asking to blow out the candles this week.



He is also very excited about halloween, he will be a pirate this year. We made it out to the Houston Zoo today to for ZooBoo, and it was a blast. Wade especially enjoyed watching the deer chow down on a pumpkin. He got to pick out his own pumpkin and color it himself - we all had a blast.



Sorry I have been so bad about updating the blog. With the holidays coming, I hope to do a better job!

God Bless.

Bubbles.

After you swim, you need a good bath.

Pool is open!

Here are some preliminary pictures of the pool.

The water is a nice, cool 85 degrees - everyone jump in!

Sam's.

Daddy went to Sam's to buy toilet paper.

He came home with this life jacket (for the pool, of course) and this elephant, who we've affectionately named Sam.

Way to go Dad!

Wade's first trip to the beach.

Here are some pictures from our beach adventure this morning!

Pool Build - Day Three

Pool Build - Day Two

Sweet little Caden.

Cary got to go work at Kennedy Space Center last week. Unfortunately he had to come home before the launch, but he got to visit with Wade's friend Caden, such a little sweetie.

June and July 2009

Hello all, of course - we've been busy, thus the absence.

But we have news. First, poor Shiner girl had to have surgery. She had a hematoma on her ear, which we had to get fixed. She's ok now, but looked pretty sad afterwards. Here is Wader giving her a tentative pat on the butt.



And second, we are putting in a pool. We hope for construction to begin next week. As soon as we have pictures we will share progress of the pool build. It's been a hot summer here, as I am sure it's been everwhere. Stay cool - and God Bless.

Let's Rock!

Here are the pictures from Brayden's birthday party! (Click Me)

Summer, summer, summertime!

We had so much fun with cousin Lauren last weekend, and it's been so hot here - we've been in the sprinkler a lot.

Hope everyone is having a great summer.

New Camera

We got a new camera and we've been having so much fun. We got photoshop delux as well and Cary is having a blast with it, I am sure you all can imagine.

God Bless.

First, the golf video.


This video is for Uncle Craig.


A boy and his dog.


Wade loves to play outside, and he loves to play with the hose.

Amarillo By Easter

Just a quick note to let everyone who hasn't heard know that we will be in Amarillo for Easter weekend.

Can't wait to see everyone.

March 2009

Sorry it's been so long. We've been really busy! We've been having a blast with Wade these last few weeks. He's really talking a lot and LOVES to play outside. In fact we expanded our patio to have more mud free play space. Once we get a good picture of it we will share.

Wade has been learning how to play golf, baseball and football...and he's got quite an arm. We can't tell if he's a lefty or righty yet. He loves to watch Golf on television, which Daddy is happy about but me, not so much. His newest thing is saying, "Ready....GO!" which was what he was doing to try to hurry this golfer up. He also says it before he swings the golf club at the tennis ball that is sitting on the baseball tee.

Ready, GO!


Last weekend we went to the Rodeo. Wade got to pet a cow, which was surely the highlight of his week. He also enjoyed the pony ride.

Here is a slide show of pictures from the last month or so. We have way too many to post them all so I decided to post some of the good ones. We've come to realize we really need a photography class and a decent camera....we stink at taking pictures!

Here are two more videos that we thought were worth sharing.
Cheese!


Gardening.


Take care!!

Uncle Craig and Aunt Sarah!

Uncle Craig and Aunt Sarah came to see us this weekend and what a great time we had!! On Saturday we went to the zoo. We were so excited to show Wade all of the animals, since he is saying so many animal sounds now. Especially the lion, since Wade loves to roar!! Naturally Wade was very excited to see all the new things.






We all got to spend so much time playing, Wade was just so exhausted at the end of the weekend, but had a great time with Aunt Sarah and uncle Craig.



The final piece of exciting news is Wade's new Jeep. Cary went and picked it up over the weekend. Wade loves riding in it!

Noodle-head.

15 month Appt.

Just a quick update to let everyone know how Wade's 15 month check up went.

As we all expected Wade is doing great! Dr. Q was very impressed with all of his talking and expects him to be a proficient verbal communicator in 2-3 months. I swear the other night he said, "read to me". This morning he woke up asking for "Blues Clues" and even knows the songs and sings along.

He is 86% in height and 16% in weight. Tall and skinny, which doesn't surprise anyone. He did get 2 shots, but was a little trooper and only cried for a few minutes.

Till next time!

Saturday night with Brayden.

Wade and Brayden played together on Saturday night and it was so cute to watch them interact. They both go to the same babysitter during the week, so I think they will be good friends some day!!



Wade ate a big boy sandwich from Arby's yesterday and it was so cute. He actually only took a few bites, but it was cute none-the-less.



Have a blessed week!!

Another video.

I forgot to post this one last weekend.


Wade has been having a blast this morning playing in the dishwasher!! It' supposed to be a beautiful weekend here, so we will spend a lot of time playing outside.



Hope everyone is well!!

Second post of the year!

It has been brought to my attention that we've only posted once this year. I realize this is unacceptable, so hopefully I can make more time to post the pictures and videos we take!!

First here is a video of a game we call 'buckethead'.



He and the doggies are really getting along well these days.



Bye Bye, we will post more soon!!

Happy New Year.

I know we are a little behind on posting, but I wanted to tell everyone Happy New Year!!

We are all doing great. Wade especially. He is getting some molars and really talking up a storm. He can practically run now and we have a hard time keeping up with him. We have some adorable videos we will share as soon as I get a moment to turn on the computer at home.

For now, here are some pictures that Sarah's sister, Rebecca Hobbs took of Wade at Uncle Craig's wedding. I thought these were great shots of him in his tux.
