Fall Festival

Our festivities started with dinner at The Gin with the Lewis' and the Gross'....always a crowd favorite! After stuffing our faces we loaded up and drove over to Rucker Park for Prospers Annual Fall Festival. Both the kids thoroughly enjoyed it. Cayman went crazy over the oversized stuffed (human) animals which is truly amazing since she seems to be so leery of stangers or even close acquiantances. As daddy said "at least we won't have to worry if a stranger tries to come get her but look out if Sparky the firedog tries to lure her!"

If you can't tell by the pictures, Cayman was a pirate and Nate was a horse. At this age, I can't see the need in extravagant costumes as much as my heart tells me I want to.

Look at that excitement on his face. Priceless!!!!


this juju bankhead....isn't she adorable!

Sparky the firedog....he just came to visit her at school a few days ago so she probably thought they "went way back"



And this is the chickfila cow! She was just in heaven.

This was probably her favorite part of the whole night. This was Flicka the pony! As much as I am fighting it, I think she may be turning into a horse lover! ahhhhhhh!

Her best friends Tanner & Abigail. Arent' they cute?

Nate's 1st Birthday... AND the unfortunate Cowboys game

Nate already turned 1...ahhhhhhh....how did a whole year fly by SO FAST? I can't believe he is really one years old. He is getting so big. He's taking really sturdy steps so I would guess he's days or maybe a few weeks away from walking. He's slowly starting to add words into his vocabulary and has more personality than 10 kids put together. His facial expressions just kill me. As you all know, I am a big theme party person and it delights me to no end to see their expressions when they see all the decorations. I never knew even one year olds could get so excited. Nate had a great time eating his extravagant birthday cake (yes, the second one I made), opening presents and playing with all his family & friends. He didn't watch much of the Cowboys game (which didn't deserve any recognition anyways) but he did enjoy his football field and goal post we got for him and all the other fun toys everyone got him. He got two tractors, one of which drives on it's own....he thinks it's hysterical. I have to say though, his absolute favorite part of the party was taking down the decorations. I had these silver shimmer stars hanging from the ceiling that B held him up to to tear down and he lost it. Everytime he would successfully pull one down he was swirl into a stream of laughter. The great belly laugh that only babies possess! Greatness!!!!
