Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Mary got to go out in her first snow! It has snowed for much of the afternoon. It isn't sticking too much because the ground is still warm. Yesterday our high was in the upper 70's. Today's high was in the upper 20's!!! YIKES, IT'S COLD!

Week of Thanksgiving

Cousin Jackson came over to play on Friday. We had a lot of fun playing with the tractors.

I got to play in my sandbox a lot this week!

We had a lot of fun at our cookout on Saturday. William was cutting firewood out in the pasture, so Pa-Pa had the idea of a hot dog cookout. He also thought Mary would enjoy roasted marshmallows. She really wasn't too sure what to do. She took it in her hand and smooshed it. Then she tried to eat it. She had sticky marshmallow everywhere (even on Dora)! As you can see William got quite dirty from cutting all that wood.

Mary was quite tired after church. Pa-Pa and Mary laid down for a nap before lunch.

Family Potraits 2006

We went and had our family potraits taken yesterday. It took awhile to get Mary to cooperate.

Fun on the Farm

Mary always has such a fun time on the farm. She loves to just walk. And Granny takes her on gator rides :)

Happy Halloween!!!!

Mary had a fun time going trick or treating!

Mary would not let us help her eat tonight. She was determined to eat her spagetti all by herself. Believe it or not, she actually ate most of what was in her bowl! We would have taken her outside to hose her off, but it was too cold. So, we took her immediately to the shower!

We can never get both of them to look at the camera at the same time!

William's sister, Mandy, and our nephew, Vincent, came from NYC to visit and go to the State Fair of Texas. We all had fun at the fair! The highlight of the day for the kids had to be the Barnyard. They got to pet and feed animals from all over the world. The highlight for the adults had to be the FRIED FOODS! We enjoyed "the original" corny dog, fried coca-cola (funnel cake batter with coke, fried into nuggets, soaked in coke syrup, and topped with whipped cream sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar), fried tamale, curly fries, donkey tail (weiner sliced in half, stuffed with cheese, wrapped in a tortilla, and fried). We also enjoyed fresh lemonades and frozen cheesecake on a stick!
