Pony Up!

Rylee went on her first pony ride today at her friend Ellie's birthday party. She was a natural in the saddle....she must get that from my mom's side of the family!

For those that don't know (and you probably don't care either, but oh well....) Pony Up is the "catch phrase" at SMU - I guess it is their version of Gig'em - pretty weak if you ask this Ol Ag. However - I felt that Pony Up was the appropriate title for this post (other than for obvious reasons) because I am graduating from SMU in EXACTLY ONE MONTH!!!! I am so excited because I will finally have more time to enjoy these precious moments with my little cowgirl!

Hope everyone has a great weekend - BTHO OU! :)


"I love it up here!!!"


All of us!



Giddy-UP!!!

Rylee's New Friend!

Our good friends, The Smith's, are in town for a few weeks and we have been looking forward to their visit for so long! They have a little boy, Trenton, who is a few months older than Rylee and I have been so anxious to get the two of them together. They were a little unsure of eachother at first, but as soon as we stripped them down to their diapers they became fast friends. They crawled all over the house and played with everything in Rylee's room. They found the closet especially fascinating. Trenton tried to close them in there alone at one point.....it was soooo cute, but not appropriate for the first date! :)

Trenton is trying to pull Rylee's diaper down and lock them in the closet.....she doesn't seem to mind!

Buddies!

Sweet Trenton!

He looks just like his daddy!

Trenton and Rylee!

It was really nice to have everyone together last night - minus a few who were definately missed! :(

Happy Birthday Aaron James!

Today is my sweet nephew's third birthday! I can not believe that he is already three years old - he is such a doll! Clint and Amanda threw his birthday party last weekend (on Halloween) at the Farmersville Park. All of the kids came dressed up in their costumes and we had a great time. Rylee wore her pumpkin outfit and Aaron was Woody from Toy Story. Since Amanda's birthday is a few days before Aarons (shes the big 3-0 this year!!!) her mom decided to surprise her with a party of her own. It was so nice to get to spend some time with Clint, Amanda, and Aaron because we don't get to see them enough.

Curt and Clint with their Nanny!



They boys playing with all of Aaron's new toys!



My little pumpkin! This was her first time riding in the big girl stroller!

New Pictures!

We had family pictures taken in October. Our friend and neighbor, Andrea, did an amazing job (as always) of capturing Rylee in all her glory and giggles. I absolutely LOVE this pictures!!!
