When Mimi and Pappy come to visit, we......

...play baseball.

...jump on the trampoline.

...ride our bikes (yes, even Pappy!).

...take silly pictures.

...play with our trains (is it just me, or is something missing here??).

And of course, we shave!

We had a great visit with Mimi and Pappy, and we can't wait for them to come back! 

PS--When they come back, it means Baby M is here!

Day 36

We are so blessed to have a family that loves us so much.  This weekend, Mom and Dad got Nonnie and Mawmaw to come with them to Longview.  It was a great weekend!  The kids were so excited and surprised to see everyone!  Stay tuned for more photos!

365 Project 2011

So I have decided to attempt the 365 Project for 2011.  I will document my progress here.  Check out the link if you want to find out more, but basically it is a daily photo journal that documents your year.

I am having so much fun with it so far!  It is a great way for me to journal what is going on in our lives, while developing my photography skills at the same time.  I know these are baby steps, but I definitely feel like I am making progress.

And, I know, I know....I am supposed to be choosing one photo, but it is just so dang hard sometimes ;)

Mimi and Pappy's Invasion

Well, it didn't take as long as I thought it would:  Mimi and Pappy came to see the Munchkins in Texas!!  They didn't get in until almost eleven, so the kiddos were both out.  Boy, did they have a surprise when they awoke Saturday morning!  Gannon was so surprised, he got a little embarrassed ;)

Austyn, on the other hand, immediately invited Pappy to a tea party.

They came on a great weekend, our chosen new "hometown" was having a Western Days Festival.  We were able to attend the parade and some of the other festivities.

Austyn wasn't really too sure about it at first, but she eventually let her little self loose.

Gannon was so excited about all the candy.

He spent the better part of the parade covering his ears ;)

For as much as he loves music, he sure hates loud noises! 

We wore out my sweet little princess :)

Everyone had a great time.  We even ran into our friends, Nick and Julie Walker.  They have two boys, and Gannon absolutely adores their older son, Dylan.  He wants to be just like him.  When we introduced them to Mimi and Pappy, we found out that Mimi taught Nick in first grade!  It is such a small world!

After the parade was over, we headed out to lunch...Then, on to the NEW HOUSE!!
