Wild and Crazy...

The girls are 11 mths old now, man how time flies. They are getting so big. Kennedy has been walking for a few months, and Bailey just today took a few steps. She by no means is walking, but a few steps is great. She cruises around everything, so I know her legs are getting stronger. Kennedy is into everything and on everything!!! She now stands on Carter's little table, yes on the top...she has NO FEAR! I guess this is how I was when I was little, so I am not really surprised, I am getting my payback.

This was such an adorable picture of Bailey. She had just climbed into Carter's chair, and was so proud of herself.


Kennedy taking Bailey for a ride...she was loving it.


Again, after she had climbed up in the chair


This is the newest thing that they girls have done. They used to just open it when I was in there cooking, but now Kennedy stands in it. What do I do? When I turn my back for one minute they are in something else...oh the joys!

Again with the stove drawer, this time it was when they were with their dad.

They are so fun, and love Carter so much. They also love to fight over toys, which is so funny to watch right now. I am sure it won't be much fun later, but I can laugh now.

Our Little Pilgrim

Yesterday was Carter's Thanksgiving Program and Feast at school. I can at least say he did not make a scene on stage, he literally just stood there. I think he spent most of his time looking for Chris and I, but once he found us he was definitely happy. Too bad he did not find us until the end, and we were even on the 2nd row. He looked so adorable, and I guess I am not surprised he did not sing, he is just like his father.

This is the 3 and 4 yr old preschoolers at Lifeway. Each class was dressed up differently.


So funny...this is after he found us. He is with Jesse and Jack on this right. Jesse was the entertainer throughout the program (so funny) and then there was Jack who hid his face behind his hat the entire time. So again, at least Carter just stood there.


Carter and Mrs. Jarvis his teacher


Carter and us, we got to stay for lunch with his, and I think he thought that was the coolest. And more importantly he did not have to share this time with the girls.

Carter is into taking pictures these days, so this is the one he took of us...pretty good if I do say so.

Johnny Popper

So, if you know my son at all, you know he LOVES tractors. Well, today his Papa Flynt came over and brought his tractor for Carter to ride. He was in heaven. The smile on his face was priceless. The tractor is a 1937 model A tractor, so it was old and had a tendency to pop (hence Johnny Popper).

Chris and Carter...I think they were probably both loving every minute of the drive

The smile on his face here is my favorite

Friday Night Lights

Gravette is in the state playoffs again this year, so last night Chris and Dane brought out Paige and Carter to the game. Several of our other friends came out as well since they did not have games in their hometowns. As you can tell the kids had a good time.

Carter, Paige and Ava (yep she was cheering for Gravette last night)

What...Me?

The girls are doing great, and getting crazier by the day. Here are just a few pictures of what they do during the day.

Kennedy loves the pantry, and tonight she came out with these Wal-Mart sacks. One was stuck on her foot but she continued to walk all over the house with it on there and carrying the others...crazy


They have recently discovered the cabinet with books/toys, etc. If you look close enough (orange pants) you can see Kennedy sitting in the cabinet


The girls and Carter spend a lot of their days playing in his room, and now both girls love getting on his bed and "jumping." Funny thing is, Carter would have had to put Bailey on the bed, but she loved it.

Start Your Engines...

Last weekend Dane, Russ, Chris, Renae, and I all went to the Nascar Race at Texas Motor Speedway. Most people know that I have been to at least one Nascar race a year since 2002 when I started working at Newell. And since Ashley and Russ live 10 miles from the speedway in Texas we decided that this year we should go there. It was a lot of fun, and a first for Dane and Russ. I think they had a good time, especially seeing all the crazy people that attend the race. I think they probably thought me and Renae were the craziest "stalkers" of all.

The group on pit road...we were able to get a pit/garage tour


Renae and me...she is my racing buddy


The boys...I think Chris was glad he had someone besides me and Renae to hang out with this year.


ZZ Top was the pre-race entertainment...either the sound system wasn't that good, or they weren't that good. The jury is still out on that one. It was cool to see them, but they sang for WAY TOO LONG!

This plane brought the pace car to the race. It landed right in front of us. If you click on the picture, you can actually see the guy giving a thumbs up...it was amazing.

The plane dropping on the car

Kurt Busch won the race...he had to do his victory lap driving backwards around the track.

I know this is not entertaining to some people, but I love it. I know it's weird, but what can I say.

Cowboy and Things

For Halloween we had ourselves a cowboy and of course Thing 1 and Thing 2. It was so fun to see them all dressed up. I actually made the girls hair...not professional, but we all got the point. We had a great time, we went to some families houses and then we went to our church FallFest. The girls actually left their hair on almost the whole time. I was very surprised, especially that Kennedy left hers on. Hope you enjoy.

As you can see Carter was truly getting into the Cowboy spirit...he kept saying Hee Haw and tipping his hat


Thought this picture was so cute of Bailey and Chris


Nana with Thing 1 and 2


Our friends Luke and Jessica dressed their little boy Justus up as the Cat in the Hat. Not a great picture of all of us, but none the less we got them all together. They girls just love Justus.

As you can see they love him...it was actually his birthday on Sat., so Happy Birthday Justus
