Growing up so fast!

Chace is 4 years old and Paige is almost 2! Here they posing together for school pictures in October. Yes, it's October 2009, not 1989 as you might think from the backdrop and look of the photo....And yes, we have finally cut Chace's hair since this photo was taken :)

Halloween 2009

Fun, fun, fun!! We really enjoyed Halloween 2009. Our neighbohood had a gathering for the families from 4-6p that included a visit by firemen. We then had a nice dinner at home with Mimi and Poppi before heading out for candy. Chace has learned the "rules" of the game

now and did well gathering a lot of candy. Paige used her cutenss to her advantage and also filled her bag!

Here are some snapshots of Peter Pan and Tinkerbell

Camping October 17-18th

The first real camping trip for Chace and Paige was a huge success! Thanks to Jill and Dave for setting it up and for special ordering the wonderful weather!

Day 1 - Jill and Dave picked up the kids from school and headed out to Stephen F. Austin State Park, about 30 miles outside Houston. Chace and Paige had fun helping to set up the camper and went on a nature walk with Mimi and Poppi. We arrived just after dinner that evening in time for the first round of S'Mores!

Day 2 - We got up and headed to Dewberry Farm. We all enjoyed kettle corn and the various activites like picking flowers, shooting corn, animals and jumping, running etc. Paige especially loved the sweet little piglets in a cage...you can just call her Fern!

That afternoon was just gorgeous weather and we all relaxed around the campsite...a good time was had by all!
