fun weekend anyone??











Well half of a fun weekend I should say! We had lots of fun with family, BUT poor Texas Tech!?!? What is the deal?! WHO loses to aTm?? Sorry aggies, but REALLY! We are just struggling this year....all that said UNLIKE all those mean crazy "Tech fans" who are bandwagon, ya know only like Tech when they play well, I still love my Red Raiders, and hope they bounce back ASAP!! Goodness!
Anyway, the Woods and Waldrip's were here this weekend for the game, and we had lots of fun. Here are some pics of Elli Kate in her Estacado Blue workout suit (Daddy's school) AND her outfit to cheer on the Red Raiders! Her cousin Carter LOVES her and takes very good care of her when he is here. He told us that he wants to trade us Averi (his sis) for Elli. SILLY CARTER!

There is also a glimpse at what Elli is going to be for Halloween, home made costume! ha! Aaron drew this, and it cracked me up so I included it for you laughing pleasure. But stay tuned for the real costume. I am sure if Aaron and I are making it, it will be comical!

Last but not least, Elli and I have been putting miles on her new jogging stroller from Pappy and Nana. She looks tiny in it, but LOVES going for runs and walks!!

What a fun weekend!!

2 Months old!!
















Well Yes! It is over a month later, and this sweet little girl of ours is 2 MONTHS OLD?!?! She is so much fun these days! Here is a short list of some of the things she learned in her 2 months of life!










SMILING! It melts my heart to see that precious toothless grin!





Baby arobics (ha) She kicks her legs and flails her arms like she is working out! (This may be a sign that we might have our hands full pretty soon)





holding onto Daddy's finger. It is just the right size to fit in her hand.





Swinging...she loves her swing, despite her need to be held that was displayed earlier in life! She has grown to love being snuggled up and swinging.





Cooing and grunting...just precious!





wearing bows! Mommy definitely taught her this one...daddy yanks them off! ha





Going on walks! Elli Kate LOVES anything outside!





Having a bit of cereal in her night time bottles...this might explain those sweet cheeks!





Watching Baby Einstein ...She looks like an old man sitting in a recliner catching up on the latest TV!





Making Mom and Dad, and anyone who might be visiting be at my beckon call with the sweet little "fake cry" she has learned!





and best of all .....





Bath time!! She LOVES LOVES taking baths and swimming and splashing, it is the highlight of her day!










Elli is 9 weeks and 3 days old...can't believe it! What a sweet sweet blessing she is...we wouldn't trade her for ANYTHING!!
