My How Time FLIES...

Well, here we are almost to the end of the year. The last month and a half have passed by super quick but not without lots of major events including "Ike", trip to the Snyder Tiger football game, first trip on an airplane, picking pumpkins, Halloween as "Miss Turtle", Aggie football game, and an election. Wow, the hurricane put us all about 6 weeks behind and we are just now trying to catch up. We are thankful that during the storm we had Gigi's house to keep us sheltered. We stayed in Tomball for about 5 weeks and are finally back in our home after a new roof, fence, kitchen ceiling, living room ceiling, and new carpet have been set in place! Ellie loves her new cushy carpet to crawl on! She is into everything! It seems that all of the sudden we look up and she is doing something new. She loves to play "itsy, bitsy, spider", clap (feet and hands), cry when she wants to be picked up, pulls up on lots of things but does not know how to get back down, eats some table food, dances, and gives us smiles that melt our hearts! Here are a few pictures from the past few months!

ENJOY :)

During the hurricane Jamey and I celebrated our 6th anniversary with a candlelight dinner on Aunt Merrie's front porch!

The aftermath of "Ike" at Gigi's house! We put in lots of work to make the yard look better!

This is Gigi's neighbors house.

The grocery stores looked like Ghost Towns with no electricity to keep things refrigerated. Very weird site!

Our Little Snyder Tiger!

Ellie loves her new baby cousin but I don't know what Addie thinks of her!

Uncle Braden and Aunt Liz had a beautiful baby girl Addilyn Faith Doolittle

The courthouse in Colonial Williamsburg

You mean I have to go all the way to Virginia to get a taste?

Leaving on a Jet Plane! Spread Eagle ready to Fly!

Can't spread out when you get on the plane, but a nice 3 hour nap was awesome! We could not have planned it any better!

Our "wittle, wittle" Pumpkin

OOOOH that sun is too bright!

Cookies that Jamey and I made for Election Party 2008

The GOP didn't win this time around but we will continue to Pray for the leaders of this great Nation and Land that we love.

GOOOOO TEXANS!

Jamey and I were invited to attend the Texans vs. Tampa Bay game and sit in the very posh luxury suite compliments of a member at Carlton Woods. We were able to take Ellie and enjoy the game very comfortably! She had so much fun watching the crowds, hearing all of the cheers and seeing all of the flashy lights! Even though she got very tired she did not shed any tears and seemed to be content. The Texan cheerleaders came up to visit us and I was able to get some video clips and a friend took a picture with her camera so that pic will be coming soon... She did not know what to think of their painted makeup faces and glittery pompoms! They thought Ellie was just too cute in her official Texans jersey!!

Road trip to McKinney...

Me and Ellie - Cara and Ian - Jessica and Kate

Shopping Buddies! Kate is ready to eat and Ellie is ready to sleep!

"What ya doing later on, maybe we could drool a little together?"

Hurry up mom take the picture already!

Our sweet and patient hubbies!

We finally got Ellie up to McKinney to see her friends Kate and Ian. Kate and Ian are the children of two of my very close friends that I went to high school with. Kate belongs to Jessica and was born on January 9, 2008 and Ian belongs to Cara and was born one day after Ellie on February 21, 2008! Believe me we could not have planned our pregnancies any better! (All in The Lords PERFECT plan) We had so much fun watching the babies interact! I am so blessed to have such strong friendship's that go all the way back to grade school! Our kiddos have no choice in the matter of friendship! It's a good thing that our husbands enjoy each others company as well but again I guess that they have no choice in the matter either! Thanks to Danny and Jessica for having us all in their home to enjoy our families together. Love you guys very much!
