Tinkerbelle

Annabelle loves to dress up.

Smores

Judd decided he was in the camping mood. So he got out the camping stove and taught the kids how to make smores. They tasted great and we had a great night.

Annabelle's Birthday

It is official. Annabelle is three years old. Not only that but she is finally potty trained. We used her birthday as a dead line. We had a great day. We went to the gym. Then we stopped at Micheals to let Annabelle pick out some crafts. When we got home we decorated ornaments. Then the kids helped me frost her birthday Cake. I let her chose her favorite dinner and it was none other than Mac and cheese, big surprise their. Judd was on call all day but was able to come home for presents and cake. She got lots of new clothes which she needed because she is finally a 3T. When we went to the doctor she weighed the big 25 lbs which is in the 3% and she is 3 feet tall, which is in the 20%. She is growing which is good news. She got new shoes, Ballet clothes, an olivia doll and book, a new dog stuffed animal,a princess lunch box and dolls, and her and Dax's favorite a Dance Camera, which show them dancing on TV. It was a great birthday. We missed you all.

Thanksgiving dinner

We had a great dinner. Judd had the day off and I spent it in the kitchen. Dax and Annabelle helped break the green beans. Annabelle mixed the Green Bean Casserole. Dax helped me with the banana cream pie. Most of the dinner turned out great, except for the pumpkin pie that I forgot to put sugar in. Luckily we had two others to eat. After we cleaned up we went on a walk around the neighborhood. It was a beautiful day. That night we put up our tree but we didn't get to decorate it. Then Judd suggested we play a game and if you know Judd you know it is a rare thing.

Dax's Thanksgiving Day Parade

Dax's School had a Thanksgiving Day parade. Each kid made a costume and a drum and walked through the halls singing 1 little 2 little 3 little Indians. It was really cute. Then they got to eat the Thanksgiving Day meal they made. They baked a turkey, corn on the cob and beans. They made home made butter. I was lucky to be a part of it. He has a wonderful class and teacher.

Dax's Soccer is over and he did really well. On his last game he made another goal. He is starting to understand the concept of teamwork. We are really proud of him. For his party they went to Chuck E cheese. Judd was not too happy but we had a good time. Dax even got a neat trophy.

Chase is up!

The start of all the big moments. First it is sitting. Then crawling then talking and walking. He is no longer my little infant. We took him to the doctor on Monday and he is 17.63 lbs ( 50%)and 27.5 in. (90%).

Halloween

For Halloween Dax was a Soldier. Judd even did his face paint. Annabelle wanted to be a mean witch with a broom. And Chase was a tiger. Dolly invited us over to her neighborhood to go trick-or-treating with Gabriel and Austin. The kids had a great time. When we got back Judd decided to take them around our neighborhood also. They got so much Candy there is no way they will eat it all.

Fall Farms

Fall is my favorite time of the year. It is not just because my birthday come in October, but I just love the colors, the weather and the holiday season. One of my favorite things to do is to take the kids to a farm. We got to go to two different farms. Bella a girl on Dax's soccer team had a birthday party at Fiesta Farms. It was really fun. They had a petting zoo with baby goats. Each kid got to ride a horse. Dax chose the biggest horse ( the other kids were afraid of it). Then they went on a hay ride. The next week we went to the corn maze with our neighbor Nolan. While we were there we ran into an old friend with a grandson named Dax every time we see them we try to get a picture. The kids went on a barrel ride and loved it. My butt was no so sure.

Family Fun

Chris and Mariah had to come down for a Dental Convention. When the Robins heard that they were coming to San Antonio they decided to come also. Then Kelly wanted to come and meet Chase. And then Laura felt left out so she got a ticket also. So we had everyone except Rad and Wes come and visit for my birthday. It was a great weekend. Here are some of the pictures of all the kids. It was great to have all of the cousins together for the first time. There is Dax 5, Annabelle 2 1/2, Cooper 2, Hank 7 months, Chase 5 months, Jack 4 months, and Charles in belly.

Annabelle's Dance Class

Annabelle was so excited for her class that she couldn't wait for her friends to get here. She is so coordinated I think that she will be a great dancer.

Dax's Big goal

Dax is getting really good at soccer. At the last game he scored three goals. In this video he kicks the ball in and his teammate Sarah kick the ball down field. The other team trips over the ball and that is when Dax kicks it in.

Annabelle's First Day of school

Annabelle was so excited to go to school that we got there early. She walked right in and didn't even look back. Her class is the orange class. At school they have music time, art time, Bible story time, lunch time and recess. When I picked her up her teachers said that it seemed like she had been there the whole time. She was a great listener, helped them clean up, and ate all of her lunch. She had such a busy day that she feel asleep on the way home and stayed asleep until we had to pick up Dax.

Annabelle's Gymnastics

Annabelle doesn't like to watch Dax's Soccer Game, but she has been getting really good at somersaults.

Primary Party

Primary Party

The kids went to a water party at the Church. Dax and Annabelle had a lot of fun. Annabelle did everything that Dax did. She was like his little shadow.

Th Little Rascels

Dax has been playing soccer for two weeks. He has come along way. Some of the other teams have been practicing for a month. Dax has had two games so far. The games in his league are 3 on 3. At the last game he played the whole time, and at some times he was the only one playing on his team because some of his teammates were having breakdowns on the team or just not wanting to play. Dax has not scored a goal yet but he is getting close. He has blocked a lot of goals though. We are so proud of him.

Happy Birthday Judy

We hope you are having a wonderful birthday. We miss you so much. We know Oct is just around the corner, but it still seems a long time away. We can't wait to see you. We love you so much.

Dax's first day of School

We got his lunch box packed, His clothes set out, and his backpack ready. I guess it is time to let him go to school. He was so excited about Kindergarten. I can't believe he is old enough. The day feels a little quiet. Annabelle is entertaining herself. I can't wait to see his face and hear about his day.

The Childrens Museum

While Grandma Ward was still in town we took the kids to the Children's Museum. We had a great time. They had all kinds of things for the kids to do. Our favorite spot was the bubble labs. The kids got to make all kinds of bubbles, and channel water down different paths that they made. It was a fun day.

The Blessing

It was so nice the have both of the Grandparent out for the blessing. It was a wonderful time. Chase is growing so fast.

Trip to Colorado

We had an amazing trip to Colorado with my family. Judd had to stay behind and work. We started in Utah where Chase met all the family including his Great grandparents Robins, Ward, and Bird. I can't believe they where all in town when we were. I also hung out with my old College friend Tonya. It was so good to see her again. We drove from Salt Lake City to Durango Co. in my parents van. Dad couldn't believe how good Chase was. He didn't even cry until right before we got to the condo. That was more than 8 hours in the car when you count the stop at Arches. It was good for everyone to get out and stretch their legs. The condo was interesting. Their were three stories with a hot tub on the first floor. Two rooms on the 2nd and an Attic for the kids. We stayed with Jeff and Cherie. Dax and Annabelle had a great time with their cousin. We went hiking visited some mines, played miniature golf, went swimming, and rode the train to Silverton. It was nice to be with the whole family. On the way home we stopped in Mesa Verda. Annabelle said all the trees where broken because their were no leaves on them from a fire. We were able to spend a couple more day in Utah with the Robins before we came home to Judd.

More Chase

Judd's Class

This is the first time in over two years that everyone in Judds class were together. It was a very nice evening to catch up with everyone.

Chase's Bath

The kids love to give Chase his baths. Chase isn't quite sure if he likes it. The kids sometimes splash him in the face and he doesn't like that.

Dax's presents

Dax was spoiled this year. He got two hot wheel tracks a bunch of cars, some Transformers, a marble run, some clothes, and a new bike. He was so excited. We were finally able to put on the 5 candle for him to blow it out. Then after the cake he took his bike for a ride. He is a little scared of the hills by our house. His would go about 5 inch's and then brake. We will have to find somewhere flat for him to try riding.

Dax's Birthday

Judd took Dax to Seaworld with my Mom and Dad. They had a great time. After Seaworld we went to Texas Roadhouse. Dax ate his Andies Steak and got to sit on the saddle for them to sing to him.

Dax's Birthday party

Dax had a birthday party on June 12 with his friends. He wanted a Star Wars Party, so we bought these water tubs and told the kids they were light sabers. The kids could squirt each other or a large picture of Darth Vader. We also had a slip and slide. The kids loved it. When it was time for the kids to sing to Dax and for him to blow out the candles he had a fit. The candle had a 5 on it and he didn't want to blow it out because he wasn't 5 years old. So we had no candles on the cake but the kids still sang to him.
