Merry Christmas

We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

Love,

Curtis, Kara & Olivia

Halloween 2007

The Duck and I went trick-or-treating. Curtis drove us around. We went to five house and it took forever. Olivia didn't understand what was going on. She kept trying to give her treats back. She loved her costume and didn't want to take it off. Hope everyone had a good Halloween.

Olivia in the Pumpkin

The above pic was taken last October. She was four months old. She didn't like it then and she doesn't like it now. She is almost sixteen months old and still does not want to sit in that pumpkin

I think we will make this and annual picture for as long as we can find a pumpkin big enough.

The Scarecrow

This is at Moe and Gail's house. Curtis' dad. Moe said he didn't want a scary scarecrow so instead he made Dick Cheney. It really is to windy today to get good pictures.

I Love Fall

Just Some Pics

15 1/2 months

Yesterday was Olivia's 15 month checkup. She is 19lbs. 14oz. (10%) the doctor said not to worry. 31in long (75%). I forget how big her head was but it's in the 90%. She also said she has a good vocabulary. Her words are Daddy, puppy, thank you, hi , bye, what and hey. She had to get four shots. It was rough, but she wasn't too cranky yesterday afternoon. Will post pics soon.

A Duck On The Loose

This is Olivia's Halloween costume. She showed it off for the family the other night, and I couldn't wait to show her off. Crock found this really cute duck in Florida and sent it to Olivia. Olivia loves it. She does not want to take off the costume.

Thatcher and Ice Cream

Wednesday was Mamia's birthday (92). We got to see Thatcher and Averi for a minute. Thatcher is a big guy, but I think they had a good time.

Kelly and some ice cream.

Pretty Girl

We haven't had any pictures of dresses and bows lately. She is dancing in the above pic.

Jello Girl. She was sick and jello was about the only thing she would eat, but she had to do it herself.

Texas Tech Girl

Olivia was managed to get Curtis' shirt on with my help the other night. Her guns are up under the sleeves.

My Girl's Sick

After our trip to Glen Rose this weekend, Olivia came down with the croupe. She had a fever last night, so we went to the Dr. today. Dr. Landry said it's just croupe nothing else. That was good news. It should be gone in three days. I'll post new pictures soon. She will be 15 months this weekend.

A Burger

Averi sent me a topic to blog about... The Perfect Burger.
A fresh bun, brown mustard, meat, swiss cheese, avocado, and grilled onions. I don't like tomatoes and I don't like to waste room on my burger with lettuce.
That is my perfect burger.

Tucker and Sloan

The kids were at Kelly's Labor Day weekend. They all had a great time playing together.

First ice cream bar.

USS Alabama

On the way home from Florida, we stopped in Mobile at the Battleship Alabama. It was very impressive and hot. They let you tour the whole ship. Those big guns can shoot up 21 miles accurately. That's a lot of miles.

Florida

A few weeks ago we went to Florida. We took the newlywed's the rest of their stuff. We had wonderful time. Olivia liked to eat the sand and liked to drink the salt water. The beach and the water are beautiful. I'm not sure I've ever seen anything like it and we've been to quite a few beaches. It was good to see Crock and Jared. I think they will have great time living in Florida.

Tay & Summer's House

Mom decorated a room for Summer in their house. It is connected to the kitchen. I think she did an awesome job. My favorite thing is the large ottoman. She bought a big cowhide and covered the ottoman, a stool, and some chairs. Notice the back of the divider is an organizer for wrapping paper and school supplies. Love it. Just thought I would brag on mom for a bit.

A Wonderful Woman

Curtis' Grandmother passed away over the weekend. She was 88 years old and lived a long, full life. She was a very sweet, kind lady. She will be missed by many, but remebered as a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

They're Moving

Crockett and Jared are leaving today. They are moving to Florida. We just said goodbye and I'm a little bit sad. I know we will see them in two weeks, because we are taking them the rest of they're stuff. We love them and will miss them very much.
