Wagon Ride

What to do on a cold and dreary day with 2 babies??? Go on an indoor wagon ride. Actually, we were testing out the new wagon. We got it over the weekend. It is much snazzier (is that a word??) than the wagons of my day. It has a storage bin that can hold up to 10 pounds, 4 cup holders and 2 seat belts. The babies seemed to like it ok and Cosmo even hitched a ride. Maybe we will take it out on the open road when the weather is better. (Truth be told...I really wanted to get it so we can take it with us the next time we go to CANTON!!)

Sunday Cleaning

Miller decided to help Daddy unload the dishwasher and help me do the laundry after church on Sunday. He is a good helper. (Don't ask about the pacifier...he has not used one since he was about 6 months old but decided he needed one yesterday?!?!?!)

Helping with the laundry.

Close up shot!!

Miller the Cowboy

Here you go Gigi. I got a few shots of Miller riding his horse!

He shoots, He scores!!

Miller got a Little Tikes Basketball set for Christmas from Santa. We finally got around to putting it together this weekend. He is pretty good at making the ball in the hoop!! Here is a video of his basketball skills!!

Look At Me Go!!

Even though I feel croupy (Mommy says to see the previous blog for details), I can still go. I am walking better and faster everyday. Take a look!! Love Miller!!

Miller and the Croup

So Miller started this horrible barking cough on Wednesday. It freaked me out a little so we went to the doctor and she said he had the Croup. I've heard people use that word before to refer to an ugly cough but I didn't know it was a real viral infection. So we have been at home dealing with coughing, runny nose and overall bad feelings for the past few days. It always amazes me that he catches things seeing as how he is no longer in daycare and around other children. I guess that is the one bad thing about not going to daycare, his immune system is not what it used to be!! Oh well, the doctor gave him a steroid shot and said he would be better soon. She did say that he could be contagious for 4-5 days...yeah!! Sorry no pictures to go along with this post...I feel kind of bad taking pictures of my son while he is miserable!!

Happy New Year

We had a wonderful 2008. I can't wait to see what is in store for our 2009. On New Year's Eve we went to the White's house to ring in the New Year. Let me rephrase that...we lasted until about 10:00. Miller enjoyed playing with Kinley, Kate, Noah, and Hope. We wish everyone a great 2009. Happy New Year! (By the way-I sort of learned how to play Nertz...although Kelly and I were really slow learners!!)

Mommy's Birthday

Mommy turned 28 on Monday. We celebrated at Uncle Julio's in Allen. We even got some sopapillas for mommy's birthday. I love sopapillas!!

Marble Falls Christmas

The day after Christmas we left Sweeny and headed to Austin/Marble Falls for the Genella Christmas. We had lots of fun seeing family. Miller had more presents waiting for him in Marble Falls. We are truly blessed.

Wow!! My own basketball set!!

Just give me some bath toys and I am happy!!

Balls are my favorite toy!!

Sweeny Christmas

We spent most of Christmas with my family in Sweeny. We had a great time visiting family and friends, eating good food, and enjoying our son on his 2nd Christmas. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful family!! Here are a few pictures from the week.

Christmas Morning

Miller and his tower of presents!!

He loved opening presents this year. Last year he slept through the excitement of Christmas morning.

Wow!! Santa brought us a lot of gifts!

Ready to go to the Christmas Eve Service at my parent's church. This is my favorite thing to do at Christmas. It reminds me of the true meaning of Christmas - JESUS.

Cousin Julia, Miller and Me

Miller with an egg nog mustache and his Grinch PJs. (Don't worry it is egg nog without "the nog" as my dad says!!)

Meghan, Olivia, Miller and Me!!

Miller is actually sharing his BALL

Miller and 2nd Cousin Olivia

Ok so this picture is random but our future football player had to try on Uncle Marsh's Sweeny Bulldog helmet while we were in Sweeny.

These 2 pictures are of my mom's UT/A&M tree. She started it when I was in college at UT but now that my brother is going to A&M she added some Aggie ornaments too. She actually keeps this tree up year round.

Hanging with Uncle Marsh. I think they were watching Charlie Brown Christmas. They both look highly invested in whatever is on the tv...it must be cartoons!!
