September 2016

This month was a fun month.  Evie and Mavery sporting their side braids to school.

We girls took a trip to Waco to visit MawMaw and PawPaw, Aunt Sandy and Uncle Ron.  

PawPaw helping the girls color on their chalkboards.

Olivia and PawPaw getting ready for the fish fry.  

I managed to get no pictures of the women, but we got to see Aunt Debbie and Uncle Nick.  Uncle Ron fixed us up a fabulous fish fry and the girls helped feed all the animals.

 Beautiful sunrise.

Working on some legos.

Two Year Old temper-tantrum.  

She's a pro at these.

We got some rain in September.  

Can't tell we live in the desert from this picture.

We got to tour one of the Odessa ambulances in September.  Thankfully, it was not for an emergency ride to the hospital.  We delivered lunch from the church to the first responders in honor of 9-11 and they were so kind to let us tour the firehouse and the vehicles.  The girls were having fun, but our tour was abruptly ended when the firemen were called out! 

Ice Skating at the mall.

Jump! Jump! Jump! at the gymnastics place.

More jumping!

Mavery singing on stage for Sunday School.

September was fun.  So glad that nobody turned 39 this month.  Oh, wait... Mommy did! 

That's why Olivia was crying!

August was a fun end to summer vacation.  We took a trip to Houston to see Grandma Susie and Pops.

We went to the jump-jump place where Mavery enjoyed mastering the obstacle courses

While in Houston, we got to be a part of Mrs. Kelly's wedding.  It was a beautiful event and the girls loved being flower girls.
