26 months



West is our naturalist.  While Lilibeth and Jack can't get enough of the swing, West is wandering around the yard exploring nature.  My safety conscious Jack likes to warn his brother... "Don't eat the mushrooms, West... you will have to go to the hospital!"  Is that even true?  I have no idea... but I sure did tell them that!

Showing Lilibeth the caterpillar

Papa making breakfast... he has quite an audience.

Afternoon at the park

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Color Run!

Jack at the Holiday Parade.  He LOVED it!  We told him he must stay on the sidewalk, so in this picture is directing the fire truck to park on the grass right beside him!  He also loved the "Rum-pa-pum-pum boys" (the high school marching bands).
Aghhh!  They are putting up the Christmas tree.  West, Lilibeth and Jack did a great job of touching the ornaments with just "one finger."  I think I said, "Just one finger" 4,293 times in the month of December :)

Jack at the German Festival.  Lilibeth went to spend the night with Fancy and Duke, so the boys had fun with their cousins at the festival... just boys!
"I don't like Santa!"   Ohhh... but you will!

25 months

Fabulous fall...

These pics on the carousel are left over from before the birthday... oops!

Look at these silly adults...
Sunday afternoon at the park
Lilibeth and Jack were still napping, so West got to ride the lawnmower all by himself with Daddy!

Such a climber!

Pumpkin Patch!

Such a grown up boy!

Daddy is SUCH a trooper!  The pumpkin patch was Houston, Texas HOT in October :(
This is our Lilibeth's true smile... she hardly ever lets me capture it on camera!  Such a beautiful girl...

Halloween... Jack is a cow...

West is a horse


And Lilibeth should have been a bunny, but she refused her hat, requested my blingy necklace and decided to go as CeeLo Green


Making the first cookies of the season.... gingerbread for Daddy!

Playing in boxes NEVER gets old

Jack puts on his Daddy's boots and says, "Goodbye!  I'm going to work." (I think most places of business require a shirt, but we'll get to that a little later.)

Vrooom!

Fun fall picnic lunch with friends

Sweet boys

West says, "This lady just can't get enough of me!"

We all love a walk around the neighborhood

Visiting Shirley and the fish
Oh my goodness!  I love these three!

Two years old!


Fall is our favorite time of year... pumpkins, birthdays, candy corn, colored leaves to scope out on cooler walks, Thanksgiving then Christmas!  Who has time to post a picture until the New Year... not this girl!  So... happy 2013 to our blogging friends.  Here is our fall 2012 photo review:
Sweet West got very sick just before his birthday

Lilibeth and Jack trying to play quietly (hahaha!) while West slept in the chair

West and Mama at TCH... not where we wanted to be, but he did love the giraffe!

That week on Friday, I took Jack and Liilbeth to the doctor.  West had been at a doctor's office or ER Monday-Thursday.  What a crazy week!

We're well and running!  My cheering team greets me after running my first ten mile "race."

Baby Major's first visit to Texas!

This is just one reason we like Uncle Mark... he loves to play!

Our first birthday celebration of the week

Try this, WB!

It's official... TWO!

P-A-R-T-Y!

Thanks for coming to celebrate!

We love Elmo and "The Street"  (West says, "Turn on 'The Street', Mama!")

The sweet birthday girl!
