Marching Band Headed to State

As many of you know, Tristan has been attending band practices and working hard since the beginning of the summer. Well, all of that hard work paid off and the Dickinson High School band is now heading to the state UIL marching contest on Tuesday, November 6 at the Alamodome in San Antonio!

Way to go Tristan! We are very proud of you.

Happy Halloween!

On Sunday we took Evie to the pumpkin patch. I wanted to get some cute pictures of her in her costume but she just wouldn't cooperate. She hated the hay! She ended up sort of posing for some with Daddy and Bubba. 

Tonight, she was all over the place. So much excitement! 

Posing with LaLa before going trick-or-treating.

I couldn't get her to stand still for pictures...

Evie had the most fun opening the door to trick-or-treaters. I swear, that was the highlight of her night.

Helping Gram B hand out candy.

At one point, Evie nabbed a Tootsie Roll and hid in the hallway with it. I caught her chewing on it, wrapper and all. Yum!

Enjoying the fruits of her hard-earned trick-or-treating.

Happy Halloween!

10 Months!

Our sweet little girl is 10 months old. How time flies!

Close, but no smile.

 She is growing like a weed and already wearing 12 month size clothes.

She's adding to her vocabulary all of the time. In addition to Mama, Dada and Lala (Scarlette), she is saying nana (banana) and can identify it by sight. She is very good at repeating sounds and surprised me the other day by saying Rhett (our dog). 

Evie likes to feed herself and her favorite food is "nanas". She likes a wide variety of foods and rarely turns anything down. She particularly enjoys morsels of big people food. Yesterday at lunch Daddy gave her a bite of rib and she clapped her hands. My baby is definitely a carnivore!

Evie has 3 teeth now and 3 more are coming in. Poor kiddo. She's been in a relatively good humor considering.

She is finally officially crawling on her hands and knees. No more army man crawl for this little mover!

She is pulling up and cruising along furniture like a pro. She also is beginning to push her doll stroller along. She'll be walking in no time!

 Evie is such a joy and we can't imagine life without her. 

We are expecting a big crowd this weekend for LaLa's graduation so be watching for a post soon.

Success!!!!!

My Cutie Patootie!

I just had to share this adorable series of photos taken on Mother's Day.

And something I found on Pinterest. I thought it was neat.
