Reese's Halloween Dilemma

Reese can't decide what to be for Halloween: A: glow in the dark skeleton with Annaliese
B: white trash with a mullet

(that's the cutest mullet I've ever seen - can you use those two words in the same sentence)?

C: the thinker (don't hurt yourself Reese)

D: the homecoming king dressed up as a zebra at the murder mystery party (thanks Nicole B.)

She's Here!

Finally our friend Annaliese Brylee Coates has arrived - October 20th! And this is Reese drooling on her...nice.

This is what happens when you have an accident in your pants and you have already used up your spare change of clothes. Lucky for Reese his new friend Annaliese Brylee Coates (soon to be here) let him borrow a onesie.

He's still cute, although I think Ryan is having a harder time being convinced of that.

and this picture just makes me laugh...ryan and i are still trying to figure out what the banana has anything to do with.

The Best Week of Reese's Life

This week was a celebration (I guess) of Reese's fourth month of life. Everyday, we have done something really fun and exciting. Monday was the pumpkin patch, which was a big hit as you will see in the following photos. Tuesday was Whirly Ball day, for those of you who don't know what that is, I will have a few pictures in two weeks of what that is. But for those of you who do know, you understand how much fun we must have had. It's a long story but somehow Reese (and when i say Reese, I really mean my mom and me) got to be a fill in for one of the guys at the men's whirly ball night. Wednesday was the State Fair of Texas, Thursday was Ladies Western night bunco (and Beth's house of course to play with our little friend Zoe) and of course Friday was Reese's actually 4 month day. Please enjoy as much as we have!

Too much fun in the pumpkin house.

This should be a calendar, well at least that's what I think anyway.

This is Reese's 4 month picture...happy birth-day buddy!

Reese's first Texas State Fair on Wednesday with our favorite George and Mindy.

So far, so good, and we haven't even made it to the food yet!

Two of our favorite things - fried twisted potatoes and fried bacon; can it get any better!?

Enjoying fried butter (that's what I said...fried butter) with Mindy.

Posing with Borris The III...don't ask!

Eating funnel cake at the state fair.

Rolling the dice with Gmom at "Western Night" Bunco on Thursday

Reese: looking too cool in his glasses (if i do say so myself, i am his mother afterall).

Mindy's nursery for Annaliese Brylee Coates...any day now!

Arizona Activities

Here are a few of the things that occupied our time on vacation: The cousins watching a movie together.

Reese's first time in a pool!

(He wasn't quite sure about all that, but very slowly, he got used to the water.

What is there to say.

Emet's too cute.

Swimming of course, we are, afterall in Arizona.
Playing with Evi.

Reese was happy to be the only boy at Janet's all girl baby shower.

This is "Batmo" or "Elman" depending on how you look at it (a nice combination though of batman's cape and elmo's underwear), and Zoe is just being Zoe.

Reese's first trip to In-N-Out Burger. Yummmmmm!

Sweetest Nieces

So my nephew and nieces came to pick us up at the airport in Arizona; and they were so sweet to bring Blanch and Carla with them! (Thanks Evi)

Evi and Zoe did a great job of entertaining Reese.

Rees'e First Airplane Trip

We tried to check him, but they wouldn't let us.

He did great on the plane and earned his wings.
