Dancing Queens

The girls have started dancing and today we took them to the library for singing and story time. They didn't know what to think the whole time we were there. While we were there, we checked out a couple of CDs of kid songs.

We put the songs on tonight and they were loving it. Lizzie was trying to roll her arms like we did at the story time. Here is the video.

Trip to Grandma and PaPa's

This weekend we went to Oklahoma to make up for not going on Halloween. We had a blast and are exhausted! We visited cousins, aunts, uncles, great-aunts, great-uncles, great-grandparents and grandparents.

Everyone was so surprised by the girls walking and talking. The girls had a blast playing with all the kids. This morning, we took the kids to McDonald's to play. The girls went up in the toy a little bit and Lizzie loved it and Gracie did not. Check out the picture.

Happy Halloween!

Up until Monday of this week, we had plans to go to Oklahoma and celebrate Halloween with my family. The girls were going to go trick-or-treating with their cousins Sydney and Sam. Those plans changed when the girls came down with the flu. They both ran high fevers and felt pretty crummy for a couple of days. By Thursday, they were back to normal; however, the doctor recommended that we not go out of town so the girls could rest. So, we'll go to OK next weekend.

We were very disappointed and so were Sydney and Sam. We did end up having a great Halloween though. Last night, we went to a great kid party and the girls had a blast! Then tonight, we went trick-or-treating with some friends of ours from church. The girls really liked it and I like all the candy we got. The girls were both kitty cats. Lizzie loved carrying the treat buckets and Gracie loved wearing the ears. We even came home and had some kids trick-or-treat at our door.

Fun with Friends

Since I'm finally feeling better after having bronchitis for the first time in my life, we decided to meet our friends at a pumpkin patch in Flower Mound. It was crazy busy and there were bees every where. The girls had fun running around and looking at the pumpkins. Wes saw the Hello Kitty cut outs so of course we had to get our picture with her.

Here are some pictures from our day.

Pumpkin Patch

We took the girls to the pumpkin patch today. With all the rain, we haven't gotten a chance to go.

Pumpkin Party!

Today, we went to our first Halloween party of the year with our twin group! We had a great time.

Big day!

What a day we had today. I took the day off of work because today is Wes and mine seventh anniversary! We celebrated today by taking the girls to the state fair. We had a great time and the girls loved the petting zoo.

When we came home from the fair, my parents were here because they are flying out tomorrow to go to New England for the fall foliage. Anyway, they took us out to dinner and then babysat while Wes and I went to a movie. It was a great night!

What topped off the night was that the girls started walking tonight! Right before we left for the movie, the girls were playing. Gracie all of a sudden decided to walk from Grandma to me and back. Then Lizzie decided she couldn't let Gracie have all the fun and attention, so she started walking too. Below is video that Wes took. That was the best anniversary present that the girls could have given us!
