Little Cowboy

Both Sean and I had today off from work, so we decided to go check out the Fort Worth Stock Show.  Seriously, have you ever seen a cuter cowboy????  I'm partial, I know... :)   We even had a gentleman ask if he could take a picture of him to send to his wife.  Ha! 

He got to pet some of the cows.  These girls were all very nice to us.  I was actually a little surprised he got right on in there.  Typically he is more cautious than that.  He must just love animals!   

Fun day!  We will definitely be back next year!

Chicken Feet

I am wearing "winter socks" these days.  Dex wanted a pair on this afternoon :) 

On a side note, Dex is starting to grasp the concept of looking at the camera and saying "CHEESE!"  *see the first picture.  Yaaaaaaay!

Go AGGIES!!!

Haha!  I thought it would be funny to put Dex in his A&M onesie from a year ago.  Turns out... it was!!! 

Think he might hate me for these pictures in a few years??! 

(his mouth is banged up from falling and cutting his chin/lip, and he's been sick so his runny nose and subsequent wiping have caused a little rawness.  Poor baby.  I'm putting stuff on it :) )

Birthday Pictures

Finally getting up some of Dex's birthday pictures!  I mean, my gosh, it happened LAST YEAR!

He is a total bubble boy.  Loves them.  I am seriously considering getting a bubble machine just to help the adults out!

Emi made his cake.  It was perfect :)

I still can't believe he's two years old!

He had stickers that he put on everyone there.

Our little family shot.  Dex looks like he's over it :)

When you ask Dex "How old are you?"  He says 'two' and puts up his two pointer fingers.  So cute :)

Daddy and Dex playing on the old rocking horse that Pop made years ago...

Tasting the icing...mmmm... (notice the basketball sticker on tia's chest.  ha!)

The first thing he did when he opened his tee-ball set was say 'ball' and go straight for the baseball!

Dex's NEW rocking horse!  It even neighs and flips his tail and turns his head!  So cool :) 

ROSE BOWL!!! TCU vs Wisconsin

I don't have much to say, except... Happy New Year and GO FROGS!!!

*a big thank you to Daddy Doug and Mimi for this awesome track suit! 

Christmas!! (part II)

Here is how our Christmas began...

I'll just say that Sean has spent about 4 weekends at his deer lease in the last two months, and we're at my parents home for less than 24 hours and he shoots this 8 point. Across the street. Uh-huh.

Then it was on to some home-made cinnamon rolls and cream cheese braids... (it's not hard to gain 5 pounds in a weekend at my parents)

We read the Christmas story before we opened presents.  Dex was a huge help.

And as we say every year... "I thought we were cutting back this year!"  Hmmm... doesn't look like it!  (and don't you love my parents Charlie Brown Christmas Tree!!)

Dex got a big boy potty for Christmas this year.  I must admit, I'M SCARED!

Dex has been needing a stepping stool to get to the sink for a while, and so Pop made and Emi painted this nifty little stepper.  Now I don't have to hold him up to the sink so he can "wash" his toothbrush off.  (wash = hold toothbrush under the faucet, stick it in his mouth and suck the water out, then repeat.  Again and again and again)

He also has on his new shoes in these pictures :)  He is definitely a shoe boy, just like his daddy!

Giving Tia some lovin' :)

Singing the Choo-Choo, Choo-Choo Train song!

Showing off his new winter hat.

What a wonderful Christmas Day!!

I just love this picture!  hehe!  Pop found the mistletoe!

Our annual family picture!
