State Fair of Texas 2009!

We went to the fair this week on Tuesday. Yes, it was raining most of the day and so that was not the greatest, but there were hardly any people there and so that was great. We got to eat lots of food and ride some rides and so we all had a great time. The girls thought that it was really fun jumping in all the puddles and getting wet, so they were not upset about the weather at all. The best thing that we had to eat this year was definitely the fried butter which was more like a biscuit, but wow it was good. We look forward to the fair every year and this was a fun year because both the girls were able to do many things and had lots of fun. Also, my brother was working out there with the Dallas Police Dept. and so we were able to walk around with him all day because there was hardly anyone there and so no drama that he had to be worried about. It was great to get to spend the day with him since we do not get to see him all that often.

My brother was working at the fair as a police officer and so one of the people that he met in the games let Jordyn play a game and gave her a big Sonic the hedgehog doll. She was excited even though she had no idea what it was.

Jordyn's new haircut!

We went and got Jordyn's haircut finally today after her bangs being in her eyes forever. So, we also decided that it needed some trimming because it was getting a little stringy. It is so cute and will take mommy a little getting used to, but I like it.

Bella's Princess Party!

We had Bella's 4th birthday party today and it was a princess party. The girls were so excited to get to wear their princess dresses and they looked so cute in them. Hayven had a little trouble walking in her Belle dress because it was so long and she is so short, but she still had fun and did not want to take it off. Jordyn was my little Cinderella and she was so cute and her shoes were a little tight but we made it through, guess we will have to get a bigger size for Halloween though. They had a great time at the party getting to play with all the other little girls!

Aren't they cute little princesses! This was before mommy fixed their hair though, so it was still wet from the bath.

Jordyn did not want to play with the other girls and so she decided to cuddle with mommy.

Jordyn is a big girl!

We got a new couch today and Jordyn just loves it. She looks so tiny sitting on it and so we just had to take a picture of her sitting on it. Tonight, I decided that it was time for us to give her toddler bed a try and see how she would do in it. We really thought that we were going to be up all night putting her back in it over and over again. We were wrong! She cried one time and I went up there and she was not even out of the bed. So, I ask if she wanted back in her crib and she said no and so I told her to go to sleep in her big girl bed. She did and I am so proud of her. She has not been up yet and hoping that she will sleep great in her new big girl bed. So, here are a few pictures of her in her new bed sleeping so well and looking so cute and big!

Here is my cute little girl on the big couch playing mommy's game (or at least pretending).
Look at her sleeping so soundly in her big girl bed!

Isn't she so cute!

Weekend in Brownwood!

This weekend Price and his parents took the girls to the lake in Brownwood and spent the weekend in a cabin there for a family reunion. Mommy was sick and so I had to stay home, but I wanted them to go and have a great time. They did have a great time doing a little fishing on the back of the boat, jumping in a bounce house, making smores, and fishing from the dock. So, here are some of the fun pictures that they took while they were there.

Playing in the cabin, dancing around on the fireplace! Here is the view from the patio and it is very beautiful!

Hayven fishing from the back of the boat too!

The one fish that was caught by Pops and the girls checking it out.

Hayven touched it, but Jordyn did not want anything to do with it.

Daddy doing a little singing at the family reunion.

Eating some yummy smores!

Jordyn liked hers too!

Even Daddy was licking his fingers after the smores!

They could not get the fire to start and so this was their way of getting the marshmellows hot!

The smore face after eating it!

Of course, my messy girl with chocolate all over her face!

Fishing off the pier before heading home. But, apparently the girls were very impatient and did not understand why the fish were not right on their fishing poles.
