Happy Birthday, Serena!

I have always enjoyed celebrating my birthday with a bakery cake and this year was no different. James came home with take-out and a cake. So I enjoyed a nice evening of not cooking, birthday cake and watching the Biggest Loser.
After 3 birthday parties of his own, he has this eating cake stuff figured out! :)

Llama Llama Red Pajama

Everynight Chandler always has stories read to him, tonight was no different EXCEPT the books were out of order! James started with Goodnight Moon. James was only able to read 3 or 4 pages until Chandler slapped the book down. He climbed out of James' lap, picked up Llama Llama Red Pajama, climbed back in James' lap and listened while the story was read, not once but twice, to him! James and I got a good laugh and yes we read this story everynight. Thanks Grammy! :) Our BABY is growing up!!

Thankfully the limb fell infront of the house, not on the house!

New Year, New Home

James' mom & step-dad moved to Red Oak from Colorado in June and since have been looking for a place to call HOME. Well, they finally found it, a nice size lot in Waxahachie to build their HOME. We are so excited for them and to watch and learn all the "in's & out's" of building a home.

Christmas in Red Oak

Here's what Santa left Chandler, a lil' quad and his very own KUBOTA tractor!
Push it from the front and push it from the rear that's the only way to make this tractor go!
He is still too little to make his KUBOTA go, but he enjoys pushing it back and forth into things.
He wasn't quite sure of his lil' quad at first. However, once he figured out that the red button made him go it wasn't long till he was driving himself into all the walls and furniture.

Christmas in West Texas

Christmas with the McCook's, Bowden's and Moir's **Alyssa, I don't know how I managed to do this, I got home with NO pictures of the kids together (other than the group shot and that doesn't count)! Guess, that means Chandler and I will be headed to OK soon :)**
My first and SUCCESSFUL attempt at Monkey Bread...it was DELICIOUS!
Chandler got a inch worm from his Grammy and Poppa
