Santa!

Laney's dance studio had a little holiday party and the girls got to meet Santa. Laney asked me why there was a man dressed up like Santa!

Laney's school had their holiday show yesterday. She was on the snowman team and did a great job singing Frosty the Snowman.

Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving with lots of yummy food. Laney's favorites were the sweet potatoes and the pumpkin bars. Austen sat with us and tried really hard to get her puffs from the tray into her mouth!

Austen is getting pretty good at sitting up and loves putting all of her toys in her mouth. Her bottom two teeth came in over the weekend.

Yummy (6 1/2 months old)!

Austen loves her baby food! She was really ready for this bite of pears!

Laney does an awesome job of keeping Austen entertained.

Austen's biggest smiles come when Laney is close by!

Halloween

Laney and Austen had a blast trick or treating this year! Laney was Ariel (Little Mermaid). Too bad she wouldn't let me spray paint her hair red. I tried! Austen was a champ and rode in her little red car while Kesler and Laney ran all through the neighborhood. Laney is so proud of Austen!

Kesler's Dad turned his Escalade into a space ship. They rode around in it for the first little bit but soon realized they were actually much faster by foot!

Their legs got so tired they couldn't walk another step!

All done. Tons of candy!

Leggo Land

We had to wait in line for an hour to get into Leggo Land but once we were inside, it was really fun. Here's Leggo Dirk.

Waiting and waiting to get in!

Dru says Austen was wearing a satellite dish on her head!

Inside the 4D movie!

Doing karaoke to Baby, Baby (their favorite JB song)!

Fun Weekend

Deb, Mom and the kids drove down over the holiday weekend. We had a great time! They are all growing up so fast.

Debbie got some great shots of Laney playing soccer. Here she is running onto the field after a break. So serious!

We had an awesome dance party on Saturday night. Braden 'Marky Mark' Tucker surprised us all with his moves. I'm saving the video we took for his wedding rehearsal dinner!

Chasing bubbles never gets old!

Austen at 5 Months!

Austen took her first trip to the zoo and rode in her big girl stroller. No more infant seat!

First time in the red car! She is a defensive driver like her Mom and has to constantly be on the lookout for Laney!

First cereal. Head band on.

Getting serious. Head band off!

Baby McEnroe?

Birthday Party!

Laney and her friend Kesler had a party together to celebrate the big 4! It was great to watch all of the kids in her class playing and having fun!

Laney was thrilled with the Hello Kitty and Minnie stuffed animals that Grandma and Pops got her!

Her very own Tom's shoes from Aunt Klanci!

She had a soccer game right before the birthday party! She was so excited to have an audience!

Birthday Pics!

Nana had a cake waiting for Laney when we got home from the beach. She likes singing happy birthday almost as much as she likes the icing!

Yes, Vans makes Hello Kitty shoes and they are too cute. Thanks Aunt Mary!

She loved her new leotard from the Tuckers!

Meemee got Laney this styling doll head toy. She loves putting make up on her and fixing her hair!

Trip to the Beach!

We took Laney to the beach to celebrate her 4th Birthday. We stayed in a house on Mustang Island in Port Aransas, TX. She love, loved it! We can't wait for another beach trip when Austen gets a little older.
