Parade of Lights

The Friday after Thanksgiving the city of Fort Worth has a big parade and they light the Christmas Tree. Jared and I took the kids and brought my brother David along. We had a good time. It was sooooo crowded and we had a hard time seeing but the kids still had a good time. Above Ella was licking her fingers from the wonderful cotton candy she had just consumed. Below Breil is still eating his and poor David is getting cotton candy all in his hair. He was a good sport. As he always is :)
I had the kids all sit on the curb before we left. They were mesmerized by all the people.

Thanksgiving

So this is the only picture I have of Thanksgiving. Kind of sad I know but it is what it is. I think Jared gets tired of taking pictures sometimes so it is hard to get pictures out of him. I have started bringing my camera to take my own pictures but I forgot this time. My mom showed Harlee how to do this and she did it over and over and over and over. It was hilarious!

craft fair

This past weekend was the Indianette Craft Fair and I got to work it as a vendor. My mom is the director so I usually get to go and help but dont usually get to be a vendor. The company I work for bought a booth and we marketed. As far as marketing for Cabot this was one of the best events we have done. The people were interested in the cheese and the Coop and all that goes with it. The only glitch in the fair for my mom was that Santa got sick. So, my mom being in charge and my sister being on the team they found a Santa...Jared! It was hilariious! A few people came up to my booth saying...I think they got a teenager to play Santa! Hah!! Poor Jared :( He ended up loving it though! Here are a few pictures!

4th of July

We spent the 4th at my mom's in her pool. It was the first time in awhile that most of the family was there. Becky, Frank and Lauren came from Florida. CJ, Brandon, Ryan and Brittany came from San Antonio. All the Dallas folks came too! We were missing just 3 people. My 2 brothers and my cousin Duey. It was so fun to have everyone together. It seems right now all is good in our family right now and it was a blast!

Harlee got out of the pool and got dressed and then later got back in in her diaper. Becky said she looked like Daffy Duck with her big ole swollen diaper!

Brandon spent a lot of time goofing around on the couch with Lauren and Ella!

Harlee got a yummy fudge pop that went everywhere!

Burgers Lake

The weekend of July 4th we took the kids out to Burgers Lake. We didnt get any pictures of the kids in the water because Jared did not want to take his camera out to the water but we got some of our little picnic. The lake is so much fun with water slides, boards, a trapeze and a beach. The kids had a blast! We brought my cousin Brittany and Uncle David.
