H-town

The girls and I made a trip to Houston last week to visit my family. Reagan had a ball playing with Payton and Reese loved watching the bigger girls. It was precious. Our daily afternoon routine was to play out in the water. My mom got a little pool and slip n slide for them. Check out the fun!

Looking after her sister

Isn't Aunt DeeDee the coolest??

Reese got lots of attention and lovin'! Most hadn't seen her since she was 2 months old, so they had lots to catch up on.

Mean Old Wasps

While the girls and I were gone this past week, Jason got stung by a wasp. He was trimming a bush under a hive while jamming to his ipod when he heard a really loud buzzing and felt a sharp pain in his ear. It stung him in his ear! Isn't that crazy?!?

Guess which ear it got?

It was so red and puffy - poor guy!

It was even red down his neck
But, it's pretty much back to normal now.

Now after seeing all of his hair in the previous pics - check out his new do!
What a hottie!!

An enormous thanks to our good friends who made this project possible. The Goldings - Graeme (3 days of work) & Wendy (2 days) - you are troopers! And, Clay & Wayne - you're great haulers!! Thanks for all the hard work!!

Milestones

I can hardly believe it, but Reese was 6 months old this week. I know that everyone says it, but time really does fly by so fast!! She's really starting to grow up. In just the past few weeks, we've had several firsts.

First Solid Food - Trying Rice Cereal

I like it!

First Full Night of Sleep (In her crib & not her carrier)

First Rolls - She rolled from back to tummy for the first time on Wednesday, then she did tummy to back for the first time this morning!
