Fun Week and My Baby is 3 Months Old! 7-23-07

Even though it's been exhausting, it has been a great week!

It started last Saturday morning with pictures at Nana and Pop's house with all of Nyle's family - that is 9 adults and 8 kids (8 and under). My sister-in-law from California was here for several weeks with her husband and three terrific boys. The photo session went pretty well and the pictures turned out great. But the best part was to have everyone together again (it only happens once a year, at most). After posing for a million pictures, we went swimming with the kids.

Last Saturday we also celebrated MeMe's birthday. Of course Sweet Pea had a blast with MeMe and Pappy. And we even got a picture of MeMe with an Aggie hat on, giving the Gig 'Em sign! I'll try to post that one! I should send it out with my Christmas cards, huh? :-)

Then, during the week we got to hang out with the cousins a few times - Sweet Pea and J went to 'nastics together(so fun), all of the boys and Sweet Pea went to Chuck E Cheese one night and ALL of the cousins, even Bubba Bear, went to the Waterpark on Friday. We had to say good-bye to the California cousins on Saturday:-(. I never realized how much I missed out on by not growing up around my cousins. I am so glad Sweet Pea and Bubba Bear will grow up around some of their cousins and I wish ALL of them lived close. The three California boys are sooo amazing - it's been so fun to watch them grow up from visit to visit. This latest visit made for some good pictures and great memories.

And Bubba Bear is officially three months old today! He is getting his bottom two front teeth, but other than that he is very happy. I can't get over how much he smiles, laughs and talks.

Oh, I forgot, Sweet Pea just finished her 2 week swim lessons class.

I'll post pics of all of the adventures, soon.

Addicted to MySpace 7-18-07

I was looking for an old friend a couple of weeks ago and could only find her through MySpace. In order to send her a message, I had to create an "account". Well, that was two weeks ago and I have to admit I am now addicted. I have actually been in contact with 3 old friends from Middle School. So fun! I decided to post the slide show I made for it to this blog. It's just pictures of the kiddos, but I thought it was neat.

Bubba Bear is screaming, so I must go tend to him. He must be mad about something!

Leftwich Family Reunion 7-11-07

This past weekend was the annual Leftwich Family Reunion in Hughes Springs, Texas. Sweet Pea got to play with a lot of her cousins (there are 15 in her generation and 12 of them were at the reunion), aunts, uncles, grandparents and great-grandparents. Bubba Bear also made his Leftwich Reunion debut. I have some great pictures of him with his great-grandfather and great-grandmother - priceless. We also have a picture of 4 generations of Leftwich men. (all of the pictures are in the "Fun Pictures" album)

New Pictures and 4th of July

I finally picked up BB's 2 month pictures - And I must say he is very handsome. It's crazy how fast he has grown. He looks completely different than he did in his 3 week pictures. I'll post both so you can see how he's changed. He is still waking up 2-3 times every night to eat, but I can't complain because he is healthy and happy. What a blessing he has been to our family. Sweet Pea is still IN LOVE with him. Now she is saying, "I love my brother soooo much". If you can just imagine her little chipmunk voice - it's so sweet.

July 4th
For the 4th, we went to Nana and Poppy's and spent the day with ALL of the cousins! It was so much fun. The kids swam, played with fireworks and ran around all day. I was so proud of SP for holding Sparklers and asking for more even before the last one was done. It is so great to see SP and BB with their cousins (and aunts, uncles and grandparents). They all have such great (and very different) personalities and they have so much fun together. I love that SP and BB will get to see them so often as they grow up. I know they will add so much to thier lives. Of course it's always fun for me to get to hang out with the in-laws, too.

And most importantly, we celebrated our independence. What a wonderful country we live in. And especially in a time of war, it's important to be thankful for the men and women who have fought and those who continue to fight for our freedom! God Bless them and God Bless America.

Fun With Cousins

We spent the weekend in Ft Worth with Uncle E, Aunt Kiki and DD and AG. We enjoyed the visit and Sweet Pea had a great time with her cousins (Bubba Bear did too, he smiles at his cousins when they talk to him!). She was exhausted when we got home today! And I really enjoyed hanging out with my sister-in-law. I don't know what I would do without her! She's such a great friend and I've enjoyed getting to know her over the years. I can't wait to continue to share our lives together.

I have attached videos of SP and DD spinning and AG beginning to walk!
