Curlers

Oh boy... now we have to have them in her hair before bed so she is all glammed up for church!! :)
 

Sibling Love and Pizza

One day, I took the kids to Mazzio's for an early dinner.  Alyssa insisted on sitting with Andrew.  After awhile, she insisted on sitting on his lap!! This is the only way she would eat... thankfully, her sweet brother obliged! :)
 



 
BeSt KiDs EVER! :)

Curler Diva

Oh boy... we started something!!! I told Alyssa that we were going to run some errands and our diva told me she needed curlers! :) Such a princess! :)
 


Wrestling

My three silly, silly family members love to wrestle!
 

Alyssa in particular likes to get on top of the heap!!!! :)
 


Hunting and More

One Sunday after church, David and Andrew wanted to go Dove Hunting so we rode out there with them and then Alyssa and I headed home for some girl time.  LoVe, LoVe, LOVE these kids!!!
 
 

Swingset Time

One day before the rains came, it was perfect for time on the swingset!!  Our friend, Jennah,  from across the street was over and the 3 of them had a blast! :)
 
 
Alyssa LOVED looking up at the trees :)

Going Shopping with Munner and Mommy!

While Munner was in town, we took Alyssa for a morning of shopping.  Our diva had to have her purse, sunglasses and her "phone" :)

The Artist and The Princess

While David was on his first business trip, Munner came to stay with us.  We had fun times playing "artist"
 
 
And Princess, of course!

Uncle Jack's Memorial Service 9-22-2012

 
On 9-22-2012, we attended the memorial service for Uncle Jack Cooley.  Uncle Jack was a huge Cowboys fan, so Aunt Nita requested we all don Cowboys attire.

Hospital Stay #2 in 2012

On September 11, almost 1 1/2 weeks after Alyssa had been sick with stomach issues, they admitted her to the hospital in Temple.  We thought it was her c-diff again and they prepared us for a lot of procedures and possibilities.  Although we were much more prepared than we were for her hospital stay in April, it was still a scary process.
 

We had a few rough days but things began to turn around.  The doctors also determined it was Salmonella this time rather than C-diff... PHEW! We decided it was looking bad when the head of Pedi GI comes in and says, "It's ONLY Salmonella!"
 




On day 3, Alyssa got her IV disconnected...this was great news!
 

Feeling better!
 


She was feeling much better her last day!  So much, she had lots of fun playing with the latex gloves!
 




 
We were so happy to get home the evening of the 14th!  We had missed Andrew terribly although he had been in the great care of our good friend, Debbie Miner, for a few days before David was able to get home with him the last night Alyssa was in the hospital.  It was sooooo good to have us all together again!

Andrew's First Day of Kindergarten

 
Oh how I was not ready for this day!!! Our baby boy started kindergarten on August 29th at Woodway Elementary School.  We had to take the obligatory before school pictures...

What first day of school would be complete without a "tatt"

Such a big boy!

Mrs. Keen and Andrew.  Mrs. Keen was also the mother of a boy on our soccer team last fall, so it was good to see a familiar face!
