Caution: Toddlers With Hoses

Not one hose. Two. Not a good idea to be in the vicinity when hoping to stay dry.

So the rest of the time they spent drinking the water.

We love beautiful Friday afternoons like this!

A Picture Perfect Family

Wednesday evening was a big day for Kiss & Cookie. They had a photoshoot at the Rose Emporium & wanted to look their best. What would have been even better was if Cookie had decided to take a nap that day! He needed a little while to get in the swing of things (hence him being MIA at the beginning).

Love love love these pictures. I'm sure the photographer got even better ones. Kiss & her candy--she's going to turn into a gummie one day...!

"Singing"

Cookie did NOT like the idea of being put in a tree. Can you blame him? Haha. Kiss, on the other hand, was just scared at seeing her mommy up there so high!

Vogue model in the making? These kids are seriously gorgeous.

Nanny 1 & Nanny 2!

Work it, Miss B!

These are just a few of many amazing pictures from that day (with of course the help of goldfish and lollipops). I can't wait to see how they all turned out! I did't get a chance to take any pictures of them in the bluebonnets but they were awesome!

The Toddler Mecca

I think if Kiss & Cookie could go on their dream vacation, this is what it might look like.

Family Fun

What a hectic/fun/sleepless weekend it has been! My brother Adam came to town from Dallas with his new baby boxer, Banks. He is the sweetest 3 month old puppy and I get to watch him for a whole week while Adam goes to Arizona for work. It is going to be an interesting week with school, work, and running after this little guy all day. Cooper has definitley been keeping him entertained during his vacation with Aunt Allison. My dad came to visit on Friday night and took me, Adam, and my sister Adrienne out to dinner at one of our favorite places, Koppe Bridge. It is always nice catching up. It's hard sometimes when everyone now lives in different cities and has different things going on. Time sure goes by fast!

They are best friends already.
Saturday morning everyone was up nice and early. Oh the joys of having a puppy and potty training. My mom came for her visit that morning and we made a quick trip to PetsMart for some goodies. Then, it was off to lunch with everyone and I had my first Mojito at Boston's. Yum!

Next stop: Dog park. Banks was a little overwhelmed at first but had a great time. Of course Cooper was causing trouble with all the big dogs and running around like a wild man.

Last trip of the weekend: Ring dunk with Miss B. For those who don't know what a "ring dunk" is here in College Station, it is a big deal and a long lived tradition! Hoping to get mine soon!

Tomorrow is Monday. Instead of dreading it...I will say: Bring It On! It's gonna be a looong week though to say the least. I already taught Banks how to sit though. Just call me "The Dog Whisperer" Hope Kiss & Cookie have missed me terribly becuase I sure do miss them!

"The World Always Looks Brighter From Behind A Smile."

Lots of terrorizing (I mean loving) Mr. Coopie.

"Maybe they won't notice me if I stay still."
So Cool.
Right after he pulled Miss A's hair & then of course made it all better by saying, "niiiiiice."
Cookie actually pushed Miss A in this thing!

This turned out to be a bad idea.

New big-kid beds in the near future? I hope so! Nap time has been crazy this week! One thing that made me smile today: Cookie said "Thank you!" when I gave him his snack. Just melts my heart :)

It's Parents Weekend here for the students at A&M so I will be entertaining my brother, mom, & dad in the meantime. Have a great weekend!

The Best Day Of The Week

Friday. You know what that means! Fun Day! Kindermusik then lunch with Miss Brittany & Miss A. We grabbed lunch at one of our favorite places: Must Be Heaven. Kiss & Cookie love the grilled cheese and pickle (of course the chips too). I must say, they are always on their best behavior when out with their two favorite nannies :)

Giving Miss Brittany some lovin'

These kids are too cute for words!!
