The rest of 2015

I always say it, but wow is life busy.  I will update more later, but I wanted to do a quick post to finish out all our fun from 2015.

We went on the Christmas Train in Alvin, TX.

I did a photo shoot with Fiona using Christmas lights.

She licked the present.

Fiona started sleeping with her bottom up more.

We hung out with our good friends, The Pabons.  It is super hard ot get a picture of 5 kids!  Especially since Zoey was not in the mood for a picture.

Nick did a light show again this year.  It included this awesome sign he made.

And an elephant we got on clearance last year.

We have tried to embrace Texas life :)

 The neighborhood Santa party.  Zoey was sick :(

My parents got the girls a swing set for Christmas.

I found the perfect shirt for Zoey!

Sam got a kindle.

Zoey got her own tablet.

A family shot.

A mom's club Christmas party.

A cookie exchange at a fun pirate ship park.

Art in the park.

A snow fest at a local church.

Our first Christmas with 5 stockings!

A density playdate.

Gingerbread house making.

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season.  I will try to update on the beginning of 2016 soon!

Happy Halfy Birthday!

The girls and I went to Bayou Wildlife Park recently.  You ride in an open tram and see and feed wildlife.  The girls really enjoyed it and I got some neat pictures.

In front of the peacock.

On the tram.

This ram has 3 horns?!?!

Up close with the peacock.

A short pony ride.

Petting a deer.

Close to the giraffe.

Zoey feeding a camel.

A close zebra.

We hosted my parents for a lovely Thanksgiving meal.

Fiona's first Thanksgiving.

The tree went up and lights went in the yard.

We went to a charity Santa picture event.  Fiona would just not smile, but she did not cry.

We also did 2 attempts at some Christmas card photos.  I thought getting photos of 2 girls smiling and looking was hard.  Although, Zoey was in a mood on the first day and Fiona was tired the second.  And it was soooo windy.

This may be one of my all time favorites.  It did not end up on the card :)  

And my last baby turned 6 months.  How did that happen?

Here is her 6 month panda shot.





She is a very busy baby.  She gets bored easily.  Rolls over often.  Loves to jumparoo.




She had her check up and is 14 lbs 15.1 ounces (Sam was 14 lbs 15 oz, Zoey was 16) and 27 inches (Sam was 27, Zoey was 28).  Everything is great developmentally.  And she is on the verge of cutting teeth.  It has been hard to tell since she has been so prone to drool and chew on things for months.

Here is a comparison at 6 months.


Samantha and I just got back from her first reconciliation.  She was so nervous, but did so well.  She and Zoey are such sweet sisters, wanting to hold Fiona and help keep her happy.  Nick and I are so very blessed with these three amazing girls.

We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoys the rest of the Advent season.
