We have a Swimmer...

Sutton has LOVED the water this summer. Her lessons have really paid off and she gets more brave each weekend! Here she is jumping off the wall for the first time. We did this little exercise about 65 times! She was lovin' it!

Party on the Third Coast...

This past week, we took a little trip down to Port Aransas. My dad, Patrick, and Adam were fishing in a tournament over the weekend so we thought we would make a little trip down with the kiddos and stay a few extra days. Boy are we glad we did! The kids had SO much fun. This was the first time for Sutton to be on the beach and I am happy to report that she was a huge fan! Looks like we will be making many more family memories at the beach. Here is a video of some of our pictures from the trip!

A Must...

Patrick has been talking about getting pictures of Sutton in the bluebonnets for awhile now.  He wanted a picture of her surrounded by bluebonnets in a white dress.  (pretty sweet, huh!?!)  Since we were driving down to San Antonio for Easter, we thought we could take the back way home (take 281) and get some pictures of her on the side of the road. 

Well, enter CiCi and Janet (one of my mom's sweetest friends). 

Sutton had stayed with my parents (really just CiCi since ironically, Oso ended up in Dallas for work unexpectedly) for the week leading up to Easter and had lots of fun.  When we got to San Antonio Friday night, CiCi had a wonderful surprise for us! 

430 pictures of our precious little Sutton having a tea party in the bluebonnets.  Our hearts were so happy!  

Thank you CiCi and Janet for such a wonderful gift and surprise.  You did such a wonderful job capturing her in these pictures.  We will cherish them forever. 

XOXO!

BTW...Yall should partner up together and become the professional CiCi&Honey photographers of San Antonio!  You would have a long line of clients lined up to get on your calendar.  :)

The latest obsession!

HORSES!!! Sutton is obsessed with horses and demands the horse channel on TV every night. Who knew that existed?!? She gets her riding horse that Grandma and Grandpa gave her and she rides along with the race.
It's pretty comical bc she gets so into it!

XOXO!!

Tuesday Nights

This is where you will find us every Tuesday night....






Sutton started swim class and loves it. She is a little water baby. Patrick and I rotate each week to get in the water with her. We have a few tricks to still work at (floating on back and allowing ears to go under water) but she has mastered a lot, thus far.

Tuesday nights are fun nights we always look forward to!

Xoxo!

Wanted: Cutest Cowgirl in Town...

This past weekend, Oso was in town for work and stayed through the weekend.  On Saturday, we loaded up and headed to Ft. Worth for the Stock Show and Rodeo.  Of course, Oso wanted little Sass to have a pair of boots so we stopped at Sheplers on our way so he could get her a pair.  Sutton is currently obsessed with shoes so she loved them and ran all over the store in them.

  

SO, it's safe to say Sutton has a little country in her.  She was a little nervous the real cowgirls would catch on to her being a "city cowgirl."  So, what does she do - she headed straight for the horse/cow droppings to break her new boots in and dirty them up a little.  Oh, lovely!  You gotta be the real deal out there, Mom.  Needless to say, she LOVED running walking through the barns and checking out all the live stock. 

Oh, and dad...this girl wants a pony!

and a petting zoo to go along with her pony.



Looks like we need to move to the country.

Up Next: San Antonio Rodeo!  Can't wait!

XOXO.

it was a very MERRY Christmas

we are a little late.  we will be better.  promise.

xoxo!

Ho Ho Nooooo!

Maybe next year!

We're still here...

This past week, poor Sutton has been home sick. She had a virus which caused high fevers and sores in the back of her throat. Sadly, she couldn't kick the virus with Tylenol and sleep, so we had to make a second trip back to the doctor. We then discovered that she had a double ear infection working into the picture. Ughh! We got her on some serious antibiotics, which helped nurse her back to health! Here are a few pics of little bear over the last week.

First day of being sick. Poor, little thing.

Life is good when you are able to watch as much Yo Gabba Gabba as possible and eat whatever you want, where ever you want!

Yummmm! Apparently, three of these can cure any throat.

And finally, our little girl is back to her sweet, fun little self. It made us so thankful and happy to hear her laugh and giggle again!

Xoxo!

15 Months and 10 for Tuesday

It's hard to believe that we have hit the 15 month mark!  I have to admit... this has been our favorite age, so far.  Everything she does is, well, CUTE!!  She laughs, sings, plays hard, uses her imagination and loves to explore. She makes us laugh  ALL. THE. TIME.

15 Month Stats:
27 lbs - 95%
32 inches long - 95%

A few things:
*Talking...sutton has always been more physical than verbal, but she is jabbering up a storm. she is still a girl of little words but has full conversations with you in jiberish. i was folding clothes the other day and she walked into the laundry room, sat down, and just started rambling. i couldn't help but laugh. when she does throw out a few words, they are: mamma, da da, up, duck, pup pup (her favorite), milk, and ball.

*Personality...she loves to be the center of attention.  she loves for you to clap and laugh at her.  She loves music and loves to sing.  her favorite is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.  she sings it quietly with hand motions and makes sure that everyone is doing it with her.

*Comprehension...it amazes me how much she understands! *we ask her if she wants milk, she walks to the refridgerator. *we say, "let's go bye-bye," she heads to the front door. *when we say it's time to get a bath - she heads straight for the stairs. *when it's night, night time, she gets her blanket, her sippy and off to the stairs she goes.

*Miss athletic!...she is quite a physical child. she can climb anything, kick or throw a ball, and she runs pretty darn fast. she loves to be outside.  daddy is already predicting a soccer scholarship to OSU.

All and all, life is good and this little girl has captured our hearts forever! 

Pumpkins, Ghost, and Sutton, oh My.

Happy (belated) Halloween!  We visited the pumpkin patch and were able to trick or treat to a few houses for candy this year.  We had a great time and Sutton loved staying up late to watch all the big kids.  Here are a few pictures from our pumpkin visit and Halloween night!  

Action shots only, mom

We hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween!  XOXO.
