We had a great time up in Oklahoma with Matt's family. Everyone was there except Ryan and Sarah because they just had their first baby!

Jake and Dawson spent quality time together! :) Addison's Papa Joe bought her OU pj's. We were happy they were pink and she doesn't not have to wear them out of the house.

Here are our Halloween pics. Brody was our little lion, Addison was a Baylor cheerleader and Jake was Indiana Jones. We had a great time at our church's fall festival. The kids (and Matt and I) received way too much candy....but who's complaining?

Addison and Brody had a great time celebrating their birthdays together. Here are some pictures from their party. :) Brody really enjoyed his cake. We think he had a little bit of a sugar high the rest of the day!

My baby is 1 today! I can't believe how fast this year has gone. Brody is such a delight and always has a smile for us! We celebrated with a birthday lunch at Chick-Fil-A. He was more excited about the balloon he got there than the food!

Addison had a great day celebrating her 5th birthday. She started with donuts and then opened her present...the washing machine for her rose petal cottage. She has already done a lot of laundry today :) ! She also celebrated with her preschool class with cupcakes. With the McKinney tradition, she got to pick where we ate for her birthday dinner. She thought all day about where to go, Steak and Shake, McDonald's or Chick-Fil-A. After a long process, she decided on Steak and Shake.

We are so proud of our 5 year old and we love her so much! :)

Brody says thank you!

Uncle Jeremy, Aunt Sara and Cousin Ian sent Brody this new toy for his 1st birthday. Brody loves it! He makes the greatest car noise when he pushes back and forth and of course he loves taking the people out and chewing on their heads! It's the perfect toy! Thank you!!!!!!

Addison's First Day of Preschool

Addison was so excited for the first day of preschool! She's been waiting for this day for a long time. I think (again) I was the only one that was sad!

Ready for the first day of school. Addison was having trouble saying goodbye. Who are we kidding? I was too! He was excited but I think a little nervous. It sure is a little quieter without him around! :(

Jake and Dawson ready for some laser tag!
Addison and Casady looking so sweet!

Pucker up...there are eight candles now!

Someone mentioned that Addison was not well represented on the blog....so here she is in her new outfit that her Grandma Babe got her! We've decided this might be our outfit to wear on the first day of preschool! :)

Jake went up to Oklahoma to attend Flag Football camp with his cousin Dawson. They had a great time together. I love Jake's face full of concentration and determination.

Learning to feed myself

Brody is learning how to feed himself. Sometimes he still struggles getting the food into his mouth! :)

Here's how Brody enjoyed the beach in Galveston...

Quick Summer Vaca

Ok....it's been a while since I've blogged. I'm going to try to make it a normal habit. Here are Jake and Addison at Schlitterbahn in Galveston. They actually were getting along for these few minutes! :)
