Digging the new rain boots

Happy with her sippy cup!

Hallie: 8 months

Oh my how time flies with this little one! She is still just as happy as can be! She still thinks that Chance hangs the moon! He can make her laugh just by giving her the slightest bit of attention.

She sits up great and is lunging forward wanting to go but instead lays flat on her belly and cries! n(she still despises tummy time)
Learned to clap her hands and says Yay!
Can wave bye-bye
Can say Mama, dada and bye-bye (lots of jibberish)
She can scream bloody murder whether happy or mad (this evidently is a trait I passed down:)
Chance has taken on the personal goal of teaching her how to talk and walk he says. Not sure if he knows the repercussions of these actions on his peaceful world right now.
Much much better at baby food. Her favorites are the orange veggies (mainly sweet potatoes and carrots)
Still a great sleeper during the day and night!
Has two bottom teeth
Hair is long enough for short little pigtails
Gets very excited when the dogs are around but will just pull their hair
Can drink from her sippy cup and even through a straw!
Has the cutest and most infectious little laugh!

Clapping!

We went for a little walk in the wooded area by our house that Chance loves to visit! He has no fear hiking on all the rocks and creek beds. He is his daddy's son and could spend all day every day outside!

Boerne Labor Day Parade

Ben and I took the kids to the Labor Day parade in Boerne. It was so much fun! This was the first parade for both of the kids! Chance loved the clowns, marching bands, and the fire trucks! He now wants to play march all over the house. He even says hup two three four to keep pace! We will definitely try to make parades in the future. He loaded up on all the candy being thrown. Daddy has since eaten the whole stash!

Girls Night

About a month ago we had a girls night with church at Misty's home. We had a wonderful lady come out that helped us all paint a picture. We had a great time painting and laughing. I showed Chance my picture and he tells people that is my mommy's picture that she painted! He is proud. I may need to get a canvas and let him go to town soon!

Family Vacation: Log Country Cove

We went on a family vacation to Lake LBJ this past weekend with Ben's parents and sister's family. We stayed at the most awesome place ever! It is called Log Country Cove that have individual cabins/houses right on the lake! We stayed at the Treehouse which literally looked like one! It was amazing with so many fun things to keep our family busy all day long. We arrived on Thursday evening after work once Ben picked up the boat from storage at Canyon Lake and picked me up at the office in Bulverde. We split up meals so it worked perfectly. Chance had a fantastic time following his daddy around and doing whatever he did. We had a putting green above the boat dock, fishing, washers, rope swing, a sandy beach, and tons to keep us busy on the boat. We drug Hallie along when it was not her naptime wherever we went! As you can see from the pictures she was not a fan of the boat. She never cried but had a look of disgust the entire time. Hallie's favorite was the sandy beach area! She loves to be in the water splashing and watching everyone! Chance's favorite if you ask him was the golf!! He woke each morning wanting to play golf! He is his daddy's son for sure! We got an inner tube for the boat and he rode with mommy. He will have a ball once he gets a little bigger! Ben and Chance spent the entire weekend outside which was wonderful for daddy/son bonding! Chance only really came in to take an afternoon nap! This will definitely become an annual trip for us!
