The Poomba Pa
We took Reese to the "Poomba Pa" on Friday night. If you notice, he is wearing his new "boos". We've had drama with the boots, but finally found a pair that fit and ever since, he wants to wear them EVERYWHERE. He's pretty cute - I'm not biased. Here is a sampling of our pictures - I took over 60 in the span of about 30 mintues!

State Fair Goodness
Last weekend we packed up and headed to the State Fair in Dallas. It was a lot of fun. We got to spend some good time with my dear, sweet friend Rachel and just have some fun. Enjoy the pictures!
His one and only ride - the little munchkin
This CornDog is the SHIG!
OH NO IT"S NOT!

Too much.....
I haven't printed off pictures since Reese's first birthday. We are headed out to the State Fair tomorrow and so I needed to clean out my camera since the memory stick is full! So.......495 pictures later, here is the latest of what we've been doing. These pictures are from the balloon festival and from when Yasmine and Rheauna came over to play this week....
Oh gosh....
Reese really likes to get in the drawer I keep my tampons in. He loves to open the drawer, pull out the box, set it on the ground and remove all the tampons, but them back in and then put the box back where it goes and shut the drawer. He then usually claps twice for himself. Such a smart kid!Well, this morning as I am showering, I look down and the shower is filling up with old toilet water. I freak! We call the plumber, he comes over and shows Garrett the culprit of my little problem.....a fully wrapped tampon that my son flushed!
The tampon game is over - they have now been moved to the top shelf that I can barely reach.
I will say, I am honestly surprised that is took 19 months for him to put something in the toilet other than his hands!

Tag! I'm it!
My friend, Kelly, over at the Thompson Tales tagged me! In this tag, I'm telling you all about my husband's favorite things!
I'd have to say his #1 Favorite thing is me and Reese. Garrett takes so much pride in being a dad and husband. He does his job so well - and then comes home to do an even harder and more challenging job - and he does AMAZINGLY at it! We couldn't be more blessed to have him as our daddy and husband!
Texas Longhorns ANYTHING! And I do mean anything! He loves all things UT and while I can't understand why, I love a man with passion. However, I am thankful to the promise he made to my dad on both our wedding days to make sure our children know my dad's love for all things TEXAS TECH!
Pappadeaux Seafood - my boy can eat! He loves Pappadeax most. He first introduced me to Pappadeax's on one of our many weekend trip to Dallas before Reese. And I've got to say - I'm a fan!
Golf - My sweet hubby loves golf so much. Bless his little heart, having Reese really changed that for him. Now, he would rather spend his weekend with us, and while I am thankful for those moments with him, I still want him to do what he loves. He says he's saving up his golfing days until Reeser can join him.
His brother Taylor - Garrett and Taylor share a very special bond. Garrett is almost 9 years older than Taylor and so Garrett has always been more of a friend than a brother to Taylor. Funny thing, I met Garrett because of Taylor - Taylor was in my first ever class of 8th graders back in Midland. I've enjoyed, as I know Garrett has, watching Taylor grow into a fine young man. It's hard to believe that it's been 7 years since we took this picture - (I know, we all look 15!) Taylor is now in his 2nd year at UT and has had rough start. He has really relyed on Garrett to help him through some tough stuff and I'm so proud of the way Garrett has been a friend from afar. I know there have been times Taylor has thought I have taken Garrett away from him, but this guy means more to the both of us than he will ever know! (And yes, Garrett is wearing a Tech shirt!)

Ten Things Thursday
In Honor of Kelly, here is my list!
I've got a lot going on and coming up, so here is my list of "10 Things I am Most Excited For!"
1. The State Fair. We are going next weekend to stay with my friend Rachel, meet up with Garrett's brother, Taylor and his girlfriend, Sarah, eat a ridiculous amount of fried food and watch Reese giggle with glee.
2. Time with Rachel. When I get to spend time with Rachel, it's like we get to talk those deep talks about life. Those talks that are the core of who you are, what you believe. I love how we can challenge each other through our differences. That and there is lots of silliness involved.
3. The Holidays. Let's face it. We are 7 weeks from Thanksgiving, which means we are like 11 from Christmas. That means 2 weeks off of work. And what couldn't be better than that?
4. A tattoo. Well, this one is a maybe. I've been saying I want one for awhile now, but I can't quite think of how I am going to sit in that chair with a needle poking ink into my skin. I've got the design all picked out - my dad's initials inbetween 2 angels' wings - it's the needle part that worries me.
5. All my TV shows. I'll just name 'em. Lipstick Jungle, 90210 The New Class, Project Runway (even though it's coming to an end), Dirty Sexy Money, The Hills (yes, I watch it), and of course all the Holiday specials that will soon be upon us.
6. Halloween. That's because I'm going to have the cutest cowboy in town!
7. My boys and weekends with them. It's the highlight of my week. They are just so fun.
8. Jenny Fort. Jenny and I made a connection on her first trip to a YL Club at Frenship back in 1999. She came with Brad Rotan who I was pretty good "buddies" with. Her and I clicked instantly. We became best buds. Jenny ended up moving to Hearne Texas to finish high school. We briefly kept in touch and then found each other again through the wonders of Facebook. Well, we have been in contact ever since and in 3 short weeks, I will get to watch my closest YL'er marry her best friend. It is a reunion 9, yes people, NINE years in the making! Jen, I can't wait to hug your face!
9. Adoptions. So many of our friends are bringing home babies through the miracle of adoption. What an amazing story. One we know so well.
10. Pictures. I haven't had any developed since Reese turned 1. The whole adoption agency and 2 month updates helped me develop them before, but now we have to update only once a year. It is so hard to make myself print them off. Oh well......
So now, go.......make your own list!
