A Friend's Birthday Barnyard Bash...

A dear friend of ours recently celebrated her 2nd birthday with a backyard, barnyard bash and another dear friend of ours (who also happens to be a very skilled photographer with her own business) was kind enough to take some pictures, which I just received today.   I thought you guys might enjoy them :)  It was a totally fun party!!!

Mr. Handsome who declined the complimentary bandana, but had a great time, nonetheless...

Our accessory queen who refused to take OFF the complimentary bandana and also had a great time!

Family Treat Night 2013

This year for Family Treat Night at Baylor, we brought along Sam I Am and his signature Green Eggs and Ham for some fun meeting the Baylor students and seeing their dorms.  The kids' costumes went over well, though I would have liked to tweak LittleBear's a bit more.  Still, they were happy with them, which is the main thing.

As always, both kids really enjoyed it and LittleBear came away with WAY too much candy, which we are still deciding exactly how to handle that part of it, but it was tons of fun and there is already talk of going again next year (Someone wants to be Buzz Lightyear...we'll see).

 Hydration is important, especially as a fleece ham and a furry Sam with a turtleneck!

LittleBear and LadyBear Meet A Trash Truck!!

The City of Waco recently had several open houses where people could come and meet a real garbage truck (a newish, cleanish one) and talk to the drivers, as well as trade in any smaller recycling carts you have for bigger ones.  We already have the biggest cans we can have, but I knew the kids would enjoy seeing a garbage truck up close because every time one drives by, they flock to the window.

LittleBear was VERY excited to get to sit in the driver's seat.  Incidentally, he also honked the horn, which was INCREDIBLY loud (I think Daddy might have heard it at our house), made Mommy literally jump and scared LadyBear into hysterical tears, but thankfully she recovered and we moved on.  

He got to meet the "claw" up close and personal too, which he seemed to be happy about.

We were all impressed with how big the truck was!  It was HUGE!  We are most grateful to the city for a chance to do something new and learn a bit more about the folks that help make our city great.
