Dressing up

We love shoes and purses! Braden found some shoes at Grammy's that I wore in a wedding. I guess they are being used for something now!

Tubes

We left my parents house at 4:00 a.m. this morning to be in Tyler at 5:30 to check in for Braden's ear surgery. We got checked in and they put a bracelet on her ankle. We had to make a big deal about it! Then they took us back to get prepped. She did so good, until the nurse couldn't get her blood pressure. After that, she put her gown on and was ready to go. Of course, she didn't really know what was happening. They brought her some medicine that made her quite drunk, she was so funny. My Uncle Johnny came over to be with us, and she was just really telling him a story. The surgery lasted about 10 minutes and it was done. She was a little mad when she woke up, really didn't know what had happened and why she felt like she did. She cried for about 20-30 minutes and then was ready to go. She ate a biscuit and drank milk on the way home and has been great ever since. Hopefully this will help. Boy is Mom glad it's over! I was a nervous wreck!

The bracelet - about 5:45 a.m.

Fun at the park

We went to the park Sunday afternoon with Katie. Braden had lots of fun on the slide - climbing and sliding over and over. She was definitely worn out!

Someone didn't wait for me to take the picture.

Fun at Grammy and Poppy's

We went to see Grammy and Poppy for the Labor Day weekend, actually, we're still here! Weddings, tubes, all sorts of things going on! Anyway, we went to see Aunt La and Finley on Saturday and did a little shopping. I think Grammy has created a little monster with the make-up. She thinks she can do it all by herself! Then Finley and Aunt La came and stayed at Grammy's for the weekend. Uncle B came down later! Had lots of fun with "Fin" as Braden calls her!

It's raining, it's pouring.....

We had been getting a lot of rain in South Texas! In fact, I hate to say it, a little too much! Nobody could do anything! We couldn't even ride Cocoa because the arena was under water, literally! Anyway, after a rain one day, Braden decided to play in GranK and Pappy's back yard. After all, it did look a swimming pool! Then we did a little jumping on the trampoline and got a little more wet! Oh well, what fun!!!!

Cowgirl Braden

GranK and Pappy bought all the grandkids a pony, Cocoa. Braden just loves her! She is so sweet and great with the kids! The big horses don't care much for her, but that's ok. Anyway, the day we went to pick her up, she had to put all her gear on - of course the pants were too long, but she didn't care. She had to wear her boots and belt, even though it was a little hot outside. She fell asleep going to get her because she hadn't had a nap all day - too excited! We have ridden her a couple of times and she talks about her all the time. In fact, she has to wear her stuff around the house, no matter what she has on.:) She also calls her bouncy horse Cocoa! Thanks GranK and Pappy!

She's such a cowgirl, that she helps us with the big horses too!

Hayes turns 2

Well as you can tell, it's been a while since we updated! Cousin Hayes turned 2 at the beginning of August! We had lots of fun at his party!
