Ballerina

I don't know if you all know, but Maile has been taking ballet and tap for about 2 months. It is the sweetest thing I have ever seen. Anyways, this is Maile practicing her dance moves that she made up herself.

Dressing UP

With it being close to Halloween we have been dressing up a lot lately. Here is Maile in some of her get ups! Nora dressed up like a cat last night, but I did not take any pictures - oops!

Here is Maile at the Buttterfly Flutterby in Grapevine last week:

Here is Maile as a fairy at a fall feastival. She ate a thing of cotton candy in about 20 seconds. Taylor turned around after he handed it to her and it was gone.

Here is Maile and her class at her Costume Parade this morining. She was so sweet, but this is the costume she wanted to wear last year's butterfly costume.

Our Family

This is the only picture we have of all four of us I think since I had Nora, so I am sharing it with you all! This was about a month ago. Nora 3 months and Maile about 2 1/2 years.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch on opening day and it wasn't too bad in the morning. Andrea mentioned the pumpkin patch about a week ago and Maile has not stopped talking about it - so we had to go right away. It was beautiful weather. Maile picked out her first pumpkin and we will carve it soon. I cannot wait for that. We meet Miles and Mason there (her cousins) and they were the only ones dressed in their costumes, but they looked really cool. Maile loved riding the tractor. I had to force her to get off! AND my Miss Nora looks so pretty in orange:)

I was trying to take pictures of Nora by herself and Maile could not help but get in the picture. Nora is going to learn to be such a patient little girl!

It's Been a While...

Well, having 2 kids I just do not have time to sit down and do this blog like I did with Maile, but here are some new pics so I can keep you all updated. Maile has started school and dance. She is doing school 2 days a week for 3 hours. She is learning so much! She comes home with all sorts of homework and it has been really fun. On Thursdays, she takes ballet and tap. Today, I peeked in and saw all the little 2 and 3 year olds dancing to my little teapot. It would melt your heart! Nora is such a sweet little girl and hopefully she will be a little less hyper than Maile. She sleeps well and has beautiful blue eyes - I call her Miss Blue Eyes. Who would have thought Taylor would have little girls with blonde hair and another with blue eyes. I love having 2 girls and it has been such a blessing to our lives!

Maile and Nora in their tutus:

Football season is here and we have been enjoying our Friday nights watching daddy coach!

Maile is so precious with her dad after the games. She always goes over with the team on Taylor's shoulders and sings the Bell Fight Song.

More Nora!

Nora is 9 weeks old and growing! It seems like she looks different every day.

She is one of a kind!

I am sure every parent feels this way at some time, but Maile is one of a kind! She is the weirdest person I know and does some crazy stuff that I don't know who taught her.

Here is Maile's first day of summer fun at the church near our house. Notice how the other kids are wearing their hats the right way, but Maile would not turn her hat around! She likes to stand out a little, I guess.
