Audrey the Aggie

Tailgating with Daddy!

Natalie's Baptism

Our beautiful Natalie got baptised on Sunday, September 12th at 3pm. It was a wonderful service dedicated to just infant baptisms. Here are some pictures from the ceremony...

Natalie getting ready in the same dress and bonnet that big sister Audrey wore at her baptism when she was 7 months old in June of 2009. It's a little big on Natalie...but still super cute and now extra special!

Audrey being such a good girl! She was pointing to all our family sitting behind us and saying, "there my people!" She kept waving to them and saying "hi" to them. She is such a cutie!

She's yawing...I guess seeing babies getting baptised was boring her!

Sweet Natalie!
After the service we took a whole bunch of family pictures...so here we are.

My Aunt Suzy and her two kiddos, Jack and Meredith (who aren't very tiny kids any more...they have grown up so much) came to celebrate with us.

3 Months Old

Natalie at 3 Months Old...WARNING I AM ABOUT TO BRAG!

She is the happiest, smiliest (is that a word) baby ever! I'm not the only one that says so either...every time I pick her up from the nursery at church I have three women (including the one holding her) come up and tell me that she is "just so happy," that she "just smiles and coos the whole time." All I can do is smile and thank them, because I totally agree! People will stop me and ask how old she is and then look at her and start talking to her and her face just lights up and she gives total strangers HUGE smiles! I love talking to her because I really feel she is understanding what I am saying and she talks back to me. She has such a bright personality! If I laugh at her she laughs back, over and over again! She is so happy!

Here is a picture of her on her 3 month birthday. She was enjoying having Mommy all to herself while big sister, Audrey, was at MDO. All smiles!

First Day of MDO!

Audrey started school this week! I was looking forward to taking her to school since she was so excited after her "Meet the teacher" day, but I had been so sick with a fever the day before that Daddy got to take her instead. It was really special for him, so now I'm happy that he got to be part of it! She loved it!

She cried when he put her in the car because she had to take off her back pack! Poor thing!

The "GIRLS" First Aggie Tailgate

Audrey is an Aggie pro...she has been to every Aggie home game since she was born. She loves dressing in maroon, singing the Aggie song and playing with her Reveille...so she was so excited about going to the Aggie School and Aggie Bus this year. She couldn't wait! Natalie on the other hand couldn't have cared less, and according to this picture she probably rather would have stayed home! ha! (What I'm not showing you is the picture before this where Audrey is poking her!) I decided to take this picture at home before we left for Aggieland because I didn't know how crazy things were going to get and if for some reason we didn't take any other pictures, at least I had this one!

At the tailgate just hanging with Daddy!

Us girls! Yes, Natalie is in the picture...it's like "Where's Waldo" with all that maroon!

Natalie at her first tailgate on our bus, The Spirit! It's just the beginning!

We very wisely decided not to take Natalie to the game, so she went and spent the evening with her Aunt Lara at her apartment. She loved Lara's apartment so much and felt so at home there that she slept the whole time. Lara had to wake her up to feed her after 4 hours!

Audrey was so excited about the game...walking to the stadium she just kept saying "Too many Aggies. Aggie shirts, like mine." She was in awe! When we got up to our seats she was so wide eyed and in shock that she didn't sing The War Hymn or clap or cheer. She just stared at everything! Finally in the 2nd quarter she loosened up and was dancing in the isle! She loved it! Here she is ready for some football!
