Mud Party

Coeli, Logan & Addison went on a bike ride on Sunday. We ended up at Logan's school where we played on the playground for a while then hit the monkey bars. Logan found some trees to climb and Addison found some puddles. I told her she could jump in them if we took her shoes and socks off. Logan got in on the action soon after, then they both asked me to take my shoes off, too. Little did I know that we would all end up covered head to toe in mud. We spent 2 hours there and had so much fun. I've let the kids play in the mud at home before, but I've never joined in - what a blast! We made "mud angels", had a sliding contest, and of course, a mud fight! We came home, stripped down (the kids at least) and jumped in the pool. We left the water quite murkey, but it was well worth it!

Logan's shirt started out white, and Addie's was bright orange. You can't quite see it, but both Logan and Addison have dried mud all over their faces, too. Imagine laying face down in a huge mud puddle and you'll get a great image of the kids!

Addison The Beauty

Addison has been coming into her own recently. She is going through a growth spurt and with it seems to be coming a new beauty of an "almost 4 year old". She fits right in with the older girls, but can still be our little girl when she wants to be.







We sure love our cuddle bug!

Logan's Newfound Love For Silliness

For a kid who used to hate getting his picture taken, Logan has certainly made himself comfortable in front of the camera. Now the trick is to get him to just smile normally instead of always making goofy faces. As Laurie always says, the pictures should capture what they are like at that moment in time. Hmm... maybe I should get some pictures of him stewing with his arms crossed, too.

Kieran's First Ice Cream Cone

This was Kieran's first ice cream cone. She has been an ice cream fan for some time now but never before has it been quite this accessible. She did not move from this spot until the ice cream was down in the cone at a spot she couldn't reach. Only then did she dare to get up and risk leaving her little utopia. She cried a little upon realizing it was all gone, but then we distracted her with a bucket full of snakes and alligators.

The TexasWags Family

This is us in October 2007 - (l-r) Addison, Coeli, Logan, Kieran and Tim. It's the most recent shot we have together where noone is crying or picking his/her nose.
