Hi Dada!

For the next 2 weeks the blog will be for Beau as he travels around the world, LITERALLY! I can only say I'm so glad that technology is what it is today. So Honey, this is for you. I miss you & love you!
The girls must have known something was up all week. Of course, Beau, you are not even to the airport when River's nose became a faucet fully opened and Skye starts hacking a lung. I'm crossing my fingers its allergies. If not it will be a very LONG 2weeks.
I'm ready to go Daddy! We're traveling 1st class, right?!

He can't leave without me if I block the door! And the man coming to take him can't get in if I don't move!
I'm taking care of your chair for you Daddy. I won't let JuJu break it. I miss you! Mommy is threatening to take away our bottles. Please don't be long. No telling what other craziness she may come up with!

We decided to move Pillow Pile-up to the hallway. Rayne is making it leisure time though. As you can tell, Skye & JuJu are planning an attack. River is commanding from the back.
She who has the most rocks WINS!!!!
I have no idea how this one came to be, but River somehow got the dog leash around her waist. Skye then grabbed the leash and starting pulling her around. This will be a fun picture to torture them with as they get older, don't ya think!?!?!



Geaux Tigers!!!! LSU 26, Auburn 21!!!!
Yeah!!!!!!!!
Oh, yeah, your team won too! TEXAS 52, Rice 10

They're 22 months and LOTS of pics!

Oh, there is so much to catch up on! First, all of my family has made it thru IKE relatively unscathed, hallelueh! Beau's sister is still without power and a few fences have been lost. Otherwise, all is well! YEAH! My prayers continue to go out to everyone else affected by this storms and especially to all of the emergency responders rescue teams!!!
I loaded up some videos of the girls so I hope you enjoy them. The one of Skye sums up a few of the days we have had! The other is of them playing. And someone asked me about the ballpit: YES, they still play with it everyday and still LOVE it!!! Worth every penny! (it is from Eezy Peezy). The girls are getting so chatty and independent. Skye is definitely letting us know ALL about her wants. River has decided she is an adult. Rayne will sing her way thru life and lull you into a false sense of security as she robs you blind! JuJu took 26 steps the other day and her favorite words continue to be Elmo (memmo) & Dada!
The girls have started Kindermusik and it is wonderful! The girls are really starting to get the concept of circle time and participating and follow some directions (or at least the ones they like). Rayne usually takes advantage of this time to check out everyone's purses & shoes. We almost had a riot the first day because she was determined to take someone else's shoes. She did not want to let go! She wanted the designer Crocs and wanted nothing to do with her Target specials. Isn't this suppose to start like 12 years later???? AHAHAHAHHA!!!!
One thing Rayne is not shy or subtle about~ chocolate! I had some chocolate cookies the other day for the girls and Skye wasn't sure about taking the cookie from me or tasting it. She finally was going to, had her mouth open, cookie only millimeters away, and at the last .1 second, Rayne comes out of nowhere and grabs the cookie! Skye's face was hysterical, she didn't know if she was suppose to cry or get mad. I thought this may have been a fluke, but based on the continuing stealth like mission to get all of the cookies, I realized I have a serious chocolate addict on my hands. Sound familiar NONI!
Uh-oh! Busted! I swear it was her idea!


Oh, the many things you can do with a head band! Don't you wish your waist was that small??
Chillin' after a rowdy game of "pillow pile-up"!
Hey, You want in this action? I'll see your cracker & raise you 2 crackers with cheese! Oooohhhhh!!!!!!!
Too many things could be written here! One, she obviously lost the cracker-poker game. Two, the beginning of a new college drinking game. Three, just because!
This was them just a year ago!

Because somtimes, it is just one of those days!!!!

Playtime In or out!

Happy Birthday Uncle Jer

Happy Birthday Uncle Jer! Yep, my baby brother is 29! He is getting sooooo old! HA! I hope you had a great day Jer!


I do ask for anyone reading, that you keep TX & LA in your prayers with IKE. Much of our family and many of our friends are either in the Houston area or the New Orleans/Baton Rouge area. The storm surge in the New Orleans area has been alot and my brother says a tornado went over Kenner (not sure if it touched down all the way). Houston (at this point) hasn't had much rain, but ALOT of wind. We are suppose to feel the effects here tomorrow sometime, but obviously nothing like in the south part of TX. And for all of my blogging friends down there, I'm saying prayers for all of you too! Goerlich quads, you have an open invitation to a home that is quad-proof. Wells' girls, ya'll too!

I do have alot of pics of the girls and new stories but I'll have to catch up more later. Our internet was down for a few days, and I'm still playing catch up. Suffice it to say, the girls are starting the "terrible" two's a few months early!

Playing outside on a Saturday

Saturday in the yard....

The weather was finally nice enough to set up the outdoor play equipment and let the girls loose. They were having an absolute fit watching us get it ready to let them out of the house. They played with the new toys for about a minute, but the true star of the show, were my left over rocks and some empty ceramic pots. Rayne had the best time walking around with them. River & Skye enjoyed stacking & sorting them. I was amazed we only lost 3 of them. The other toy that seemed to keep their interest was the broom. They truly spent more time finding and playing (or trying to play) with everything that was somewhat dangerous for a 21month old. Are you surpised? I'm not. Enjoy the pics. I'll try and get some video up too.
