Oaxie the Pirate

Here are the pics of Oaxie in her pirate costume. She is still going between Pirate and Princess as of now. I guess for her school party she can be one and when we go trick or treating she can be the other!

What to be for Halloween?!?!

These pictures are for you Mom.:) To my FB friends, you have already seen these, but for everyone else, here are some Halloween pictures of the kiddos. My friend Shannon let us borrow some of her little girl, Mia's, costumes for Oaxie to try. She only tried one on, the Princess, and that was it. She did not want anything else. However, Bin was in the trying on mood. He posed for pics in every one of Mia's outfits, and of course I was able to get some perfect shots of him acting like a corn ball! Here you go...

Oh and a few days later Oaxie decided she did not want to be a Princess any more and now wants to be a pirate like Bin. We had to go get her a new costume after all. I was hoping not to have to buy one. However, costumes are all on sale at Target now and you get a free trick or treat bucket with every costume purchase! Will put new pictures of her up later once I download them.

A Night Out!!

This weekend we had a night out by ourselves. Well...not really by ourselves, just without the kids. I think I can count on 1 hand the amount of times Jon and I have done anything alone since the kids were born. It was so exciting that we had to take a picture! I know...crazy and very sad. It felt like prom night. Just no sparkling dress or tux! A friend of Jon's got married and my parents came down just for the night to watch Bin and Oaxie so we could go! Thanks Mom and Dad. I love you very much and thank you for all that you do for us and the little pooters!:)

Fun Times!

After a long day of fun in the lake...out like a light!

Last week we went on vacation to Lake LBJ. We stayed in a really great Lake House and had our own little private sandy beach all to ourselves. The Lake was shallow, almost all the way out to the middle, so it was perfect for us to play in. This was our first real vacation with Mommy and Daddy. Nana and Granddaddy came a long also. We were in the water all week and did not even get sunburned. Nana and Granddaddy did though! Poor Nana's back was so red she looked like a lobster. Thankfully, it did not hurt as bad as it looked. Mommy kept us lathered up with sunscreen because she did not want our pretty skin to get all freckled like hers, she said!:) We swam, fished, and tubed a lot. Mommy was not sure she wanted us to ride in the tube behind the boat but Granddaddy said he would pull us real slow and Daddy had to ride with us. The week went by too fast and we were not ready to leave. Hopefully we can try and go again next summer. It was a perfect time to relax and do absolutely nothing...just my kind of vacation!!:)

On Saturday the Spina Bifida Association had a get-together at Burgers Lake in Ft Worth. Brien and Christy and the kids came down also. We swam all day except for a brief moment to eat. I mean literally we were in the water for 5 hours! It was a lot of fun.

July 4, 2009

I think this is one of the few 4th of July's that I have not had to work in a long time. We went to Jon's shop to watch them like usual but could not see from there. The city moved them this year so we had to load up quickly and drive into town so we would not miss them. Thankfully, we only missed the first few minutes.

Oaxie and Peyton

We went to Frisco this past Friday to spend the day with all of the Binford cousins. Yes, we were swimming again. We love the water. Mommy told Daddy she really wants a pool too, BUT... Daddy says we are not responsible enough to have one. We have only lived in this house for a year and have already managed to break the hot tub. How on earth could we care for a pool. Oh well, maybe some day. Bin and Oaxie loved playing with all their cousins and Mommy was so happy to visit with Kay, Kristy and Karol. After seeing them she realized how she has missed them! We will not let time go by for so long without seeing each other again!! When we left Oaxie had a major melt down and said, "I don't won't to leave my cousins!" It was sad but the melt down was even sadder!!!
