Watch Bin's Exciting Video!

This week has been very exciting. Bin has been taking some steps without his walker. He will look at me and say, "hand." He has been wanting to hold my hand lately and has figured out that he can't do that and hold onto his walker at the same time. I think he sees Oaxie and I holding hands and he wants to do that also. Jon took some video of him today. Unfortunately, we were on the gravel road at the shop and it was a little harder for him but he did it. He is so awesome! We are hoping that as good as he is doing now that maybe he will be walking without assistance by his birthday. (April 4)

Do I hear Jay Jay the Jet Plane?

But I want to go this way!!

Sunday we went out to play at the tank. We had so much fun last weekend and the weather was so nice we decided to do it again. This time we took the wagon. Mommy and Daddy got very tired carrying us around. We have so much fun throwing rocks in the water and sometimes eating them (Bin)!

Happy Halloween

Oaxie has had enough!


Let's call it a night, we are pooped!


We are not real sure what to think about this Halloween thing yet. To start the evening off Bin fell off the side of the porch, thankfully in the flower bed. We were unable to remove all the leaves from his costume after that, hey stuck to him like glue. Oaxie took off down the street to join a group of Tricker Treaters that had their dog with them. TaTa and Grandpa Mike came to see them so TaTa went with her. Bin decided he wanted to go, so he took off on his walker. He walked half way down the street. That was a lot of hard work for him. By the end of the evening Bin and Oaxie turned into pumpkins. Oaxie had a little tantrum in the front yard and lay there for a while and would not get up. Bin kept grabbing the candy basket and spilling it everywhere!. Finally, as we were about to go in, Oaxie fell off the front step and hit her head. She is okay but it scared Mommy and Daddy to death! After their bath they were saying, "Night, Night." They must have been really sleepy. We put them down and never heard another peep. This night has been exhausting. Good Night!

Pumpkin Carving

Oaxie not for sure about this

Bin still wondering how that light got in there

Tonight we stayed up a little late so we could help Daddy carve the pumpkin. Oaxie wanted to eat the pumpkin seeds and Bin wanted to play with all the sticky gook. We have not decided what we are going to do tomorrow night. We may just let Bin and Oaxie hand out candy in their costumes or we may go visit friends houses. We never decide on anything until the last minute!

Daddy Time

Daddy lovin' on his baby girl

Today we went to see Daddy after work. He loves when we come to see him. We get to play with lots of neat things. Mommy gets worried and follows us around like a hawk. She thinks we are going to try and start welding or something, she is such a Nervous Nelly! The Mineral Wells Airport is out by Daddy's shop so I (Bin) was so happy to watch all the Jay Jay the Jet Planes fly over head. (Any time Bin sees an airplane, he screams Jay Jay after the tv show) After that, we all went to get a pumpkin for Halloween. Thankfully there were still some left. Daddy and Mommy sometimes wait until the last minute to get things done around here! It is too late now, so tomorrow night we are all going to carve the pumpkin, we can't wait.

Visiting with Grandpa Mike and TaTa

Bin & Daddy off to the lake


Throwing rocks in the water is lots of fun!

This afternoon we went out to visit Grandpa Mike and TaTa. We had a fun time. We threw rocks in the water and went on a long walk all the way around the tank. We searched for arrowheads and we actually found one! Bin loves to play on the backhoe. He is just like Daddy. He will be driving that big thing before we know it. Yikes! Oaxie chased the cats and dogs around. TaTa has a new kitty that she played with. She loves animals. She is very gentle with them. She even fed the baby kitty. She was so proud of herself.

Winter is coming!

Please excuse the old muffler in this shot!:)

Today we played outside all afternoon. The weather is perfect right now. Poor Oaxie does not have a hat that will fit her anymore so she had to wear one of Bin's. I noticed there is an old muffler in the background of one of Oaxie's pictures. No, we have not opened up a used car parts lot. Jon has bought an old 47 Willy's jeep that he is in the process of refurbishing. I promise that is not in front of our house permanently!:)
