Not a picky eater, but when she is done eating that is it she will not budge.

She gets so excited if her clothes have these characters on them and she can sing the theme song to the Wonder Pets.

songs- Old Mc Donald Had a Farm-she usually sings this song in the car.


books- She has just started to really take an interest in her books-there is a stack of books in just about every room in the house for her. Previously she liked to destory them, but now I can hear her trying to repeat what I have read to her - it's cute!

outdoor activity-Playing in the water, swinging, playing on the patio








The Great Outdoors - Cuero, Texas

As you may know, Ronald is an avid hunter and loves the outdoors.  We hope that both of the girls are as passionate for the outdoors as Ronald.  Isabel has been going to the hunting lease since she was 2 years old and she absolutely loves it -she even asked Ronald the other morning, "Can we go to the hunting lease to check the traps?" Lillie is not so interested, but she did enjoy fishing and getting Jaxon all tangled in the line.

Pick'n Cotton

Here Fishy, Fishy, Fishy
The only thing she caught was Jaxon.

"Here Lillie let me help you bait that hook"
Isabel is very fascinated by the night crawlers!

"Its just too HOT out here!"

"What do you mean we still have to fill up the deer feeders??"
Lillie loves Green Tea.

A Great Day for the Kendall County Fair

This past Saturday was a great day to take the kids to the fair.  Kendall County, which is located about 30 minutes from San Antonio, holds an annual Labor Day fair and livestock show.  The weather was perfect and the kids enjoyed the mini carnival rides and junk food-cotton candy and snowcones!

The Thrill Ride!
Isabel: "Again, Again!!"
Will: "Could someone go back and get my stomach."
For the entire ride, William never looked up.
Chasing the "Quack, Quacks"
Lillie enjoyed petting all the farm animals. She even tried to sit on the goats!

Of course, they had to ride the ferris wheel.
"I really need one of these at home."

Will: "This ride is much better"
