Texas State Fair 2011, continued

Here are a few more pictures taken at the Fair.  We had a great time: saw some great cars, saw 3 different "homes of tomorrow," stayed a while in the rabbit building :), feed some animals and ate lots of food.  Between the 4 of us we ate lots of crazy food!  Fried salsa, fried margarita, fried autumn pumpkin pie, fried biscuit and gravy, funnel cake, korny dog, frito pie and a catfish taco.  Only at the Texas State Fair!

Texas State Fair 2011

Here are a few of the pictures we took at the Texas State Fair this year.  More to come. . .

Walkin' Baby

Hannah has become interested in two things this past week: Winnie the Pooh and her baby doll.  Before she goes to bed at night, Hannah makes sure that Baby is in her little basket bed and ready for night night- it is so sweet.  Here are a few shots of Hannah pushing Baby in the stroller and taking a walk.  Enjoy!

Playing ball and popsicles

Hannah has become a fan of popsicles lately.  And her love of playing ball has increased this summer.  She loves to say "where did did did it go?" and then go find it (actually, she says this about almost anything that we are looking for!).  Hannah does this outside but she also thows it over the kitchen gate for me to throw back at her :)  Hmmm . . . kind of sounds like a game of fetch the ball now that I think about it.

More Swimmin'

Here are a few more pictures of our time swimming at a friend's house.  Hannah sure does love swimmin'!

Babysitting Ni-Ni

We have been babysitting a little girl named MacKenzie.  Hannah refers to her as "Ni-Ni." Hannah generally likes her but it took quite a while to adjust to sharing attention with someone all day long.  I am still trying to adjust to having 2 kiddos in the house at one time!  And I am pretty sure my brain completely blocked out how hard it was having such a small child- they are so needy!  Anyway, we are adjusting and Hannah likes to "help" Ni-Ni with her bottle.

Outside adventures with Molly and Hannah

So I haven't bloged in a while.  The reason?  I lost the camera for a little while but have finally found it.  Just in time for some great weather.  What??? Yup- Texas has finally gotten out of the 100s everyday and it has even rained a few times- in fact, it hailed tonight along with the thunderstorm :)

With this nice weather has come some serious outside time for Hannah and even a little for Molly.  Enjoy!

Chloe outfit

This little cute pink outfit was worn by my sweet niece Chloe for some special pictures a few years ago.  I love that Hannah gets to wear some of her cousins clothes that remind me of them.  Missing them tons right now and can't wait to see them at Thanksgiving!

Sprinkler

Here are some pictures of Hannah playing in our sprinkler a few weeks ago.  She was pretty cautious at first but the fun of playing in the water won out!

Yogurt is so much fun!

I have been giving Hannah a little more freedom to feed herself these days- but only when we don't have anywhere to go for the rest of the day!  Here are some pics of her eating yogurt by herself.  Yumma!  Numma! ( she says both)
