Fall Fun!

Andrew was really into pumpkins this year! He loved picking out the different shapes and colors for the front porch.

Our church had a family picnic at a local pumpkin farm. We took a hayride to the pumpkin fields to pick a pumpkin.

Andrew just wanted to run through the field instead of actually picking a pumpkin. We eventually found one he liked!

Toddler Fair

Because it is time for all of the Fall Festivals and the East Texas Fair, Andrew's preschool had a Toddler Fair. Lot's of games, crafts, and they could bring their own "stuffed animal" for the animal livestock show. Of course, Andrew brought a cow!

The Cow Party!

The kids played a ton in the backyard

Andrew's friends Pace, Nate, and Carley

The cow cake, a friend in Dallas, her sister in law made this. She does great work, and tastes great too!

Very fun day!

Andrew's 2nd Birthday

I can't believe he is 2!!! Andrew has been very into farm animals, especially cows, and tractors since we moved to Tyler. He told me he wanted a cow party for his birthday. It was really fun to plan, more cow ideas out there than I ever thought!

My dad has a John Deere tractor, Andrew is in love with it. So, he got his very own!

He shared cookies with his class at school for his birthday.

Andrew wanted to eat dinner at Coyote Sam's, they have wild game mounted all over the walls, one of his favorite places. Then he wanted yogurt at TCBY.

What a great birthday!

First Day of Preschool

I had been dreading this day for months, I knew Andrew would have a great time at preschool, but I was not ready. It didn't seem like he should be old enough for this! It's all worked out just fine and he's adjusted and loves his teacher Ms. Teresa and all of his friends. I'm so thankful he is having such a good time!

Andrew did not want to take a picture with his new lunchbox and backpack.

After all of the crying when I left him, he was happy when I picked him up. Cute little guy!

Our new niece!

Avery Grace Burks

She's just beautiful!

Happy July 4th!

We had a fun 4th of July! My parents neighborhood had a parade complete with the fire department and their fire trucks!

We decorated Andrew's wagon for the parade.

We had a party at the house. The kids had a ton of fun!

So cute waving their flags during the fireworks!

Outside watching the fireworks. The neighbors had a great show!
