These are a few of our favorite things!

Casen:
Color: Orange
Song: The UT Fight Song & The Eyes of Texas
Animal: Elephant
Food: BBQ Chips, apples, grapes, and anything chocolate
Drink: Chocolate Milk and Apple Juice
Toy: Dinosaurs, but he couldn't go anywhere with out Papa Elephant and Eddie Elephant
Activity: Casen loves to play outside. He has begun to take an interest in hunting, so I am pretty sure he will follow right in Michael's footsteps.

He is such a sweet and loving boy. He thanks me daily for his little sister. He loves to gives hugs and kisses! He is all boy and is everything I imagined he would be! I just love him so much!

Kynlee:
Color: Not sure just yet
Song: The UT Fight Song & The Eyes of Texas
Animal: Casen assures me that her favorite is a dog like Doc and Emma
Food: Anything
Drink: Chocolate Milk and Apple Juice
Toy: Anything that Casen is playing with, and she loves blankets
Activity: She is very very busy and into everything.

Kynlee is very lovable and likes to cuddle. She started walking in August. She is talking up a storm and will try any word you ask her to. She says Momma, Dadda, Nana, Papa, up, uhoh, donkey, Duke, Doc, Emma, and many more. She loves Casen and calls him Bubba. He is the first person she looks for in the morning. She is everything I wanted in a little girl. I love her so much!

Here are her 1 year stats:

22 lbs 8 oz
30.75 in
18.25 in head circumference

I didn't get the percentiles on these, but she is staying in the 90-95 % in each area except her head. I think it was in the 60th.

2011 Photo Highlights

These are out of order but it MOST of what we did this year! Both of the kids have grown alot, and I cannot wait to see them in 2012!
The year did not pass without trials, but through prayer we have all made it through! I pray that we have peace, love, good health and happiness through this new year!

We took a trip to Nacogdoches. This is one of my favorites of the kids!

Summer Vacations

We have been out of town so many times this summer! I am just ready to be home for a while!
Our latest adventure was to Granny and Grandpa's house. Casen and Kynlee had so much fun! Hunter came over to play with Casen everyday! He LOVES Hunter!
The big guys fished and fished and fished! They caught 21 catfish in the river and the lake! They even got to hunt a few times!
