Jolie Turns 4!!



I can't believe Jolie is 4 years old today...sniff sniff. Time goes so fast. Yesterday, we had the entire family (families) over for her first birthday party in Texas. Her first three were in California. Joey smoked briskets on the smoker all day long...and they were fabulous! At Jolie's request, I made her a Barbie cake. It was a great time!

Blue Cheese & Dropped Biscuit

Bay and I had fun tonight. We went shopping for food and stuff for Jolie's party. When our tummies started growling, we decided to eat at the Monument Cafe in Georgetown. I got a cob salad and Bayleigh got the soup and sandwich combo. Bayleigh must have been really hungry, because after she finished hers, she wanted to eat the rest of mine. I watched her eat the rest of my salad and noticed her stabbing the fork into a big piece of blue cheese. I knew she didn't like blue cheese, but wasn't going to stop her..lol. Sure enough, after she put it in her mouth she made the sourest face...then I admitted to her that I knew what she was eating. I had to get her back for letting me eat a piece of her biscuit that had fallen on the floor...only I didn't know it had been on the floor and picked up and placed back on her plate!! Ewwww!! We had a great time laughing at both of our misfortunes!

Austin Family Magazine

Several posts ago, I mentioned that Jolie might be on the cover of Austin Family Magazine. Well, they were able to use one of her photos...remember, some of them probably had the fear of heights look on her face :) The magazine is out on the stands now. If you live in the Austin area and want to pick one up (it's free) they are at HEB & Randall's (and other family related venues). At the grocery stores, they are usually located by the front doors in the racks that also have the Greensheet, Real Estate mags, etc. This issue should be on their website soon also.

Halloween


We had a great time trick-or-treating in Steve & Christie's neighborhood with Logan. Lauren was as cute as could be, but slept through the entire candy collecting episode. After a few blocks, Jolie was ready to take a nap on the sidewalk.

Pumpkin Carving



Joey helped the girls carve their pumpkins, like he does every year. This year, Bayleigh drew templates for the pumpkins.
