Pumpkin Patch and More

 

Jillian and Avery say, "Let's Go Cowboys!!"

Jillian LOVES her leopard lovey!

Today we ventured out to the Pumpkin Patch in Flower Mound!  We met up with several of my sorority sisters, their husbands, and kids.  It was a fantastic time!  We missed Daddy, but he got to be on TV during the OK State game...he's famous!  I am SO glad that there were lots of hands to help with the girls because they are everywhere all the time!!

Jillian "Hercules" McCurry had to try to pick them up!

Ok, this was the best I got of our group picture.  We were minus Aiden at the moment.

When we got home from our adventure we HAD to play outside!

 



Avery (I love this one!)

Such a big girl

Leaves are delicious!

Love this one of Jill too!

LEAVES!!!

 And just a baby girl update!  Both girls are cutting molars, Jill has one more to go and Avery has 3 to go.  They love to chase each other now and scream and squeal as they do it.  They are starting to say words and are great at no, night night, DaDa, and MaMa, plus all their different animal sounds.  In the last few days I'm pretty sure I've heard drink, shoes, and sissy.  And their latest and greatest accomplishment (much to my dismay) is they can climb up on the furniture.  They think this is great fun, we think it's terrifying!  Note the fun they are having below, they got up there on their own.

 

You're the reason God made Oklahoma, and we're sure missing you.

This weekend we went to Oklahoma to visit Wes' family.  Friday night we went to the Kay County Fair in Blackwell and the girls were celebrities!  Everyone wanted to see the twins they've heard so much about.  Saturday we headed over to the 16th Celebration in Wakita and saw Great Grandpa Everett and Great Grandma Rose.  The girls had a great time playing and dancing with their cousin Aiden at the parade!  Afterwards, we met Great Grandma Vera for dinner to visit.  We had a great weekend, but are now hoping that Avery's stomach bug doesn't travel through the family and that everyone feels perky in the morning.  Thank you PaPa and NaNa for letting us come visit!

I know these are old pictures, but I was able to make the right connection at Cook Children's to get copies of them sent to me.  Aren't we all so glad we don't have that feeding tube anymore!?!?  These are of Jillian and one of the GI Nurse Practitioners, they were taken to use in a registration brochure. 

 

Playtime

This eve while I cleaned up the kitchen and the tornado of toys, the girls went outside to help Daddy with chores.  They played while he watered, having a great time walking, sitting, and eating mud and other fun outside delicacies.  I finished up and snapped a few pictures, and I happen to love them thanks to the setting sun.  I think they look like sweet angels with the beautiful light behind them.  (If anyone is any good at editing let me know, I'd love to learn using these pictures.)  If you're wondering, Jillian is in pink and Avery is in yellow.

 

Summer Fun!

Hanging out in our tent, Avery's cheesin' it up!

Game day!!  Their shirt says, "My Daddy loves Mommy, Me, and the OK State Cowboys!"

Daddy had this same shirt when he was little.

"Avery!  Smile for the camera!"...this is what you get.

Jillian is a ham!

We seriously love legos!

Big Girls!

This afternoon we sprayed down with bug spray and got some much needed fresh air!  The last time the girls played with their slide they didn't show a lot of interest, but this time they were all about it!  Both of them climbed the stairs up to the slide on their own and went down the slide almost on their own, just a hand hold needed!  And of course Jillian had to try to climb up the slide!

Avery got really good at climbing...I'm sure this is not a good thing.
