Week 28













So this was a fun week because as a family we did the Houston Susan G. Komen Walk for the Cure 5k. We joined the Sara Strong Team in memory of Angie's sister, Sara Sullivan, and other family members that have fought the fight against breast cancer. It was a lot of fun and it felt good to help raise money for such a wonderful cause. Both girls had a lot of fun and looked cute doing it.

After the race we went to Ansley and Callie's soccer game. Chad and Popa along with Callie and Shelby ended up on an empty field working on the girls soccer skills. Shelby had a lot of fun and looked cute doing it.

We also celebrated cousin Callie's birthday! Our Callie girl turned 4 and we celebrated by going to Lupe Tortillas. The kids all had a lot of fun playing together and helping Callie celebrate.

Week 27












Another week, another adventure for us. Hayden turned 6 months old last week, I cannot believe it. So, on Thursday I took her to the Dr. for her well check appointment. She now weighs 17 lbs. 8 oz. and is 28 inches long. She is in the 75% for her weight and the 95% for her height. She is growing like a weed. She is now even sitting up in grocery carts all by herself instead of just in the carrier that she is SO heavy in.

Shelby had a lot of fun in school this week like always but especially this week because they had a foam party. Angie took pictures for me and said she wasn't too into it. The funny thing is that after I picked her up that day that is all she talked about. We also had a "Nacho Movie Night" with all of the Gorman kiddos this week. They sat at side and had nachos for dinner while we watched the new Tinkerbell movie. They had a lot of fun and were so cute. On Saturday we had Ava's birthday party and the girls played and played for hours on the waterslides and pools with a bunch of little friends.

Week 26


















We have a had a really busy fun week. Chad worked late one night this week and while the girls and I were at home hanging out Shelby started to play with Hayden. She was acting like she was falling off a stool and when she would fall Hayden would laugh and laugh. They are too cute together and Shelby loves playing with Hayden.

Callie came over on Friday and hung out with us. We went to Pump It Up and enjoyed ourselves. Callie and Shelby play so well together sometimes and laughed and played while Hayden and I watched.

This past weekend Mimi and Popa had gone camping right outside of Huntsville, so we went up and spent the day swimming, fishing, and kayaking. Shelby even had her first motorcycle ride on Popa's motorcycle around the campground. Shelby then stayed the night with her Grandparents while Hayden got to hang out with Chad and I.

Nana came on Monday and kept the girls while I worked, and then we all went to Deer Park on Tuesday. We visited with Mom's friends and then went and visited little Wesley Locklear. After that we headed on over to Casa Ole and had lunch followed by shopping with Nana.

Week 25




This was, thank goodness, not too crazy of a week. We cleaned out most of our junk and had a garage sale at my friend Melissa's house. Shelby was so excited because I told her the more toys she sold the more money she would make. She has been begging for a big Buzz Lightyear toy so we said she could use her money from the garage sale to buy it. She was beyond excited to get her "Big Buzz".

Week 24










They both look like they are up to no good in this picture.

Happy Birthday to Uncle Josh this week. The whole Gorman clan went to celebrate at Lupe Tortillas. My little Hayden is growing up too quick and is now sitting up in a high chair all by herself. She is still getting use to eating baby food and is still not a fan at all. We also spent Labor Day weekend in Austin with the McDaniel group including Grandma Sandy. We enjoyed good food and good company and did a lot of hard work trying to help Grandma Sandy get her rent house on the market.

Hayden has become very flexible over the last week and I had to stop painting her toe nails. She has a new obsession with trying to suck on her toes. I know, gross! We also tried Hayden for the first time on a sippy cup. She didn't care for it too much.
