Happy Halloween!

We had a fun time this Halloween, pumpkins, a parade at school, a neighborhood block party at the Baade's and of course.....CANDY!

2011 Horned Frog Football

It's that time of year again, TCU Football Season!!  

The stadium renovations are in full swing, and it's going to be amazing.  There is already more shade and covered areas to walk around which is great when you're in attendance with a 2 year old!

Lanny and baby Charlotte

The Baades

Halls and Baades ready for game time!

Charlotte ate that ticket she's holding

Cate actually did share her pretzel with Charlotte, eventually.

 It's going to be a great season, despite the early loss to Baylor (and now SMU).  Hey we were 1-10 when my friends and I started at TCU!

It was a HOT one!

Sign of a good time.....out cold before we hit the highway!

Evening with Friends

During Lanny's first full weekend off in 5 months, we attending the first TCU home game, went to Grapefest with the Baades, and then had dinner with the Baades and Pittmans.  It was a great weekend, and it was really nice to have Lanny around for more than one day at a time!

Cate ate this entire ear of roasted corn

Matt and Charlotte taking a break

Cate got Aunt Trudy to dance with her

Think she was having fun?

Hi Charlotte!

Trying to get all the kiddos looking at the camera

Not going so well, except for Parker!

Almost!

Not sure where this came from....

Cate likes to know what Parker is doing at all times when we are with him.....

Let's Play!

Cate loves to have people over to play in her house, at her table and now in her kitchen

Bodemann/Ram Wedding Weekend

I was a terrible photographer during the weekend of Brian and Rosie's wedding....too many people to see, drinks to enjoy and a busy 2 year old running around!  

Here is the sneak peak from the photographer's blog:

Side note...Cate and Ozi the little ring bearer go to school together, so we thought they'd be happy to walk down the aisle together.  Not so much.  Ozi was great, handsome and smiling, Cate was spent before the wedding started, so she walked with me and sat with Lanny the whole time.  Refused to be in the photos, except for the ones before the wedding like the one above.  What happens when the reception starts?  Party animal, all over the dance floor and I think she must have had at least 5 cake balls (she is her mother's daughter....).

Anyway, here are the few photos we got.....

John, Julie and Lanny at rehearsal dinner

Getting ready....

Brian and Rosie we love you guys so much, thank you for having us be apart of your weekend!

Wedding Celebration in Hot Springs

In early September we were in Hot Springs to celebrate the marriage of my cousin Scott and his wife Tonya.  They were married in May in Belize, just the two of them, so they had a reception/party in my parent's yard to celebrate!  Cate of course had a great time running around and taking her Papa wherever she liked....she stayed up entirely too late all weekend, but had a great time!

Cate and cousin Claire (who's 16 and driving?!?)

The backyard looked amazing with all the lights over the pool

Guess what phase we're in these days?

Like the blue teeth?  Cate liked the sucker she found in my bag from the plane ride down

All the details were beautiful

Only other photo we got, forgot to get the happy couple or a family photo....oops!
