"best friend"....

December 1 2011 our neighborhood shopping area held a fun filled afternoon for FREE. Full of train rides, firetrucks, police cars, balloon making, cookie decorating, petting ZOO, and even a horse drawn carriage ride. We went with our new friends, Jack and his Mom Marisa(she also has a baby who is just 6 weeks younger than Miss CEC, his name is Henry). Caroline + Henry rode in style in the bjorns while we pulled the boys around in the wagon. Grace also came with us to help out and i think she had a blast too! it was a fantastic way to kick off the month of December!




trey + jack. so when we first went to school i didn't know what type of child trey would be drawn to. honestly, he hasn't been that into playing with kids his age, except for his good friend Mabry, so i just didn't know what to expect. From day 1 trey + jack have been good buddies. its a def. "ying + yang" type relationship. i always think a good friendship needs to include 1 indian + 1 chief,  2 chiefs will just argue and 2 indians probably would be boring....soooo trey + jack def. display that balance.  I won't mention which hat each boy wears but it certainly makes for a great team! last night at dinner i asked trey the following : me: " is jack a good friend to you?" trey: mama, he's my best friend"  my heart was just so full and i have no clue where trey got the words "best friend" i guess from school bc i have never mentioned this concept to him. it was very touching. so are the photos i snapped of the two of them patiently waiting in their for the animal balloons: jack chose a dog and trey chose a cat. they were just making each other laugh and honestly lovin' on one another. I am quite thankful for jack's friendship with trey.
 










Ashley + MM'S Lake....

Myron's Family purchased about 100 acres of land in the middle of new Mckinney many years ago, and made a lake. While alot of development has gone on the family has decided to keep it, for now, as they treasure this land and i can see why. its a little slice a nature in the middle of a town. Myron and Ashley took us here to fish. We put a hot dog on the end of Trey's pole and the boys fished for about an hour. Trey did not move and was intent on getting a fish. he didn't snag one but Uncle MM did and boy was that exciting!!!! If your wondering where us girls are, we are in the suburban, where it was warm, sipping on coffee and chatting :) you know, girl talk!












these last picture shows trey ready, almost pleading with the water, come on show me a fish!!!!

Hooked!!!!





Ashley + MM'S Place...

We got to go see Ashley and Myron's Home in McKinney! It is so nice and they live on a lovely piece of land which includes a little tractor...Trey was in heaven. MM bought Trey a fishing pole and he played with it for hours.....he was very interested in it and worked for a good 30 minutes trying to figure out how to "wheel" or "wind" the fish back in.....Thank you ashley and mm to treating us to a lovely time. Ashley cooked us a wonderful dinner, and pulled out all the stops to host her very first house guest in her new home. AND she had her entire house already setup for Christmas,  beautiful tree and all!!!

Deep in concentration
