Lots of Catching Up....

Well it has been a while since my last post... I knew it would be hard to keep up... I hope to do a better job of this but I am sure that it will take some time... =) We have had a pretty busy month... Jeff's mom (Si Si), grandmother (Mammo), and brother (Brian) came for a visit in August... We all had a great time hanging out and spending time with one another... I didn't take any pictures with my camera and didn't get the ones Susan took before they headed home so nothing to share from that trip... She did take some good pictures though so maybe I will post a few later...

August 25th was Poppa's 80th birthday and we all went to Franklin to celebrate with family... We had a good time that weekend even though we had car problems with Jeff's brand new company car... Car issues are the worst!

Mi Mi gave Leighton a bath on Friday night in her new duck while Mommy and Daddy went to watch Porter and Daniel play in their first varsity football game... They didn't win but since then they have won all their other games... Way to go Lions!

Leighton and Mi Mi down at the barn checking out all the animals Saturday morning...

Leighton and Mommy checking out the cows... I didn't mind them but I am not a fan of those annoying turkeys...

Leighton and Caroline (Cara's little girl) at Poppa's 80th Birthday party...

Morgan and our new little Brody (Bo's little boy) at the party...

We were on our way to church when the car decided to grow a mind of its own... So much for church... The rest of the afternoon was spent calling a tow truck, getting a rental, and hanging out...

Poppa and Bobba came out to the house to bring Mommy and Mi Mi lunch since they didn't have a car while Daddy and P-Paw went to pick up a rental so we could get home... I also went to bed pretty early while at Poppa and Bobba's house the night before, so this Poppa's birthday picture with Leighton...

Leighton made all kinds of faces all afternoon long, most of which included lots of slober!

We finally made it home!

Happy 5 month birthday to Leighton!!!

5 months has gone by so fast... She thinks it is all so funny!

The next weekend Mommy and Leighton headed to Franklin for lots of reasons while Daddy went in a different direction to Austin for the first Longhorn football game of the season... This is what most of the fall is like for the Goodsells... Leighton and I were both so ready to get out of the car once we got to Mi Mi's...

That uniform scares most including Leighton!

The day of the first TAMU football game... We had lots to do before the game and Leighton got to join us in her new overalls her Mi Mi made... She was the hit of the day... Jeff calls it her costume! Whatever he wants to call it is fine with me... It brought the Aggies luck for sure! Thanks Mi Mi!

Mi Mi's girls

My grandfather, Dad, fell the Wednesday before we left and broke his hip... He had surgery on Saturday and we took Leighton by to see him... He is doing great and was very happy to see her... We also went to visit the Shenkir family to let them know that we were there for them during their time of grief with the loss of Frank... Leighton brought a smile to everyone's face... We love you Juanice!!!

I think she had enough... She fell asleep at the hospital which was our last stop before we headed back to Franklin to drop off the bird and pick up Lori for the season opener...

Gig'em Aggies!!!

The nationally famous Fighting Texas Aggie Band!

When we got home Leighton tried out her Exersaucer for the first time...
She loves it!

Just hanging out

This weekend my friend from college Jill came over with her little girl Lily to play... The girls had such a good time playing with one another...

Lily is so precious! Leighton had finished her bottle and it was sitting on the coffee table... While Lily was playing she found the bottle and decided that Leighton may need it so she brought it over and tried to feed the baby... What a sweetheart!
