Fun Find

I stumbled onto this fun website www.trendytadpole.com they offer fun, cool clothes for infants and toddlers. I know many of you all have little ones at home or little ones on the way so I think you should check out what they offer. I won't be able to totally outfit a kido in their stuff but they offer great specialty clothes for baby shower gifts. Check it out!!

Texas Pride

Best cousin friends....

I would like to apologize to my fans for neglecting my blog. I really have had a crazy, busy summer (I know... no excuses). I sort of feel it is redundant to post things that other family members have already covered. So if you are truly dying to know what we have been up to please see my sister Emily's blog, Papa Randy's blog, and my Mother's blog I think that they have documented much of our fun summer already. Go ahead and check their blogs I will wait...

Ok now that you are all caught up I will fill you in on our last week. Like Em said in her blog the Clement family was lucky enough to talk our sweet niece Abby into coming home with us for about a week. We have tried to show Abby a good time here in Amarillo, of course she is from San Antonio where her family has a season pass to Sea World and endless children's museums etc. I did take Abby, Jake, and Riley to see the truly wonderful outdoor play "Texas". The play is set outside against the backdrop of Palo Duro Canyon. If you are not familiar with Palo Duro Canyon it is a state park that local folks call "the Grand Canyon of Texas" it is really very stunning. The play itself tells the story of some of the Texas Panhandle early settlers with much emphasis placed on the beauty and splendor of Texas. There was great dancing, singing, special effects and to top it off there is a beautiful firework display at the end. The kids LOVED it. I think they were the perfect age to really enjoy and understand it all. The main theme did not escape Abby, as we were leaving the amphitheater Abby said in a very reverent voice, "Texas REALLY is a special place". It was priceless!!

This was Jake's favorite character, he was the comic relief.

This guy wasn't even in the play he was just working the parking lot. All the other guys with parking duties wore jeans and a "Texas" polo shirt. If you are wondering... yes that is a gun in his holster.

This is Riley and Abby's favorite girl from the play.

They both thought Elsie was sooooo pretty.

Morgie's New Crib

Well it is with much wailing and gnashing of teeth (I don’t weep....too often) that I make this post. Papa randy hounds me to post something every day so here goes. This will keep him off of my back for one day at least. We have had somewhat of a busy summer and Eliza has not really had time to make any new posts. But come on, don't we all love Mitt? So anyway, this week I (Jeremy) was at a garage sale and saw a nice crib. Yes our little 8 month old Morgan up until this point has been sleeping in a bassinette and a porta-crib because we gave away our old crib about two years ago. We felt it was time to upgrade. It was a decent crib so I began to inquire about it. The lady wanted me to take the baby bedding too, which was set at a price of $50 by itself. I declined and she kept pushing saying, “it probably came from a designer baby boutique store and was probably $200 brand new”. Thinking, “yeah right lady, whatcha been smokin’?”, I did think it was nice so I engaged in negotiations. I ended up getting the crib and the bedding for $25 for both. It is Brandee Danielle premiere signature series bedding ( insert ooh’s and aah’s here cause the name means nothing to me). I did get curious and looked it up online though and a comparable set retails for $299. See… I knew she was full of it! haha
