MFD - McCaskill Fire Dept

Aunt Lori bought the kids these ADORABLE fire hats - complete with hinged face shields! They love to wear them around the house when they play.
"Point me towards the fire... I'm ready!"

"What?!? Fire?... Where?"

Casen insists that his face shield must be down at all times - safety first!
It's really cute until you try to snap his picture & end up with 20 of these...


Lightening McQueen's the closest thing we have to a fire engine, but he works pretty well.


Nee-ar! Nee-ar! Nee-ar! On our way to the fire!!



"I make this hat look good!"


These are the chillest fire chiefs I've ever seen... Is it nap time yet?



Mommy & Miller - sleepy girl <3 p="p">
Aunt Suzy let us borrow a swing for Miller - she loves it! Especially since we put up a fence around her & the twins can't easily poke her in the eye anymore.

Casen working the shape sorter with Gram

He's getting really good at it!

Collins loves her Wampa... or as she says "Baaa-m-pa!"

Sweet Miller... 9 weeks old already!


When he was supposed to be napping one day, Casen raided the dresser drawer. When all was said & done he had 6 shirts pulled on over his head - he just couldn't figure out how to get them off!

Hanging out with Daddy!

Lainey & Mommy

Casen loves to imitate! He found Miller's carrier & decided to take the baby dolls for a ride :)

Michael & Caitlin's Wedding

CONGRATULATIONS Mike & Caitlin!!
Michael (Michelle's brother) & Caitlin got married on Nov 3rd in the Woodlands. 
It was a beautiful wedding, & we're so excited for them!

We had a great time celebrating! Michelle was a bridesmaid in the wedding, Bryan was an usher, and Casen & Collins were the ring bearer & flower girl. This is a family pic that Bryan's mom snapped for us. With all of the excitement, I didn't get a chance to take pictures until the kids were past cooperation mode!
Bryan's parents came to the wedding & then watched the kids for us so we could party - Thanks, Nana & Pop!

Casen & Collins love to dance! Aunt Lori & Mommy spent a good portion of the night chasing them around the reception room as they showed off their skills!

Happy Birthday Carson & Taylor!

Carson & Taylor turned 1 year old on October 20th. Suzy, Stu, & the babies came to Texas for Mike & Caitlin's wedding, so they threw a birthday party while the family was all together. Suzy outdid herself planning every creative detail of the western-themed party. From cowboy boots for the babies, hay bales & saddles for photos, animal-shaped balloons, "hamburger" cupcakes, & tons more... we had a blast!

Giddy up!!

Haha! Check out Collins - our little trick rider!

Great Grandpa Jay & Great Aunt Judy joined the party!

We borrowed Carson's & Taylor's Elmo & Big Bird dolls to keep the kids calm while we took some pics. Hey, whatever works!

My Uncle Gordy & Aunt Marsha were able to come. It was so great to see them & get to introduce them to the babies!

Cousins - Lori, Peter, Suzy (with Carson), Mike (with Miller), & Michelle
It was fun to visit with Peter & his family - we don't get to see them very often.

Uncle Mike meets Miller.

Before we left Houston, we were able to meet up with Michelle's college roommate, Laura, her husband Michael, & their daughter, Rebekah. Always great to hang out with good friends!
