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!

Haha! I think this was Suzy's idea... Welcome to the family, Caitlin!!

Gotta have a crazy pic... :)

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!

Sports Fans

Calling all sports fans!! Casen & Collins love to throw balls - they even roll or throw them to each other on occasion. Bryan never showed Casen how to "pitch", but one day he just started winding up to throw all by himself! We think he must be copying the baseball players he's seen on TV - how cute!!

Pitching practice with Casen. Of course, Collins tries to imitate her brother & tucks the ball up under her chin before she throws now :)

My parents have a basketball hoop for the kids to play with at their house. Casen did a great job of putting the ball in the hoop. He is so proud of himself - I love watching his excitement as he claps for himself!

Collins makes us laugh!!! This is her version of baby bball...

She may not be tall enough to make a basket, but she's a force to be reckoned with!

Miller's 6 Week Well Check

I took Miller to see Doctor KAE for her 6 week well check appointment on October 30th. 

She's getting SO big!! She weighed 10.2 lbs & measured 22 in long. She got her 1st big round of shots & handled them really well with only a little fussiness & slight fever for a couple of days afterwards.

 Miller barely fits on the scale - what a big girl!

"Mom, I have a question... do I really have to get shots today??"

 Sleepy girl

 Mommy & Miller with Dr. KAE

 Miller often smiles in her sleep. I love those precious sweet dream smiles!

 She is really strong & loves to lift her head to look around. It won't be long before she's watching every move Case & Lainey make!

Lucky Mommy!
