Stinkers

That's what these two are.  Griffin (or as Clark calls him, Giffy) and Clark
They were born almost a month to the day apart and are SO much alike.  Little bruisers, we call em.  :)

My good friend, Kimberly, took this photo of them the day she kept Clark for us so we could take AnnMarie to the state fair and Tech/BU game.  THANK YOU is not enough!!  As you can see, he had a wonderful time, as always and was taken care of very well!  I never worry one bit when he's with her!  He came home with his very first craft project---darling little pint sized pumpkin with his handprints on it to make a spider.  He also got to go to the pumpkin patch and donut shop.  (And Mrs. Kimberly took three kids on all these outings and managed to get the toddlers in costumes!)
She is such a sweet and thoughtful person.  I'm VERY thankful for our friendship. 

Can't wait to make many more memories with these chubby boys!

Four Boys, Football, and THE Ferris Wheel



A couple weekends ago we had a fun filled weekend in Dallas!  I headed up early Saturday morning with Angie so we could help shower her sister, and of course my bestie, Caryn, because she's having twins!  The twins will bring her offspring total up to a whopping four--and all of them boys!  Didn't she pick the cutest names?




Friends since 7th grade!



The radiantally beautiful mama!



After the shower Angie, Kacey, Nancy, and I raced to the Cotton Bowl via DART.  Thanks to Angie's smooth talkin skills, I was able to get into the fair without my ticket.  (Forgot to get it from Mom before I headed north.  Oops!)




Guns up!  We were able to score two of these cute foam football helmets for the boys.  Speaking of Bubba--he stayed behind with our good friends, the Polnicks.  That will get its own post!




It was a beautiful day!



After the game, Sean headed back to Waco to get Clark while my parents and I along with Luke and Caroline took AnnMarie to the state fair for the first time.  I really wanted to take her on the ferris wheel if she wasn't scared!  Luckily, the looooong line moved pretty fast.





Not scared at all!  I was expecting at least a whimper! :)




It's so high!




The view from the top





I loved Big Tex's boots!





Made a beeline for the mermaid ride.  Big hit!





And then all of a sudden here comes the military marching band through the fair.  I love that sound!




Best snack of the day:  pineapple ice cream!  aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh it was SO good





...Still love rOlLeR cOaStErS...




AM does too!  As soon as we started up the first hill, she put her hands up! 




Not too sure about the airplane ride.  I have to say that I was so impressed with how she just pointed out the ride she wanted to do and got in line all by herself and rode with strangers! :)  Poor thing didn't have any cousins or friends there to ride with!  Would have never done that when I was a kid...





The Newlyweds!  Loved getting to visit with them---even if it was walking miles back and forth across the fairgrounds!
What an exciting and jam packed weekend.  The State Farm shootout between the Red Raiders and Bears has become a Jurgensen family tradition.  So far---TT-2, BU-0. 
Can't wait till next year!



15 months

Our little son is now FIFTEEN months.  The time just keeps flying by!  Every time I look up, it's time to post again. Yes, the days are LOOONNNNGG, but the years are s.h.o.r.t.  :( 
We gave him this box of Uncle Lukey's old Duplo blocks to play with, but (something AM had never done) he threw everything out and sat in it.  :)  boys.



He found a hiding place under the sink in Fort Davis.  And this one looks JUST like my baby pictures.  I really need to get those out!



Cousin Brooksy got to stay with us one day!  They are the cutest things you've EVER seen when they're together.



It's becoming more and MORE common for me to catch little brother in random places getting in trouble, and this is a perfect picture of him right now---hair a mess, snotty/drolly/dirty face, running wIlD. :) 

Because the baby book is collecting dust, I will document here:
weighs 28 lbs, 32 1/2" tall
got shots and did not even cry or flinch!  wow.  mommy and the nurse were stunned

looooooooooooooves a banana every morning with breakfast
has dropped the morning nap---it's pretty hard without it some days though!
looooooooooooves big sister the most.  always gets the most laughs
loooooooooves to dance---you should see those chubby thighs bounce!
looooooooves to terrorize the house.  can never be left alone!

remains to be the cutest, squishiest toddler around.  mommy gets as many snuggles in as i can.  he is not allowed to grow up!



14 months

Well, since Bubba officially turned FIFTEEN! months today, I thought I should probably post about him turning 14 months.  :)  Lately I find myself catching a glimpse of Clark and thinking, "He absolutely positively looks oLdEr than he did yesterday!".  I can't stand it.  Now I know what everybody means when they say---The days are long, but the years are short.  Time is f..l..y..i..n..g...
At the weenie roast enjoying the tiger chair Mimi gave him.

My country boy

Sister sneaks kisses too

Mess #432 generated by you know who

Give him a bowl of water and all the freedom in the world to get as dirty as he wants, and you've got a happy camper.



He wants sooooooo badly to play soccer for "The Jaguars".  (aka big sister's team)
The months are absolutely moving at light speed.  Everytime I look up it's the start of new one.  boo hoo!  My little man is growing up!  I am loving this age though.  So sweet---words are coming out, love of mAmA is coming out (secretly--well not now---love it!), wiiiiiiiiiilllllddddddddness is coming out (uhoh), and I'm eating it up.  (and never getting a second's break with this one!)
Love you to the moon and back, stinker pot boy! :)



Fort Davis

 We recently took a trip to Fort Davis, TX with the Fords/Svobodas to celebrate Grandmommy and Granddaddy's 60th wedding anniversary.  Wow!  What an amazing event to celebrate! 

My two precious angels.  I love this one!

 Ok, Blogger's new format is not being nice to me so I apologize for these out of order photos!

The cows were a little scared of us...

 We had fun enjoying the nice weather and watching them.

Having trouble with these...

Little fisher

The cute couple!  Thank you for being wonderful role models for us!  We're so thankful for you two and are thankful for your marriage.

Even though it got nice and cool at night, it was still warm enough to swim during the day.  I'll take this for the backdrop to my swimming pool anyday!

The whole crew!

Goodnight, moon.  A beautiful place with a beautiful family! 

AnnMarie with her sweet cousins: Emily, Madison, Mackenzie

After dinner we sat around the campfire and talked.  So relaxing!

Clark liked to growl back at the animals in the lodge.

Thank you for a wonderful trip, Grandmommy and Granddaddy!
