The Donaho's

We support using cheap labor around here... helping Daddy... Playing in the mud. All this rain has made much of our backyard a swamp.

On July 3rd, we went to the Arlington Parade. This was the first time we've actually been at home on the 4th, so we weren't sure what to do. Even though the weather was unpredictable and the parade started at 9 a.m., we got up very early to take our chances on the weather and check out the parade. Everyone told us to arrive early to get a parking spot and a good seat, so we left our house at 7:30 a.m. I'm so glad we took our chance with the weather, because we had a blast. The weather was very comfortable and the parade was the perfect length. Garrett was in awe the whole time - kind of transfixed. He sat still the entire time and just starred at every float. I don't even think he cracked a smile, he was so serious. The theme was America ~ yesterday, today & forever, so there was lots of vintage floats. There also was a huge representation of Boy Scouts since this is their 100th Anniversary. I really hope Garrett wants to be a Cub/Boy/Eagle Scout someday:) We c...

That is what Garrett constantly asks (translation = where did the moon go?)

Brylee came over on Sunday to play while Lisa and Curtis had a work function. She and Garrett had a great time. They really get along great. They both took naps, and initially I tried putting them both in the same room with Garrett in his crib and Brylee on her nap mat. As soon as I shut the door, Brylee was up at Garrett's crib and they were talking to each other and exchanging puppies. As soon as I opened the door to check on them, Garrett acted like he was asleep and Brylee dove back onto her napmat. Needless to say, they soon went to seperate bedrooms for naptime. It was pretty entertaining to hear them chat, though. After naptime with their respective puppies. Popsicles after pizza. They each ate 2 slices of pizza. Yesterday morning, I heard someone attempting to play Zane's mandolin, which was strange because Zane was working. When I walked into the office, this is what I found: My little music man. He even put on the shoulder straps:) Daddy and Garrett before bedtime...

We have recovered from vacation and trying to get pictures and curtains hung in the house. Here are some photos from last week.... Garrett and Zane as we ride the ferry from Port Aransas to the mainland. We were sad to leave, but happy to get home and officially unpacked. Garrett pretending to drive. We stopped in Luling at the farmer's market. Garrett took Sophie for a walk early one morning last week. He is suck a stinker. He unrolled an entire roll of toilet paper.  Using a mustard packet as his "phone". Story time at the Library with Morgan. Grace's 2nd Birthday Party. Brylee and Garrett hanging out on Friday night.
