Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween from the Dohner Family!

Our girls enjoyed dressing up as Pumpkin Fairies.

Really cute Pumpkin Fairies!

And thanks to Aunt Ginny's matching bag, Trick-or-Treating was properly accessorized.

Briar's Sweet Shoppe Birthday Party made the day twice as sweet, pictures to come soon!

Pink The New Black

With the holiday's just around the corner stores are full of "too-cute-to-resist-outfits". Which is why I need to thank Target for their over zealous stock; new pink outfit at church today were definitely a hit.

The Dohner Girls

While I take full credit for my girl's Sunday bests, the accessories were all Briezy.

Brie insisted we leave the store with the Disney Princess sparkly shoes, beaded bracelets and flower headband. Of course mommy had to put her foot down when it came to the earrings, purse and pink nail polish, somethings a two year old just doesn't need!

Friday Night Fun

I love fall, even fall in Texas. If I'm being honest fall in Texas isn't much of a fall, but us native Michigander are trying to make the best of it. How are we doing that? By leaving the city. This weekend Robert took a break for his CRAZY study schedule and we headed out for a family trip to Hondo's, South Texas Maze.

We had several chances to take pictures of the girls. Unfortunately none are of both girls looking.

After we took a few pictures we rode a hay rice to the pumpkin patch. This is where Robert informed Brie we would not buy a pumpkin, just look. (He thinks HEB pumpkins are cheaper.)

Once we were in the patch, Brie's sweet smile was too much for Robert to resist. Therefore we came home with this perfect, plumply, dumply pumpkin.

Soon after the hay ride we made our way into the rodeo themed corn maze. Brie was having a ball running along the path.

Briar enjoyed her stroll as well.

Eventually we discover our way out, with just enough daylight to enjoy the playground. It was there I took my last chance at a great picture. This what I got.

Someday we'll all be looking.

Friday night holds many memories I'll treasure for years. I thank God for my wonderful family and His work on our lives.

Happy First Birthday, Briar Noelle

In one year my sweet baby went from...

Time goes by way too fast.

From Sweet Shoppe to Swine Flu

The Swine Flu is ramped in San Antonio and it appears we have. I'm finally feeling better, but we're still holding out to see if the girls come down with it. In the mean time Briar's Big Birthday Extravaganza is canceled. Well just postpone until Halloween. I really want to be sad, but I'm just way too tired to care.
