Happy Halloween!

So sorry it has been so long since I posted. With pecan season under way I am sure my posts will get fewer and fewer. My goal is to get in at least one a week.

Daily Dose of Dotty...

Dotty has not been feeling well lately. I think it is her teeth. Of course I have been saying that for the last 10 months now so who knows. She still only has one tooth right in the front on the bottom. It is getting huge! She looks like some old hill-billy woman who lost all of her teeth due to chewing tobacco or something. I think another tooth is trying to come in beside it but who knows...I am just a mother and not a dentist or a psychic!

I took Dotty to take some Halloween pics by Shannon and Holly Flemming's house the other day. Shannon and Holly are too sweet to Dotty. They just listen to her scream and still try to love and hug on her. We are so lucky to have them as friends. Dotty did okay as you can see in the good shot. It only took about 100 pics to get that one. But as you can also see she was not happy to be getting her picture taken. She is such her Daddy in that respect. I love having my pic taken...just make sure you take it from the waist up, on my good side, and give me 10 minutes to fix my hair and makeup! : )

All in all things are good. She is getting so big. Running around everywhere! I don't know what we will do when it is too cold to go outside. She loves the outdoors! She is learning so many words now. Of course my mom swears she can say half the dictionary by now but I think it has to do with her hearing (or lack thereof) and the fact that she is just a proud grandma. Although Dotty did look at me the other day and say "coke"...Dr. Yap would kill me if he knew what was in her sippy!

This, That, and the Other...

Tony and I have done some fun things lately. We went to the UT-OU game a few Saturdays ago. What an awesome experience and such a good game. We are going to hear Willie Nelson tonight and then go to see the Cowboys play tomorrow. We are looking forward to a "date" weekend. We also can't wait to hear Willie but the game may be not much fun depending on how the Cowboys play.
Tony is about to start basketball games so life as we know it will be filled with basketballs and nuts from now until about Feb. I just hope Dotty will grow up to like at least one of the two (and Tony hopes for basketball!).

Please keep my Aunt Betsy in your thoughts and prayers. She has lost hearing in her left ear suddenly and they are still planning on doing some tests to see if they can find out the cause. I know the possibilities are worrying her and her family so please say a prayer if you are so inclined.

Have a nice weekend and if I don't get to blog again until after the fact...Happy Halloween!

Homecoming

Dotty went to her first ever Homecoming Friday night and it was actually the first ever football homecoming for Byers too. She did pretty well. She had a little mum and everything. She did not even try to take it off all night long. She did however want to get on the field and "play" with the other "kids" and she also could not figure out why her Daddy, Papa, and Uncle Jarrod could not hold her (they were working the chains for the game).

Then on Saturday we ended up at Cabela's and Dotty had fun playing in all the fish and snake toys. She also loved looking at the stuffed animals. We heard a lot of "growls" and "grrrrs" that day. Plus she knows what an elephant says but you really have to see her arm motion for that and I am not sure how to spell the sound she makes!
