MELODY TURNS 2!

For Melody's 2nd birthday we had a party at the Flower mound Pumpkin patch. All the family came and also some of her friends Jamie, Gavin, Gracin, Hayden, Hudson, and Ava. They played in bounce houses, rode on a pony, hay ride, and other rides. The kids had a great time and got to try out their Halloween costumes for the first time.

COLORADO VACATION

We spontaneously went on a vacation to Colorado Springs, Co. for 4days and stayed at a cabin at the koa campground. While we were there we visited the Pro Rodeo hall of fame, Manitou cliff dwellings, Garden of the Gods, Seven Falls, and took the cog railway to the top of Pikes Peak (elevation 14,000 ft). Dustin and I both experienced altitude sickness on top of the mountain and decided that we liked living a little closer to sea level. Suprisingly the kids handled the 13 hr car drive like champs and proved they will be able to handle the traditional Green family vacation to Chapman lake next summer with the grandparents.

OKTOBERFEST 09'

BYE BYE CRIB

Melody graduated to toddler bed for the first night. I'm afraid it was too easy. She went to sleep without a peep and didn't hear her until 7:00 am when she was running down the hall.

MINDY'S BIRTHDAY

1ST CIRCUS FOR ENTIRE FAMILY

I heard the Barnum and Bailey circus was coming to town and new I had to get tickets, for the kids, but also J.D. and I have never been to a circus before. Mindy is here and so it worked out perfect. We all loved the motorcycle act where they fit 7 motorcycles in one cage and you can never go wrong with the elephant and tiger acts. Melody and Dustin loved it, and kept dancing everytime the music was playing, but by 10 pm and the end of the 2 1/2 hr show we got our fill of circus acts.

NEW KID IN THE FAMILY

We have a new kid in the family called "Bella." She is a very pregnant goat expecting more baby kids any day. This will be a wonderful experience for Dustin and Melody. Bella acts like a dog in that she comes when you call her name, she loves you to pet her, and lays right by the back door when your inside. When you leave her she starts baaaing...she is so cute.
