Hook 'em!

Today was a big day at the Wiley house! We started the day with breakfast tacos. Man, my kids can tear those things up!



Ella's favorite part is the guacamole.




Next, the WAITING began...Ella loves to have company over!





FINALLY, Carole and Scott and the Turnipseed clan came to root on the Longhorns.








Of course, the game was entertaining, but the kids' shenannigans won over our attention. Ella and Kyle play so well together....Michelle and I are always amazed at how well the two of them get along. It's as though they just "get" each other. No bickering, no fussing, no wrestling...just plain old PLAYING together. Today, they decided to make mud cakes. Yes...you heard right. And, yes, we let them. They were so busy (and happy) that we figured whatever mess they made, we could clean up. Somehow, Makenna got caught up in the mess. I'm pretty sure she was an innocent bystander...but she's not ratting anyone out!





I tried to catch it on film, but I wasn't fast enough: Makenna wanted to be sure Seth was well-fed today, so she took it upon herself to keep him stocked up on potato chips. She must have made 20 trips from the chip bag to Seth and back again! Such a mother hen!


It was a close call, but the Longhorns pulled it off. Everyone left happy...and muddy!
