September/October 2012

Woohoo Fall! We are enjoying school, the cooler weather and the start to the holidays and all the fun this time of year brings. Here are some of our pictures:

Lil Bit:

Its a lot of work getting everyone to smile at the same time:

These boys are always trying to find interesting things to do:

What is it about boys and dirt?

Pumpkin Patch time!

Yaya and Bit:

Walking to the County Fair:

Its so fun watching him enjoy things more and more each year- he's becoming such a big boy!

Peek-a-Boo!

This makes me cringe (fingers in the mouth)... I'm sure they disinfect after every ride.

Family bike/run time:

My partner in crime:

 Playdate with DD- we went to see Finding Nemo in 3D, ate some lunch and got some FroYo. I don't know who was more exhausted afterwards, my kiddos or DD. :)

DD was nice enough to let the boys play with all her electronic devices:

Spoiled!

First one down:

 Snuggle time!

We went to see Thomas the Train... funny thing is, I didn't get a picture of Thomas while we were there. But here are some cute pics of the boys' reaction to seeing him:

ALL ABOARD!

They got in trouble with the conductor several times for doing this:

Somebody took after daddy- Bryson working on his Jeep:

More Pumpkin Patch Fun:

Hayride:

This place is genius! I've always tried taking them to a normal hair salon/barbershop or buzzed cut at home, but this time we made the trip to one of those kid only hair places... worth every penny spent. They didn't cry, they sat still and they got a great hair cut! If you had seen how my boys reacted before, you would understand how amazing this is. 

 Already helping out with construction stuff:

Family camp out! We had SO much fun!

Weenie roast and S'Mores of course!

  

Night hay ride through the grave yard... spooky!

Fun bed time stories too! 

 The boys did great! Looks like there will be more camping adventures in the near future!

Brayden likes to randomly dress up... on this day he wanted to be a reindeer apparently. 

Deep in thought about something:

Dinner Date:

Complete with some ice cream:

Pumpkin carving time!

Fisherman and Nemo, ready to go trick or treating!

The trick or treating crew (It was so cute... Brayden's little tail would wag as he walked- & he did so good walking up to all the houses and saying "trick-or-treat!"):

Happy Halloween! We had a train jack-o-lantern of course:

Summer 2012

I took a little break from blogging this summer, so this post will have all our pics from June, July and August. We had a great summer and we hope you did too! 

Slip-n-slide fun:

Bryson's Swim Lessons:

My favorite boys:

Brayden moved in with Bryson! And he does great on the bottom bunk- anything to be close to his big bro. Sometimes he even sneaks up the ladder and tries to cuddle with Bryson. So cute- at least I think so- not sure about Bryson. :) 

Brayden's Swim Lessons: 

Walking bridge- waiting for a train to pass by:

Indoor picnic (Too hot outside!):

Lemonade stand- such a fun day!:

Tristen came and stayed with us for a couple days

We went on a nature scavenger walk:

Rode the train at the park:

Went for a boat ride:

All the captains of the boat:

Painting the fence:

Bryson's first catch- but if you ask him, it was MUCH bigger than the pic shows: 

Silly boys:

Bryson started school- mean mommy put him in summer school for a month haha! 

Bryson went to a sports camp during the summer: 

T-Ball:

 Soccer- he's so talented, he can run, kick the ball and wipe his nose on his shirt all at the same time!

 Obstacle Course:

Getting their workout in on the treadmill:

Water Balloons!

My little Olympian:

He's super fast in his Lightning McQueen shoes:

This photo may not mean much to any of you, but it is the FIRST TIME EVER Bryson got into a jumpy castle and he didn't freak out or fight it. He's growing up! (That only took 3 1/2 years)

And Brayden seems to have the same fear (here he is crawling out, screaming) Oh well... maybe a couple more years. 

Love spending time with my boys:

Eating out is always an adventure:

Fun with shaving cream:

Port Aransas Trip:

 These boys love their trains, even at the beach:

Beach fun:

 If you are standing anywhere near Bryson on the beach, you will probably get sand thrown on you, sorry. 

 Digging for treasure:

Can you say humidity? It was so bad, my other camera wouldn't even turn on.

More Beach fun:

Brayden's pretending to be asleep, playing with Devin:

Love looking back on all these pictures, we had such a fun summer. How blessed we are!
