Early Christmas Fun

December was another busy month. We started the month off with a little decorating, I put up the tree while Jason put up the red and white Christmas lights on the house. We got out Thomas the Train for the boys which they loved so much we decided to take them to North Park to see the huge "choo-choo" exhibit! What could be better?! We met Santa Clause for the first time...he's a pretty cool guy; he gave us candy canes. We spent a lot of time playing at Grammie and Pop's house...they have lots of very cool Christmas toys! We loved the Brio train, and couldn't stop kissing the Santa and Snowman yard art :)...the second half of the month will have to be another post!

Our first Santa visit...their faces crack me up...check out Reid's face...he's like "is this dude for real??" meanwhile all Grant needed was a candy cane to get over his fear of Santa.


Gigi and Pa-pa gave us this Thomas the Train last Christmas so we put it together for the first time this year...I think the faces say it all :) The boys played with this train for hours, and it was all they could talk about for the last 3 weeks. "Choo-choo, choo-choo"


Reid kicks it in the laundry basket while mom decorates the tree.


Practicing our Cheeeeese!!!!

Where do I start!

I haven't posted in almost 2 months, which completely overwhelms me and leaves me not knowing where to start so let's see...Thanksgiving...we celebrated with the Nicholson's at Nana and Papa's house in Stephenville. We played football, went on hay rides, and played with our cousins. Then we celebrated with the Spalding's in Trophey Club. It was a holiday filled with blessings!

Fall Fun

We've had a busy October, so busy in fact that I don't think I've blogged for at least a month! We started the month with some backyard fun with 'Misa Bailey'...she gives great pony rides, and even better kisses. We decided on Halloween costumes about mid month, which we of course had to try on to make sure we were ready for Aunt Nanny's Halloween Party. We had a ton of fun playing with all our cousins at the party. We did the Light the Night walk on October 19th in honor of Daddy. We celebrated Mimi's 87th birthday on the 26th! How lucky are we to have a Great-Great Mimi!! We love you Mimi, and will be coming over again soon to ride our big wheels. Reid got his first black eye when he slipped at school and hit his eye on the table...good thing it went with the halloween costume :) Of course we topped off the month with some good ole fashioned trick or treating...3 whole houses, and 2 of them were grandparents.

Play Date with Blake




Reid had a play date at Grammy & Pops' with cousin Blake. It was fun for the boys to spend some one on one time together. The boys totally enjoyed playing and Blake especially liked feeding Reid bread :) Sweet boys...

School Boys

The boys started Bowen Road Day School 3 weeks ago...the first week we shed many tears...mostly Reid and mommy, but no worries, because by the second week we were trotting to the door anxious to see Miss Michelle and Miss Tracy. The boys absolutely love it now, and love going to play with their friends, and make arts and crafts. Tuesday when we got to school I told the boys to hold hands in the parking lot. Reid grabbed Grant's hand tucked it under his arm and they bolted to the door...my heart melted and it made all the tears the first week totally worth it :) Grant goes to school

Reid insists on taking at least 2 babies to school this day. (we always take monkey with us)

Nana bought us cool nap mats to take to school, and mommy bought us rain boots! We love them both :)




Now I lay me down to sleep...

The boys have been learning to say their prayers before bedtime...I'm pretty sure Grant thinks he's playing 'hide and go seek' and he's the counter... Reid is getting pretty good at it, although we only make it about halfway through the prayer and then he's done :)





This has been a battle for a very long time, but Grant just can't keep his hands off the radio...you can see it all over his face in this picture...he wants to touch it soooo bad :)The boys are getting so big (in case you can't tell) but the other day I came in the kitchen and Reid had helped himself up on the stool and starting reading the mail...

We still love to play 'fix it fix it'....Reid working on his truck.




Packing for Chicago

I recently went to Chicago for our friends Ashely & Ben's wedding. The boys wanted to make sure I had everything I needed for the short trip so they packed me a suitcase full of Daddy's clothes :)

Handy Granty

Grant is nothing like his daddy when it comes to being able to 'fix it fix it'...he loves his new Home Depot tools, and immediately knew how to work the screw driver...I think we owe this thanks to his Pap!










Reid on the other hand might have gotten his skills from his Daddy...since he thinks a screw driver is a grooming utensil...hehe j/k Jason :)



Pecan Collector




Reid's favorite thing in the world these days is to go outside and hunt for pecan's...or "ball ball's" as he so affectionately likes to call them :)




Big boy beds

We recently changed the boys cribs into "toddler beds" since they were climbing out all the time. They thought it was the coolest, and way better for jumping on the bed...




...and not too bad for sleeping
