On the Eve of the Big Game...

Clearly Amy is still undecided on who to cheer for...and yes, we are working on it! Just seems Opa and Grandpa are trying to sway her!

A&M???
UT??? And yes, we will work on getting her to cheer for the right team tomorrow...but with Opa here, we will have to see who she picks!

Our new entertainment!

I have always been the mower at our house...Matt does the edging and blowing and I push the mower...well with over an acre, my part just got easier! And I have a little helper now!

Crazy driver!!!
Later, she took the ipod and was jamming out while she was "mowing"...only a few more years, until I can be on the porch and she can mow!!!

Up next...Thanksgiving with my family at our new house! 6 kids that are 5 and under...should be exciting!!!

Halloween!

A few pictures of halloween...it was really fun this year, Amy got into trick or treating and had a blast...she now asks every night for Halloween treats :)

Pumpkin patch at Amy's school...
Ready for Trick or Treating...our little donut and donut-hole...compliments of Mimi's sewing...thanks again Mimi! They were super cute :)

A lot of green...Daddy and I look rough...clearly moving was rough on us!
Ready to go!!!
Brett trying to eat his donut!

Wow...what a month!

Wow...just a crazy month of October...such a blur! The good news is we are officially moved! And are loving the bigger house! There is actually room for everything :) And thanks to some lovely friends and the best grandmothers in the world, we are almost set up! The kids rooms are already painted even! On to a mess of pictures to sum up our month!

Brett sleeps face down and this cracked us both up the other night... Princess Amy on the bicycle...clearly can't decide whether or not she wants to be a girly-girl or a tom-boy!


Amy was a huge help packing and moving! She labeled several boxes and packed up all her toys!

Brett spiked his hair up like a monster :)

Last trip to the park at the old house...

Brett tried out the swing...he wasn't too sure about it!



We also headed to Dallas for Ryan's second birthday! It was such fun! Uncle James, Aunt Courtney and Caylee moved back to Texas (YEA!) and stopped by Dallas on the way down to Corpus! Amy loved playing with Caylee and of course the boys! Although you wouldn't know it from this picture :)

Much better...just needed Ryan!

Caylee playing with Brett...

Tyler pushing Amy...super safe!

Oma, Opa and all of the great grandshildren! There were too many cute ones...so here are a few! (Mostly so Oma can see them all!)

Caylee - almost 5, Amy - 2, Ryan - 2, Jake - 5 weeks, Brett - 5 months, Tyler - 4

Side note, girls are so sweet...Caylee and Amy just grabbed hands! They know they are out numbered, so they better stick together!




And with all the grandkids...
Mimi and her grandkids! Still working on getting a good one...





Mimi and I also took the littles to the zoo for Zoo Boo...such fun! Amy and Brett enjoyed it! He got to ride in the stroller like a big boy and was so excited to see everything...he kept kicking his feet the whole way!

Pumpkin patch! (Brett was not too sure of the grass or the death grip, hug)

His face was cracking us up...Mimi tried everything to get him to smile...no such luck!

Brett eating on his pumpkin...

Carousel!!!


Fish exhibit...look at those legs!

In the tunnel...one of a 100 times...

Amy has also taken up feeding Brett...such a helper!

Amy helping move Mommy's truck!

Ready to go...

On a roll tonight...Comparison

Another comparison of the littles...We don't think they look too similar anymore...and of course Brett has a ton more hair...We also noticed how awful our kitchen was today when we were going back through these pictures! Wow...I am glad that remodel is over!

Brett at 4 months...
Amy at 4 months...(I miss those pretty radish door knobs!)

Exersaucer...

A few random pictures of what we have been up to!

A random one of Amy rocking herself to sleep...or not!
Last weekend Amy made a blackberry cobbler...delicious! She did have to sample several blackberries!

Amy is going to gymnastics on Wednesday mornings and LOVES it! Mimi and Grams take turns taking her and everyone is enjoying it! She seems so big in her leotard or "leolard" as she calls it! Here she is after wearing her leotard all day so that Daddy could see it :)


This morning Daddy got the Exersaucer down and just like Amy girl...Brett is a huge fan! Amy had a great time showing him how to use all the toys!
Checking out his toys...
A big smile for the camera...finally :)
Amy showing him how to use it...
A little deer in the headlights look :)
And of course, it is super fun for a big girl too!

Meeting Baby Jake...

Labor Day weekend we headed to Dallas to meet our newest little nephew, Jake William, or as Amy says "Jake-ee Boy"...she was very excited to see him! Although didn't want anyone else to hold "her Bretty Boy" :)

Sorry, the pictures are all out of order and I am too lazy to fix them!

Holding him for the first time!

Mimi and all the boys!

The Bonds and the boys!
Oma and Opa loving on Jake!
Mimi and Jake!
The big kids got fudgesicles...giant mess, but tasty!
Aunt Trish and Baby Jake!
We stayed with Aunt Meredith and Uncle Brandon! So fun! They made us homemade donuts...delicious! We also played Wii before bed...Brandon helped Amy with a little dancing :) And per Aunt Meredith's instructions, I did not include her in the picture!
Mimi and all the grandkids...this was the "best"...wow...
One of about 30 attempts...
