What were we thinking?

While we were in El Campo last weekend we thought it would be good opportunity to try and get all three of the grandkids together for a picture. We thought Target might have better luck getting them to cooperate but we were WRONG!!! They were all being a handfull and it was impossible to keep all three of them still and smiling for a picture. Oh well, we have a few to show.

Look how much they look alike...



















The really are all great kids, they just decided to be naughty for the photo shoot!

10 months

I can't believe our baby is 2 months away from turning 1. This makes me sad because I love the baby phase but at the same time I am excited and looking foward to all the fun milestones to come.

Our HAPPY boy!!



10 Month Facts...

I gave him his first haircut. He has a lot of hair and needed it trimmed over his ears so that is just what I did. He did good but got a little squirmy. Next time might require a trip to the barber.

He is still having ear infections. We go back to Dr. next week. We might end up getting referred to ENT.

He loves to feed himself. We are giving him more table food but still eats baby food.

Wears size 3 diapers and 12 month clothes

Drinks three 7oz. bottles a day

He is babbling more and more. He favorite word is Dada. It is so fun to listen to all his little noises.

He is a monkey! He tries to climb on everything. He is good at getting into all our cabinets and drawers that aren't childproofed and he puts everything in his mouth. Is this the difference between a boy and girl?? Morgan was so easy when it comes to all of this. He is keeping us on our toes!

He is getting very close to trying to walk. He stands on his own at times. He might be walking by Christmas?!?

I am almost ready to move him to a big car seat. He weighs about 21 lbs. He loves the car but I can't wait to see him in a big car seat facing forward. He is going to love the view.

Here are a recent pictures of Graham at 10 months.

At Nonny's


Loves his baths...


Playing...


His favorite chair to climb on. SO proud of himself.


Playing Ring Around A Rosie...


The GREAT Big Sis. She does a great job at keeping him entertained.


She is growing up way too fast as well. We are looking foward to these next couple months. The holidays are sure to be fun-filled with our little ones.

Halloween weekend

Wow! What a different experience we had this year compared to last year. As some of you probably remember last year our sweet Morgan would not even begin to put her bumble bee costume on. Not sure what is was...the tulle skirt...the wings...her age....who knows??? Thankfully this year completely the opposite. She loved the bumble bee costume and was so excited to get dressed up...IT WAS SO FUN!! This was Graham's first Halloween and he was a trooper. He wore a monkey costume, which is very fitting. :)



We had a weekend full of activities. On Saturday we had a neighborhood Halloween party/cook out. Morgan spent the majority of time in the bounce house. It was a fun evening hanging out with our neighbors.

One tired monkey...

On Halloween afternoon we headed to church for Shine Fest, a Halloween carnival. More bounce houses, candy, face painting, tatoos, etc.

Hanging with Daddy at the petting zoo. They didn't want to get to close to the animals.

Snack time...



Putting with Pops...


Morgan and Daddy taking a turn...


Chicken toss...


We ended the afternoon with a Shine service with glow sticks that the kids loved.

And then it was time to Trick or Treat.

A quick pose before heading out...


Graham was ready to go...


Me and Gammy took the kids out to Trick-or-Treat while Daddy and Pops watched the World Series and passed out candy :)




Morgan was such a big girl. She loved going from house to house.


And she was so excited about all of her treats...


Sorting through the pile deciding what they wanted to eat...


I feel awful for just now getting around to posting about our Halloween. I am a SAHM, I should have plenty of time for blogging, right?? :) Not lately...we have been so busy. Oh well...at least I got it done today!!
