More pictures!!

I am behind on blogging.  The boys and I have been on the road a lot lately. In fact, I just leave the suitcases out these days.  Hopefully after the holidays I will get caught up!!

Here are some recent pictures of all we've been up to:

The boys love playing the piano at Mimi's house!


 Mimi was practicing her solo she sang at church one morning, with a very captive audience!
Helping Mommy shop
 One night the boys and I shared a bed together. I was sandwiched in the middle, but I didn't mind. :)  When I came into bed, Reid's feet were up at the pillow and his head toward the end of the bed.
 Mimi and Papa Jud have a bucket full of dress up clothes which the boys really have fun with!




 Have I mentioned that both of the boys can get out of their car seats?!?  Connor undoes the buckles but at least knows to wait until the car is in park.  Reid shimmy's his way out while I'm driving!!

 Helping Mimi make sugar cookies.
 The box was much more entertaining than the actual toy that was in there!



 MeMaw and Connor making turkey brownies.
 Reid had one too!

 Connor's Thanksgiving Feast.  His Indian name was Sitting Bull. 


 Josh and I got to have a much needed weekend just to ourselves!!  We drove to Fredericksburg for the night and had a really great time.  We visited a couple of wineries, ate some delicious German food, and even went to a live oldies show.   We made it back home by 9:30am the next morning and I was able to put up all the Christmas decorations before picking up the kids! 


 Reid got his first haircut by someone other than Daddy.  He was a champ!

 Mesmerized by the Dora video!
 He also had an ear infection but ice cream at the drive thru made it much better!

 All this traveling, makes two tired little boys!


I leave you with more Connor-isms (at least the ones I can remember!)

Gront - Christmas lights that look really cool
Halloweening someone, as in "I just Halloweened you" - jumping out and surprising someone
Sassyphone - an animal that makes a kissing sound.  Connor would like to get one and name it Zazzy.
Man-gers - Animals that are super fast and get vultures.  They have spoons for hands that they use to hit the bad animals.
Zoogies - Bad animals that throw rocks.
Robey - a blue animal that sometimes lives on the farm
Swishy - a sound that is made when rubbing two cymbals together.

While riding in the car, Connor turned to Reid (who was just looking out the window) and said, "Reid, open your mouth and take a chill pill!" 

Love these boys! They always keep me laughing!!

MORE...So Much to be Thankful For

First of all, we are thankful to be BAYLOR fans!!
After I posted about Thanksgiving, my cousin, Kim, sent me more pictures from that day. So here again are more reasons we are thankful! 









 Granddaddy had a huge smile on his face watching and laughing with his great-grandsons!
I don't know if you can tell in this picture what Connor was doing but...when you gotta go, you gotta go!  Check out Mimi's expression!!
