Catching Up

OK, I think I'll finally be caught up after this post!  Since Bennett, I've had a much harder time keeping up with the blog!  But just this week, SOMEBODY has started sleeping through the night, and so for the first time today in who knows how long, I haven't been dying for a nap!  So I'm actually marking things off my to do list - what a concept! :)
Enjoy all of the pics!

Worn out after 4 month shots!

Silly G trying on my shoes and trying to walk around!

Library date with Grace!

And lunch at Southwell's of course!

A treat for Graham!

I asked him to smile and say cheese, and he did this!

Bennett ready to cheer for the Bears' basketball team one Saturday!

Trent and Graham had a big boys trip to The Woodlands to go to the Hunting Expo, and Trent sent me this pic of my cute boy!

B and I went shopping while they were there, and I just happened to be by my favorite cupcake place!  I couldn't get a picture quick enough, though!  It didn't take us long to enjoy them!


Walking to the park, loving his pockets!

My view!




One of their favorite things to do!

Another trip to the park to play and have a picnic.  He insisted on carrying our lunch bag!

G's favorite way to go down the slide!


My cute lunch date!

He walked over to the pretend car and said, "Sit down Mama.  Drive to Sonic.  Graham get a chocolate milkshake!"  Oops - we might go too often! :)

He's obsessed with pockets right now and kept seeing which toys he could fit in his shirt!

Proud of the deer on his shirt!

A quick trip to HEB with both boys.  They were great!  My back was just breaking with Bennett in the bjorn, but if I had left him in the carseat I wouldn't have had any room for groceries.  I'm ready for him to be able to sit up in the front with Graham!

Mall play date with Grace!

Another walk to the park!  Can you tell how much we like to go?!  We were so thankful for the week of really nice weather we had.  It makes such a difference after nap time on whether we can play at the park or not.  I'm ready for some warmer weather again!


Cutie B!

New hair cut and color!  Always feels so good!
My mom came in town last week while Trent was in California.  We had so much fun with Nana!

We of course went to the park! :)

And we took advantage of the awesome weather and went to the zoo!










G showing Nana how he's so big and can ride his bike!

Watching Mickey on Nana's phone before bedtime.

This little mover is going to keep me on my toes!

My view on Friday evening while waiting for Trent to get home from the airport!

He loves to "hide" as Trent walks through the door!

A hair cut for G!

Helping Daddy in the yard!  Safety first! :)

On Sunday morning we had Bible presentation with Bennett at church.  We were so excited to have some of our best friends do it on the same day.  We can't wait to teach Bennett God's word.

Madison and Bennett checking each other out!

Madison asked, "Hair?  What's that?!"

On stage with Dr. Young

The picture on the big screen.  And the whole crowd went awwww!  



We love our sweet B so much!

It was also favorite team day at church so we had to get a pic of Ella and Graham!


Graham loving all of the attention at our neighbor's super bowl party!

I love that even after a rough day with lots of discipline, he wanted to cuddle with me all afternoon!

Oh my.  That face.  And that body.  


Somebody was excited when I picked him up from school and said we were going to Sonic to get lunch!

Brothers!  The way Bennett watches Graham and "talks" to him is just too sweet!


Library day with Grace!

These two are such sweet friends!  They love each other so much!

Doing the hokey pokey!

A full lap and a full heart!

And lunch at the mall!

Whew...we've had a fun and busy few weeks.  I can't believe it's already February!  Come on spring weather!

Cotton Bowl

I'm almost caught up on blogging!  I know the Cotton Bowl was over a month ago, but I just have to blog about it! 

We had such a fun trip to Dallas with the boys and Nana and Bop.  We were so excited to cheer for our Bears in another bowl game!
First stop on our road trip - lunch at Whataburger!

I'm so thankful we have such good travelers!

That night we had dinner at Patrizios in Highland Park Village and then went on a carriage ride to look at Christmas lights!  It was a yummy dinner and a festive and cold ride!

Bop and G!  At least Bop was cooperating!

Nana and B bundled up and waiting on our hot chocolate!
We couldn't find a hat big enough for sweet B's head! :)

Graham checking out the neigh neighs!


Bop made Graham a Baylor flag, and this is how they walked through the hotel every single time.

Pancakes for breakfast every morning was Graham's favorite!


On Wednesday morning we drove over to the Gaylord Texan to explore and see all of the great Christmas decorations.
Don't you love B's overalls?!  They are a cute hand me down from Caden!




Picnic lunch in the hotel room.
The 4 of us all stayed in one room for the week, and it could not have gone any better!  Both boys slept great, and so did we!  We had an adjoining room with my parents, which was a huge help.  After putting the boys down at night, we were able to go over there to watch TV and hang out.

Walking into the pep rally!

G always talks about the cheerleaders, but then of course he got super shy when we saw them!


All of us!

New Years Eve dinner at Mi Cocina - my favorite!

And a little football in the hotel room before bedtime!

My boys ready for the game!

They both did AWESOME!   B slept off and on, never cried, ate, and just took it all in!  G of course loved watching the game, colored some, ate french fries, and admired the band!

My cute parents!


Can't miss Shawn Oakman!




Still cheering for our Bears and singing the songs after a tough loss!  He loved running laps around the rooms!

The 4 of us piled in bed on Friday morning!

And brunch at Breadwinners before heading home.



What a fun trip!  Sic 'em Bears!
