(I wanted to do their handprints inside the pumpkins, but that’s almost impossible these days.  So… footprints it is)

Ear infection

At the boys’ 6 month appointment (September 27th), we found out Gage had his first ear infection and I had no idea.  OOPS!  I’ll blame that on him getting his first two teeth in at the same time and being a first time momma who is still learning all these sicknesses!  Speaking of first time momma, of course I had to take a picture of Gage taking his antibiotic.  He loved it and didn’t mind taking it everyday.  Here are the memories…

We did it, buddy!  We got through our first ear infection together! :)

Dallas Arboretum

Last Monday, we loaded up and headed to the Dallas Arboretum with several mommy’s and their babies.  When I say loaded up, I mean packed the tahoe down with 2 babies and a toddler (Quinn), the pump, bottles, a cooler with waters and our lunch, two BOB strollers, and my camera of course!  We got there around 10:15 and went straight to the pumpkin patch for pictures.  The boys needed to eat by 11, so we couldn’t waste too much time.

Of course, when you have 10 mommas plus their one or two children, pictures with everyone at the same time is almost impossible. We did the best we could and had some fun too!

The trip there and back with all the boys sitting next to each other was… interesting!

We had so much fun, I just wish it was a little closer so we could go more often!

Side note: all these pictures were taken in about 10 minutes.  Then, they were done and it was time to eat.  They didn’t want to pose for anymore pics, even with their momma!  They are too young to be starting this. :)  Oh well, maybe next time!

Love my lil pumpkins!

Visit from the Schleider’s

Our good friends, the Schleider’s, came to visit us last Sunday through Wednesday, and we had so much fun!  They moved to Houston a year and a half ago so it is always good to see them when they are in town (so glad Robby had some work to do here so they could come visit). 

Quinn, their little boy, is 20 months old and into discovering everything.  He did so well around Gage and Graham though.  He played with them, and their toys, and loved to hold them, sometimes even ride them.  :)

Katie and I stayed busy chasing them around, so we weren’t able to take too many pictures.  Here are a few…

  I just know these 3 boys will be good friends growing up, I mean, they really have no choice. :)

We had so much fun, Katie and Quinn! Can’t wait to see yall again!

In to EVERYthing!

Wow!  To say we have been busy around here is an understatement!  I am LOVING every minute home with my boys but they sure are keeping me busy!  Gone are those days where I sit them down to play while I work on the house, laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc.  I have to keep a close eye on these two Gage, Graham is there for support and sometimes an extra hand.  Here are some pictures that I was able to capture while chasing them around! :)

Baylor’s Biggest Fans

I try not to let the boys watch t.v., for so many reasons.  But on “Football Saturdays,”  when mommy needs to run errands and daddy is in charge of the boys, (and Baylor is on) this is usually where you can find all 3 of my boys.
