Chandlers First Birthday Celebration/Baptism

Two big celebrations, one very special day!  This was the way to do it!  I had been feeling guilty we had not had Chandler baptized sooner but it just kind of got away from us and then her birthday started creeping up....SO we decided to combine the celebration and it was terrific!  It was definitely a gloomy, rainy Saturday and we are so very thankful for our family and friends who braved the weather to come help us celebrate our precious ONE year old!  We started at the church for her baptism and then everyone came over for lunch and cake after:)

Hello Gorgeous!  Chandler wore the same gown I wore when I was baptized

Chandler was so excited Grandma and Grandpa were able to come in town from Dallas!

Chandler with her amazingly sweet Godparents Aunt Christi and Uncle Keith came all the way in from Colorado to share in this special day!

"Happy Birthday Dear Chandler, Happy Birthday to you!!!"

Of course everyone wants to help blow out the candles!

Oh how these kids love sweet cousin Chloe!

Chandler got to play with baby Faith too!

Eating her very first birthday cake!

We are so thankful and grateful to all of our family and friends who came and helped us make this birthday celebration special for our big one year old Chandler!!!

Happy Halloween 2015!

Another successful and super fun Halloween in the books!  The kids were pumped and Brayden was a pro at trick or treating this year!  We stayed in our neighborhood and went trick or treating with our friends.  Here are some pics of this years Halloween! 

Three kids, pretty much impossible to get everyone looking anymore!

I think they were a little excited to leave?!

A glimpse into our future?!

I love these trick or treating action shots, they were SO happy and excited!  My mouth hurts from smiling and laughing at them so much!

Chandler was SO good, she pretty much just sat in the wagon and chilled the entire evening and didn't complain one bit!

Hey girl!

That way!

A little break..we walked a long way!

Checking out their loot!

We all had such a fun day! And now I think its time for a candy detox!!!

October 2015

October is such a fun month when you have little ones, so many fun activities and so much excitement for Halloween!  Here is what we were up to this month while we gear up for Halloween!

These two are super tired by Thursday afternoons, three days with no naps!  We have been spending the afternoon with movies and TV to veg out to!

I think Chandler is definitely enjoying our one on one time while the big kids are at school and she is also enjoying all of the toys to herself!

More T-ball!!!

 I got to take both kids on their very first field trips!!!  We walked across the street to the Boerne pumpkin patch and did some other Fall nature activities as well.

Chandler loves to tag along too!

I took the kids to the pumpkin patch near our house as well for the obligatory pumpkin patch pics but also there are several activities and fun things for the kids to do while they are there

I let them pick any pumpkin they wanted to take home and paint as long as they could carry it to the car themselves!

It's so funny looking at the difference!

Pumpkin painting!

We had our "playgroup" friends over for a little Halloween costume party and the kids were super excited to wear their costumes and pop the piñata!

They loved being part of the piñata stuffing

Brian got to spend a morning at the kids school doing pumpkin carving with Dad!

Oh how we love the kids new school!  We have been so happy with our time there so far and love all of the extra experiences the kids enjoy at SHEEP.  The Thursday before Halloween the entire school went trick-or-treating on Main Street and to the nursing home across the street.  They seriously shut down Main Street so our littles can get across the street safely, how cool is that?!  GaGa so graciously came with us to help me wrangle these three crazies all morning, man was I glad to have her there!  Here are some pictures of our super fun morning!

What a fun filled October!  And I think we definitely got our moneys worth out of our Halloween costumes this year!!!: )
