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!!!: )

Chandler's First Birthday/Smash Cake Photo Shoot

We did the whole smash cake photo shoot with Brayden and Sterling so naturally we had to let Chandler dig in too!  She really hadn't had many sweets before this first taste of cake so she was incredibly serious about her cake exploration and tasting!  Our sweet friend and photographer Kim with Modern Bebe did her magic as usual and the pictures turned out perfect!  I am IN LOVE, Hope you enjoy as much as I did!

We got a few great shots pre-cake:

Love this smile, this picture truly shows off her personality!







Cake Time!





Seriously, after her first taste she went straight in with the face!  Hilarious!


Seconds later, face in again!!!


OK now this was pretty hilarious too...Check out these pouts!!!!  This is a picture of their cake dreams literally being crumbled in Chandler's tiny hands!  They were waiting (sort of patiently) for their promised taste of cake too!!!

Utter.Perfection...

I have NEVER seen a cake be demolished like this in my life!

And finally a smile!


Did all the damage she could do..and done!
This sweet child gets to eat cake again tomorrow she'll be ONE!!!  (How I feel about that on a whole other blog post!)

September 2015

We spent the first weekend of our month down in Port A, everyone loved it when PaPa took us on his boat over to our very own private beach!






I'm not sure who was more excited, Brian or Brayden but Brayden is finally old enough to play t-ball!    He started his first season this month and is playing for the Phillies!  We all just love going to watch him play!
Doesn't get much cuter than a little boy in a baseball uniform!


Definitely his biggest cheerleader!



Here are a few more pics from this September:

We had a little paranoid call to 911 this month but all was ok and we definitely did not have a gas leak :)  

Brayden loved getting to explore the fire truck though!

Chandler is really starting to want to play with the big kids and Sterling is starting to tolerate it a little better!

This girl loves walks in the wagon and the stroller!

We have been eating as many meals as we can outside lately with the nicer weather

Sibling love :)

Chandler is trying to take some steps!

We love baby Faith!

Diaper Babes!



Breaking news....Sterlings teachers actually got her to take a nap at school today!  Sweet girl!

We had a fun time at Cibolo Nature center with friends and luckily did not see the alligator that is supposively  roaming!

Brayden and Demi had had the best time exploring together



Bring on October, Cooler Weather, and the holidays!
