Have a great weekend!

Batter Up!!!

While Jackson was still in town the two boys went outside and ended up "playing" baseball

Did I mention they used Aidan's head as the ball? (Click on pic for a better view although this picture truly does not do it justice!)

It was an accident, but if you know Jackson you know that the kid can swing. Had it been the other way around, Aidan hitting Jackson, I am sure the damage would have been relatively mild. :) Luckily, a trip to the hospital was not required and a few minutes later... best buds again!

When Mandi is in town...

... these 4 have a blast (even Jackson.)

... we go to the bounce house and after 3 hours Brinn finally goes down the slide and loves it.

... Aidan thinks he is batman... think again Aidan. (Tune in tomorrow for another exciting story.)

... And this one is for Mandi because I told her I would not put it on the blog:) But in all honesty she wanted me to take this picture... and doesn't it look fun(or terrifying!)

Binky Update...

So far so good. We have made it through the weekend. YEAH!


Brinn has always been a GREAT napper/sleeper. I tell her it's time for bed and she gives everyone kisses, walks to her room with me behind her, and goes right to sleep. No crying, no nothing... as long as she had that binky.

The first few nights and naps she cried for 20-30 mins. before finally settling down and drifting off. It has gotten to be less and less crying each time, and eventually she does go to sleep (all except Sunday when I found her in her crib after 45 min of calling my name NAKED.)

Tonight will be the real test when she goes to sleep at Grandma's house while I am at work... I should say the real test for Grandma. Grandma had better not give in and send someone off to the store for a late-night binky run! Consider this your warning mom :)

Soccer...

Aidan is playing soccer this year for the first time and loves it! We have really seen some improvment in his dribbling (look at me becoming all soccer-momish using correct soccer terms and everything) and has managed to score a goal at all of his games so far. Go Aidan!


If you click on this picture you can see a big grin on his face!

This is how Aidan always stands... hands towards the back of the hips. Most the time when he is in this position out on the field it is being accompanied by a growling sound and a glare... be nice Aidan!

A Sad Day...

Today is a sad day for our little Brinny-boo, although she doesn't know it yet. She has officially had her last night with her binky/binky's... and SHE WILL MISS THEM! (I just hope that we(me and David) don't miss them so much that we give in.) R.I.P Binky's.

Tam-n-fam Visit

David's sister Tami came to visit with her two cute kids. We had a great time spending time with them, even though time went by way too fast...

Aidan and Mekhi trying to play X-Box, and those darn sisters trying to distract them...

We went to the riverwalk and this was pretty much how all the kids felt about their picture being taken...

What's a visit to the riverwalk without dinner at Rainforest Cafe...

Aidan and Mekhi sporting their oh-so-cool-frog-drinks... thanks Aunt Tami!

This is the face Brinn would make every time it started to lightning and thunder or when the animals would act up... This girl cracks me up!

And after full tummy's a semi-decent shot...


Once again no pics of Tami and I... we were there though I promise. This is when having a full time imaginary photographer following you around everywhere would be nice!

Corpus Christi

We did this trip to Corpus Christi a few months ago and so I am way behind on this one. But for journaling purposes...

When you asked Aidan what his favorite thing was... this was it!

DAvid and Nic showing of their castle they built on top of Austin.

Feeding the birds...

Daddy and his little girl...




Brinn getting her fix... mind you she would never be allowed to do this if she was not on vacation.

And Lauren and I were there too :) ... somehow we got left out of all the pictures. We need to work on that!
