Santa & More!

This and That

It's late and I am tired, so I am not going to do alot of writing here, but I though I would share a few pictures.

Beckett has really started smiling alot in the last few weeks. I could just eat him up. This pic isn't of a very big smile, but I just love his little grin :)

I started back to work a couple weeks ago. I was dreading it, but it really is going ok. It wasn't as hard to leave this time as it was with Brody. Maybe because I knew more of what to expect or maybe because life at home is a little crazier and I welcome the break a tiny bit. Who knows. Either way, we are adjusting just fine. I miss them both like crazy, but I know they are in good hands, so things are going well. And it's just 3 days a week...I can't complain. This is my first morning back to work.

I just think this is funny. Beckett loves to ride around in the little frontpack carrier, but he usually falls asleep. Well, when I would take him out to lay him down, he would always wake up. So, I have started just unsnapping it from my shoulders and laying him down still in the pack. He will stay asleep that way. Whatever works right?

We were headed to the Warrens for the evening and I thought they just looked so cute. Aren't these boys just adorable?

Mom and Brooke were over one evening and decided they wanted to nap with Beckett. They weren't quite asleep yet in this picture, hence the grins on their faces, but I thought it was sweet anyway.

I survived my first shopping trip with both boys this weekend. Amie and I went to Texarkana shopping. I pushed them around in the double stroller, and they did just great. This thing seemed so huge to me! But it was definately handy!

My precious big boy :)

I took a picture of Beckett today, and it reminded me of one I have of Brody. I can really see some similarities, although most of the time I don't think they look alike.

Beckett today (at 8 weeks) ....

And Brody at about 12 weeks.....

Beckett's baby dedication is this Sunday at church, so I hope to get some pictures of that on here soon!

For you mom!!

Mom is out of town, so Brody and I went to Brooke's very first awards assembly at her school this morning. I told mom I would post the pics so she could see them today! So, here you go mom!


This is where Brody spotted Brooke and made a mad dash for her nearly knocking her over...lol. I had to pry his little arms off of her neck so that we could go sit back down.



This is her Citizenship Award...

And here she is receiving the Principal's Award for all A's!! Good job Brooke!

And here are a couple pics from our day :)


Brody had this pitcher out in the yard today, and when I asked him what he was doing he said he was trying to catch some of the leaves that were falling from the sky!

Look at the belly that this little one is getting :-)

Hope you guys are having fun in Houston!!!!!

A Halloween package

Brody and Beckett got a halloween package in the mail at Mimi and Pawpaw's! Uncle Tony and Aunt Carrie sent them monogrammed pumpkins!!

Brody's pumpkin was filled (and I mean FILLED) with candy and fun surprises :)

One of the surprises was a Razorback nose, which he LOVED!

Beckett's pumpkin had the cutest little Razorback onesie in it!! It says Woo Pig Sooie. We can't wait until he can wear it!!

Here is Brody in the big pile of candy

Thank you Uncle Tony and Aunt Carrie!!!! They LOVE their pumpkins!

A SPOOKtacular Party!

Today was Brody's halloween party at school. The parent's are always invited to come for the party, so Beckett and I ventured out for the fun! Brody was sooo proud to have his brother at his school. As soon as I walked in, he ran over to the infant seat, kissed Beckett's little foot, and announced to all his friends, "This is my baby brother." It was precious.

Brody wore his costume to school, but got too hot in it and wouldn't put it back on for the party. The little toot. But don't worry, I will have plenty of pictures of him in it tomorrow.

This is Brody's teacher Mrs. Barbara. She held Beckett the whole time, so I could play with Brody. She worked in the baby room at the school for years before moving into the 2-3 year old room this year. (I think she misses it a little bit.)

Isn't he just a cutie-patootie??? I love those big eyes!

And this is Brody's other teacher Mrs. Paula, and his friend Carson. He loves his teachers and his school so much!!

Showing me his spider ring ;)

And the bat painted on his face!

He was sooo sleepy by the end of the party.

And this is him playing at home a few nights ago. He got these "bubba" teeth, or whatever they are called, in a favor bag at a birthday party a few weeks ago. He thought halloween would be the perfect time to pull them out. Gross, huh.

And this is just a little bit of sweetness I though I would share. I love these boys to peices.
