One Little Monkey? - No THREE!

Image
I am so tired right now... I would love to say something significant about these photos taken just in our front yard, but I am so tired. I really like the way they turned out - let's just leave it at that.... Night-night! :P

The Punkin Patch

Image
We went only because I love the pictures that I always manage to get there. We didn't stay long - Bryan wasn't feeling that well, so we decided to make it a short trip this year. Bryan tends to get sick around events or happenings. At least it wasn't his birthday this year!

Pretty!!!

Have I told you how much I LOVE my patio set? I am out there all of the time now!

Fall Camp Out

Image
The camp site looked good - I didn't get to go, but from the look and sound of things, they had a lot of fun! Bryan even got to take part in a flag retirement ceremony.

Captain Jack Sparrow!

Image
FINALLY!! It arrived WAY late! At least it came in time for Halloween. Bryan looks soooo darn funny with facial hair and long hair! He thought he looked like a dork! - but what is the point of dressing up if you can't laugh at yourself?!

Stubborn!

Image
I know that I tucked him into bed! But he just did not want to go to sleep yet - so he sat in his chair watching Harry Potter! Surely that was supposed to keep him awake!

And what was Joshua doing?

Image
He was off in his own world - perfectly happy to be Super Man instead of a pirate!

Bryan's very late birthday party...

Image
We finally had a birthday party for Bryan on Oct 1st - It was a little late, but it turned out great! Since we are in TX and it was still hot - we had a pool party and it was a great success! This was Bryan's first "real" party and I think I was more nervous about it than he was. There was no need though - Bryan had a lot of fun and all the work was well worth it! OH! and since Bryan's pirate costume didn't make it in time, he ended up wearing Joshua's costume! LOL! Good thing they are close in sizes!

Their new hats...

Image
We found these nifty hats at the air show and bought them for the boys and one for Brandon. It was hotter than the seventh level of hell that day and the hats worked wonders! So much for fall weather! UGH! Gotta love Texas - it's either hot or hotter! We have used the hats several times since then - I consider them a great buy!

Is This an Air Show?

Image
We took Bryan to the Alliance Air Show as part of his birthday celebrations... I was expecting the usual all things planes - maybe some recruiters, but this year there were all kinds of bounce houses, a couple of games and Playstation even had a set up there. Bryan tried the rock climbing first and then went to this bouncy thing, where he ran into his buddy from school. So, we let him cut and stand in line with us (ssshhhh - don't tell anyone). They had a great time visiting while in line.

Three days!

Image
Three days is all it took for Bryan to put this HUGE Lego Star Wars Tank Thingy-Magigy together! He just amazes me -ya and they told me last year that he had trouble focusing on anything - HA! He loves those Legos... No one helps him, most of the time he runs off as soon as he gets then so he can open them and put them together as fast as he can. Hmmmm....Maybe he build some record-breaking Lego something...

Joshua Too

Image
Joshua also got a present for being a great baby brother!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYAN!!!

OK, I'm running just a tad behind. Things have been terribly busy around here lately. I think I may have been a little over-ambitious this year. Last year it was hard to be involved with Bryan's school and we were having a hard time meeting other parents. This year, I have volunteered, mostly myself (but some of Brandon), to everything I could possibly do while still admitting that - yes - I do work full-time. I heard nothing from anyone from the middle of August until last week - then BAM! I am helping with the Multi-cultural night, helping room parents, on the Hospitality Committee, taking photos for school events... Oh - and let's not forget selling Cub Scout popcorn and cookie dough for the school. I am sure my co-workers love me this month! Everyone wants a piece of me! What was I thinking? No-actually it has been good for all of us. It has forced me to be a lot more organized. I still have occational "blonde" moments, but I have been really good so far this
