Just Us

I love our weekends when the 4 of us get to spend time together!

 

Somebody has started to annoy his sister by being able to get around on the floor a little better.

 

But they do love each other. Melts my heart!

 

We had a fun little shopping trip when Landon was off a couple Mondays ago.  We got the big cart that seats 3 kids and he pushed all of us around the whole time lol! I think the other mothers were jealous :) I have no shame. 

 

 

Neely means a lot to us too.

 

 

Who sits like that haha!

 

 

Softball season is back again.  Landon has now been playing softball as long as he had played baseball.

The most proud cheerleader of all. I have to calm her down a bit with her cheering cause she can get quite excited and loud.  She's extremely proud of her daddy!

Look at that bottom haha! It's the bubbliest thing! She's gonna be just like her daddy lol!

Sweet boy wanted to army crawl all over except for on his blanket, he didn't know what to think about all the crazy wind that day!

She said the wind was blowing her away....

 

How adorable to my babies look, and here I am looking like the kid from ET, the wind was killing my ears. 

 

At least we didn't have a dust storm like Amarillo cause we actually have grass and trees here and some rain thank goodness.

My dear sweet friends who still live in Amarillo, I miss and love ya'll so much! I'm saying this outta love...why do you still live there, it's just awful and ugly and boring.  Come here with me!! It will be fun I promise, there's a reason Dallas is 100 times bigger than Amarillo and everyone moves here, Come on you can do it! :) 

 

School Themes

I get so excited about "theme" days a Brielle's school. 

 

This was wear orange day, what better thing to wear than your longhorn cheer leading outfit!  She was so excited to show her teacher Mrs Leslie who happened to be a Texas Longhorns cheerleader back in the day.

This was bike day.  Everybody brought their bicycles and go to rid them during recess that morning.  Landon was nervous she would be the only kid without training wheels.  Well turns out she was only one of two kids with a big kid bike haha, everyone else had tiny ones like the black and red one you see in the background.

This was Letter Box Wednesday which happened to be her favorite letter "B" (of course)  She took her beloved baby Bree. Her uncle Colt gave it to her for her 2nd birthday while he was overseas and it's been the only toy she has loved this long. 

 

This was our outfit for Wacky Wednesday......

 

On this particular day she was playing outside, fell and scraped her hand. She was super brave and let me clean it and put some medicine on it.  But all day long this is how she walked around, palm up being very careful and making sure to let everyone know to watch out and not accidently bump or touch her owie.

 

 

And just because my girls are so adorable......

 

Some sweet things Brielle has said the past few weeks:

 

"Just Kitten" aka Just kidding (her aunt Sasha taught her that one)

 

She loves her a good knock knock joke.  My cousins bf Trent taught her a couple while he was here this week.  "Knock Knock, who's there Banana, banana who" (repeat 3X) then say "orange, orange who, aren't you glad I didn't' say banana!"  Also "knock knock, who's there, boo, boo who, why are you crying"  She says these a hundred times a day and if you don't laugh she will tell you "you are supposed to laugh!" HA

 

She asked Trent and Natalie if they were the same measure. Meaning same height.  She loves playing with the measuring tape and seeing how long things are.

 

Cutest thing ever and I can't remember if I posted this yet or not but it's worth writing again. She said Hason was going to be a "pillow bear" in my sister Sherry Ann's wedding haha! I could just squeeze her for that!

 

 

 

Hason is 8 Months Old!

This is WAAAY late because I have been outta town for 8 days and then had family in town for 4 more days.  It's been a fun whirlwind!

Hason is 8 months old! Wow! It's hit me that my baby is not so little anymore, we are closer to his 1st birthday than this birth day :(  I couldn't get the first 6 months to go by any fast enough and now I can't get them to stand still.  I love this age! I can't say it enough!

 

Precious precious boy!

 

Just chillin

 

*I assume you are about 23lbs

*you are still in size 3 diapers

*you are in size 12 and 18 months clothes

*you are an amazing eater and are very nosey when it comes to what we are eating.  You are super loud/grunty and vocal when you want or see food. You have had every green, yellow and orange veggie there is, you love them all and don't discriminate.  Can't tell you how happy this makes me! Your Lita likes to give you beans, black and chick peas.

*you are still sleeping through the night (except for that bad week of teething) you are waking earlier than you used to (stupid time change) instead of 8 or 8:30 now it's 7 or sometimes sooner ugh.

*You aren't crawling yet but it won't be much longer

*you startle so easily and are so sensitive to loud noises.  If you get scared you just scream and cry and it's very hard to get you back into a good mood after that.

*You were so darn cute the other day.  Brielle and I were playing a game.  I asked her if she had the number 8.  You were down on the ground and peaked your head around my legs and said "AAAAAaaa?" As if you thought I said "A" instead of 8 and we all know that you think you made up the word "A".  Sweet boy I could just squeeze you (and I did)

*We are working on waving bye bye...you did it to Brielle for the first time and Dad and I were both there to see it. It was so cute, your arm was all awkward and stiff as if to say "I don't know what to do with my hands" ha.

*you are incredibly sweet and patient in your car seat!  I can leave you in the car with someone while running in somewhere and you are just as happy as can be! 

 

 

I have thoroughly enjoyed getting pictures of this boy while I can and while he cooperates and is immobile...that all will end soon.......

Not crawling yet but he pulls himself forward in an army type crawl.  When he does get on all fours he pushes himself backwards.........

 

And we have learned to sit up from the laying down position.  I remember this phase with Brielle, she fell asleep hunched over several times because she couldn't figure out how to get back down haha. Not this guy of course, he just screams. Sigh, the moment things are going good (as in sleep) they learn something new and it disrupts the whole world.

 

Oh and what peace it brings me when he decides to sleep FACE DOWN! Oh don't mind me SIDS, just trying not to breath here! Good Lord child!

 

We now have the two top teeth for a total of four...those were doozies while coming in!  You woke up once a night for a week.  Bless your heart.  I'll be glad when you are done with teething. 

 

You have a toy where you put the balls in the hole at the top and then they roll down. You learned to put them in the hole by yourself...I didn't see it but dad caught you doing it. He was so proud!

 

I enjoy my nursing sessions with you in my bed in the mornings (as long as its not 6am)

Makes me want to let you sleep with us in our bed! Dad would never go for that ha.

This was the night before, he wasn't having it, I even fixed his hair real handsome....

 

You hold your bottle really well and have discovered that if you tilt it more milk comes out! This makes mom really happy!

 Beautiful Handsome Nene.

 

I'm kicking myself for not doing more comparison pictures. I'm just gonna have to make the time to go back and add them in.  I don't think they look a thing alike here......

 

But I do here...........
