Thanksgiving Feast at CDC
Today was our Thanksgiving feast at our school. In my class we dressed our students in pilgrims and Indians. It was adorable. Kaiden's class made Indian hats and we all had a big feast in our classrooms.

Campire Fun!
Last week when it was really cold we had dinner at our friends house, The Miley's. We made a campfire, roasted some marshmallows, and made smores. Kaiden did not want to eat the roasted marshmallows, but he LOVED the uncooked marshmallows right out of the bag. Enjoy the pictures from our relaxing night.
No wonder Kaiden did not want to eat his marshmallow...it looks a little toasty!
Kaiden and Ashton being silly. I have no idea what they were doing, especially Kaiden.

Staying warm by the fire.



Zachary and daddy trying to stay warm with their hoodies!




My cute boys!
Here are some cute pics of my boys that I have taken this month. I just had to share them!


Kaiden is really good at kicking the soccer ball. He will be ready for soccer next year since he will get a soccer ball for Christmas.

He is just such a happy baby and easy to make laugh!

Taking bath all by himself...what a big boy!

He is learning how to drink out of a sippy cup and is getting the hang of it.

The boys were pretending this was their pirate ship. The both had a blast!

Kaiden is teaching Zachary how to say "more" in sign language. Zachary looks very intrigued at his brother.

Clapping

Zachary has learned how to clap and is now able to do it on command. Here is a video of me saying "Yeah" and him clapping to it. He is also making all sorts of noises because I think he is finding out that his voice sounds cool when he yells.

Dewberry Farm

This past weekend we took a trip to Dewberry Farm near Katy, Tx. We went with our friends The Miley's and we all had a blast. This place had a lot of activities to do like a playground, duck races, animals, hay ride, pumpkin patch, corn train ride, and much more. http://www.dewberryfarm.com/ Since I had so many pictures I decided to create a smilebox instead of posting all those pictures. Enjoy!

9 Months
Can you believe my little Zachy (this is what his friend Noah calls him) is already 9 month's? I took him for his 9 month check up this past Friday and he is weighing in at 17.5lbs and 26 3/4 inches long. He is my mover and shaker who loves to be down on the ground going somewhere whether it is crawling or walking behind anything he can push. He LOVES laughing at his big brother and finds pretty much everything he does funny. He is really not into baby toys that much but give him something that he can open and close and he will be amused for a little while. He likes playing with Kaiden's kitchen and opening the doors. He also likes opening the doors in the real kitchen, good thing they are baby proofed. He is FINALLY popping his first tooth and I think the 2nd one is not far behind. He likes to babble and make all kinds of noises. He can say "bubba," "dadda," and finally "mama." Of course I was last! He is such a happy baby except when his teeth are hurting or you are not feeding him fast enough. He is enjoying table foods such as avocados, tomatoes, noodles, bread, soft fruits, and more. I am afraid that he is not wanting baby food as much anymore and will actually shake his no at me. But the minute I give him something off of my plate he is a happy little camper. He knows how to get what he wants!

Red Raider Fan
We could not be more excited that our awesome Texas Tech Red Raiders beat Texas this past weekend 39 to 33. That was such an amazing game and I wish I could have been on that field like I was back in the day. Now I am graduated, married and have kids but I can still teach my children to be true die hard Texas Tech fans. Here are some pics of Kaiden on game day! I never got a family picture of all of us dressed up ready for the game. Even mommy had her double T tattoo just like old times. Kaiden has been so excited about Tech that he still has his tattoo on, yes he wore it to church! This morning on the way to school he was singing the fight song and we were doing Raider Power. We can't wait to go see our Red Raiders beat Baylor Thanksgiving weekend! WRECK EM TECH! By the way, Tech is ranked #2!!!!




"GO TECH!"

Halloween
We had so much fun this Halloween. First we went to the Fall Festival at our church where they had games, blow up bounce things, pony rides, petting zoo, train rides, and more. Cowboy Kaiden had to do it all of course and Pumpkin Zachary chilled out in the stroller. After we stayed there for a couple of hours we had just enough time to go home and trick or treat up our street. Kaiden actually went up to some of the houses and waved his hat while saying YEEHAW. It was really cute. He got tired of saying it after awhile and said "can I just say trick or treat now?" We got lots of candy that hopefully will take him forever to eat. Nick told him only 1 a day...yeah right!
Oh and by the way Nick finally got home yesterday about 2:00 after being gone for 3 weeks. YEAH!
There are lots of pictures cause they were all so cute and just could not decided what to put on here.


Cowboy Kaiden with his guns up getting ready for the big Texas Tech game this weekend against UT!! Go TECH!

Cutie Pumpkin Zachary. I was surprised that he actually left the hood on.

Going on a train ride with my babies! Sorry I did not dress up for Halloween, that was only for school. Sorry for the disappointment. :)

Zachary's first pony ride and one of Kaiden's many pony rides. He was holding on really well.

Is he just not the cutest little cowboy you've ever seen? Ride 'em Cowboy!

Playing the pony ride game.


Just chillin!!! He was content watching everyone most of the night. Daddy carried him the rest of the night. I know he would have wanted to get down and go go go but we were in the parking lot.

My two pumpkins!

Kaiden and his friend Navy from church. She was a candy corn...too cute

UH OH! Zachary found him some candy. Don't worry he really did not eat any.
Cowboy Zachary
Since Kaiden was going to be a cowboy for Halloween we decided to try the hat on Zachary and of course as you can tell by the pics he is a cute little cowboy! YEE HAW

Costume Parade at school
Today was our costume parade at school where I teach and where Kaiden goes too. All the kids looked absolutely adorable in their little halloween costumes. I would post pictures of my class on here but I would have to get all the parents permission to do so. In our class we had everything from spiderman, cinderella, and even stitch from lilo and stitch(this outfit was too cute). The hardest costume for me to look at was the 2 little boys who dressed up as UT football players, yes 2 of them. I was like are kidding me I can't teach your child, don't you know there is a big game this weekend??? These boys are too cute to pass up though so I allowed them to come into our class. I didn't hold it against them. It was not their decision to be UT fans right?
Kaiden was such a cute little cowboy. He had his hat, boots, jeans, vest, and rope(pops made it for him) so he was set to go. I decided to dress up too, why not right? I found my old dance costume when I did a duet with Cindy(my sister in law now) back in high school. We were Spartan cheerleaders and danced to old school music like MC Hammer and Vanilla Ice Ice Baby!! It actually fit me except for the skirt which I could barely zip up half way. I guess I have changed a lot from the waste down after having 2 babies!! HAHA Sorry Cindy I could not find my spanky pants. :)



Kaiden was getting ready to take off his hat and say YEE-HAW...Oh my gosh I have to get this on viedo!

Ok do I look like I am 16 or what? The side pony is awesome, because I am from teh planet awesome! (or so Michele says, LOL)

Best Friends
Ashton and Kaiden are best friends and really enjoy spending time with each other. They have their moments especially when they want the same toy AND they feed off of each other's personalities. When one of them screams and runs the other one is sure to follow. They are a hand full together but they truly do love each other as friends. They always have so much fun together and seem to laugh at the littlest things. It really puts a smile on my face when I see them playing so well together sometimes. It also helps that Ashton's mom is my best friend too, we are even co teachers at school. We all cherish each other's friendships.
"A friend loves at all times" Prov. 17:17
These are some pics of them at Old MacDonald's Farm last Friday.










Old MacDonald's Farm
We went to Old MacDonald's Farm last Friday with our church playgroup and we had a blast. This place has train ride, petting/feeding zoo, pony rides, playgrounds, sand castle and more. Kaiden loves this place especially when we can go pick out a pumpkin for him. Here are some pics from our funfilled day.


Kaiden's pumpkin is not the big huge one he is sitting on it is the little one on the side of him. Wouldn't that be crazy if we walked away with that gigantic pumpkin.


Zachary had fun swinging from this rope in the barn. As you can tell on his face he was enjoying every minute.

Kaiden feeding the horse. All the animals are so well tamed and very sweet. You have to watch out for the deer walking around because they will attack your bag of food if you are not careful, they have also been known to dump over trash cans. It is crazy walking around and the deer just follow you if you have food.
