Hello Fall

October 1 we woke up to the most B-E-A-utiful weather ever! It was amazing. We opened up all of the windows on the house, watched college football and the kids played in the back yard. I love fall. It’s so disappointing that we have to wait so long for it down here in South Texas. We welcome it with open arms and enjoy every minute because we know the next day it could spike back up into the 100’s and the humidity will come back in full force. For now, we enjoy!

Trenton and Trace are really starting to interact a lot more. It’s fun to watch them play. Trenton is very sweet with Trace even when it seems he is rough housing.

Trenton about to slide down to his brother!  

 

Hey Brother!! Trace just giggled over and over when Trenton would slide down to him.

 

We had a house full of kids which is so much fun! The kids insisted I take their picture. Can you believe this is the best one I could come up with. Trace is mad and making a break for it, while Trenton picks his nose. Clearly my kids are a mess!

Then they moved locations and asked me to take it again. How sweet are they!!

This is more like it. It shows all of their individual personalities!

Trace had a rough weekend. He has 2 ear infections which landed us in the Urgent Care Thursday night. Friday he had to come home from school early because of a fever and ears. Friday night he had HORRIBLE diaper rash and an allergic reaction to motrin. He screamed for hours on end. By Saturday he was still cranky, but doing much better.

Look at that face, he just looks miserable.

My sweet honey! When the fall rolls around I smile because it means at least a couple times a week this man grills and I get a night off!

Homecoming Parade 2011

I am not sure why, but I never get around to blogging about the Clearbrook Homecoming Parade. We have gone every year and I have pictures to prove it, but I have never blogged it. I am so disappointed in myself. This is the busiest time of year for me at work so I guess that’s my excuse. This is our 4th Homecoming Parade to attend. I was mentally preparing myself for having both boys this year. As with every year we were meeting our good friends the Brewers at the parade. It was going to be so much fun for Brady and Trenton to run around while Trace and the K’s hung out. Well Trenton decided to ditch Trace and I so he could eat an obscene amount of candy ride on the baseball float with his Daddy! Gene was so excited that he wanted to ride with them. I am so proud of Gene for participating. He really has a great set of kids to coach!

Trace and I managed to keep ourselves busy playing at the playground and eating dinner inside the school with the Brewers. I definitely like it when HC is further into October. It was way to hot to be outside!

This is an awful picture, but I want to be able to remember how Trace would cross his legs when he sits. SO DARN CUTE!

 

Trace and Kaden hit it off. I hope they grow up to be best buds like their big brothers are!

Brady (2 yrs) & Trenton (2.5 years)

Kaden & Trace definitely showed more enthusiasm than their big brothers ever did for the parade!

See what I mean!

We couldn’t leave sweet Karsyn out! Look how cute they are!

Trace and his pacifier…..

Daddy’s Team

I cannot believe he is big enough to ride on the float with his Dad. In a few years Trace is going to want to ride too. I guess I will have to jump back there with them!

Big Brother and his Daddy!
