Lights, Lights and More Lights!

So this weekend was full of Christmas lights which is fine because that is one of my favorite parts of the season. On Thursday I too Trenton to the Dickinson Christmas parade (no pics as I was alone!). Saturday my Mom, Sister (Laurie) and my Neice (Jaycie) came out to go with Trenton and I to the Dickinson Festival of Lights. This is the most amazing light display I have ever seen. Its FREE, you walk through, they have a train (free), they have pictures with Santa, you can make cookies and the list just keeps going. We decided to just enjoy the lights. It was awesome. I hope everyone gets to view this amazing display! Coming up next....Trenton's new playground brought to you by Daddy (and hopefully a team of expert craftsmen!)

This is a video of Trenton running through the tunnel of lights! I am not computer saavy so you will have to deal with the sideways view!

Trenton all bundled up to look at lights!

Me and My sis Laurie!

I love my husband for several reasons, but right I now I love him because he is brave enough to climb on the roof to hang Christmas lights for me! My favorite holiday is Christmas and my favorite part are the lights! This is our first year to have our own home so we decided to decorate! I have to admit that the person who invented shingle hooks was a genius! We have a very steep roof and needless to say Gene was not happy to be hanging over the side!

Gene reconsidering his love for me!

Really reconsidering!

The end result!

I am THANKFUL for...

I can't believe how time flies when your having fun.This blog is to tell my son how Thankful I am to have him. Trenton is the most exciting little boy I have ever layed eyes on and it makes me so proud to be his Mom. I love you so much Trenton and when you are in your teenage years I hope you still know that. You are my first child and at times I am scared that I won't be able to love another child as much as I love you! I know I will, but you are my first. I am thankful for your cheerful giggle, your chubby smile and your clever expressions. You bring so much happiness to your dad and I. Here are some recent pictures just to show you how much Trenton is growing. We are truly blessed for our family and friends.

Cowboy Trenton!

My how you have grown! Eating your very own yogurt!

Dad an elephant says mmmppppphphhhhh!

Heading back inside after playing in the semi cold weather!

If I could just get this piece loose.....I fixed it!

This Thanksgiving is so meaningful to me because we have so much to be Thankful for. With the economy and world being what it is right now, Gene and I are truly blessed. I hope that this Thanksgiving everyone will appreciate all that they have instead of complaining of what they don't have. We are Thankful we have jobs, our son, each other, loving friends and families that are always at our side!

God Bless everyone this Thanksgiving weekend.

ROUND 2

We are on to the 2nd round of playoffs! We play LaPorte @ Deerpark on Saturday 1pm. Mommy & Trenton will be there to cheer for Daddy's team! Way to go Clearbrook on winning district and making it the next round! We love you!

We played an awesome game against Ft Bend Marshall last Saturday. 34-12 win was incredible to watch. Trenton spent time with Nana and Aunt Mimi so Mommy could watch the game. PLUS it was about 42 degrees outside and not appropriate weather for my little man. I forgot what it was like to actually sit and watch the game! We also saw our best friends The Cooley's. They game in town to watch UH Coogs stomp on Tulsa! Go Coogs! It was an all around great weekend for sports!

Pumpkins, Painting and Pirates

Halloween is always such a fun time of the year. It is much more fun these days having a little one to celebrate with. Trenton and Mommy went to the CB Homecoming game for Halloween. Trenton is still too young to go Trick or Treating, but not too young to be oohed and ahhed over at the game! He went as a pirate this year and I must say he is pretty darn cute! We met up with our friends The Brewers at the game and Mrs. Kim got a taste of my regular Friday night life! (She is totally jealous!) Before all of the running around began we were able to get a few shots of the boys together!

Pirate Trenton & Monkey Brady

Arrr....you really making me wear this?

Happy Halloween to everyone! We had a blast even thought the costumes lasted about 20 minutes before we noticed the boys sweating to death! I love the holiday season! Turkey is right around the corner! CB made playoffs...ahhhhh I thought the nightmare that I call FOOTBALL SEASON was over!

I am sure everyone remembers me saying we didn't make it in time to paint with Brady & Cooper so we decided to paint at home! Best paint ever is Crayola Kids Paint; it dries like chalk and comes off clothes! Trenton had a blast painting. Daddy was concerned about the mess, but kids have to have fun! So Daddy was the photographer!

Picasso hard at work! Yes that is paint on his nose!

Paint, Paint I love to Paint!

Our new little neice, Raelynn, was born in September. Uncle Luis and Janis decided to make a trip down here to show off their bundle of joy! She is so precious. What a perfect opportunity to get some pictures together in the pumpkin patch. It is sad when you can wear shorts and crocs to the Pumpkin Patch! The pictures came out ok. We have nothing to compare it to from last year because T was too sick to go!

Mom, this squash doesn't taste so good...

The best picture I could get!

Trenton and Raelynn

Grandma and Grandpa Flores were in town as well. They spoiled Trenton on Halloween by keeping him home from school, taking him shopping for new shoes & he went to the Homecoming Carnival! Aunt Rachel came in town as well and she spent a lot of time with her FAVORITE nephew!
