Halloween Dance Class

At dance class this week all the girls could come in their Halloween costumes. Audrey was so excited to wear her Snow White costume. She had a really hard time deciding what to be this year and she said she was so happy that she decided on Snow White. There are just too many princesses to choose from I suppose. They did their Halloween dance for everyone and they were all so cute. Gavin of course wanted to be included and wear his costume but I told him he couldn't wear his mask, I was afraid he would scare some of the little girls. Make sure and watch the video at the bottom.

Pumpkin Patch

Steven had Friday off last week so we ventured out to a pumpkin patch, not a real one unfortunately but we can pretend right??? Gavin and Audrey didn't know what to do with themselves, they ran around chasing each other in and out of the paths and loved looking at all the different sized pumpkins. They each picked a few out and once we got home we gave them their carving kits. Audrey has a princess one and Gavin of course has Star Wars. Steven carved Audrey's pumpkin first, she chose Belle. He did a great job but it took so long that he didn't have time to get started on Gavin's. I will post pics once they are both completed. What a fun morning!

Fall in the front yard

The leaves have already begun to fall. I love all the different colored leaves that we get. The kids of course love every minute of playing in them. We haven't had many opportunities to though because it's been so wet. There was one day that wasn't so I took the chance and got some cute shots. Sutton was taking a nap so we'll have to have another day with him involved.

Sutton Growing so big

Sutton has hit so many milestones in the last month. He started crawling, he can sit up, he is pulling himself up and standing, he is on his way to having 6 teeth and he is eating solid foods. It goes by so fast and happens before you know it. He is also quite the little ham and thinks he so funny at times. He tries to keep up with his brother and sister most of the day. He really just likes to be around them whenever possible. I think he would sit and play in their room all day but it's so hard keeping all the little toys away from him that they have in their room. Gavin and Audrey do a great job making sure he doesn't put anything too small in his mouth. The pediatrician told them a way to tell if a toy is too small for him. He said if the toy can fit through a toilet paper roll then it's too small. So they always say that when trying to figure out if Sutton can play with something.

Love his cry face!

Sutton's down dog position

What's up?

I think they look so much alike in this picture.

Let's crawl sissy!

Sweet love!

Standing up in his crib for the first time. So proud!

Audrey's Fashion Show

Audrey was invited to be in the fashion show at Christmas in Cowtown at the Junior League Luncheon. Zoe and Jack dressed all the kids. Audrey was so excited to wear the pretty dress and walk down the isle with Adriana. She did a fantastic job smiling pretty and in frost of all the ladies.

Sutton Crawling

This is a video of Sutton trying to figure out this crawling thing back in September. He is so cute and trying so hard to get to his toys. Gavin and Audrey both did the army crawl so it was a lot of fun seeing him actually get up on his knees and go.

Tree Climber

Gavin has found a new love for climbing trees. We have a tree in our flower bed that is just his size that gets lots of attention when we are out. He has turned into quite the little monkey.

Gavin's 5th Birthday

Gavin had a birthday back in September and turned 5! I still can't believe that my baby is 5 years old. I remember the day I we had him so vividly. He was 3 1/2 weeks early and I was so incredibly worried that he wasn't ready but he was one healthy tiny little boy weighing in at 6 pounds 2 ounces. What a sweet little man and my goodness how fast 5 years goes by.

Gavin wanted to have his birthday party at Lonestar Gymnastics. It was quite a success and fun was had by all. We invited a few friends back to our house to watch the TCU game and for Gavin to open his presents. His presents were pretty much all Star Wars, which is what he requested. His favorite gift would have to be his new Nintendo DS he got from his Papaw, he was so excited and still is.

Happy Birthday Gavin!!!!!!

STEVEN FOUND A JOB!!!

First off, I have to update you all....Steven is employed!!!! It really was totally random how it happened. His old boss from N3 called him and wanted to meet for coffee, she said she had a "project" for him. They met and she said she wanted to offer him a job. He replied with, "You mean one with benefits?" She said, "Yes". No long interviews, sending resumes or filling out online applications. Out of the blue opportunity. He was offered the job on Monday and started on Tuesday. We feel so incredibly blessed and are thrilled that we don't have to move, out of state or in with our parents and I don't have to get a job, I can continue staying home with our precious three.

Needless to say we are both elated and a huge weight has been lifted off both of our shoulders. Thank you for all the prayers and helpful kind words. We really appreciate everyone that has been there for us the past 10 months.

It's been a great 10 months having Steven home with us. He has gotten to spend some quality time with the kids and me and we are really going to miss not having him home during the day. Gavin and Audrey have already been asking the past few days where he is and if he is going to be home soon. I know he is going to miss us as well.
