I love my husband!
A day of rocks…
It was a great idea to start with! An awesome family trip to Cedar Hill to take pictures of the boys in the bluebonnets. The boys really didn’t think that was a great idea…Bluebonnets are “too itchy, too scratcy and hurts to sit on”…so we went exploring instead. We walked on the closed off dam across Joe Pool Lake and still had a great time.
This is Pierce at his best!
Matthew and Pierce enjoying the breeze and the view.
My husband doing such a great job at supervising!!! 
He looks soo excited!
Both boys having fun in the dirt and gathering rocks.
Pierce examined his new found prize for awhile and then had a terrific idea of what to do with them.
What else would you do with rocks besides collect them in your pockets or throw them!!!
Matthew saw the excitement that Pierce was having with his rocks and decided to join in the fun!
Ohh…what fun did we have… Well… it was time to head back home,,treading softly through the rattlesnake trail…Beware! thank goodness my husband carries the wonderful Blackberry on his hip wherever we might go!
love you baby!!
Matthew is Driving, and Crashing!!
Daddy left Matthew in the garage too long and he put his F150 into reverse and crashed the Expedition!!
Lots of fun at our house!
Swingin’ n Flyin’ high
This looks scary, but Matthew loves it… He loves to fly high in the sky.
Pierce’s favorite past time is his swing.
Musical animals..
Remember awhile back I had blogged about these?? Matthew loves the musical animals that you push on an off with a tiny button. They are cute, but REALLY annoyingg when he wants them all singing at the same time. Thank you for a wonderful Christmas present…Nana Alta and Papa John.
Picture with Santa Claus
The boys patiently waited to see Santa again. We dressed them in their best, their pjs..
Santa the dog.
Our “Welcome Dog” has a new image. What would December be like without everyone getting into the Christmas spirit. Yep, that includes Jackson’s “Santa the dog”.
Granny “T” purchased this costume just for our Chica. Pierce thought it would look much nicer on the dog outside. I think the outfit went to the dog outside because Chica would not let Pierce get anywhere near her… It was a sight to see. Pierce chasing Chica around with the Santa skirt trying to put it on her. He finally gave in and had chosen another subject to dress as Santa.
Chica finally gets close in to sniff out the duds.
Celebrating!
I realized after taking this photo, I should move and quick!
Today, we celebrated Aunt Phyllis birthday.
Pierce thought he was a big boy because he had his own glass.
He was a tad bit excited.
Matthew found the step stool and was anxious to join in with more Cheers!
Matthew didn’t find the party scene much fun, so he went back to play with Mr. Reindeer. He actually tries to ride him. Mr. Reindeer doesn’t stand a chance. One pull on the horns and he falls all apart.
Christmas lights
Pierce was all about helping daddy with the lights.
The Christmas lights are finally on the house. Matthew was a big help!
Child-locks..love them!
Matthew has learned to carry this chair to any destination that he thinks is off limits. It is hard to keep up with his departing and docking times all throughout the day. All I can say is, Thank Goodness for Child-locks!!
After a fun day chasing Matthew around the house, I was much relieved when he was in bed for the night.
Lane and Pierce enjoy popcorn and a movie during Pierce’s “medicine time”. Chica had a little too.
Putting up the Christmas tree.
Chica was sporting her favorite Christmas sweater and was barking at the big green “thing” that was being drugged across the floor.
The little ones were all smiles and excited about putting up the tree.
The most excitement came when they could climb up and down, up and down the ladder. This was the “hit” of the night.
It was really cute watching even little Matthew try and hang his ornament on the tree with his brothers.
Yep, I wanted another picture of the boys with their Santa hats on. Didn’t go as well as I had hoped. Oh well.. There is always next year!
Perfect lighting…peaceful fire
Chica loves the fireplace. Especially when all kiddos are asleep.
Just us.
Our mantel with 6 stockings, plus one more for Chica.
