The Chin Meister

I just love this lil guy! His personality is just starting to show so I will have to post some more of him laughing. I do this thing with my tongue that makes a noise (I know, real attractive) and it gets him goin every time. He is so fun and sweet!

7 weeks later...and the chins multiply! I went ahead and posted updated pics of how big he is getting. My other 2 were lil skin and bones. I swear he can eat and eat...I can't believe how big he is getting already!

SOUNDTRACK OF MY LIFE

My sister, Lori tagged me with this cool "soundtrack of my life" idea...like if you were to make a movie of your life, what would the soundtrack be?

Here's how it works:
Open your music library (iTunes, Winamp, Media Player, iPod, etc.)
Put it on shuffle
Press play
For every question (in bold) type the song that's playing
When you go to a new question, press the "next" button
Here's what I got... iPod, do your magic!! :)

Few Things About Brock...

(Pic of Brock 2006)

He is really growing up, and being that he is my first, I did not expect it to happen so quickly! I don't know how many times I've teared up this week at that knowledge.

One interesting discussion:
"Mom, when I marry a pretty 'grill', can I bring her to your house and will you be nice to her and can you make her dinner?"... "And when we make cookies with her, I won't have to use a chair!"

"But, don't worry, I don't wanna get married for a long time cuz I wanna be your little boy."...

"Oh, and when I'm a Daddy, that means I can eat a taco!"

(where did that conversation come from?)

A discussion that made the ride home kinda hard because I was crying:
"Hey, Mom?" "I don't wanna give you a kiss when you drop me off at school."

why?

"Because I don't want my teacher to see"

he gets out of the car... "Bye, Brock. I love you!"

He looks around and says "Bye Mom"

I say again..."I LOVE you!"

The teacher says "Brock, your Mom loves you"

"Bye, Mom"
******************************************************************************
Isn't he too young to be too cool to kiss mommy...or to be thinking about marriage?! Please tell me, because I wasn't prepared for this. Tell me I have a few more years and this is just a phase he is going through...:)

Alliance Air Show

Every year, Ft.Worth Alliance Airport hosts an air show. We weren't able to go last year, since we were out of town, but we went when Trey was a baby. It was just as fun this year, with true life airforce Thurnderbirds, US Army Golden Knights, etc. performing stunts with F-16's, the F-15 Eagle (super cool to watch, but way too loud!), and wing planes (don't know much about those). The boys had a GREAT time of course, being boys, and they even got to sit inside an old World War II plane and the Blackhawk! (They humored me by getting their cute lil faces painted too)
Here are some pictures...

Big Orange Pumpkin Farm

Brock's Preschool Class Brock's preschool took a field trip to the Big Orange Pumpkin Farm in Celina, Tx. We go here every year so I thought it would be fun to take all 3 boys and meet them there...and it went surprisingly well. Trey was so tired, refused to look at the camera, and wanted to wander but other than that we had a great time!

They got to feed the animals...(yes, they are matching!)

We also got to pick out a pumpkin... enjoy a hayride...and even have a snack to wrap up the day!





Thanks, Brock for actually wanting us to come along-we had a great time!

(Sorry no pics of the baby-he was in the Bjorn the whole time)

Pumpkin Carving

Last night we decided to carve pumpkins as a family. We only got one done and figured we have a while until Halloween so we saved the other one...Brock chose to do a scary face jack-o-lantern and Trey wanted to do a silly one. So, Ty pretty much carved the whole thing by himself. He cleaned it while I fed the baby (something I seem to always be doing:) and Trey wanted NOTHING to do with getting his hands in the "yuck", as he called it. (See video below)

Brock was a good helper, but you know how high 4 yr olds' attention span is. It was a fun activity and I have to say the pumpkin turned out really scary sitting on our front porch!

...and someone PLEASE teach me how to load videos so they aren't sideways. I think I shot it w/the camera sideways-oops!
