Happy Fall Yall!

We spent Thanksgiving at PawPaw and Granny's house this year.  Grandpa Marv was able to join us.  It involved good food, tractors, horses, four wheelers, guns and lots of great family time.






still calling it a motorcycle and very serious about driving it

Speaking of driving, IP tried his hand at driving the tractor.

Good thing Tip is pretty easy going.  IP loved him.

He was cool with the horses as long as they kept their distance from him.
Here are a few of our other Fall shenanigans

1 Year!

This post is a little late, as usual, but we've had a busy and fun month.  We made a trip to the beach, HEB camp for our church retreat and we celebrated IP's birthday with all of our family.  We still can't believe that this little guy is ONE! He loves balls, waving bye bye, giving kisses and eating FOOD.



Here are a few shots of his birthday celebration.  The 1st 2 were taken on the night of his actual birthday when he experienced his 1st Oreo and opening his 1st present.  We made him wait until his party to dig into his cake.  We made the mistake of letting him fill up on cheese puffs and then holding a burning candle within reach during the "happy birthday" song.  Both of which spoiled his 1st cake experience a bit:(

Did you know that too much cake can put hair on your chest?

Playing with Daddy

Beach Vacation



Our best "find" for the trip this year.  Doesn't quite live up to the baby sea turtle we found last year but it was still pretty cool.
IP's 1st impression of the beach, just after he met his 1st wave.  He ended up liking it quite well though.

Feeding the Birds!
Boogie boarding with Daddy.  The tide was really high but it made for a great toddler pool for playing in.  We are not huge fans of the waves yet.
Daddy and McB had a great time building castle's....and tearing them down;)

The best tree house ever.

Dino Exhibit
This is a little random but I had to share McB in T-Rex character at the Dino exhibit.  He LOVES demonstrating his T-Rex and his Velaciraptor for people.  The T-Rex has short arms, makes growling noises and takes huge steps while the Raptor has long arms, makes snarling noises and runs very fast.

11 Months

Saying goodbye to Summer and hello to Fall.  All three have started "school" together.  We are in the process of adjusting to a busy schedule around our house.  IP continues to be a busy boy.  He has started walking but still prefers crawling as his primary mode of transportation.  He still uses his "2nd Gear" on all 4's to get where he wants to go a little faster.
Cousin time at Gma and Gpa's,

McB's 1st time to the movies.

McB will continue one extra day a wk at his "old school" so he can spend some time with his buddy "Giddy-Up"
