Face Plant Acrobat

Yesterday when I went to pick up the little man he had a Boo Boo report. If you have never gotten a Boo Boo report count yourself lucky. It means somehow your child got hurt at daycare, which isn't good but is better in a way than an Oh No report (your child hurting someone else).

It said that he was swinging from some chairs and bumped his head. He is always getting dings and scratches, so I wasn't too worried. I got to his classroom and he had what looked like carpet burn on his forehead. It wasn't carpet burn though it was from him hitting the ground so hard the carpet left an impression on his forehead. His nose and upper lip were also scratched. Once I was there his teacher gave me all the details. I can say I was disappointed that they didn't call me since he had head trauma, but we have that all ironed out now.
So as soon as we left daycare we headed to Daddy's office to get him checked out and make sure that nothing was wrong. No teeth loose, nothing broken, no concussion, etc. After a thorough check by Dr. G and by Daddy he was cleared. I was relieved but had thought he was fine. He has complained a little about he spots being sore but overall he is doing just great. When I asked him why he was swinging on the chairs...."Mom I was being an acrobat!"
Today his head looks so much better. I can say the pictures really don't do it justice.

Random Pics of the New Year

Noah's Pirate Birthday

Davis Christmas

Christmas Lights

Instead of fighting the crowd at the parade we decided to go to the lighted park in Dickinson. The boys enjoyed it again this year and so did we. I promise I was there but I was behind the camera. Lots of my pictures didn't come out so here is what I have that looked decent.

Getting in the Holiday Spirit

Today Maddox and I got festive by trying our hand at making a Gingerbread House. For our very first one ever I think it came out pretty good.

Maddox can't wait to eat it. He did eat the Gingerbread men that he made already and sampled lots of the candy used on the house before he decided it was good enough to be put on the house. I don't think he will have room for dinner.

Tonight we are going to meet up with the Rhodes' to check out the League City Christmas parade. With the trees and decorations up in the house and watching the snow fall yesterday it has been very wintery down here in Southeast Texas.

Can't wait for the real thing

I am looking forward to seeing how the photographers pictures came out, but I love the one that Max got of Maddox & Ali from that day. We had their very first Christmas picture taken together as a present for MawMaw Betty when Maddox was a little over 3 months old and I believe that Ali was just 3 weeks old. It was a precious picture of my big boy and his tiny angelic cousin. This year we decided to have them take another picture together. I really can't wait! They almost look like brother & sister in the picture that Max took. They truly love each other and I wish they could spend more time together. I hope you enjoy this preview picture as much as I have.

Turkey Day!

One of very few but certainly a favorite photo from Turkey Day this year... Maddox & Landon decorating their jello. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with a full house. Nothing like conversation and good food with friends and family. We are truly blessed! Thank you all who shared the day with us and my hope is that everyone else had a Thanksgiving as good as ours.

Let's Dance

Last night Max had a mixer at the bank, so while he was mixing the little guy and I went shoe shopping. He helped me try on lots of pairs of shoes and showed me the correct path to walk around all of the shoe benches. After we finished we met Max for dinner at La Brisa. Dinner was really good and as we were packing up to leave Maddox noticed two sisters dancing by some tables near us. He kept saying "Mommy & Daddy you go dance to!" I asked him if he would like to dance with me and he said yes. So we got up and starting dancing by the table but the whole time he was watching the little girls. After a minute of dancing the girl's mom noticed that we were dancing too. She asked her little girl to come ask Maddox to dance. She was too shy and ran to the table. So I asked Maddox if he would like to dance with the girls and he said yes. So we walked over to where they were and he asked the older girl if she wanted to dance with him. She said yes and proceded to teach him how to dance with her. He was a good student and spent the whole time watching her feet. I think he had a really good time. I was so proud of my little man for not being too shy to ask the girl to dance. It was so sweet to watch.

Happy Baptism Day

Today is Maddox's 4th Baptism Anniversary. Once again he celebrated by taking his Baptism plate down and eating cookies that Auntie Shyra & Uncle Gilfred sent to him. He wasn't crazy about the white chocolate chips or raisin cookies so he is saving them for when they come visit. Good thing they are coming for Thanksgiving.

Ragin Cajun's

The other night we met Josh & Billy at Ragin' Cajun for dinner. The boys had a great time eating dinner out of their boats and playing. The adults enjoyed the food, the music, the atmosphere and catching up. That is one of the things I miss most about not being on the West side of Houston anymore.

New Use for the Red Car

We found a great new use for the red car...a waiting bench and slide for the little guy. Atleast someone is enjoying it still.

While Dad's Away...

While Dad's Away...Mom, Boy and Granny will have a ball. We had one busy weekend. Daddy went to a certain city in Nevada to fulfill his groomsmen obligation for the weekend of Dude time. We missed him but stayed busy the whole time. Saturday morning we decided that we would brave the crowds and the drive and head to the Texas Renn Fest. It was a beautiful day clear skies and a nice cool breeze. It was Fairy weekend. We saw lots of fairy wings and cool costumes. Renn Fest is always great for people watching. We watched a lady blow glass. That was really neat.

We rode a camel.

Walked A LOT. We checked out the cloister bells, drench the wench, the belly dancers, jugglers, saw the royal parade, and the little guy tried the bungee jump.

He doesn't like heights so I was surprised he wanted to do it. He sort of liked it and was sort of scared. We had a great time.


We finished off the day with a nice meal at Chili's. Then got ready for a busy next day.
We drove down to Galveston this morning to check out ARToberFEST. Nicole had a glass booth there. She had a lot of great stuff. We picked up some Christmas gifts and stuff for ourselves. I got something for Auntie Shyra but the little guy decided it was for him so I may have to get her something else.
After we left there we headed downtown Houston to watch the Imagination Movers. The little guy is a big fan. I must admit I don't mind listening to their music. Not bad for kids stuff...has a nice beat. Right after we got out of the car and were headed to the venue we ran into Jacob. One of the boys from Maddox's class. They were so excited to see each other they held hands the whole way to the door.

We had a great time. They put on a great show. All the kids were jumping and clapping and dancing. Here is some pics from the show of the Movers and the little guy dancing.


Since the seats we had weren't all that great after the show I told the little guy we could go see the stage up close. We had great timing cause once we got down there the Movers came out to meet people. He got a high five from Mover Dave and he got to talk to Mover Smitty. He was so excited. He told Mover Smitty that he saw him on TV. LOL He had an amazing time and I am so glad we went.

Dewberry Farms

© 2007-2009 by Dewberry Farm
This year we took advantage of our schedule change and decided to head to Dewberry Farms. We had wanted to go last year but the weekend we had planned on it, I had to head out of town unexpectedly. So this year even though rain was in the forecast we decided it was Now or Never atleast for this year.
We had a great time. I wish we would have been prepared with extra clothes but other than that it was a wonderful place. I was also bummed that we didn't get to do the corn maze. It was a little too muddy for that. The little guy didn't want to leave. We even ran into one of his classmates, Ryan while we were there.
Maddox rode the car track, played on Fort Dewhicky, tried out the rope swing, panned for gold, rode the pony, watched the pig races, played the duck races, checked out the barn with all the animals, picked out pumpkins, and shot the corn cannon. There were still things we just didn't have time to do. Can't wait to go back.
If you get a chance check this place out. It was a lot of fun!

What's that on your face?

Oh what fun can be had with such a simple thing.

Milo wanted to know what the big deal was with having a mustache.

Rock Star

While getting some clothes this past weekend in Austin. My little guy found two things he adored and couldn't wait to wear right away.

After he got them both on he told his Auntie Shyra..."He was a ROCK STAR!"
