Pumpkin Smumpkin

Two pumpkins down, two more to go. The one on top is our version of a mummy (or the pumpkin that used to much toilet paper?) The one on bottom is my MOPS contribution to breast cancer awareness month.

Both kids were so cooperative. I think they really enjoyed getting their "hands" dirty.

Look who I found hiding under the craft table. This kid is freaking hilarious! He kept venturing under the table and he must have known he was not supposed to be doing that. Every time I said his name he would quickly crawl back and peek out and then giggle and grin at me.

I can't fully reveal why Ayden's hand is painted. Let me just say we got a "hand" start on another project. Look for it in the coming posts and see if you can tell what they are.

Deployment Ceremony

Mission: Honor 72ND Infantry Brigade Combat Team before Deployment

We were honored to be at Minute Maid Park to show respect and honor to all these soldiers. This was the largest deployment from Texas since WWII.

Thank you to all the service men, women, and their families.
A special thanks to Clint, it is an honor to call you family!

Louisiana Part 2

Three days of this is never enough

Louisiana Part 1

Bear with me because there were so many pictures to choose from.

Procrastination

I'm the world's worst procrastinator. I'll be the first to admit that I have a problem with it. I'm sitting at the computer trying to get motivated to pack. There are so many things catching my eye keeping me from what I need to focus on. I see a lot of things that needs to be done before we leave. Letters that need to be mailed, blogs that need to be written, pictures uploaded, you name it and it probably should be done. Since we missed church last weekend I'm watching the DVD of the service. Motivation is coming slowly. But I thought since it had been a while since I blogged I would start out with that and maybe that would get the ball rolling. We will be gone for a few days and there will be lots of picture taking and blogging. (That will all be posted later.) And there are a few things that I would like to share with you that I haven't had a chance to get blogged yet. So be on the lookout for that. Here is a small preview.
Okay, enough procrastinating, I need to get to work.

a-Daa

a- Da, a-Da, a-DU, a-Duuur, Ga, Ga, Ga! What's that Logan? You say you love mommy? At least, that's my interpretation of all the happy shrieks. This little mister just keeps on growing up right in front of my eyes. This morning he was turning his head sideways to see things from a different perspective. I think after a while he did it just to amuse me.

Logan is just a few more days away from crawling. How can I tell? Because right now he is moving everywhere using his army guy crawl. He will get up on his knees for a few seconds and rock back and forth but he can't quite get the movements down. He is very mobile though. Here he is getting into something he's not supposed to, which is an everyday occurrence from here on out. Looks slightly mischievous huh?
