Thanksgiving

 We spent Thanksgiving day this year at Nana's house.  After lunch, outside we went to play with some toys!  Our nieces brought their bow and arrow and others were doing a little shooting practice (that is why the boys are wearing things on their ears - I can't think of what they are called right now!).  Wy took a big interest in wanting to shoot the bow and arrow and Jacob proudly helped him!

Wyatt did a decent job and then G needed a turn!

Gobble Gobble!!!

Timber Rattler team party

Sunday, November 17th

Yay for our first ever baseball season!!  Wyatt had a great first season in T-ball and we celebrated the end of the season with our team at a local park on a lovely Sunday afternoon.  The boys played, ate snacks, received their medals and even played a little football.  Lots of fun!!  Looking forward to spring ball coming soon in March.

Hampton, Heaton and Wyatt enjoying some snacks.

This guy thinks he is on the team also!

Kendall's 3rd birthday

Saturday, November 9th

Our little family got to celebrate Kendall's 3rd birthday with her!  Here is the precious birthday girl saying "cheese"!  So cute : )

No clue what my boys are saying below - possibly "dinosaur"?  And we are all Aggie'd out because we played Mississippi State later on that day.

Happy birthday Kendall Rae!!!

A&M vs. Utep

Saturday Nov. 2nd

Since M&P and the boys were coming back from SA, we met them over at April's house Saturday evening and from there we walked to campus for all the fun pre-game activities.  M&P had a reception to go to at the MSC while we had some family fun.

We just so happened to cross George Bush just as the team was arriving down by the Former Student bldg.  Perfect timing!!!  The boys were tired and cranky and Wy did not want to get out of the wagon.  But G was totally up for checking out the action.

There is Coach Sumlin looking super nice!

 #13 Mike Evans!!

We made our way to visit the horses - and I can't remember this guy's name for the life of me right now.  Ugh!!

Then it was time for step off at the quad!  Here comes the band!!!

After watching the entire Corps march in, we met up with M&P in front of the MSC for a few family pictures before the game.  The boys went home with M&P while Jacob and I went to the game.

Down by the River

Friday November 22 - Gruene, Texas

We traveled down to Gruene before Thanksgiving for Brady's retirement.  My aunt rented this awesome house for the family to stay at and it just so happened to back to the river.  The morning of the retirement ceremony is when the super cold front moved in and we woke up to 30 something degree weather.  Buuurrrrr!!!  My mom took a few pictures of the boys playing down by the river - dragons and all!  

These 2 were the next day at the retirement party.  We attempted family pictures this morning and I don't think I could have bought a smile like these below if I tried.  Oh well!

Uncle Brady's Flight

Friday, November 1st

My parents took the boys to San Antonio to watch one of Brady's last flights before retiring.  Brady is my uncle, the boys' great-uncle, who has served in the Air Force for 20 years.  He is a fighter pilot and at the time of the pictures was a instructor pilot, seeing how I am posting this in December he is already retired!!  I am so happy the boys were able to go watch him fly!  I hope they remember this forever because it truly is an extremely neat experience and one many do not get to experience.

My mom took all of these pictures!!  They are all fantastic.

Before the flight.  Notice the boys are wearing jet shirts - they were very excited about it!

Mia, Aunt Mel, Wy, G and Papa with Uncle Brady

Thumbs up and ready for take off.

And he is off.....

Safely back on the ground.

Apparently G was all about getting in the cockpit and checking it all out.  Not a surprise!

And Wyatt was not very interested in doing much more than standing on the ladder and looking scared.

This kid loved it!
