A&M Trip Long overdue...

I took the boys up to A&M two weeks ago. Katie, her two kids Ande and Gideon, me and my boys all piled in the car and made the drive to Aggieland. We met Shannon and her two boys Will and Gayton there. So, in all 3 moms, 6 kids which means 3 double strollers and lots of strange looks as we went around campus.



Will kept asking me where the playground is? And he wanted to play in every "pond" as he called the fountains. Here he is almost climbing in the fountain at the MSC.

Will and Luke tired from going all over campus.

Double Stroller-fest!

Fish Pond

Administration Building, Will and Ande enjoyed running up the steps. It was a sentimental moment for me because I took my bridal portraits at the Administration building and I hadn't been back there since then and here I am again with my two kiddos.

All the kids in the MSC, it was quite a challenge to get them all to sit down.

Luke, Gideon and Gayton.
Sul Ross statue. Students at A&M leave pennies on the statue for good luck on their way to take tests. Our kids enjoyed knocking all the pennies off the statue.

Big Family Pictures

Last week was my Grandmother's birthday and it was the perfect opportunity to take some great family pictures.

Here's the big extended family shot:

My grandparents, their kids, grandkids and great- grand kids:

(Yes, Will has a toy guitar, how else do you think we could keep him sitting still that long?)

My grandparents and their four boys:


Thank you to my Granddaddy for always taking great pictures for us!

11 Months Old

Luke turned 11 months old yesterday on August 10th. I'm all emotional about it because we only have 1 more month until my baby turns 1. These 11 months have already gone so fast. Luke brings a whole new dimension of joy our family. He really has been a great baby.

Here is a short video of one of his new favorite games to play with Daddy, it is so cute how he just cracks up.

Forts

Daddy has been building some great forts for the boys to play in lately. It has provided hours of entertainment around here. See how much fun they are having...



Here's an example of one of the forts, Will and Luke are having fun inside :)

Luke's Spikes

Luke was jealous of Will's spikes pictures, so here are a few of Luke with spikes too!
