New Tricks

 Baine is trying to walk, and he wants to more than anything!  We quickly learned that Baine absolutely cannot stand the feel of grass.  So we have been putting him down in the grass, he will stand up on his own, and take one step and then crouch down because he doesn't realize he is almost walking!  I have a feeling any day now he will just come walking out of his bedroom in the morning!

On top of learning to walk, Baine is also learning to feed the dogs.  However I wish he wouldn't feed them his food all of the time :)

A Day With Thomas the Train

 On Sunday, Joe and I took the boys to Boone to "A Day With Thomas the Train".  We rode the train, let Beau play in the bounce house, play trains, and of course, pick out a new train :).  Beau's expression and bright eyes of when we saw the train was priceless.  Even Baine loved the train ride!

Still My Baby

Even though Baine is 11 months old now, he is still, and forever will be my baby.  He has been really battling teething this fall, and his favorite way to relax is either to be rocked, or swing in his baby swing.  His feet hang over the edge, and our little "beef cake" is a little over the weight limit for the swing, but he still loves it.  See, he is still a baby! :)

Crazy Kid

Beau's personality is developing more and more everyday.  His latest thing, is that he likes to refer to himself as "master builder" or "professor Bob".  And "professor Bob" needs to wear one glove and wear safety goggles at all times.  Where does he come up with this stuff?!

Bedtime Stories With Daddy

Joe is truly an amazing, loving daddy.  He is so good with our sons.  He genuinely takes time everyday to get one-on-one time with them, makes them breakfast every morning, reads their bedtime stories, and even does most of the daycare with them since I am swamped with meetings and volleyball.  It won't be long until they are too big to sit on his lap for bedtime stories :(

My Kind of "Sunday Funday"

A couple of Sundays ago, Joe and I had Bond and Banx over since Brook and Austin were out of town.  They had been at my dad's all weekend, and I wanted them for a day (and to let the kiddos all play together).  The kids play so well together.  I cannot believe how big they are getting :(  Slow down time!  I wouldn't trade these days for anything in the world.

Autumn Acres

We went to the annual Autumn Acres family night with church, and as always, the kids had a great time!  It was a beautiful evening full of laughter, running around, and kids just being kids!
