Pictures for Daddy

Buxton is our up in coming photographer. When he gets a hold of the camera, all I hear is "Cheese Mommy!" and "Cheese Sissy!" He's quite professional, he won't take the picture till you smile for him and SAY cheese. It leads to some pretty cheesey smiles, wouldn't you say?!
I love my crazy little 2 year old!

Bronco Youth Center

On Thursday (a few hours before the Ft. Hood shooting) the kids and I spent the morning on post at an amazing park. Buxton was very adventurous until it came to those jiggly bridges, he was terrified. He needed Maddison to help him cross. I have to say, it was kind of funny! Brayleigh really took advantage of being able to roam the park on her own, trying to keep up with the big kids. After about an hour and a half of serious play, I had one sweaty boy and one exhausted little girl. We will definitely be making this park a weekly adventure.

Yes, that would be, what little hair Sissy has, sticking right on up!

Brayleigh Ray

Yes, that is food on her chin. I had dropped an olive and our little Miss Piggy bolted to it!

She is getting so BIG! I think every conversation I have with Matthew, I say "Oh my goodness, she is getting to be such a BIG girl!" She is finally sprouting UP instead of [only] OUT! Brayleigh has been pulling herself up onto everything. She doesn't really walk along the furniture yet, but she does walk with her Tonka truck! Oh, hand-me-downs!!! She doesn't even need a ledge to get up on, she'll use the wall or cupboards. I'm telling the truth, one time she stood on her own, without holding onto anything, for 7 whole seconds. Really! She got her balance just right. I'm kind of hoping she'll wait for Daddy to start walking, but at the same time, she is so ready to move out of the infant class in the church nursery and can't do this till she walks, even one step!Oh our Brayleigh Ray.

Because I Love Him

I felt my Matthew needed a pick-me-up to get through the next month and a half! My Halloween costume?
My Husbands #1 Fan!!!
I know Honey, I'm sorry! You married a big dork, but it's all because I love you!
And I bet I just made you smile!

Because He Loves Me

All because my man loves me!
Roses and Chocolates
I am one spoiled, loved Wifey
Receiving flowers and chocolates "just because" is the best reason ever!

The Great Debate

Duck or Chicken?
Totally a Duck!
We've had people ask, Duck or Chicken?!

Trick or Treat Please

Happy Halloween! We spent the evening with the Omanson Family, trick or treating! Sissy, the lamb again, was a real trooper. She hung out in the stroller, watching the crazy kids run all over the place. Buxton was in a good mood, but was chill, just taking everything in. He just couldn't grasp the whole trick or treat idea. I think he went up to two houses, and that's because I made him! He was just totally OK hanging out.
After trick or treating we were invited to a bonfire. It was so homey, which you don't get in a military town! We spent the night around a fire, roasting marshmallows and drinking hot chocolate. It was a great night cap! Sure does make me miss my hubby even more.

That's his marshmallow!
