I have to pat Ethan on the back as he tried to help me get ready to leave the house one morning. He got dressed, brushed his teeth, put styling gel on his hair. And he styled Dylan's hair too! Below Dylan is sporting a mohawk. Unfortunately the hair do didn't last, I tried to wash it out but there was so much gel that his hair was hard and flatten.
Pictured below is my little monster crawling around the floor. My camera was too slow and I couldn't capture his facial reaction to his hat. This was taken at a Halloween Party.
Friday Night Lights!
Last Friday, our family decided to go out and root for the Lake Worth Bullfrogs. Both boys were so excited to see the bright lights, the cheer leaders and of course the band. All this reminded me of my high school days. We got to enjoy the game a little past half time. Dylan wanted to crawl all over the stadium seats and he would only stop to clap with the cheerleaders when they chanted. We indulged in nachos, popcorn, & sodas. This is probably a typical Friday night for most but this was a real treat for my family. The best part of this all was the beginning of the third quarter. The fans are invited to walk on the field and line up along the tunnel and cheer the bull frogs on. Ethan felt so big and proud being on the sidelines.
Happy 21st Birthday Alyssa!
Yep our beautiful girl is growing up. We are so proud of what she has become. She was surprised by her family, David's Family and close friends. We had dinner at BooRays a tasty Cajun Place. She had lots of gifts but the best gift I thought was a sweet necklace that the boys gave her. It was a ring shaped pendent on a thin chain. The ring was in graved with "A sister is a forever friend". We couldn't stay to have a drink at the bar with her because we were past the boys bed time but we promise to take a rain check.
"May you live life fully, find happiness in the little things, follow all your dreams, always realize how truly beautiful you are and never forget how much you're loved!
Alyssa & David...the love birds.
We were fortunate to be invited to many Halloween Parties this year. This past Friday I helped host the Halloween Party for the MOMs Club. The kids had so much fun. The kids were greeted with bag crafts at the table when they walked in and lots of orange balloons on the floor. Then we had a wide variety lunch spread to go with some yummy desserts. We set up five games, a dance contest and best costume prizes. Oh and best part for me was we got free tooth brushes that were sponsored by my dentist office. Here are a couple of pictures of my kiddos. 
On October 11th, we were invited to decorate Pumpkins with Friends. Ethan is learning to be self-sufficient in making his crafts without mommy's help. It's hard for me to guide or give Ethan's directions and stand next to him while he makes his craft. Ethan has really made me proud these days in taking the lead and getting things done. For instance glueing his ideas on the pumpkin. (other days he'll make himself useful and grab a snack off the shelf or from the fridge, or getting dressed which really helps me out when I'm busy with Dylan. 
Aaron's 2nd Birthday was celebrated at Grandma Oliver's House. He had so much fun jumping in the bounce house, playing with his cousins and Ethan. Grandma Oliver made a wonderful Cars birthday cake. 
Vanessa and her family came into town and we took a trip to Grapevine, Texas. We took the boys to Lego Land not knowing that we could buy tickets online. There was a 2 hour wait time to purchase tickets then another 15 minutes to get in the door. Honestly, the price of the ticket was a little outrageous for me but both Ethan and Dylan enjoyed themselves. I'll just know to look for a coupon for our next visit. Lego Land was quite an attraction and with the time we had, we got to see the Lego Land Factory, Ethan, Uncle Nando and Ayden rode the Kingdom Quest Ride, we enjoyed seeing DFW Mini Land built in legos, Ethan & Dylan played in Duplo Village for at least an hour and finally we let Ethan play in the 3 story Lego City Play Zone. After the two hour of play time Ethan and Dylan fell fast asleep as I drove out of the parking lot and into the DFW traffic! 
The other day I thought I would start Christmas shopping. While looking for great deals, I found this tent that was 90% on clearance. I thought this was such a cool deal and something both my boys would enjoy. At the time I was going to save it for Christmas but my little Nosey Rosey found the box and we pulled it out tonight. Dad questioned on where we would store this but put it together anyway and the tent lasted about 2 hours until the rod bent and almost broke off. Here are some of the boys excitement when the tent was pitched in the living room. 
I took this picture with the intentions I would save the picture upright but didn't and so it's upside down. I thought it was still cute to see Dylan crawl through the tunnel for the first time.
