Go Texans!

The Zoo with Daddy

Another cute picture of Major...

Okay, now it is zoo time!





Try not to notice the huge monkey at 12 o'clock...

 

Bill took all these pictures with his phone while they were at the zoo on Saturday.  What I love about these pictures, is that they really show the true Eli and Brady.  Not the kind that you normally see because I've taken 15 pictures and deleted all the "bad" ones.  Brady is always making this face that you see in the photo above.  I don't know what it means, but he makes it all the time.  We can call this collection of pictures the unabridged edition of Eli and Brady.

Sweet Brady couldn't make the ride home.  Notice his lunch in his hand!

Mid-November Randoms

 The boys love having their picture taken with their baby brother.  He was wearing his "Little Brother" shirt again and they wanted more pictures with him.  I love the first one with Major's tongue sticking out, but this second one was cute, too.  Thank goodness I have a blog and can put all the pictures I want to on it!

 Friday, November 18th, Eli had a Thanksgiving feast at school where he got to dress up as an Indian and Brady and I got to eat with him at the school.  We spent several days cutting out this costume and decorating it.  He is wearing the house shoes that Grams got for my mom when she was in the hospital after having me!  They look a little like moccasins, right?

 Me and my two big boys! 

Here is a picture of daddy and his boys on their way to the zoo.  They are so precious!  Just like daddy, long sleeved shirts, shorts, hats on backwards.  The zoo is a special place that all 3 of them love!  Now that daddy is done with football season, he has more time to play with his boys!

 These last two photos were taken right before church on Sunday morning, November 20th.  I love this outfit on Major.  My brother, James, said he's trying to decide if Major is going out to play a round of golf, or help Sherlock Holmes solve another mystery.  Either way, he is adorable!!

Ready for church!

4 months old!

 At 11:00 am on November 11, 1918...the armistice ending World War I was signed.  Fast forward 93 years later at 11:00 am on November 11, 2011...I took my 4 month old to the doctor for his 4 month check-up!  (Does one have anything to do with another?  No.  I am just a history teacher, so I had to add it in. :) )  Major weighed in at 16 pounds (the 75th percentile) and measured 26 inches (the 90th percentile).  He is wearing 6 months clothes and is smiling and cooing and rolling over from front to back and back to front.  He has met all his 4 month milestones, and several of his 6 month milestones.  The doctor said perhaps we should start working on our 9 month milestones, which makes this mama smile big! :)  He is sleeping through the night and really is a good baby.  Both our other baby boys had at least one of their month pictures taken in a Michigan outfit, so I thought little Major should have the same!

 Here is one of him smiling.  Love this baby!  I didn't have a chance to try and get anymore because he decided it was time to eat!  Picture time was over!

 I love this picture!  Major loves his Daddy!

And a sweet Major baby playing with his big brother, Eli.

Halloween!

It looks like I totally messed up when I uploaded these pictures, so they are completely out of order.  I took this first photo for Nana, (my mom) who made these trick or treat bags for my brothers and I when we were kids in Nebraska.  We are missing my brother DJ's, so these are mine and James'.  Sadly, since we don't have all 3, one day someone will have to go without the special bag.  But it is fun to have right now!  These kids brought in a haul!

This second picture is at the end of the night, Eli AKA Batman, and Brady AKA the cutest little dinosaur you ever did see.  This third picture is of the boys with their candy.  They got to choose one to eat before bedtime (it is a school night!).  It also seems that Major wants some...not yet little one!

This year, our friends Wayne and Rebecca Pace brought along their kiddos to come with us.  In the stroller is Allison who is 17 months, and with Rebecca is Zach AKA Spiderman.  Alex, their oldest, is somehow missing from this picture.  He was dressed at Captain America.

This picture of Major with the pumpkin was actually taken the first thing Halloween morning.  Happy Halloween!

Here is our sweet Major skunk.  Look at those jolly cheeks!  What a happy baby!

This is the traditional pose before going trick or treating.  Brady, Major, and Eli with the pumpkin outside our front door.

ROAR!!!!!!!!!
