The ATM game

Well the outcome of the game sucked but we had a good time watching it at Mikey and Vance's. Brayden loved playing with his cousins, I think he slept the entire night when we got home.Chance, Cole, Brayden and Cody.Brayden and Cody on the trampoline

Thanksgiving Day

We spent Thanksgiving day at Nani and PiPaw's. The food was great and we had a good time visiting. I experienced my first black Friday at 5am at wal-mart - pretty scary and hilarious at the same time.It finally got cold in Texas.

Thanksgiving at the McDaniel's

We did Thanksgiving with Bill's family this year and had a blast seeing everyone and meeting Cody and Brayden's newest cousin Lilly. She was born two days later and is just as sweet as Cody, I would say it must run in the family but it doesn't work for the rest of us.So cute together, at one point they were even holding hands. So cute!Mary Beth (the cutest H.S. cheerleader I know) and CodyGrandma and Cody all snuggled up, Cody loved always being held, it is something he wasn't used to before this trip.Paw Paw and CodyBrayden "riding" Zoey (the pony). He had such a blast playing with her.

Austin Zoo

So we took Brayden to the zoo and it was Cody's first trip. I was a little nervous about all the animal germs with Cody but he seems to have held up well. Brayden of course loves the zoo and all the animals.Brayden feeding the goats - it seems like we feed a lot of goats, at least a couple times a year - we are probably responsible for much of the goat happiness in Austin.

Cody yawning and bored with the train already.

Cody's first tailgate

I brought the kids to the Texas vs. Texas Tech tailgate this weekend. Brayden had a blast playing around and Cody slept the entire time. Here are some pictures.

Halloween

Brayden was Spiderman this year for Halloween and Cody was tigger. Bray had a blast collecting candy - his favorite thing in the whole world, which makes Halloween his favorite holiday. We spent the evening in the cul-de-sac playing with all of our neighbors and friends. We ordered pizza and then set out to trick or treat. Brayden filled his entire batman candy basket and was all smiles all night.

I put up all the decorations today and he asked me "Mom, where did all the scary monsters go?" He loves monsters and all things scary, including bugs and spiders, the phrase "All boy" really does apply here. before the big candy event

kicked back and relaxed (in a princess chair)

kicked back and relaxed - as always. I know I say it a lot but, what a great baby!! The little devil phrase is a joke because Cody is the perfect angel.

ready to go!!

Brayden and Patrick just back from trick or treating

All the little kids from our street, they multiply by the day, 3 new ones in the last 2 months.

The loot.
Brayden wanted to get a better view of all his goodies so he dumped them on the ground and then began to pick and choose and eat and eat. A couple of big boys with scary masks came by while he had his candy out and he scooped it up real quick so the "monsters" couldn't get it. Then he said to me "mom are those monsters coming back?" I didn't know what he meant until he asked me a couple of times and when I said no, he dumped it all out again and started eating again.
