Happy Tanksgiving!

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble, Y'all!  Boston is officially 9 months old and was sick over Thanksgiving. He was runny/stuffy/coughy and just a pretty sad puppy in general.  I think Blake and I both caught what he had, but thankfully Bo is starting to feel better.  We went to Dallas and had a great time (except for my Longhorns getting their butts kicked by the Aggs).  Here are some random pics from this past week and a few from our trip to Houston the weekend before.   

9 month stats at the Doc today:
Weight: 18 lbs and 15.5 ounces (25 percentile)
Height: 29.5 in (75 percentile)
Noggin:  I don't remember what they said, but it's in the 75 percentile.

Lincoln and Boston - sweet boys!

 Nissy, Carter and Charlsie - we went to see Tangled in 3D!

 We took Bo for a walk.  You can tell how sucky he feels!

 Blake went in the pool after after the Aggie Win! It may have been in the 30's outside...it was burrrrr!  Booo Aggies Booo!

 JoJo and Bo

 1st Thanksgiving!  Boston has the wishbone here. He tried some stuffing and mashed potatoes!

BoBo and in his turkey hat...wait for it...

And the meltdown.  Get this thing off my head!

 Boston getting into the Christmas tree. The branches tickle his neck and he doesn't like that very much.  Maybe it'll keep him away...fingers crossed.

 We finally got to meet Sweet Baby Violet (Stacey's new bundle of joy).  She was an angel the whole time we were in Houston.

 Boston being naughty and getting into all of Aunt Ninny's stuff

No No No No No

This kiddo does something new every day and we are loving it.  He has figured out the tone of a question and almost every time he shakes his head No.  I don't think he knows what No means, but he knows we laugh everytime!  You can see him in action below.

Here's another genius story...I was showing Boston pictures of himself on my iPod this morning.  He gets a kick out of this.  He laughs everytime he sees himself.  A picture popped up of him that I also have framed on the wall behind the couch where we were sitting.  He took a good look at it and then whipped his head around and looked at the same picture on the wall.  You could see the wheel's turning.  We have one smart cookie on our hands :)

Klock Klock Klock

This one cracks me up...I think I say that for every video :)  When we make the Klock, Klock, Klock (not sure how else to spell this) noise at Boston he repeats it back.  At this end of this, he gets real real excited and starts jumping up and down. Then at the very end it looks like he gave a little wink...

Then on I recorded him watching himself on the above video, he went nuts!  Pretty funny little guy!

Birthday Party, Boston's Dedication and my Honey Do list is Done!

We had another big weekend.  We had a little birthday party for Blake on Saturday and we dedicated Boston in our church on Sunday.  Both Blake and my families were in town.  Of course, I was too busy to take a ton of  pics, but I'll share what I have.  We joked all weekend that my Dad was a day-laborer.  We appreciated his help so much.  He knocked out Blake's 'honey-do' list and some.  I'm sure I'm missing something, but here we go: hung a swing in a tree for Bo (love love love this), cleaned and fixed our gutters, bordered a flower bed in the front and back yard, cleaned all the coolers (and they were Gah-ross), put in 2 dimmer light switches, baby-proofed some shelving units and cabinet doors, cleaned and waxed my car, organized the drink fridge in the garage, organized my screws, nuts, bolts, etc. And I'm sure I'm forgetting something!  Thank you, Dad!! 

We don't have ANY plans this coming weekend and we are sooo excited. We are going to relax and hang out with Bo all weekend. We might even have time to watch the Netflix movie that has been sitting here for over a month. I can't WAIT!


Boston LOVES his new swing!

 These 2 are the only party pics...Burkhart is letting Bo eat his sunglasses.

Happy Birthday, Blake!

I want to wish Blake a Happy Birthday today! To the best hubs, best friend and best Dad EVER! I can't wait to share many more birthdays and grow old together :) Ok, enough of being sappy. Here are some fun pics of Blake from the past year :) Enjoy!

Happy Halloweeny and lots of other stuff!

It has been a very very busy week.   On top of many special events, Boston has sprouted his first tooth and started crawling.   We went through a couple weeks of Bo waking on the middle of the night and pretty much crying every 30 min. or so.  We think it was a combo of his tooth hurting him and he is getting smart.  He knows if he cries that mama and dada will come 'a' runnin.  Sooo, we Ferberized him and we are back in business.  Boston is pretty much sleeping through the night again. 

The festivities started last weekend, when Jo Jo and Norby came in town and we went to the Texas vs Iowa State game (Texas failed me, yet again)!  This past weekend we went to the Randy Rogers concert on Friday night.  Then we drove to Dallas on Saturday because we scored some World Series tickets for Sunday night and it was Halloween.  Happy Halloweeny to everyone!  Too bad we didn't win, but it was AWESOME to get to go to a World Series game! 

Below is a video and some fun pics from all the fun!
