Sleepover Saturday

Last night we all decided we were dying for a game night so Karrie and her husband Clint came over. The boys ran amok for awhile and then took their bath and got into their footie pajamas. I could not believe how dirty that bath water was hahaha. I found these Halloween flashlights at Target for a mere $2.50 that had 5 different covers for them. All kids love flashlights! They had a grand time and so did we! We all played word games and talked all night long, had a few drinks and just laughed and laughed. I love game nights at home. It's so much more relaxing and fun than any bar :) The only thing that would have made it better would have been Josh, of course.

This morning Noah and Tristan cuddled up and watched the Meet the Robinsons for a little bit. Noah loves holding his baby brother so much that I can bribe him with it hahaha. Noah... do you want to hold Tristan? THEN EAT! ;) They are going to be so adorable when the age gap starts closing a bit. I was in such a great mood from my adult interaction that I actually fixed myself up and wanted to go take pictures at the park. I made Karrie and CJ tag along ;) Tristan did NOT cooperate so all we have are a bunch of great shots of the boys. He was only happy in the baby carrier and he just slept most of the time. I'm not complaining.

I was glad I finally got to show Karrie this park. I knew she and CJ would love it. The boys were climbing all over the place, trying to scale walls like Spiderman. They fed the ducks while I nursed Tristan (which explains why I don't have pictures of that). A few times they allowed their excitement to get the best of them and failed to behave, but for the most part we had a fun time. The weather was perfect! I love that it gets down to 50 at night and then climbs back to a cool, non-humid, sunny 78 during the day. If Texas would be like this more often I would probably like it better.

When we got home I sat down and fed Tristan really well and changed him, cuddled with him (without any contraptions). He was very pleasant after that so I set the camera up on a timer on our deck steps and snapped a few shots. They turned out pretty well considering the sun had already set. I didn't want to waste all the time and effort I put into doin' myself up, you know? ;)

Those are really great shots of you & the boys.You should frame it.I don't think setting up a timer would work for us.Tthe kids wouldn't look at the camera without someone getting their attention.I just know them,lol.

It sounds like you all had a really fun night!

I had 1/2 a drink on my anniversary and felt like I was going to pass out.I am a total wuss ,I know,haha.

Beautiful pics, as usual, Allie. You look great and so do the boys. I love Tristan's sturdy little shape -- he will be keeping up with Noah in no time!

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

Image
We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Our 4th Anniversary

Image
Since we hardly ever see each other, when we finally do it's always some kind of celebration. This time we're celebrating our 4th anniversary so we're going to do a whole weekend. This is where we'll be spending our weekend alone :) It's the perfect place to get away from everyone and just be together. We don't even have to find someplace to cook! Even though the full kitchen looks more like a stove and a sink and no counter space. We'll make do. We're bringing a lot of games, some food, and ourselves. We might also bring along our fishing gear. We've already decided the TV is not going to be turned on (unless the Daily Show is on because we really miss Jon Stewart). Most likely we just won't turn it on. There are places to hike and the cabins are right next to the river. We've gotten so much rain lately it's probably pretty full. I'm very excited! I haven't been away from Noah for more than a day since he was born....
