An Early Christmas

For Christmas we wanted to get the kids a trampoline. After looking online the one we wanted went on sale. It was too good to pass up! So I ordered it on Thursday and got free shipping as well as $20 off. It arrived on Friday afternoon. Can you believe? Well Summer just happened to be home with Chad when the FedEx guy delivered it. When I got home from work this is what I saw in the backyard.

They both have lived in it all day today. Summer was out there before 8AM. I am glad they like it and will continue to remind Summer and Chad this is their Christmas present!

And I finally got a picture of Chad and his birthday present!

Happy Birthday Chad!

Yesterday was Chad's Birthday and we were able to celebrate with his family.

This year the kids and I got him a Texas Longhorns rocking chair.

(will post pics later)

His brothers got him a great present which was a chocolate cake in the face.

Sorry I missed that one-but I know there are pics and a video out there.

Babe, I just want to say Happy Birthday and thank you for all that you do. You are an great dad and husband. I am so happy that God led me to you. Austin and Summer love you very much too!

And now some pics of the birthday boy thirty six years ago!

Trick or Treating

This year the Black/Muller Families all got together for Halloween. We spent the day hanging out and then went trick or treating. Summer had tons of fun. She carried Austin's bag for him and made sure he got candy too. She also would get a piece for Isaac and put it in his car. Austin walked almost the whole time and loved trying to open people's front doors. Isaac enjoyed riding in his car and going fast down the driveways. It was neat to see the kids play together especially now that Isaac is walking. Isaac and Summer stayed up played way past their bed times.

Trick or Treat at the Creek

Austin's school had a trick or treat night last Saturday. Grandma and Aunt Rosemary joined us for the fun. The school was decorated for Halloween and you could trick or treat on each hallway. Outside there was a pumpkin patch and you can build a scarecrow. Austin entered the costume contest but our Buzz Light Year PJ's did not win.

Enjoying the weather

Pumpkins
Our team hard at work-Aunt Rosemary, Summer and me-you had to stuff the head, shirt and pants.

A lumpy scarecrow-daddy fixed him and now he is in our front yard.

Costume Contest-FYI that is drool not pee

Pumpkin Patch

We barely made our trip to the pumpkin patch this year. I can't believe October is almost over. The kids had fun being outside and looking at all of the pumpkins. Like always a picture of both of them looking is impossible. Austin was running all over the place and loved the scarecrows. We picked out a pumpkin for the yard and they each got their own little pumpkin.

At least they sat down!

Austin making sure we were still behind them.

Austin found the moonwalk.

A fun night with Summer

Summer and I went to her daycare carnival last night. We had fun playing games, eating junk food and getting her face painted. Summer is a ballerina for Halloween this year. She started taking dance at school and once I bought the leotard I decided it would be a perfect costume. It was nice to have mommy-daughter time. And of course everyone asked where Austin was. He stayed home and had his daddy time.

Another one on the way!

We are super excited to add another addition to our family. I found out on my birthday that I was pregnant. Today was my 8 week appointment. All is well with our new little one which will arrive on or around May 28th.

Here is Summer's reaction to the picture-she already knew she was going to be a big sister

Here is what I handed Chad during my birthday dinner. It says-Get ready to work no time to play. Baby #3 will be here in May.

Go Longhorns!

Today we enjoyed watching college football. Austin and Summer love watching daddy and Uncle B get so excited. They even played their own game of football in the garage. The kids and I slept through the game but woke up just in time to celebrate.

Summer got the ball-Austin was cheering her on.

The best fans!

Silly Girl and Hurt Boy

Summer is too funny. Here are just a few ways she makes us laugh.

Yes it is a potty seat and Austin was chasing her around the room.

Putting on make up while I loaded the car for school.

That is lipstick, blush and eye shadow.

She had no idea the lettuce was in her hair. Check out her face that is a Ranch dressing allergy!

Austin fell at school and hit his chin and face on a table. He hit so hard he had a seizure. I picked him up from school because he was upset. It just happened today and he seems to be doing fine. He just keeps moving his jaw around. I am sure it is very sore. Poor Baby :(

P-E-A-R-L-A-N-D Oilers

Today we took the kids to see the Oilers play football. The game was at Reliant so Chad wanted to take the kids. Summer loved the half time show and watching the cheerleaders. Austin did not like sitting in his chair so I let him run around and he had a blast and met a ton of people.

I finally made it into a picture

Austin's First Day

Austin's first day went great! He is now going to school in the afternoon. So I had to take these pictures the night before. I send him in play clothes to daycare and after lunch they get him ready for school and put him on the bus. So far he seems to be doing fine and is already back in the mode walking around the house with his hands behind his back. Awesome news-Austin can now bend down, pick something up and stand back up. It is so cool to watch and I have tried 100 times to get it on video-he does it right after I stop recording.

Let's go now mom.

Big Boy!

Hands behind his back :)

A Day At The Museum

On Tuesday we went to the Children's Museum with Aunt Nini and Isaac.

We enjoyed getting the kids together.

They enjoyed all the toys, playing outside and the gift shop.

Of course a toy in the mouth
