playing with cousins

a reality shot

Chase and Ethan got an awesome new swingset. Micah and sam loved playing with them on it. Sam watched the big boys slide.

hey chase!

hey ethan!

fall fun

these were my pajamas when i was a baby!

mom, can he get off now? I am trying to drive through the house

our new favorite, the carousel at the galleria

not sure why the pics below are so small!! potty training plan b was not a success either. we tried putting micah in underwear (he calls them underweary). He would have walked around dirty all day if we had let him. we are now moving on to a sticker chart! i know he can do this. Sam is now babbling all day long and he will say baba, dada, mama and uh oh. he has four teeth and weighs almost 20 lbs. Micah loves celebrating birthdays and will tell you the month of every member of our family's birthday (including grandparents and aunts/uncles). He also loves to say "micah is so handsome". he must drink water at dinner from his "miss state cup" is the most picky eater ever. We are looking forward to seeing Jason and suzanne and all of the rest of our family for Thanksgiving. more pics to follow...

Granny and some of her great grandkids
My 94 year-old granny is so spunky. she walks every single day and was a big help with my kids!

Coleman was a great babysitter at our friend tailgate.

We had a blast tailgating with friends and family before the state/florida game. Neither of my kids had a nap (for the first time in their lives!) but they hung in there pretty well and had a good time.

potty training, ugh!

We have been sorta putting this off for a while, but it is time to get started. Micah has NO clue when he is peeing, so someone suggested letting him run around naked so he will see it when it happens. So, all halloween weekend we have had a little half naked boy (he got to wear a shirt) running around our house. So far, he as soiled his rug, the rug in the den and the front door mat. Any luck going in the potty, you ask? NO! He did say he was peeing yesterday and when Trip asked if he wanted to go to the potty he said, "no I'm all done." I think he prefers the diaper! This should explain the bottomless pics below. I censored them as best I could.
