Blog troubleshooting

OK I've gotten several emails and I know people have had problems posting on the blog. I've tried some troubleshooting, so can some of you please post a comment to see if it's working now? Thanks!

Fall fun

This weekend we got our first pumpkin of the season--I'm sure the first of several since we are scheduled to go to a pumpkin patch soon. Daniel had a lot of fun painting it this year. Usually he just watches as Mommy and Daddy carve it, but this year he got to have all the fun!! We were just going to paint a silly face, but by the time we were done every square inch of that pumpkin was painted!

Silly big brother

Poor Logan--now that he is a bit more interactive Daniel is really having fun including him while he "plays". I'm constantly having to watch him to make sure he doesn't get too rough, and when I correct him he says "Don't worry, he likes it!". Here's an example:

Yes...those are stickers all over Logan's face. Haha, Logan really didn't seem to mind, so why not, right?!

Fightin' Texas Aggie Football

WHOOP!!

Teaching baby brother how to "Gig 'Em"

September

This has been a busy month. As the previous post says, we took a day trip down to the beach one weekend. The next weekend, we had Haley's 3rd birthday party which was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I didn't get too many pictures from that. After the party, the Keys came back to our house for the night and Daniel had his first sleepover--we pulled out his trundle bed and him and Marshall slept in his room. Well, it took them a while to finally fall asleep, and many threats of being separated if they didn't stop playing/talking!! The next morning, after some donuts the boys rode their bikes together around the block a few times. Later, we went to the Downtown Aquarium and the boys had a fun time riding the train, seeing sharks and fish, riding a carousel, and jumping in a bouncy house. Daniel and Marshall have so much fun together everytime they see each other!! Logan has had quite a few milestones this month, too. He turned 5 months last week, and he now has 2 teeth (both on the bottom), he can sit on his own now, and he "can" roll both ways, although he usually will roll from his back to his tummy and get stuck and scream until I roll him back to his back. I don't know if he forgot how to roll from tummy to back or what! I attempted rice cereal a few weeks ago, but he didn't seem to be a big fan, so I waited until the other day. The second attempt went much better and now when I feed him I can't shovel it in fast enough!! He cries if I take too long to get it in his mouth!! It is so fun watching him progress, but it's also sad how fast he is growing up!! Here's a few pictures for the month:

Galveston

We took a day trip to Galveston a few weeks ago for Vanessa's birthday and the kiddos had a great time. The 4 toddlers all did great in the water, playing in the sand, playing football, chasing birds, and building castles. The 4 babies did well laying in the shade and playing with each other. Daniel had so much fun, I think next year we will go and make a whole weekend of it!

Austin trip

Last weekend we headed to Austin to celebrate Marshall's 3rd birthday and Danielle's 30th birthday (although that part was a surprise)!! It was also our first time to meet cutie pie Harper! Logan was enamored ;) Marshall's birthday party was at a bounce house and all the kids had a great time, and so did the dads! Poor guys were sweatier than the kids by the end of the party. After the party, we all headed back to the Keys' house for a surprise party for Danielle. We had a great night hanging out at their house, and the boys had fun playing with some of Marshall's new toys, including the guitar. They even got to wear matching superhero costumes that Parker gave to Daniel and Marshall. They spent the better part of the evening running up and down the street getting the "bad guys". Once the night was over, they all got to take a bath together and get ready for bed. They were exhausted after a long, fun day!! The next morning we got to hang out with the Keys outside and enjoy some cooler weather. It was a fun weekend and we can't wait to all hang out again soon!!
