Life Moments

I'm trying to decide if I should sit myself down here and type up a little something about the family, you know-- catch up with what we have been up to, or if it would be more beneficial to "try" to take a nap. The problem with trying to take a nap is that every time I do the stinking' phone rings or I am interrupted in some other way. SO ... I will type a little something about the family!
Ben is working nights this month. It hasn't been too bad. It feels like we are able to spend more time together, which is nice. However, he is exhausted during that time. What can you do?
At Church, Cael is a SUNBEAM!!! No more nursery for my young man anymore. Yesterday he was taking a nap and woke up to tell me about his dream. I will try to quote him "mom, you and me were at church... I went to my class and we were having snack....the chairs had mouths and were trying to eat the snack... it was crazy. But mom, in my class we don't have snack anymore because snacks are in the nursery and I don't go there anymore." Yes, my son does not go to nursery anymore, he's growing up.
Brecon is army crawling all over the place and enjoying as much food as he can get into his mouth. Most nights he sleeps quite well and only wakes up once... but last night was a different story-- we'll just say it was a long night! He must be growing or something :) We love him!
Things are going well for me. I'm busy with a mom's preschool for Cael, playgroups, and other fun stuff. Also trying to teach some people how to play the piano. Nothing fancy, just the basics. I hope it goes well. Life is busy, but fun!

This weekend

While some friends were in town, we had a chance to play around with her camera. It was so nice to click off many pictures without waiting for a flash. Plus, you could catch those "moments" without re-enacting them. It sure was fun... sadly our friends (and their camera) are gone, but at least we got a few good ones of the boys. Stay tuned for Christmas pics :)

Cael is busy, but he'll give us a look.

Something must be really interesting

Something must be really funny

Happy December

Our community had a "Breakfast with Santa" activity. It is still weird to have these sort of things without any snow around, not to mention how unseasonable warm and humid it is as well. I guess I will just have to deal with it. Well~ Cael was a little wary of the bearded stranger at first, but decided to smile real big for the picture. I don't know what is wrong with Brecon, though, he is a serious child. If anyone can tell me what they see "different" in the picture, I'll pat you on the back... we'll just say we left immediately after this picture was taken :)
Peace 

I've never done any video on my blog yet, so let me know if you see this amazing FEAT or not...

Brecon's takes over!

Hi. My name is Brecon. I'm almost 5 months old (can you believe it?) Well, I guess I'll tell you a little bit about myself. I like to eat, take naps, smile, and my latest trick.... rolling over! I'm on the verge of crawling (if you know what I mean) I'm happy most of the time, except for when I get mad. My mom likes to stick me in this "saucer" thingy when she needs to get stuff done. It's pretty entertaining, but my fingers are pretty entertaining too!

This is my big brother Cael. He sure is crazy, but I love him anyway. He likes to roll me around tries to carry me around the house, but my mom tells him to stop. I don't know why, Cael is very strong... but oh well.

Well everybody, life is pretty good (at least for me). Hope everyone is doing well and you like my pictures!

Sea World?

Many of your may wonder what Sea World is doing in the middle of Texas? Well, I don't have an answer for you, it just is. Sea World San Antonio.... and we were given some season passes and have been using them like they're going out of style the past year and 1/2. My friends' brother works there (he's the guy in the coveralls) and took us on a "behind-the-scenes" tour of the Sea Lion Stadium and we met a new friend. Seriously, the sea lion is smiling for the picture, is that funny or what? Those sea lions sure are crazy. We've sure enjoyed having something fun to do.

HEY HALLOWEEN!

OH the joys of Halloween!

We pulled out the pumpkin to be carved this past month and this was just a classic "hey let me set the timer and see what happens". Well as you can clearly see, the photo took before any of us were ready., except for Cael-- he looks pretty ready to me.

I need to explain that Cael needs to take his afternoon nap or else we all suffer. So late afternoon on Halloween, I easily put Cael in his bed for a "power nap" so that we will all have FUN FUN FUN later that night. Well, he is sleeping soundly when we suddenly need to leave, so he is not feeling too excited about trick-or-treating and leaving his nice warm bed. In the midst of crying and not cooperating with the latest costume choice, we finally got him out the door (with tears still in his eyes) for a photo before we leave for the night. It will be a memory that stay with him FOREVER! Halloween is fun, quit your cryin'!

The PLATT (boy) PIRATES!

I, on the other hand, was totally excited to dress up this year in this lovely Thrift Town find. You won't believe me if I told you, but the dress and shoes fit like they were made for me, it was amazing! You gotta love the yellow! Also, I think I went through an entire can of hairspray to get my bangs and pony to cooperate accordingly. It could be bigger, I know, but we were in a hurry!
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A SCURVY PIRATE?!
Brecon was a good sport to have eyebrows drawn on his cute little face, and that pirate bandana really covers up his head nicely. And are you checkin' out the chest hair? oh my!
Halloween was sure fun!

A cute little boy...

Just wanted to throw this one up here, the kid is growing and even is smiling real big for us. Gotta love it.
