Christmas Fun!

Today, we had a great time just enjoying spending time together. Here are some memories from the day.

Trimming the Christmas Tree

Here are some pictures we took tonight of the family decorating our Christmas tree. Braden had a great time helping and did a wonderful job of decorating!





Something is terribly wrong when we're all in shorts and short sleeve shirts...decorating the Christmas tree.

Peanut Festival

This weekend is the Peanut Festival here in Grapeland. The Thursday night carnival was the kickoff for the weekend.

Pumpkin Brothers

Here are some pictures for you to enjoy of Braden & Bryce in their pumpkin outifits.



Just for fun, here are pictures of Braden and Bryce in the same outfit. The one on top is Bryce this month; on the bottom is Braden, two years ago.



Bryce and Braden in their pumpkin shirts. You can see how excited Braden was about taking this picture...

Gone Fishin'

On a recent trip to Bryan, Uncle Chris invited Braden to go fishing. He bought Braden a "Cars" fishing rod and tackle box. Here are some pictures from Braden's first fishing trip.



At times, Braden seemed as though he was more interested in feeding the ducks than he was fishing.



Braden patiently waited for the fish to bite!




Unlce Chris, Braden, and Daddy posing with Braden's first catch! It was a whopper!

Bryce Turns 5 Months Old!

This month, Bryce turned five months old.  Ironically though, he is still wearing 0-3 months clothing!  I think at this point, Braden was close to wearing 6-9 month clothing.  They are definitely different little boys!  Braden just loves his little brother and they frequently play together now.  Here are some pictures of Bryce...

Family Summer Trip

This week we took a family trip to The Woodlands. We stayed at The Woodlands Resort and had a great time just being together. Here are some pictures from the week...

Joining the Band Wagon

Well, here we are. It seems that with as "techie" as Aimee and I try to be, we would have created a family blog a lot sooner than this. But, as many parents will testify, we do not have a mountain of available time right now for "extra curricular" activities.



At any rate, we are excited about having a forum to posts thoughts, ideas, and more importantly (for grandparents at least), pictures! As this is one of those moments where we do not have a great deal of time, I will be ending this inaugural post rather quickly. However, stay tuned for what promises to be a blog of never-ending adventures from our lives!
